My fellow Nintendo fans, why can't we be more like Sony fans?

I don't know. I'm not like either. I'm enthusiastic about Wii U. Mario 3D World isn't what I wanted, but it looks like a really fun game. I was admittedly, and very sadly let down by certain things about Pikmin 3 (no swarming), and that really stains my enjoyment of the game. But it's still a decent game. I just hope the Wii U doesn't wind up like the GC was for me: several entries in big franchises that I just simply did not care for. Namely, Sunshine, Double Dash and Wind Waker. Mario is already better than Sunshine to me, Mario Kart already looks a ton better than DD or the Wii game (so long as those bikes mind their shit and knock off that WHEELIE-ING), and who knows what they'll do with Zelda, but I'm gonna trust it'll hopefully be amazing.

I'm apprehensive about Smash Bros. I think it's stupid not to give it an official name, and I think the 3DS version is a waste of time and resources that all should be going to the Wii U version. I also don't like Sakruai's cryptic talk about the adventure mode, and how he doesn't want it to be like SS from Brawl, even though I personally loved that. I am one of those odd SB players who doesn't really play it against other people much, so I really enjoy the single player modes, and I loved how much single player content there was in Brawl as opposed to the first two games. I would expect and hope that this new entry would have at LEAST as much, if not more content, considering it's going to be on a BluRay sized disc.

I'm also hopeful that I will finally see new (GOOD) entries in the Star Fox and Wave Race series. Both of which I've been waiting for, for a long time now. A new Metroid would be nice, but I really only want to see them do one if they could POSSIBLY find it in themselves to just go the obvious route, and make a gorgeous 2D Zelda on the same kind of wavelength as Muramasa or Rayman Legends. A 2D, HD handdrawn, sprite-based Metroid in the style of the SNES game, would be mind blowing, and arguably my most anticipated game this gen, IF they'd do that. I don't want to play a 2D Metroid on a handheld. I want to play it in HD on a big screen. So we'll see if they ever do that......


All in all, I'm enthusiastic, and hope that I get plenty of games this gen that I really enjoy, as I did last gen. And a new (GOOD) Star Fox really would make my decade.
