I like the idea of GOG Galaxy now it doesn't matter which service I purchase my games from I could still play with my friends through GoG Galaxy.

I was excited for the Xbox One controller PC update until I figured out how to make my PC think the PS4 controller was an Xbox pad. Now, I don't give a shit.

Have you guys heard the rumor that the Last of Us Remastered is going to do a surprise launch next week during E3? Stealth launches are not good ideas. And shit, the game was only released 1 year ago. I get why they're doing it, and I know a lot of people want it but ONE YEAR!!!!  I know people who still haven't gotten around to the PS3 version. That just seems like they're canibalizing their own sales.

Sony crushed that rumour.

I know the lifespans of the XBone and PS4 are short ATM, but it is kinda cool to see Nintendo with more good exclusives than those two combined.

I was playing nothing for like 3 months. Suddenly I'm playing Wii U AC4, got Wii U Lego Batman 2, Mario kart and of course a free game so that's W101 too. And I still haven't got around to buying DKCTP or the cheap Batman Arkham Origins on the eshop either. I'm ensconced in U games.

Maybe the indie route is the way to go for the big N.  Focus on making as many of those exclusive as possible.

Well, if what Epic Games are saying is true, we are going to see 3x less AAA games but with increased budgets. Notice how everything has been pushed to 2015? Meanwhile if Nintendo only has to make games to Wii U standards, they'll be able to crank out a lot of exclusives in less time than these 3x AAA last gen budget games that are being made at 3x less in ratio.

Can Mario Kart 8 save U? cnn.com

Yes....suddenly the Wii U is going to take over and every 3rd-party developer in the world is going to bring all their biggest games exclusively to the Wii U...all because of Mario Kart 8.

It wont happen but it is doing all right. I mean for instance Wii U software sales were up worldwide 80% year on year compared to last spring. Mario Kart boosted U hardware sales in the UK 666% and 82% of sales were of the Mario Kart bundle. In the week before MK launched in Japan it beat the PS4. In the week it did release Wii U sales more than doubled PS4 sales and PS4 sales are trailing Wii U sales in Japan comparing both launch periods. The more Us there are the more software sales can grow. Ironically Mario Kart selling wii us may give Watchdogs U a better chance than it would have faced without it.

So is anyone getting Tomodachi Life? It has piqued my curiosity.

Errrr, need to eat, I'll come back and post around 18:00 UTC time (top right of the site time) if I can play.

I'll be playing around then. Just brought the wife back from the hospital and she's pretty much knocked out from painkillers and drugs, so I should have free time for a while.

Let's be real here...the Wii U outselling PS4 in Japan doesn't really mean shit just as Xbox not selling in Japan doesn't mean shit. Japan is in their own world. Just the fact that handhelds dominate over there is proof of that.

Its great Wii U is selling a bit better and that MK8 is doing well, but it makes me laugh anytime Nintendo gets a popular game its the same ol' "Can this game SAVE system X?" crap....going all the way back to the Gamecube.

Can Metroid Prime save the Gamecube? Can Resident Evil remake? Can Resident Evil 4? Can Skyward Sword save the Wii?

The Wii U is what it is, its not gonna be saved nor does it need to be saved. Nintendo will have their usual must have games and the console will be a barren wasteland its last few years just like every console Nintendo makes.
