As many have said, only time will tell on the WiiU. Name sounds iffy, but didn't we all say that when the Wii name was revealed?. 3rd party support, well if sales are strong, i can see continued support. But i reckon things will go like the Wii and the GC, bad sales of the 3rd party games which will eventually cause all the huge 3rd party games to not be released on the WiiU, and once again all the party and dance titles getting thrown onto it instead. As a way to bring in more money for them.
As long as i havn't got to use that controller to play WiiU titles, i shall be happy at least. Support for the Wii accessories for the new console is confirmed, just need titles to be developed that give us a choice of controls. Mainly 1st and 3rd party titles. Using it as an accessory, like Kinect should be for the "core" titles is the way i see it working.
Overall, this E3 for Nintendo was great. Kind of expecting a little more on the way of the 25th Anniversary of Zelda, instead of just re-releasing 2 games in 3D (Links Awakening and Ocarina of Time). But over-all, i am impressed with what Nintendo have offered us.
Now then, i think i'll need to get a TV with more HDMI ports by next year.
Big kick in the nuts if this is true.
If thats true, it is indeed a kick in the happy sack. It seems that Nintendo can't do what the other giants have done.
