In Topic: Wii U Camera Ideas Thread

On the radio, shortly before people started talking about Café, I heard that Nintendo were trying to acheive a 3D-hologram feeling by tracking players eyes. Maybe we'll see this technology sooner than I thought.

My thought is: no.
Cafe puts Sony in a tough spot. If they release a new console, they'll have to admit the PS3 being a financial disaster. If they don't, people will soon think of the PS3 as PS3 owners now see the Wii.
If Sony launch a new home console, I highly doubt they'll subsidise it like they did with the PS3. Instead, they'll have to sell it for what it costs to make. And it will have to be competitively priced from day 1. So I think that Sony may launch a console slightly more powerful than the Wii 2, but not by much. It'll be more like the PS3 compared to the Xbox 360, rather than the PS3 compared to the Wii.

In Topic: Retro Studios are working on a Wii U game

I think that they've been making games that cater very well for western audiences, games that Nintendo perhaps don't want to do themselves.
And seeing that the reason for this console to exist is to atract core players and third parties, I believe that Retro will be doing one of the following:

Nintendo GT
Sony has it, Microsoft has it and even Sega had it for the Dreamcast. You can't have a console nowadays without a serious racer with hundreds of licensed cars. In essence: a competitor to Gran Turismo. My hope is however that while being realistic, the game will contain fun and estheticly pleasing courses, rather than race tracks which consist to 99% of concrete and other grey materials.
Imagine if they'd take track layouts from other Nintendo games and make them look like real race tracks. For example you could take Rainbow road and turn it in to a mountain with tunnels and ridges everywhere, or if you'd turn Moo Moo Farm in to a rally track out in the country.

FPS
Putting it simply: An FPS that challenges that Halo, Resistance and Killzone. This could be based on an upgraded version of the excellent Metroid Prime 3-engine.
