The graphics of Pokemon are ugly. You'd think such a big franchise would get the best graphics out I the system. But hey it is a step forward for this franchise, about time it entered modern times.

It's not great but should look okay on the small 3ds screen. If its the same devs this is like their first full 3D game.

It's not great. You are correct. And for a beloved franchise that prints money it should be great.  The 3DS (an me as a Pokemon lover) deserve more.

I have a 1 terra external already, I will probably go with the 1 terra upgrade too. How does it look otherwise? I think it looks pretty good for the price.

Looks good to me, but I'm a bit behind so don't take my word for it. I think Edge should be more up to date than me. You could also try the GS hardware forum if you dare.

I would pay the extra $70 for the better video card Bear, a 660 will run most games for you on medium, the original card that comes with it is not very good.

Besides the card the system looks good from what I seen.

7850 rates better than a 660 check out futuremark and see.Even if the 660 is a little better they both rate very high, I don't want to spend an extra $70- on a card would rather get a bigger better HD. Saying the 7850 is not very good is a huge falsehood though.

I finally started playing Zelda: Skyward Sword tonight.

Not very far in, so can't say much other than I'm not blown away yet. The controls are ass...for a game that is supposed to have revolutionary control, it feels outdated other than swinging a sword. And I never did like the wii remote for adventure games like this, not having a 2nd stick for camera control just annoys me. Not impressed graphically either. I prefer the Wind Waker style over this. WW looked sharp, this game looks washed out like Okami.

I hope Wii U Zelda doesn't use these controls like Aunuma said it would. Use the Gamepad, PLEASE!

Sorry I gave up on pokemon ever really trying a long time ago. Let me know when they a big budget home console jrpg.

Nope. Are they particularly negative about the Wii U? I don't go there, I find their site to be without purpose.  I do honestly think the Wii U sales over Christmas were less than what Nintendo would have expected.

I read the article GG posted, but important to remember that the PS2, 360 and Wii were severly supply constrained at launch (as opposed to the U). It was impossible to buy a 360, Wii or PS2 within 6 months of launch at retail unless you had a pre-order or a connection.

So Wii U outperforms ps3 and 360 launch numbers, makes more money than wii and it's still a flop?
You ARE kotaku.

The controls are great. The visuals are better than ww, one area is all blotchy like monet. Ww may have been sharper, also because you played it on an sdtv, whilst you are playing ss on an an hdtv, the new one which you already said made wii look like ass.

Amazing... I haven't even re-activated my Gamefly account and I'm already pissed off at them. For the past several months they've emailed me at least once a week with a special offer to reactivate my account at a discount. For whatever reason though, ever since I decided to restart I haven't gotten a thing from them. All the old email offers they've sent me have since expired as well.  How hard is it for a man to save 20% I ask you??

By the way is anyone having difficulty getting into the Non-gaming Discussion Forums? Everytime I click into that link I either go nowhere or I get a very funky view of the GGweekly page.

GG, I still haven't seen this parachute mission yet.  I think it's much further in than you think.  We may also be playing this game quite differently.  Every time I play, I usually do tons of liberation and home front missions. I usually do one, maybe two main missions during a one hour sit through.  I'm only twelve hours in ATM.

I took the TV into account, and its not that...its just the engine. Googled a bunch of stuff on it, and many others say the same thing. It looks great in spots, then total shit in others. The controls don't do it for me. Again, most traditional games to me, like Zelda, always feel ike they have forced in motion controls. It works, yeah. But at the end of the day, having to bend my wrist in half to get the same reaction I could have gotten out of a button press, is annoying. Especially for how much this game was hyped up to be the great prover of the Wii Remote once and for all. It doesn't.

The adventure itself is starting to pick up now.
