Yeah, the question is if we'll get DKCR2 on the Wii U or on the 3DS... And considering that Zelda games always take a bit longer to develop I think they'll announce it for a 2014/early 2015 release, but it'll get postponed til 2015 holiday ^^

Cant wait to see Retros new game =)

Me neither! I mean, Monoliths new looked great, can you imagine what Retro will be able to pull off?!

Retro is a fantastic studio.. i mean, most nintendo games has been fantastic but they have still been on 'inferior' hardware.

Now they have alot more freedom and i can't wait to see what they have done with it :D
X is just the beginning :)

Can`t wait for Mario, Mario Kart, X, Retro game, Zelda footage, more Yoshi footage!

Hehe I know, and it feels goood! At least until the PS720 is unveiled ^^ then we'll be stuck with games that look like they're 5 years older than they actually are =(

Thing is.. if THATS how a 'last gen' system looks when PS720 is released.. I'm gonna be quite content with my choice anyway :P just because something newer comes out, it dosn't make the fact that something looks good less true.

Art direction is king, SMG2 looks fantastic at times.. as does Halo4, they play in different leagues but they both look visually impressive.

Oh, SMG looks great, no doubt about it, and I agree that art direction is king! While having said that, I can imagine the new systems will improve on physics and AI - and that'll definitely improve the games coming out on those systems... And what I'm fearing is that Wii U will be left out in the cold by 3rd party support because of the inferior specs, leading to lower sales...

That is indeed a possibility, but you can also look at it from another perspective.

Given that Msoft and Sony's consoles will be (a lot) more powerful, and also seeing that developers/publishers don't seem to be able to learn from the past, we will see this gen a repetition of what happened last gen with devs/publishers spending a lot of resources trying to make the best looking game to sell it.

Even with better tools (UE4 seems to go that way), that will mean higher costs. Even with game prices goig up, they will need bigger sales to make that money back. If a port/version of those games for WiiU is a viable option, they may have no option but to launch them on WiiU aswell.

But for that to happen, game development for all platforms must be the same, something that seems likely, and the sales for those games on WiiU must warrant to continue doing it.

Could be the case, I want that ND about the 3rd party lineup like now before i predict about the support going forward. If the game engines are going to be heavily physics and AI driven then the WiiU is prob. going to be left behind.
What will eventually happen though (what i think) is at some point developers are going to have so much horse-power that they will be stumped what to do with it.
Unreal engine 4 sounded adaptable when they unveiled it. Meaning that as long as the GPU is powerfull enough to push polygons you could disable alot of the heavy stuff and still run the same scene.. that is, a game can run on all platforms on a optimized version of the engine with the same assets with no extra work from the developer.
There should be no reason not to release stuff on everything at that point. If that is the case, that WiiU can run that engine, why wouldn't you release the content on that system too?
