Quite curious why this wasn't shown at Nintendo's conference, but this is good news for WiiU.

Theres a few reasons.

Apparently Gearbox were going to show Aliens Colonal Marines, but they weren't happy with the quality of the video presentation prepared for the conference.

Secondly, jealousy over this decision by Nintendo choosing Aliens maybe.

Thirdly, perhaps the Wii U version isn't ready to be shown yet.


I didn't know about what Gearbox was doing, but that is a bit surprising, why not try to have both? :S

Gearbox?  How about Borderlands 2 as a surprise?

YAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's Oniyide when you need to tell him "I told you so!"


you dont have to tell me nothing, i never said it wouldnt come out, or it would come out. I did say i could care less since ill be getting this on PS3 regardless.

I provided the link. I said it was crazy to think it wouldn't be released, you didn't agree nor disagree, but your failure to give an opinion was shady. And your defense of no mention of big games like BOII was so off.

So yeah, I do say I told you so, since you were the one saying I was nuts.

@ritchardhutnik. A console is not necessarily a home console. The DS is a portable console. However, you are right that angry birds sells gangbusters on something that is not a console, not even a portable one, but a tablet/smartphone. So though you're ultimately right, it's misleading to say that portables can't be consoles. Just wanted to clarify.

Ok.  Well, Angry Birds didn't make a jump over to the home consoles in a meaningful and significant way salewise, so I hadn't been thinking of that.  Well, so long as it is clarified what context I am talking about, then I think things are set.

Oh my god. I am so sorry to hear this. Truly tragic news that another console is tainted by this franchise.

Forums like this survive posts trolling about franchises people hate, so I would expect that a console can survive it being tainted by a franchise that sells as much as Call of Duty.

I'm not declaring doomed but my jimmies get rustled when I see that thing branch out.

I know for me and my friends at least, having Borderlands 2 would've made us all very happy :D

Well I say that from a business wearing hat for Nintendo approach.  It would be another thing to get core gamers excited.  I didn't connect Aliens to Gearbox for some reason, but I guess my mind is on Borderlands.  Will see if I can even get it.  Borderlands 2 is the sequel to my favorite home console game this generation.  It should be on my list to get sometime.  I am just low on cash in a serious way.  Anyhow, will see.  Would make sense, just as Bioshock Infinite, for the Wii U to get these.

oh boy here we go



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

i only give opinions on things i care about and effect me. COD on Wii U doesnt so i gave no opinion.

However, what i did disagree with was when you were stating that third party support hinged on Wii U getting COD, which makes little sense since COD was on Wii from day one and it didnt help it at all. If anything I think AC and AC shows it more than COD since those two franchises were never on the WIi.

CoD is dead to me, AC is far more interesting as Nintendo fanboy xD

@Aielyn: There are 2 things to consider:

1- The sales of Just Dance will be determined by the sales of WiiU. How many consoles will Nintendo sell?

2-The PS3 and Xbox versions of Just Dance cost more than the Wii version. The WiiU version will probably the same as the HD versions. Will people buy that instead of the cheaper Wii version, given that they already have the console?


where are you getting your info from?? THE PS3 version of Just Dance is a straight port of the Wii one, just with 720 HD. 360 is probably a different story, but even then these games are cheap as hell to make.
