Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski is never one to hold back his opinion.IndustryGamers asked the Epic design director back at E3 about the Wii U, and he talked about the evolution of technology but in the end admitted that it doesn't matter because it's from Nintendo and people will buy it no matter what. 

He commented, "From what I’ve seen, it looks pretty cool. It seems like you can stream your game from your television directly to your [tablet] controller, so if you have irritable bowel syndrome, or a small bladder, you can still play it in the toilet. That’s great. But, you know, from what people are saying online, they’re like, 'Oh, it’s just a DreamCast, whatever.' But it’s like, 'Dude, what’s old is new sometimes.'  

"The Power Glove [back on NES] led to the Wii, right? The Virtual Boy led to the 3DS, right? A lot of these older technologies that you forget about are [the technological predecessors]. The Kinect is a sophisticated webcam, right? So I’m just dying to see it. It’s Nintendo. I’ll buy it. I know I’ll buy it. They’ll talk sh*t but they’ll buy it," he added, referring to the skeptical gamers on message boards.

Epic Games has yet to officially commit to the Wii U, but the developer and Unreal Engine middleware provider has always said it'll support Nintendo when the hardware comes up to the level necessary for Unreal. Odds are we'll be seeing some Unreal-powered games or even titles directly from Epic on Wii U at some point down the line.

Now there's an odd comment, especially coming from someone employed at Epic

Given general attitudes right now, Nintendo will have a hard time selling it to their fans (either the Malstromites who have declared this thing a miscarriage, or the people who are seeing red at Op Rainfall), before people who traditionally hate Nintendo buy this (especially since multiplat 3rd party titles will give Nintendo haters no reason to buy Wii U, except maybe for graphics whores trying to get the definitive version in the time-frame that the Wii U version will be the definitive one)

Indeed, and it must be a very significant demographic for Nintendo of America to have shifted all of its resources towards catering to this type of customer.

I say the same with gears.

He's right. As frustrated as I am with Nintendo right now I will most likely buy a Wii U.

lol damn cliff. but he has always said he was a big fan of nintendo.

On the contrary, my good sirs.

I'll slobber it with love but won't buy it because I won't have money!

No I won't buy it.

I love Cliff. He is an honest, nice and sincere ass. He speaks the truth and doesn't sugar coat it.

He is 100% right!! The malstromites will buy is day 1, they need to stop BSing, the people who are mad at how OP. Rainfall is going down, will buy it. Me personally, im not mad about the whole NOA situation, but im not emotionally invested either and Wii U looks to have taken care of the problems i have had with Wii. Not a day one buy (never for any system) but will get just like WIi, GC, N64
