I see a lot of familiar faces here who just now show up. I also see a lot of people who read Malstrom's blog too. Anyway moving on.
Of course the Wii U is not Wii 2! The Wii was amazing. The Wii U is not even close. The Wii was about expanding an audience and making a controller that was actually a step ahead of its competitors. (and Wii U)
The Wii U just wants that GC/Hardcore Audience because apparently Nintendo thinks they can have it all.
