Official Wii U Thread

That's fair. To make it a more generic point, no useful IPs began during the mostly lost Wii/DS generation. Maybe the Quality of Life initiative involves folding the space/time continuum to connect the Wii U/3DS directly to the GC/GBA.

I think Endless Ocean would be a better fit for 3DS. 3D and underwater seems like a natural fit to me, and the screen size and 3D combine to hide a lot of deficiencies.

No game is a better fit the the 3DS versus the WiiU. It seems like the Pro here is "it looks crappy and it's better on something where I can tolerate crappiness more"

I completely disagree. In either case you're foregoing cutting edge visuals. I personally am willing to trade 720p for 3D for certain genres and/or settings, including racing, rail shooting, and underwater, because those fit very well with that experience.

And since you emulate games on your SHIELD instead of always on your PC or whatever, you must be able to relate.

edit: I will readily admit, however, that a much better design decision would have been to scrap the bottom screen and make the 3D screen of better quality and with more horsepower behind it.

I don't play on the Shield when I have a PC nearby.

People play the 3DS in 3D? I don't. So give me big screen immersive-ness instead of small screen portability for my relaxing diving experience.

I like the hell out of the 3DS 3d, personally. The diorama effect is neat.

Nice for judging distances in Mario/Monster Hunter.

And what's with the Xeno project? Am I not hearing anything new because TNL or because there's been no new info?

I would expect new info at E3. You know how Nintendo is they're super secretive about shit. I think the tentative release date is some time this year though (I think even in NA, thought I could be wrong).
