Or, with how EA is regarded at the moment, they should market the Wii U as 100% EA Free Now that'd get sales.

No, I just can tell based on what they said that this isn't what's going to happen :p

Why shouldn't it have exclusives? They're not trying to make one unified device with different SKUs. They're just making it so their handheld and their console have similar architecture to allow for a uniformity in accounts/connectivity, and to make it easier for the developers. I will be very, very, very, very surprised if all Nintendo handheld games can suddenly work on the home console due to this.

It's not that the consoles would be the same, just built on the same architecture and running the same OS. They will still be different consoles, not one, and they will still have exclusive games on both. The idea of this is for ease for the developers and for a uniformity in user accounts. Games will not be released on both unless the developer chooses to. This just means that games can share assets, engines etc. between both with very little issues. Think of it like iOS. iPhone and iPad are two different devices with different specs but run the same OS and have the same architecture. There's software exclusive to the iPhone, there's software exclusive to the iPad and there's software that's scaled so it can be on both. You are right though in that this makes it massively more likely for us to have a uniform Virtual Console across both devices.

F-Zero GX STILL looks amazing. They just need to HD port it and it'd look incredible The game was ahead of its time. No, I know. I'm just saying that droughts are different for different people. Others would have enjoyed things like Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Gears of War Judgment, Metro Last Light, Saints Row IV etc. in that time.

Mine's just sitting under my TV, with my Wii, both collecting dust :/ Think my 360 is dying though. It takes forever to turn on and be playable (about 5 minutes from power on to being able to load a game) and is so ridiculously loud. But I digress. Wii U drought is over in two weeks, and there's some cool games coming out on 3DS and cool indie games (Armillo, QUBE among others) that are enticing to me coming out between DK and Mario Kart, so I'm all set. Will likely get a PS4 and Infamous, and Watch_Dogs if it is canned on the Wii U, towards the end of the year with the games likely to be marked down by then.

Yeah, plus I'm doing Virtual Console stuff often (helping a friend's site out with reviews). At the moment, I have Pokémon X (competitive team sorting), Pokémon Y (total for fun playthrough) and Batman Arkham Origins on the go, though Origins is starting to bore me a bit. But as I said in the edit to my post, droughts are different to different people depending on what they play. I had a 9 month drought on my 360 last year. No console drought will drive me to any other console. If a game is out on any console that I want, I'll get it. Simple as that. There's not really much on the horizon outside of Nintendo titles that is enticing me, anyway. Infamous somewhat, and Watch_Dogs (though I'm getting that on the Wii U if it does come), and a plethora of indie titles though. However, for the former, I'm in no rush.

Nope, not really. If there were other games coming out that I wanted on other formats in the drought, then sure, but at the moment? Nope. Not a damn thing I want on other formats. I don't care what format a game is on. If I want it, I'll get it. Every console has droughts. Besides, just because hypothetically one console has a constant stream of releases doesn't mean the releases appeal to me, so technically that console would have a drought for me. My Xbox 360, for example. Huge drought from Assassin's Creed 3 to GTA V of 9 months. Sure, it had games then, but none that interested me.

Considering there had been no Pokémon updates whatsoever barring one on October 18th, and Pokémon is Nintendo's biggest franchise at the moment, it's good.

"Pic of the day. Palkia appeared in the Spear Pillar stage of the previous game…but now it's coming out of a Poké Ball?! Here's Palkia's signature move, Spacial Rend!"

Just have to make sure to keep up your yearly subscription. Hopefully they'll inform you as it nears the end

I know, but two weeks is a bit long to wait, and yeah I did.

That's cool. I will spread the word, but I don't post about things such as charities on the site often. Whenever I do, I get inundated with requests and it makes me feel bad choosing between various ones, so I have taken a policy to not do it anymore.

I'm pretty sure there's a reason the VC has been so empty of late, and we'll see it within two weeks.

Again I get messaged, I send a response...nothing. Two weeks ago, I got a response from a message I sent, I responded to that and nothing.

Not really, as their deaths are now fixed, so even if the Doctor could take them, it'd be too risky and would create another paradox.

No. Not gold :p

I was referring to having a huge Virtual Console at launch, not unified systems :p

They never presented it as a sale point, though.

How does that matter? It doesn't matter that it may be a generation late. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't do it.

This whole concept they have put forward is to aim to correct that so it doesn't happen again.

There's a selling point right there. Biggest launch line-up in history. ... ... ... It won't happen
