I have a feeling you'll be swimming against the current here. I'm pretty sure once the reviews are up, the majority, of them will consider the game beautiful-looking, if not ALL of them.

New Super Mario Bros U doesn't have spectacular graphics by any means, but it's still a good looking game. Although, yeah, it's basically the same graphics as the Wii version, but in HD. That doesn't stop it from being a damn blast to play, though.

Yet if Nintendo went third party and this game came for the PS3 /PS4, you would wet your pants. :)

Except that there's also a ton of games exclusive to PC that you can't play on any other platform, as well. So, your post is very fanboyish, too.

Just play the system that has the games you want and be happy. No need to discredit the other systems.

Why not? So far, they've rated all of the 3D Mario Games above 90, with the majority scoring 95 or higher. IGN (and everyone in general) love 3D Mario platformers.

You need a prescription for your eyes, then. The difference between the PS3 version and 360 / Wii U is very clear.

Nope, truth for the most part.

In 99% of graphic comparisons (usually between 360 and PS3), games tend to look virtually the same for me, with maybe a very, very slight difference in saturation or textures here and there.

However, on this particular case, I think that 360 and Wii U look pretty similar, and noticeably better than the PS3 version, which looks very blurry in comparison. The PS4 version looks even better, of course, with better textures, better lighting and more effects going on.

Hell yeah. I'm seriously considering taking a day off work so I can have a long weekend to myself to play this. XD

10 times should be enough to form an opinion of the game and decide whether you want the full version or not.

That being said, having a usage limit is retarded, but still not a big issue for me.

I don't care the slightest bit about first person shooters. As a gaming genre, it just doesn't appeal to me.

That being said, I'm not blind and I can see that quite a lot of people love the Call of Duty games. Say whatever you want about Activision's greediness, their yearly COD releases, and the fact that it has the same engine since the middle ages, etc, etc, etc... but people keep consistently buying the yearly iteration of COD in the millions, and they kee...

Wii U and 3DS are pretty similar in that:

1. Both consoles had a lot of hype behind them prior to their launch.

2. Both consoles had very successful launches, where they sold the vast majority of the units shipped in their first year in the market.

3. The sales for both consoles absolutely plummeted after the launch craze died on, because both consoles endured awful game droughts, and were priced too expensively in the mind of consumers.

Ok, that one made me laugh. XD

You apparently aren't aware that Nintendo has several teams appointed to make different game franchises. The team making Mario games isn't necessarily the same team making Zelda games.

As of right now, we know absolutely jack shit about the Wii U Zelda game. Nintendo could have 200 people working on it as far as we know, or just 20.

I really don't know how you came to this conclusion about Zelda U not coming out anytime soon.

The Wonderful 101 and Zombi U are pretty closely ranked in Metacritic. The first at 78, the second at 77.

However, I think that Wonderful 101 is a much, much better game than most critics gave it credit for.

And Zombi U is far from "shit", although certainly nowhere close to Wonderful 101, in my opinion. Still, Zombi U was one of my favorite games of 2012.

VERY unlikely. It will probably look good enough, but nowhere near THIS good.

I love how people disagreed with your statement. Disagreers, have you even looked at the screenshots in the article? I have my doubts even the PS4 could run the game at that level of fidelity, and you somehow expect the Wii U to be able to achieve high-end PC graphics?

Lol. Not going to happen. Yes, the Wii U version will probably look pretty damn good, but nowhere close to this. It should look more akin to Gran Turismo 5 on the Wii U, maybe a bit better (which is a more sens...

The Wii U had insane preorder numbers as well. And it had a superb launch period, where it sold about 3 million consoles, or more, if I recall correctly. After that, sales dropped off a cliff.

And it's ironic how you point out that the 3DS has "sold amazingly", and ignore the fact that the 3DS's first year in the market was absolutely abysmal, not that different from the Wii U's.

Just saying.

Uncharted wasn't a launch game for the PS3. It came about a year after the PS3 was released.

That nitpick aside, I agree with your sentiment. I'm pretty sure the PS4 will do great in the long run, and will offer plenty of amazing games to play, and I think the Wii U will do the same, too.

In the end, there's no such thing as a "console war" except in the mind of sheepish fanboys. For Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, it's all about the p...

In that case you have virtually zero understanding of brand appeal and universal market reach and public consciousness and brand trust and stuff like that.

Allow me to elaborate. I LOVE the Infamous franchise. Infamous 2 is the only game I've platinumed on my PS3, besides Rock Band 2, and it's very likely I will pick up a PS4 the moment Infamous: Second Son releases.

However, the same month that game comes out, Nintendo will be releasing Donkey Kong C...
