The problem with this article, besides being strangely long for a point that could be summed up in one sentence, is that Nintendo already has an audience and that audience wants Nintendo franchises. Nintendo has many skilled developers but not an infinite amount. New ips would inevitably equal neglect for the old ones. As everyone knows, people buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games. How would NOT making the games fans want help them?
I agree a new ip would be nice, but they...
He's that guy? If I were reviewing a high profile game I probably wouldn't have skipped the tutorial.
I am a bit worried about the graphics. I hope they don't try to do anything fancy and mess them up.
@Ezz2013
You just successfully pointed out the graphical flaws of a game in pre alpha.
I know your point wasn't that this game will look this bad when it launches, just that fanboys are bragging about things they really shouldn't be bragging about, and I agree with you. I've seen some calling it the best console graphics "evar". Which... is not accurate.
I expect these problems will be fixed by the time the game launches. Such as...
I doubt the Monolith Soft game will be vaporware. There's just no way Nintendo would let them get away with it. The Wii U NEEDS that game. Also from the look of the teaser trailer it seems pretty far along. A lot further than say The Last Guardian trailer.

I agree with you about the multiplats. Even the Suda51 game won't be coming to the Wii U. C'mon Nintendo, buy third party devs some muffins or something, geez.
I had the opposite feeling about the graphics. For some reason I had this idea in my head that graphic intensive Wii U games would be super jaggy. I was pretty darn surprised that Monolith Soft's new game looks good and jaggy free.
I was thinking the same... but it is $10 bucks cheaper. I'll wait to see how good it looks closer to launch.
I really hope it's not an MMO. Online co-op? Heck yeah, sign me up. But I want a good single player story too.
My bad, I thought that was against N4G's submission guidelines.
Edit: Specifically this part:
"Story Title
This should always be the same as the title of the story you link to."
Edit 2: Sorry, I totally sound like a d*ck.
Wow... I knew people on N4G hated Capcom but you guys really hate Capcom.
Sorry but I think I'll be picking this game up :-/. I didn't play the 3DS version and playing an old school style Resident Evil on my TV again sounds like fun.
This is not the correct title for this article. The article is titled: "It's not iMiiverse, but it's close: Nintendo details social network improvements with promise."
Haha, yes, bills are paid. I had some left over Amazon gift card money too. It's just that she got me some games for Christmas that I still haven't gotten to.
I had been debating for awhile on whether or not to get this game and I'm actually kind of glad this trailer pushed me over the edge.

If my name were actually John you would have blown my mind :)
Well, Tearaway still looks awesome.
Just like the headphone jack, the article also says that the 2x ethernet ports will just be for the dev kits
Braid is right, the Witcher 2 looks great. C'mon guys, you have to admit that.
Braid, in that video you linked the framerate doesn't look that great, but I don't know if that was just the version they used or what. I would say the vistas and lighting are definitely comparable.
Honestly I think the new Monolith game's graphics need some work. Pop in for the grass for one thing. It looks like the same grass as the Wii's Xenoblade so maybe they just ...
I honestly did not expect games on the Wii U to look this good.
I think he said people who go to E3 can try them.
I hoped they still saved some games for the actual E3. They'll be overshadowed by the next Xbox and PlayStation otherwise.
That lighting in the one with Link, Tetra and the lady with the pot on her head looks pretty good.
These screens look great. I was hoping for an HD remake but I wasn't actually expecting them to go all out.
I agree. This is silly. I doubt people who dislike Nintendo games are impressed by the Nintendo games the Wii U is getting.
It's like going up to someone who hates chocolate, eating some fudge, and saying, "bet you wish you had some of this chocolate, chocolate hater."
