I want this remade for the Wii U. Perfection.

Welcome Dustin!

You made a good choice when you decided on a Wii U over the other consoles. My roots also lie within the old days of the NES. And you teach!That's awesome. I look forward to see you around!

Again, welcome to the forums!

No they will be fine what there challenge is attracting hardcore gamers.

I agree with you. Nintendo has never had a problem attracting the casual gamers. On the contrary, the core gamers market has been suffering due to lack of 3rd party support. Sure the 3DS is booming with excellent 3rd party support now, but this wasn't always the case with the Wii. The Wii U, having the capabilities that it has, I think has a better chance at grasping the core gamers market and succeeding where it's predecessor failed. It will be interesting how this all plays out but lets look at what we know about the Wii U and its launch titles so far:

Nintendo Land - A very casual gamer friendly variety of games. Nothing that can be taken too seriously.
New Super Mario Bros. U - Another casual gamer staple. Mario is a timeless plumber.
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition - Bad ass game just got better. This is a great title to attract core gamers.
Ninja Gaiden 3 - Another great slice and dice ninja speedy game made for mature audiences.

There are ofcourse many more titles but this is just a brief example of how launch date software can affect the first impressions of a console. This can usually determine who will be attracted to the new console. The Wii U ofcourse carries it's own great specs that also simply make life easier for the average person. I personally feel this is the big break Nintendo needs to get back their core gamers.

lol wow, that picture IS pretty funny. I actually am waiting til Naruto AND Bleach both end to read them. The only exception I've made to reading unfinished manga is "Berserk". It is absolutely an amazing story. A bit lengthy as well, about 36 volumes in Japan, 35 here in America and somewhere around 350 chapters or so. I suggest anyone who likes great character development, story plot, romance and violence to read this manga. The anime is a good introduction the manga, so I suggest watching that as well (although it's a bit low budget xD).

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the ripples on that guard's poncho? I hate that there is little information on this game at the moment but hopefully we'll be seeing this on the Wii U. I'm sure it can handle this kind of realism. Did anyone else notice the transition between him crouch-walking and the crawl? FRIGGIN FLAWLESS @_@.

I also don't doubt this being on the Wii U. Kojima takes a liking to Nintendo and their innovative ideas. I already see possibilities in using the Wii U gamepad with Ground Zeroes. I mean imagine using the Wii U game pad to make Big Boss control some kind of remote machine (similar to the mark II or a nikita missile) and directing its route via gamepad. That would be beast. Mind you, this was just a stray thought from a fan of the series. Imagine what a developer can come up with. I CANT WAIT!! ><!!

wow..I'm sure feeling the love. Looks like I have a bit of editing to do. I should probably be more specific with my interests n fandoms but I can see this is all going to be very interesting. Thank you guys for the warm welcome =]

Hey guys!

I'm new to the forums...can't wait til the Wii U is released! Hope to have many heated debates with you all!
