Wow. They sound butthurt.
Personally, I'd rather purchase Super Mario Bros-anything than CoD as well.

Me too. I feel if you buy A Wii U for COD, then you are gaming wrong IMO.

ok im 32 years old, i think a lot of members here should be 29+. so for those of us that have owned a nes and snes, and actually know of the good days when the nintendo didnt suck. i ask you this:
many people from my era, absolutely hated anything and everything released by nintendo after the snes (this goes for me as well). personally i dont know anybody from my era (28+) in real life that liked the ultra 64, gamecube, wii or now the wiiu.
that being said, even though i dont play on nintendo consoles they do make a good zelda and mario game once in a while. not that i would buy a nintendo system for 1 or 2 games, but at least there will be 2 to 4 good games during the hardwares lifecycle.
that all being said, i still dont get how nintendo still hasnt gone out of business with all their bad business practices since after the snes days. monster hunter and their handhels still make them money somehow. somehow, but damn nintendo has been so bad these past close to 20 years its ridiculous. at leas they still have loyal fans willing to buy their products, they lost me a long LONG time ago.

I'm just a wee bit older & really enjoyed the N64(SM64. Banjo Kazooie, Mace, Killer Instinct Gold, Mishief Makers, Blastcorps, Zelda, Mystical Goemon, etc.) & Gamecube(Star Wars RS, P.N.04. RE4. Soul Calibur 2, Mario, Metal Gear Solid: TS, Starfox Adv. etc.).
The Big N seem to be happy with their decisions, so I personally don't see them changing. Their 3rd party support seems to have taken a hit & they don't seem to really be bothered by this, but time will tell if this changes or not.

I am 34. I liked N64. It was Nintendo's last powerhouse console. I was about 17 or 19 when I gave up on Mario and Zelda. I grew up, those games didn't. I don't feel the need or desire to keep playing the same game recycled over and over for years. That's just me.
I'm with Ddrizle. Nintendo is happy with their decisions, but I don't think they should have paraded the system as a core gamer system and still keep the cute look and feel as if it was a toy.

Maybe I missed it somewhere in this thread, but I am surprised that there is no mention of Lego City Undercover.
Nothing like any of the other lego games, well except for the Lego of course. It's a lot of fun and there is a stupendous amount to do. My wife finished it a few days ago after 25 hours but was still only 35% through the game's collectibles and sub-missions. I'm running far behind that myself.
Nor do the side missions and special block hunts feel forced or a chore to do - it really is fun all the way through. Good humour, lots going on and plenty of variety.
EDIT: Video changed as the site update broke my link
It also has so many nods to other games and films that it's a marvel they managed to fit them all in...

It is indeed, and the humour in the game itself is so much more engaging. Okay, there are quite a lot of cheesy laughs in there too, but hey.
I like how the NPCs try and jump out of the way of your madly careening car/trike/truck/Tyranasaurus/push-bike...etc., and inadvertantly knock themselves out by going into a roll and faceplanting against a wall
Kids will love it and adults too.
Plenty of customisation options for the main character groups too.
No MP for this, which is odd. Maybe it'll follow at some point.

As it stands, EA doesn't have interest in the Wii U and Nintendo isn't focused on 3rd parties. Just goes to show that, as of right now, statements made from both companies were false, but the gaming world (world in general) is filled with that. Who knows, maybe time will correct this for both companies.
Nintendo's pre-E3 announcement and E3 games presence should be interesting, at least, that is my hope.
