hmm i wouldn't be surprised if the quality would be better.

It's probably be optional for most games and necessary for Monter Hunter

It's optional for Monster Hunter as well.

Also, the add-on isn't that big. It's thick, but not unwieldy so, and it's about as wide as the PSP or Vita. All reports say that it's very comfortable as well.

It'll be way better. The PS3 came out years ago.

If Nintendo's going for a next-gen leap, sure. However, they might pull another Wii and release a console that's only slightly above the current-gen consoles. It's best to expect PS3 graphics, maybe with with better framerates, textures, and AA to avoid being disappointed.

We can hopefully expect games that could benefit with the extra added space to have revolutionary gameplay with long levels and the like that doesn't make them CoD examples. At least we can all agree that Nintendo has the most innovative ideas when it comes down to different genres.

Thats true, i wouldnt be surprised, its gonna be quite an eye opener when Nintendo's new games roll out for this. One thing, CoD is getting old and sorta the same thing over and over again, just with tiny specs added. "OMG AC130 OVERHEAD!!!!" *yawn* ehh, ill pass.

Games need originality besides little tiny addons. Thats what some of the other game systems are starting to lack a bit.

Pokemon is much worse than  CoD in the area!

[spoiler]According to CoDudebros that hate Pokemon.[/spoiler]

Now get back on topic using Pokemon as a springboard! Also, do you think that 3DS will get CoD? DS did, so I think 3DS will.

I'll be honest. It'd be nice if they gave the 3DS one game.

ONE. GAME.

When their appeal is supposed to be "you, the hardcore gamer," they darn well better be.

They pump out one for each console CoD game usually, so I'd imagine they would.

Nintendo has survived on first-party series for all of its other genres so far; I say Nintendo needs to get on board with the shooter genre as well. And not on-rails shooters like Sin & Punishment and the strange amalgam of genres that is Star Fox, I mean modern multiplayer-worthy shooters. Kid Icarus is kinda going this route, and it certainly looks good so far, but it's so very different than the big online shooters like CoD, Gears, and TF2 that it's not competing for the same kinds of players.

Geist, but executed well this time. The body switching mechanic worked pretty well in the multiplayer imo. Just the controls sucked.

Console or handheld though?

It's Nintendo; make a Smash Bros-worthy infinite game franchise out of it and they can eventually have it on BOTH. I'm not talking about a one-time thing like, well, the first Geist, I'm talking about a Mario-Pokemon-Zelda-Kirby-level series.

Tales of the Abyss 3DS has been dated for release this February 14, 2012.

Sadly, they can't. They would have to scrap Wii U, go with a traditional controller, wait 1-2 more years, and go loss-leading to get the 10x jump they need. It's not feasible. Even Sony and Microsoft wouldn't be able to get that 10x jump next year easily, if at all. Best case scenario is that it ends up in a Dreamcast situation power-wise compared to the other consoles.

Though, since the online will be poop, it really doesn't matter.

Fuck no. We have enough of those. Handhelds don't really appeal to that audience, Wii U is sure to get flooded with them by third-parties, and whatever they make will be completely overshadowed by companies that won't vagina-y out. And, again, Nintendo's online is fried poop.

Supposedly they're working on different online for WiiU or something

Oh boy.

[DededeCloneChris]

Oh boy.

Hey, the WiiU can now beat people at Jeopardy. I'm sure they'll surprise us.
