Today IGN gave Sonic Lost World a low score of like a 5 or something. Considering how they give games like Halo, COD, and Battlefield insanely high reviews and games like Zombi U a low score, and games like the Wii U version of Rayman a lower score then other ports I have grown to suspect IGN's reviews are either biased or bought out, or the fact they simply hate most Nintendo games. Your thoughts?

After watching that footage again, either the game has a very good anti aliasing or it really is 1080p. I'm betting on the latter.

It's ironic that the Wii U has the most 1080p60 games than the other next gen systems (PS4 and Xbox One), despite being the "weaker" system.

the wii u hardware should easily be able to run this game as it isn't the most graphically intensive thing, or at least it doesn't look like it (artstyle is very pretty though) 

so do you think it's a lack of optimization or do you think ninty is struggling with hd development still? 

Or do you think the game is too graphically intensive for wii u to run in native 1080p right now?

I'm assuming 

I've created a fan-made trailer of games coming to the Wii U this season and next season 2013.  Feel free to watch this video right now and let me know what some of you think.

Will people be willing to pay $300, $400, $500 for new gaming hardware? That's the question that keeps going over in my mind. I work in retail and it amazes me, people 9 times out of ten, choose the low cost option even when the low cost option is garbage. for example we have bikes that sell for $99, these bikes are trash. then we have the better models starting at $169. you can see the difference in build and quality, yet people always go for the cheaper option. Its mind boggling. Im not trying to imply wiiu is trash or that bike analogy can be directly applied to Nintendo's situation, but i think  the major factor in the majority of peoples purchases come down to price. Another question is  will people buy the software? that's the big issue with third parties. Will little timmy want to play watch dogs and cod on his new wiiu? or rather play mario 3d world?  

I am gonna be optimistic! I am gonna have FUN with my wiiu and my new wiiu games this holiday season! and I await new announcements from nintendo about future titles!

I also predict wiiu will sell over 500 trillion units and nintendo will become supreme over lord of the entire universe!1!1!!one! 

This is something I've always held back, but the recent statement about multi-threaded shadows has really got me wondering.

For those unfamiliar with them http://www.amd.com/u...graphics.aspx#3

Might the Wii U GPU have some components of a dual-graphics engine? It was made during the time where AMD was focusing on them and and some of the stats I've been seeing in games seem unexplainable otherwise.

Its seems that just like ATI's old tessellators, it didn't see much usage do to priority going to Nvidia architecture and designs that were more global. Seems it requires specific programming to properly use.

A console on the other hand is the perfect place for hardware of that nature do to the fact that all consoles of the same name will have the exact same specs.

*cough* forgot COD Ghosts*cough*hack**wheeze*

I really do not know about the rest of you, but I am very happy with the Wii U Game Pad.

One of the first things I felt when first had it in my hands was "a return to tradition, but done right"

The Pad just feels great in my hands ... it has all the buttons in all the right places ... it feels traditional to me, unlike how I felt when I first picked up a Wiimote and Nunchuck.  It felt like a return to common sense to me ... a staple ... but with a twist ... it has added functions as well ...

So when people talk about how far out an idea it was, that just seems crazy to me.  It functions as a standard controller to me ... at its very basic level, it is a traditional style controller ... it has two analog sticks positioned in the best position in my opinion .... hated the idea of the placement of the 360 sticks ... it has an excellent, not wishy washy D Pad ... 4 action buttons, 4 shoulder buttons, and start, select, and home buttons.

This configuration (with the exception of the lack of analog shoulder buttons - like the GC) can be used to play any game that came out since the days of the NES ... in its simplicity, it is versatile.  When you picked up a Wii, you got a Wiimote but if you wanted to play a lot of virtual console games, you needed a classic controller.  Now, the Wii U Game Pad is a classic controller ... you just have to wait until they release the old virtual console games for the Wii U ... but in essence, it serves that purpose.

But the pad adds enough new twists to make it modern as well ...... gyroscope, speakers, headphone jack, microphone,  Near Contact Reader, a camera, and of course, the THE TOUCH SCREEN and its Streaming Ability, Asymmetrical Gameplay, Off TV Gameplay for Wii & Wii U Games.

Because there are 100 Million Wii Systems already in homes, it makes sense not to pack a Wiimote in with the system .... people already have one!

It is backwards compatible right now ... the PS4 and XBOX 1 are not at this point.

To me, it seems like the most logical approach Nintendo could have made ... It is innovative, yet more firmly rooted in tradition than the Wii was in my opinion.  

Summary:

Everything we expected from a Nintendo system.
