    The Wii U..lmao. Was painful watching today's Nindendo pre-E3 event. The sales numbers are not going to be pretty. Like I said, I genuinely don't know which gaming audience would want it. If Sony or Microsoft would formally announce next-gen consoles already, the Wii U would literally sell nothing. We'll see soon enough. Bring on E3!

    Umm, wouldn't the target of the wii be families? Nintendo has always been a kid-oriented company.

    I haven't seen the whole thing but looking at the pro controller makes me super excited to play the next Smash Bros. on Wii U.

    Also, rumor has it that there will be no PS4 as Sony is moving to Cloud gaming via OnLive or a similar service.

    That's a huge misconception.

    In any case, the Wii U is moving away from everything that made the Wii popular.

    It is said Asphalt 7 will not be freemium but it is possible to see IAP option such as other GL games

    ? Nintendo has always been a more family oriented company. How is that a big misconception? They even censored/edited one of the mortal kombats or another similar beat em up supposedly to keep that image.

    Aka asphalt 6 pricing model.

    I think I'll pass. Never was a big fan of their racing games, firemint does it better, I think.

    I'm thinking asphalt 7 and one of their upcoming unreal games wil be showcased by them at e3. Not particularly looking forward to either, more excited about dead trigger, which madfinger will, I think, be showing off there.

    Microsoft didn't have a lot of game innovation to present, but Smart Glass I'd like to play around with, and will since it will be available on the iPad and iPhone. I wish they'd shown us lots more XBLA stuff. That's where the most creativity is these days on the platform. In any case I've still got Trials Evolution. I'm happy. :) Also I'm looking forward to trying out Wreckateer. I am not anti-Kinect and the game looks fun. And I'll be buying Dance Central 3 for sure, but I wish they'd shown us what was new in the game aside from songs.

    I'm looking forward to the WiiU myself. Nintendo in HD and with greatly improved online is a good thing IMHO. Also I think being able to play the games on the WiiU screen is going to be pretty nice. I will use that feature.

    Rumors of a new larger 3DS (3DS XL) having larger touch screen and an additional circle pad. Also WiiU pricepoint rumored to be $300-$400 (30,000 yen~$385).

    Interested to see what Nintendo will do obviously they have a lot to announce having three conferences including yesterdays Nintendo Direct presentation

    Not really that insane- they just make a few hundred parts that get randomly combined with each other. So there's over 17 million possible combinations of guns. They also have randomized stats etc.

    Pretty crazy shit so far. Not going to lie, Rayman Legends on the Wii U looks sick.

    Omg, AC3 now, please. Looks so damn good. Day one buy for sure. Can't wait for Q4 of 2012.

    Its funny, when he start talking I was thinking this sounds like Person of Interest. Then it started and I was like oh ya it is like PoI. Then it continued and I realised it IS PoI. Im so excited for it.

    Definitely one of the top games of the week.
