Wii U may not "feel" like next-gen to many people, but it depends on your perspective. My friends and I had a bit of a Wii U launch party yesterday, at which we played local multiplayer with five players at a time on a single console. THAT felt next-gen to me. I thought Metroid Blast in Nintendo Land was the best example of this in action -- it was crazy.

No, the particle effects or whatever weren't blowing the PS360 away, but none of us cared about any of that. The game was just fun, and it kept more of us involved at a time. Less switching controllers around, fewer people sitting out each round, more focus on having fun.
