If that were the case they wouldn't of bought Bayonetta 2 and put up the money to publish it. Bayonetta is pretty ultra violent.

Which of these games is the most "family friendly?"

Zombi U
Bayonetta 2
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Tekken Tag Tournament
Ninja Gaiden

pre ordered my wiiu ^^

Please make ARR for this ><

Pre ordered it too. For a new Hideki Kamya game I'd buy anything and on top of that Bayonetta 2 a sequel to one of my fav action games right after Power Stone. But it's really a new mario at launch and the future of Monster Hunter that turned this console from an interesting purchase to gaming enthusiasts to an absolute must-buy to anyone interested in core gaming. (asaide from shooters but I never buy those anyway) .

As a fanboy disclaimer I still will definitely buy the next ps4 too. Xbox however needs to prove itself to me.

Of all the games Bayonetta and Lost Odyssey were the only Xbox games that I liked.

I'm not stereotyping Nintendo. in fact I had a subscription to Nintendo Power until I was 18 (though I'm 30 now), what I'm going off of is the lagging sales figures of the Wii and the the fact that while it does sell okay, it sells primarily as a "family" console, not a "gaming" console. Basically what I'm saying, like the Dreamcast before it, it will be more powerful than what is currently on the market and hit first, but be under-supported by both fans and developers.

Also, whoopee that Assasin's Creed three and CoD Black ops 2 will be launch titles. CoD 3 ( for the first year it was a Wii exclusive) was a launch title for the Wii, it was loaded down with pointless motion controls (whee! paddle across the river for no reason other than to waggle the Wiimote!), it was the most underperforming CoD title besides "Big Red One"

Don't really need an external if you can upgrade the flash drive like the ps3

Really you guys?

Really?

Nintendo has enough money to last decades. I highly highly doubt the WiiU will be their downfall. That's like saying they'll be no PS4 because Sony is dead last in console sales.

And as for the casual focus, it's pretty clear they're adopting more core titles into their stream. Like Bayoneta 2 for example. As for why people are mad at Nintendo over that, why? They're the only ones willing to publish the darn thing because Sega's in too much of a financial rut. You should be happy it exists in the first place.

It's a slippery slope. 'Oh Nintendo's for casuals, they don't have hardcore games' to 'Oh that Nintendo! How dare they steal all the hardcore games!'

It's just silly.

Ya know.. SE has Dragonquest X online for the Wii (and will also be releasing it for Wii U) I wouldn't completely dismiss it right now, but I don't see it happening for over a year at the least. The limiting factor with PS3 is memory, and Wii U has more memory than the PS3, technically speaking the game could run on the system. Whether or not SE sees it as being a profitable version to build and maintain though is another thing.

On another note, when asked "Why PS3 and not PS4" Yoshida mentioned the install base of the PS3 would be much larger than the PS4 at its launch, so SE would wait a bit to see how U performs before making any decisions.

1) as far as I'm aware, regardless of how the sales are "lagging" right now, The Wii still has the highest total sales of the 3 consoles.

2) We're not talking about Wii, We're talking about Wii U. New system, new philosophy, new game library. Stop using the Wii to judge the Wii U. Just because the name is similar doesn't mean the clientele or anything else relating to is or will be similar.

Umm, dude. Take a look at the current game list. It is not in any way being under-supported. They are getting all the major franchises this time around. It's quite clear that they are no longer going to be left out of the multiplatform game club. Nintendo is seriously bending over backwards to break out of the "only for kids/family" stereotype. Hell, you can even use the damn thing to control all your media devices and use social media.
