Hence the -shock- value of such an announcement.  We're not going to see another Marvel Vs. Capcom game either.  Good or bad.

A $300 Dreamcast 2 add-on for the Xbox One that will be only able to play original Dreamcast discs, if you manage to buy them from ebay.

Sega announcing Sonic Boom patch

Flying cars, finally. And a remake of Wild Gunman.

Half-Life 3 obviously.

New Sega console and new sequels including jet set radio, sonic adventure 3, crazy taxi 4, Shenmue 3, panzer dragoon saga 2, blu Ray playback, bayonetta 3, launching holiday 2015 for $399.

Sega and Nintendo merge to become "Nintega"

Microsoft announces exit from hardware after current generation ends.

2015 becomes known as "year of the jrpg" with a slew of new games announced including chrono resurrection, final fantasy XVI, legend of dragoon: wings of Destiny, Dragon quest: heroes us version, breath of fire: rebirth, suikoden.

Sony announces ps4 price cut to $299 effective immediately, while also announcing the discontinuation of the PS Vita platform in Europe and north America.

Half Life 3 releasing on Wii U would be shocking enough, it being exclusive and Wii U turning into a steambox would cause an unimaginable online riot. I'd love to see that.

Wii U can't exist without a gamepad, the OS interface and interface of many games depends on its existence, whether it be for the second screen or the touch screen. It would be like making a Wiimote-less Wii, or a one screen DS. Every single game would have to be remade to some extent, it is not like Xbox One where games did not interact with the Kinect interface at all, every single Wii U game does interact with the Gamepad interface. it makes no sense.

Half Life U.

There are many things that could surprise me, but only one that would shock me: Nintendo announcing that they will stop making their own hardware and that they will become a software only company by 2016.
