I really don't think Nintendo is under a lot of pressure. That's just my opinion. Nintendo has danced to the beat of its own drum since the days of the N64 and has done just fine and the Wii is the 3rd best selling home console next to the PS2 and PSone. Nintendo has never really catered to hardcore gamer's...ever. They always catered to Nintendo fans. Yeah the "kiddy" image can spoil it for the people who only play GTA and Madden. I don't really give a damn about half the crap that comes out on other systems. Most my favorite franchises are Nintendo based anyways. So I will agree that they need to dig deep into their IP pool and really give some great games, much much more than what we saw on the Wii. Also if the Wii U doesn't get every 3rd party game the 360 or PS3 gets doesn't spell doom and gloom. There will be lots of exclusive 3rd party games thanks to the GamePad. The Wii U will have at least a year or 2 head start on the 720 and who knows how long on the PS4. I don't foresee those being the generational leap in difference like we see between the 360/PS3/Wii - I can see it being a little more subtle like the GC/PS2/XBOX. I think in next gen both Microsoft and Sony are going to step back and say they need something that's not a graphic power house, but something to offer people a great way to play games.

In the end we will have to wait and see. Generally I've always bought a Nintendo system to play Nintendo games...not the others so much..they are just added bonuses and lessens the chance of having to own a 2nd console. Before Nintendo I bought all the Sega Consoles...because I wanted to play all the Sega games. Honestly can you say people buy the PS3 or 360 because they are die hard fans like Nintendo fans are? I never heard someone say they love Microsoft games....so I'm buying an xbox...face it...they don't have 1st party like Nintendo does. Give Nintendo even 1/3rd of the same 3rd party games and some exclusives...and they will do great. So far if the launch is any indicator...I think they will do just fine.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high just yet. I don't trust the source, maybe it's just me but idk...sounds pretty fishy. Almost too good to be true.

Maybe not too good to be true, but if Nintendo had this much established, I'm sure we would have had/will be having some sort of revelation about it by now/soon. This all sounds so exaggerated. Meep.

I was born with it...

dUstin puts emphasis on the "U" in Wii U, dUh.

I'm a Christian, but I believe in survival of the fittest.

Why must we define gamers?

I'm highly doubt this movie will be CGI. For something this big they would definitely want to go with live action. I just hope that the movie can capture the Metal Gear feel, which is not a heavily actiony style but more of a story driven one.

I have a feeling it will be butchered though. I'll still be there at midnight anyway.

The American version is different, look:

At least looks better than the European version.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that Nintendo is going after CryTek for their engine to use for one of their games.
Although if anything, I think they are just trying to convince them to develop a third-party game for the Wii U.

But, what I'm sure most of us want is a first-party Nintendo game running on the CryEngine. Personally, I want to see it on Metriod.

All I can do after watching this is just sit there with my mouth open. This looks incredible.
