Here's the most important part: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Wii U and 3DS in March.

It's kind of a bit of a bittersweet feeling coming to the end of one console's life to make way for a new one. Oh, Nintendo Wii. How exhilarated I was when I opened you for Christmas on that first year you were launched, and now here we are anticipating the release of your successor. You still have a pretty good afterlife with me though, because I haven't got The Last Story or Xenoblade Chronicles yet.

Good timing! My Wii no longer plays discs of any type, so I was hoping the WiiU would be released sooner rather than later. Out with the old, in with the new!

Supposedly you are able to transfer all games downloaded on your Wii right over to your WiiU. I expected nothing at all (it's Nintendo...), so this is amazing. Also Bayonetta 2. BAYONETTA 2.

Will probably go the $350 route. Something about points that are redeemable for games... and stands... doesn't sound bad.

Neat, always love a new generation of consoles. I myself am kinda detoured from console gaming for the time being but I appreciate it when the bar is risen.

Never played that series before but it looks pretty cool. I just got sent this video today and remember you mentioning the title in this thread. Enjoy

Anybody else besides me looking forward to a zelda HD like it shows in the tech demo?


EDIT: Apparently the Wii U won't feature playable VC and Wiiware games on the gamepad itself, I should of expected that. That would of been so awesome though, oh well, maybe someone somewhere will exploit the console and enable that feature.
