Yeah, having a controller that is essentially the U controller but without the screen would be handy. Then you could do things like a multiplayer squad shooter that makes use of all the buttons, and the person with the U controller would be the squad leader. That player could use the screen as a bird's eye view, and…

So Four Swords won't work on the new Wii, unless you do it via the 3DS. But at that point, you could do it just as well with the current Wii.

So Nintendo is finally making a 3d Mario where the powerups are given out in classic Mario style? Good stuff.

You know, I didn't think of it before, but every one of their demos used a single 'U' controller with any additional players using wiimotes. It makes you wonder if they're going to be limited to one per console. Which, of course, would mean you couldn't do a setup like Four Swords or Crystal Chronicles. And that would…

No thanks. That was way too slow and didn't have enough room for content.

Lookouts and Automata were both much stronger premises in my opinion. Then again, this will probably appeal more to kids.

The Professor Layton series should work really well. It's all touchscreen-based. And they're great games too.

You use the dpad for the menu shortcuts a lot. You don't have to use it, but it makes switching weapons a lot more cumbersome.

Seriously EA? You're going to take a stock photo of Faulk, play with the color balance and levels a bit, and call it 'bronze'?

From the screenshot, it looks like The Gunstringer is about

You mean episode 3?

Sony is obviously already working on the PS4. Otherwise it wouldn't be ready for at least another 3 years.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is great. But avoid Metroid: Other M.

The lack of 3DS titles at launch. Even if you love Nintendo, you have to admit that the 3DS pickings are pretty slim right now.

They really should bar anybody named 'Fuck You' from posting in the first place.

Yeah. Glad to see a smart, sensible guy won the money.

That's exactly why the suit was thrown out against EA but allowed to continue against the NCAA.

I hate to say it, but I think most gamers are weak-willed. They'll never stand up en masse to something like this, and the publishers know it.

No, better to just not buy it. If they see lots of people playing it, they'll blame piracy and put more draconian DRM in their next product.

I have to assume that it is Square-Enix, not Final Fantasy, that is working on the MMO.
