I preordered a PS4 yesterday on Amazon.  I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep the preorder though.  It depends on financials and if I can pull out some gift cards to drop the price a bit.   I'm also planning to get the Eye for the PS4 as I've already got 2 Move controllers.  So I would need that extra $69 or whatever the price is.

I was also one that had some tears when I saw that Megaman was announced.  I laughed at myself afterwards because it's kind of a stupid thing to get teared up about.  Still, even more excited for this game now and will probably get a Wii U around the time it is released.

Also, are 101 Dalmatians the Pikmin of Disney?
Nope, because you can only control 100 pikmin at a time.  So they're missing one. :P

I know there was a FF announced a long time ago that still haven't come out. Of that was Wii U exclusive I could see people caring enough to cry about it.
You are thinking of Final Fantasy Versus XIII which was the one most western fans were excited for based on snippets of gameplay that were seen.  Rumor is that Versus XIII has been changed to XV and will be exclusive to the PS4.  It is believe that is the FF that Square mentioned at the Sony PS4 reveal conference.

And yes, if that was exclusive to Wii U, the internet would explode.

Well it depends.  What games out there were critical darlings with a small but vocal fanbase and did not live up to sale expectations (meaning it was expected to reach 2 million sales and only reached 1 million, not like Tomb Raid where it reached over 5 million and that still was not enough)?

It seems both of these games they've grabbed were in need of help.  Bayonetta 2 probably is not made without Nintendo jumping in to publish it.  Sonic has been on some rough times recently and this game may not get made without their moneyhat either (also, there could be another Sonic in the works for PS4/720 a la Wii getting Colors and PS360 getting the wereSonic game).

yeah but this one is pretty easy to destroy...
More like we are all just too good at making it look so easy.

See, Electronic Arts, this is what happens when you actually put some effort into your titles.

To be fair, Madden and FIFA for Wii U were high quality products. I'm pretty sure I gave FIFA a 9.5 for the site, and I still play that game to this day. Not to mention Need For Speed: Most Wanted, which is better on Wii U than on any other platform. I don't like EA very much these day either, but you can't deny that they've put effort into the few Wii U projects they have released.
Do you mean besides the fact that they released Mass Effect 3 at the same time they released the Mass Effect Trilogy on every other platform?

Every single game EA has released for the Wii U has been a delayed release(in comparison to other platforms). What kind of sales were they really expecting from these games? Most homes are multi-console and anyone who really wanted said games already got them on another platform. They had to know sales were going to be low.
Yep, which is why it's all just an excuse.  It's a way they can justify it without saying they hate Nintendo for not letting them run the Nintendo Network.

I do believe PowerPC cores are more powerful than x86 cores.  The problem is the fact that the Wii U has 3 while the PS4 has 8.  The multitasking on the PS4 will be amazing I think.

If I didn't have all these on PS3 already, I'd probably bite.

I think I have 1800 Wii points left.  I haven't bought anything on the Wii in about 3 years.  Any suggestions on how to spend those points?

I think if it actually gets made, it will be something I'll check out.  I'm surprised they have well over 1000 donators already and almost at 2000 as I type this.  So at least some people are excited by this to think Denis still has it in him to make a good game or there are at least 2000 suckers out there who are getting scammed.

I'm in the wait and see approach.  If this was on Kickstarter or another reputable crowdfunding site, I might be more inclined to donate.  Since it is direct through Precursor Games, they pretty much are taking a collection tin and going to the streets of the internet and asking for money without any type of recourse if they fail.  It's free money to them basically.

13
The sad thing is, the only reason this is news is because the internet overreacted to a misunderstanding.  This announcement is just stating who will host the event they already announced.

14
Exactly, no more sales data (they likely don't want to mention it much anyways since it's horrible).  So all we will get are the games.  Though it'll still move slow because Miyamoto doesn't speak English and Reggie is too deliberately slow in his speeches.   He puts so many pauses in there, I'd say they could fit 5 more game announcements into this presentation just with him talking normally.

15
I find it interesting that they already have over 700 backers.  I guess there are people out there and just like to give away money.

16
I agree with Mop it up.  Get out of there and leave no footprints behind.

I'm talking about trading in your old console and games towards a discounted purchase of the new hardware; similar to what GameStop does, but officially through Microsoft and Sony's websites.
I don't think they'd do it.  Knowing Sony, they still want people to be buying PS3s and their games while also buying PS4s and the games it gets.  It's how they've done it every generation.  Sony is probably the best of all console makers at continuing to support the previous generation hardware after the new gen has started.

To add other consoles since you are looking for one, the PS3 allows 2 activated consoles per digital purchase.  So purchases are tied to an account.  Sony has announced that PS4 will not be able to play any games made for the PS3 though.  So watch out there.  I believe there are five Harvest Moon games available for it.

I know 360 is also account based, but since I don't have one, I don't know much past that.  I have a feeling the next Xbox will also not be backwards compatible, though they haven't announced either way.

3DS games so far are not allowed to be played on anything but your current 3DS.  Wii/Wii U and 3DS are not cross compatible.  I believe you can go into Wii mode on the Wii U and go into the Wii Shop Channel and buy Wii games there.  A majority of them are still for sale.

Sounds like they pushed a message to internet connected Wii's letting their owners know about the Wii U and how it is a new system and not an add on and how they should buy it.  Is this a result of Bill's influence? :P

20
I know its a bit sneaky, but i'm surprised just to fill the start of the Wii U's life they didn't make HD remakes. Certain games on the Dolphin look amazing.
tbh I want them to basically roll out the nintendo selects games as eshop titles.
I'd probably be a sucker and buy those, as long as they were $20 or hopefully less.

Different generations need different videogame icons to identify with.  Right now for example kids all over Angry Birds and part of that is that that's THEIR game.  It isn't their parents' game, it's for them.  Every generation wants their own icons in all forms of entertainment.

Indeed. That is why my 7 year old cousin can tell you who Woody and Buzz are but wouldn't have a clue who the hell Mickey Mouse is.
That just tells me your cousin's parents only showed him Toy Story (possibly 1-3) and he's never been to Disneyland.  My 3 year old son knows Mickey, Donald, Buzz, Woody, Simba, Wreck-It-Ralph, Merida, Lightning McQueen, Mater, Goofy, etc.

My son also loves trains and drawing and playing piano and hitting baseballs and basketball and football.  Gotta give them variety for them to figure out what they like.

22
I have a distinct feeling that Sony has been planning for this next gen longer then both Nintendo and Microsoft.
It's felt that way.  They announced at seemingly the right time (Nintendo announced over a year before the system released and MS has been said to be scrambling to put together a presentation, even delaying it a month from the original date they were going to use).  They seem to have software ready for it and they are not requiring an always-on internet connection for it to work.  I think MS wishes they could wait until 2014 to release their system, but feel it'll be too late.  Nintendo launched possibly too early but since the system is less powerful than the other two, they had to do it.

23
11 mainline games, 2 DS remakes (re-makes of the 1st and 3rd games), and 4 Satellaview "episodes" (each one containing 1 map).
Where did you read this?  Do you trust them?  Did you verify that they did not make a mistake? :P

I got an extra $2 in Wii U account. Which tour should I buy?
The one of the NWR offices.  I wanna know what they look like.

Sounds like 2K games is also joining the E3 is not important bandwagon. Not really sure it means anything, but they aren't even having any show floor presence.
