God of War, Uncharted and Forza would be out of the question, however Gears as far as I know isn't a property of Microsoft.  It doesn't matter about Gears though as I could play that on my x360.  It's the Sony 3rd party exclusives that I am salivating over...esp the Japanese ones.

By the way, I wasn't the one who became combative by calling people clueless.

Elder scrolls

That's the plan...an even playing ground in terms of 3rd party titles.  With a year head start and the next generation system not being that drastically diffrent with each other technically; Wii U might score some 3rd party exclusives usually reserved for the other two competitors.  It all starts with AAA 3rd party exclusives to attract the broad-minded portion of the core gamers; which Nintendo is doing everything to attract.  The typical Sony or Microsoft bot won't matter as they have surely made up their mind with their bias.  It's the REAL core gamers who ENJOY GAMES REGARDLESS OF PLATFORM, that Nintendo is trying to woo.

Nice one, as that would truely attract the West.  Though I haven't really played the original one and is still shrink wrapped on my shelf.

I guess only time will tell.

I, for one, do not believe Nintendo gives a squat about swaying third-party companies into releasing multiplatform titles on the Wii U otherwise they wouldn't have built their hardware with such limited technical capacities compared to the rumored Xbox 720/PS4 and with a such different and unique controller output that will certainly turn off developers from making a worthy use of the gamepad.

I would like to see Nintendo fund Kingdom Hearts like they're doing Bayonetta, but not for the exclusivity.

No. No, I want to see Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, incorporating Disney, Square, and Nintendo properties into one game.

That'd be awfully sweet.

I can't think of many last-gen HD franchises. I assume there were PC games that could run in 720p or 1080p circa 2002-2005? I'ld imagine you would have had to have a really boss PC though.

Limited capability?  The Wii U, with the announce specs should be around 4x more capable than a PS3 or the very least 3.5x(hence the meltdowns that it isn't weaker than last gen HD systems).  Anyways, since nothing had been formally announced by Sony or Microsoft I am highly suspect about the said rumors; as you could see by the type of fanboys they have could be highly boosted!!!  I actually expect the power diffrence to be somewhere between the PS2 vs GNC vs Xbox1, .with the Wii U being the PS2 (at very worst it would be a boosted DC compared to PS2 or GCN).

eh? .. CPU and GPU specs haven't been announced, so there is no telling how it ranks up against a PS3, although the games pretty much show that atleast the GPU should be more capable
