This was a really good interview. Not going to lie, I am very interested in getting a WiiU, but I am just unwilling to spend $350+ to do so.

I know at some point I will have one (Just chedk the sig, I own every home console except a WiiU), possibly next holiday season or maybe even in the summer. Their level of high quality games recently is uncontested. How could you not love Nintendo when they are against the ropes? When dominating with the Wii it seemed like they just sat back and cruised. Now it seems they are working hard to provide content to drive sales.

I love that.

I just hope the level of quality is maintainable. They have a lot of games coming to wiiu next year.  I'm not worried about Zelda U and Xenoblade Chronicles X but if games like Star Fox, Devil's Third, and Splatoon end up being mid 8's or higher meta critic i'm going to be amazed. Not because I don't have high hopes for these games but just because of the respect level i will have for the quality and quantity of releases.

I pray Starfox is one rails, similar to StarFox 64. I don't want anything like Star Fox Adventures.

To this day I still remember the MacBeth mission and the train driver saying "Step on the gas". I say that sometimes when stuck in traffic.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

I liked how he didn't care to say his competitors names.

Well he isn't really wrong. PS4 and XB1 are almost interchangeable to an extent, while the Wii U is completely different.

Nope, not ofificial cause I doubt it'll be rated E for everyone lol. You are right though, exclusives is the shining point of the Wii U, and with those scores it'd be weird if they didn't brag a bit about it.

Nintendo and thier exclusives are just, awesome.

Bayonetta, Devil's Third. I like seeing 3rd party exclusives especially if they are more towards the core gamer! :D

Yes me to.. I do not play much other than Nintendo games, but I would love to see WiiU become more "complete"

But i also think that when WiiU (hopefully very soon) hit 10 mill.. (and Nintendo issent going anywhere) companys like ea.. will start suporting more.. to much money to be made.. Devolopers know that there must be a "vacum" for car, sports and so games.. easy money :)

Would not be suprised if There are some "where back.. and offcourse we love Nintendo" statements at E3

I would be nice to see EA back and at least providing sports games for the Wiiu. Fifa and Golf to me are no brainers for the wiiu. They will likely talk about how it took some extra time to decide how to augment the wiiu's unique capabilties the best lol
