Square "considering" Final Fantasy on Wii 2? That's pretty much the only major franchise that hasn't at least made an appearance on Nintendo hardware in the past 10 years, and it baffles me. Why are they only considering it? Nintendo are much more popular in Japan than Microsoft and the Wii 2 could allow them to do some great shit. Fucking do it assholes.

I'm telling you guys I'm really intrigued by the new system and the controller....it seems like the ultimate controller that you could do anything with, unlimited possibilities. Every game out there could have the best version on the Wii 2 just because of the controller possibilities. I know many people have been saying they thought Nintendo didn't have a real focus on one strong area where the new system would lead everyone...but to me that's what's great about it. There is no one area, or one design. It seems like something that developers can use their full imagination with and really do WHATEVER they want....which is why I'm loving it.

And its not going to be held back by old tech, unlike the Wii.

Regular media coverage of gaming... sigh... this is from a story about the Australian "ESRB" looking into Dead or Alive for 3DS: (How fucking clueless can you be to confuse video games with CARTOONS?)

"Can cartoons be porn?"

Speaking with Eurogamer at E3 in Los Angeles this week, Matsuhana explained that the studio had decided against including the 1998 PSone classic in the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid HD Collection as both its gameplay and visuals are just too dated.





"Obviously, we wanted to include it and make it a complete collection. However, as you know, Metal Gear Solid 1 was for the PSone. It has a very, very low polygon count," he explained.





"While at the time the game was something new and refreshing, just bringing it as is into HD probably wouldn't have that much meaning to us. We're doing two and three with a certain work flow where the goal is to take that game, preserve it and introduce it to a new generation. We can't really take that approach with Metal Gear Solid 1 because it's very dated at this point."







"If we were going to do Metal Gear Solid 1 we'd want to take more time with it. Not just up-res the textures, not just make things look pretty and polished, but go back and tweak some of the gameplay, tweak the story to update things and do it properly. Not just a re-master but a re-imagining almost.

"We do want to do that sometime down the road but it will take more time. It's not something we're looking at doing right now."

Um, couldn't they have used Twin Snakes?

I think that might've proven too much - they'd have to change up quite a bit, plus I'm not sure if the situation with the game being developed by Silicon Knights and that Versus guy helps much.

I forgot that it was Silicon Knights who remade it.

So did Capcom not show anything on the HD versions of RE4 and Code Veronica at E3?

Why are Vita / U comparisons being made?

It's like comparing the latest Mazda Miata (MX5) to the latest Winnebago -- they are completly different.

Holy Crap!

You're gonna be able to play DS games on the Wii U ! ! !

Two Screens, Duh!

Doubt there will be a card slot, but there can certainly be Downloads ! ! !

Super DS, anyone?!

Did you just compare the Wii U to a Winnebago?

Oh god no. You can subsititue either console for either car in that comparison.  I just don;t see why either one is being compared to each other -- as if they were competing platforms.

Infamous is a decent enough game, I'm enjoying it and will complete it, but it lacks some major polish.   The controls are too floaty for my tastes.  Jumping and combat are just a little inaccurate for me as well.  I almost always have trouble getting a hold of a reaper in melee.  I do like the powers that I have, plus the way of upgrading.   There's also a lot of glitches, like when I had to escort these people who were rioting.  The car that I was escorting hit a pedestrian and dragged her body.  I revived here, she stood up and kept being dragged to the end.

I like that I'm not invincible and have to plan out a lot of the battles with the reapers.  It's not quite as easy when there's eight of them vs just my one man.  The side missions are ok, but of course, repetitive.  I chose the good path, like always.

The problem with this game for me is the same as Bulletstorm, I have no incentive to go back and play it once I finish it.  I'm sure I'll just delete it very shortly after.  It's a solid 8.0 from me, despite the flaws I mentioned.   If Infamous 2 is more of the same, then I can see the justification for it's GS score.  I'm sure I'll play that one as well, when it's dirt cheap.  Future gaming club game?

I was all excited to join their Revolution, until I realized they used the logo from This "Revolution" and then realized theirs too will also be a flop, so I lost interest.

Phase Two: We will hack into Ubi Soft's Site and bring down the Petz Forums, freeing the minds of the world's youth...

...mainly because we were disappointed they didn't show anything real at the E3 Wii U presentation!
