That shit could be $70 and I would still be laughing at dumbasses buying that lame gimmic controller. This system is going to bomb, its not appealing to either category of gamers: casuals or hardcore. Why didn't Nintendo just expand upon the full-motion sensory that is obviously going to only get more popular by next generation?

Did they really need to push out a new system before Sony and MS announced theirs? Seems like a failure on a strategy-standpoint and a half-baked idea for the controller that tells me they didn't learn their lesson from a long history of expensive peripheral hardware failures.

edit: also loving this recent era of great fighters, I'm so excite. I miss the days of playing all the fighters at the arcades.

ok, so one thing about all of those games for the Wii U they showed...
The console doesnt come out until later in 2012, and all of the 3rd party games they showed are mostly all due this year or early next year. Soooo... They're just going to release them late on their system?

Geoff trolling Ed Boon.

Dragon's Dogma gameplay streaming on Capcom/Youtube. So much talking from the NPCs... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU8Wcys1feY)

EDIT: Wonder if you can set the inventory screen to NOT pause the game, and lol to the one shot eff your face from the Chimera. Once they all started wailing on it though, it just got effed up. The game seems pretty polished from what i have seen. I wish the release was a bit closer than 'early 2012' =( I am reading they claim from 30-100 hours of gametime.

DMC still looking poor/average in the gameplay department. Lacks the fluidity and style (the latter I can forgive) of DMC3/4 and Bayonetta. When you say they copied Bayonetta, they pretty much took scenes and environments straight from them lol.

Keep sucking NT. Usually they can at least make the combat look nice, but maybe my extreme hate-vision is preventing that.

GameTrailers just showed one of the new characters in Mortal Kombat. Skarlet.

You have to see her fatality. Just wow.. lol.
