Ok yeah I know, I just saw a character running about with a huge sword strapped to his back taking on a giant alien type monster thing. MH I'd the first thing that popped into my head.

There's a demo for pinball? Is it out for Europe yet?

The full version seems to be available free on EU eShop

After all said and done, we have what we have. Nintendo obviously intended the Wii U to be as powerful as it is. I just can't shake that feeling that the Wii U should have been the console they should have released in 2006 :-(

I was disappointed with the wii u spec but you have to factor in the wii u is still an absolutely massive upgrade on the original wii. The wii's gpu was capable of 12gflops but the wii u is believed to be about 352 gflops. That's about 30x as powerful. The cpu is still in the region of 6x as powerful and there is a huge increase in memory capacity and disc size. Also Nintendo games are much more likely to be cartoon based using repeated textures and not attempting to simulate the real world. The gamepad is an absolutely brilliant innovation that will take gaming into new areas. Near field communication in the gamepad offers some unique possibilities with regard merchandising and adding characters via toys etc. It's a brilliant console in so many ways but what is isn't is powerful but I would say its powerful enough and its clear great games are coming that will max it out. There is a magic to Nintendo games that you rarely find on other consoles. I feel this generation all I will need is a wii u and ps4.

Imagine a Wii U version that rivals Elder scrolls as a game. I think I would explode if Capcom did that. I would imagine that it'll just be a similar product to the current version again. Not that it's a bad thing.

This comment is true, Nintendo haven't really led the most powerful machine awards since the SNES. Aft that they always concentrated on solid titles to hold their machines together.

The Wii U is fine. Just lacking in software support. That'll come though as more units are sold. And why did we all buy the Wii U in the first place, to play FIFA? I think not. To play Mario and other Nintendo franchised games. Yes indeed.

Has anyone tried the two multiplayer function using the 3DS yet? Just curious how well it worked as to wether I get it on the portable too.

As in 3DS to Wii U? Works as well as Network mode imo.
