Mike Capps doesn't seem to think that there is a point in releasing next gen consoles. He seems to think phones will start eating into the home console market the same way they have the handheld one.

He and everyone else who claim Smart phones will overtake the gaming industry have one major flaw in their ideas: Smart phones are phones first. That means that you still need to use it as a phone. While they can game, SP's are meant to be phones plain and simple

Given what we know about the Wii U, I don't know if I should be worried about the system or not. The E3 2011 unveiling basically offered a cursory idea of where Nintendo is taking the console. I doubt Batman: Arkham City, Darksiders II, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Ninja Gaiden III, and Metro: Last Light are the only titles in the pipeline. Keep in mind, Ubisoft is possibly creating an all-new Assassin's Creed title. As for Nintendo heavily relying on third-parties to carry the Wii U, they may have decided to contribute more input for the system after seeing how that strategy for the 3DS backfired. Nintendo has been very aware of their mistakes in the past few months, so I don't think it's a stretch to think they may have re-evaluated their strategy for the Wii U. After all, Pikmin 3 could very well spearhead the launch since Miyamoto stated it's been making a lot of progress. the Wii U will not launch until after April 2012, which means Nintendo has plenty of time to effectively market the console before the release date.

I'm willing to bet the WiiU won't launch until after E3 2012

What are you even talking about, there was no mention of multiplayer in the quote? The Gameboy Advance cannot be compared to the Vita in any way, one of the reasons it failed is the Gameboy advance is worser than the GameCube's own controller so who would exactly want to use it? The Vita is better than the PS3 controller in the fact that not only does it have the controls of the PS3 controller it has got a lot more as well.

Just don't know what you're getting at.

First, Learn to use proper grammar. It's worse, not worser.
Plus, on what grounds was the GBA a worse controller? considering that all I used my GBA and Gamecube together for is to play GBA games or for something like four Swords, both instances that it had to be hardwired into the game's code to do, what makes you think devs will go instantly for building/having important features available only with Vita Usage. Your thinking is horribly flawed in that regard

This is what I'm talking about, you can't close you're eyes and expect to open them with everything fine.

Well lets see, when they still have a giantic amount of cash from the Wii and DS, I don't think that they are going to fail

I wonder why adult males find ponies sexy.

The problem with Nintendo and 3rd parties was best demonstrated by the 3DS launch

• Nintendo tries to be friends with 3rd party
• They allow 3rd Parties to shine at Launch by not having a heavy 1st party prescience
• Most 3rd Parties wanted to make a quick buck, so all we got was ports
• 3rd Parties yell at Nintendo because of poor sales and then don't make anymore games.
• Everyone complains about lack of 3rd parties for system and n o good games at launch

It either that or the N64 problem

• Nintendo releases strong 1st party game
• the 3rd party games don't sell well because of 1st party games
• 3rd Parties say Nintendo never allows us to shine and stop putting effort into new games
• Everyone whines at Nintendo for no 3rd Party Support

This how it seems to always be. Hopefully they can change this for the WiiU launch, but I'm doubtful

Also, I'm beginning to get a tad bit ticked. Everyone whines about every action of Nintendo nowdays.

I would like to combine Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. Weird?

Mario RPG fixes the Pokemon part, but with extra people on you team. Maximum people in a party: 6. But I want to add platforming to it. Here's my idea:

Platform level (World 1-1, etc.)
If you encounter enemies, RPG time starts. Mario/Leader has a sword! Yay! Moving platforms or obstacles don't count.

Boss levels (frequently happens, like 20 bosses)
At the end of platforming, you are allowed to use the sword as you would in Zelda.

I don't have time to fully explain it, so bye!

I think a Zelda and Kingdom Hearts crossover would be interesting.

I support these 2 ideas completely.
Also,a Spin on mario+pokemon: Mario and friends be hurled into battles.

Do you know how much RAM your friend's running Minecraft with? I'm sure my server's processor, hard drives, and network connection can keep up with it, but I just don't know how many players 512 MB of RAM can take. I can give it a bit more than that, but I'll run the risk of destabilizing my websites.

I just called him to check, and he said he has the same amount of RAM that he's using to run Mine craft. I was just on his server, and he said that he had actually managed to get 24 people on there while still run mostly lag free.

Wouldn't it be awsome if MW3(Modern Warefare 3) was on the Wii U?

No. Call of Duty is the one of the most milked franchise in all of history. A yearly release of game that barely changes any of the gameplay and forces people to spend  $60 for something that equates to simple DLC.  Plus, the Call of Duty games aren't even that good.
Half Life 2: Episode 3 or any other Valve game is a completely different story.

It's the Wii U News section, not the Wii U Go section. The purpose of that specific section of this forum is to provide a one-stop spot for people to check all the latest stories from both Wii U Go and Wii U Blog. David and I want to keep the actual discussions about the writing we publish in the comment sections on the actual blogs. If you want to discuss a story, click the link at the bottom of it and leave a comment where it was first published.

If you strongly feel the need to discuss an article on the forums, you are always free to start a new topic in the Wii U section about it. That's totally cool with us, but the purpose of the Wii U News section itself is strictly to serve as a hub for the two blogs associated with the forums - one, as a convenience so people don't need to check both blogs; and two, because a surprising number of members here forgot about Wii U Go's existence, which is just a little unfair considering that I own and manage the forums they enjoy so much.

Hey, I still visit Wii U Go.
Anyways, I agree with Feldo here Ninjashock. If you want to discuss a piece of news, it makes more sense to start up a new topic about in the actual Wii-U section or to go to the blog then it does to comment on the article in the News article. The WiiU news section is designed to be hub for the news for convenience, not as a substitute for the blog in question. If It was Meant to be a substitute, then Why would Feld0 be running WiiUGo at the same time?

I'd be happy to pay ~$400 but not over $500. Not too bad.

Keep in mind this stuff is normally fake. Plus, this is coming from the same people who think paper zelda exists

Notice how I said, "It has kill streaks for the first time in the CoD series, customization on classes for your weapons." I didn't say that CoD 4 was the first game that had lots of customization options. I said that CoD 4 was the first CoD game to include customization, like the one in CoD 4.  Furthermore, perks aren't over rated. It's what makes the CoD games funner, in my opinion. Would you light to reload a M249 Saw LMG for 20 seconds, or five? A perk for that would be sleight of hand, which reloads a gun faster. Secondly I didn't say that zombie game in WaW, was the first zombie game ever. In fact, the zombie mode in WaW isn't even a full zombie game, like Left 4 Dead. All it is, is a fun bonus when you beat the campaign.
Also, I wouldn't see anybody Quick scoping, outside of CoD games. It would be pretty pointless.

Last time I checked it's not a DLC pack.

Lets see, MW2 picked up where CoD 4, left off in the campaign.
Black Ops picked up where WaW, left off in the campaign.
Then on November eight, MW3 will pick up where MW2 left off.

The only game that I see is the same game over and over again, is the NFL,NBA,NHL games.

You still don't get it. Besides your horrible english( it's more fun, not funner) Considering that no one that I know in Person plays the single player, It is a copy paste job in the multiplayer. You say that they added new modes and guns and that makes it worth it's $60 price tag, when Valve basically gives these to players for free. Plus, being the first in a series to innovate isn't good. You want to be the first in an industry to innovate. your just backing up your statement with  your opinion, while I have solid facts and the opinion of several actual gamers that I know in person.

No.
Call of Duty is a copy and paste job.
Aside from the campaign and stupid online full of 9 year old kids, what is so different about it?
Yeah, yeah, you get new guns, but what about something more innovative, something different from all the other FPS?
It's like freaking Street Fighter 4, in which it's the same thing, and has nothing new but a few characters and a new overpowered Ryu. Only CoD isn't DLC. What's so special about CoD that it makes it different from Medal of Honor, Battle field, all other fps out there. I mean, at least Legend of Zelda brings new dungeons, characters, gameplay, items, villains etc.
MW is VERY overrated, I've played it, played Black Ops, I think it's the same pony dung over and over and over AGAIN. Few tweaks here and there, more ways to cheat, few maps, and new maps which you have to pay for. It's just, ugh. But to each his own, I guess.

see, Blade agrees with me

I was reading these two articles one of them old on Eurogamer and another that's fairly new on the BBC news website (not exactly known for gaming).

The BBC news article was that gaming was becoming stale because the biggest games are just a list of sequels:

Gears of War 3, Far Cry 3, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3 and Battlefield 3. Even with Nintendo 3DS we're getting Mario Kart, Super mario, Animal Crossing all of which we've seen before. On the Wii Nintendo won't even risk releasing original titles on the Wii (Xenoblade/Pandora's Tower) so they're playing it safe with Zelda and Kirby two names they know people will snap up without question.

- Quote from Evolution studios boss.

However they're have been some original titles, LA Noire, Heavy Rain, Heroes of Ruin and Steel Diver but they are few and far between.

Thoughts?

Well first one has to decide what destroying gaming means. If you mean outright driving down sales and cutting the revenue, then Sequels don't destroy gaming, often because the sequel can out do the original game in question(IE Okami-Okamiden). If you mean that the sequels are killing innovation are causing this industry to begin to stagnate, then yes, I would agree with that, but only partially.

Also, it depends upon the developer. If it's someone like Activision who makes a game just for the point of Money, then the sequel is made just for that purpose. If it's a Company like Valve, they often believe that a Sequel should not be made unless they can provide enough new mechanics to completely form a new game. the only exception to this was Left4Dead 2, which was only made into a full game because Valve realized that most of the planned ideas for DLC for the original game would be to big to deliver just as DLC. Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve, even went on record saying he was against the idea of another sequel so soon.

My opinion, and one that's shared by most of my friends, is that Sequels only ruin gaming if there is little to no difference between the sequel and the original game. The innovations between most of the Call of Duty games is next to non-existent, So I believe that they are killing innovation by causing most developers to try to capitalize on that success by creating copies of Call of Duty.

However, if the game makes signifigant changes from the original and/or expands/add more concepts that fit right in there with the core central mechanic, then I believe that the game is actually helping the industry. A great example of this would be Portal-Portal 2. the sequel keeps the games central mechanic of a portal gun intact, but it adds several new mechanics that enhance and expand upon the basic gameplay mechanic.

Then we have the games such as Zelda and Mario. These games keep the same basic mechanic and alter it enough to make it different, but stop there. My theory behind this is that they want to keep the series fresh and unique, but they also are somewhat forced to keep the basic mechanics from the games that the series is regarded from. the only recent game from Nintendo that actually got rid of the basic mechanics of the titles series was Kirby's Epic Yarn, which was never designed to be a Kirby game in the first place.

In short, Sequels only kill the industry if the changes rarely occur or if the gameplay of the sequel is identical(with a few minor tweaks such as guns you can use and multiplayer components) to the original.

Just my 2 cents

Welcome to the new OWUG&TT. Each game is categorized by which genre it belongs to. Each Genre folder had 3 Tiers: CONFIRMED, which is self exploratory; UNCONFIRMED, which is the game is rumored to be in the works and has been hinted at, but no actual confirmation; and SPECULATION, which is where the game is thought of. Any games that don't have a topic are fair game to be made into one, so go and do so if you like. Any questions can either be adressed to me via PM or just reply down below.
