As one of the rare people who truly enjoyed playing Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
on the Gamecube with four Game Boy Advance attached to it, I'm very excited about the possibilities that the Wii U presents
. Good on them for finally catching up to the HD game. Should have happened a long time ago, but better late than never. And it's delightful that they're going to make it backward compatible with not only games, but also accessories. That new controller doesn't look like it'll come cheap, and it gives you an option to play with kids or friends that you might not trust with a pricey tablet. It looks like a huge controller. I don't know if it'll be something that will lend itself to long gaming sessions because of that.It is good to see them finally getting good third party support. It'll be interesting to see what happens when people really do have an equivalent option to purchase games across all three systems. Right now the question is whether to get the multi-platform titles on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. I don't necessarily think that Nintendo will be getting those sales, but what will happen is that it opens those games up to a wider audience. People who only have the Nintendo system will now be able to play Assassin's Creed Revelations
, Darksiders 2, and Batman: Arkham City
. Of course, the Wii U doesn't come out until next year and all those games are out this year. Those better be launch titles as a result. Otherwise, who is going to buy a 6 month old game and be interested?On to better things, the 3DS just keeps getting better. I need to find wifi somewhere that I can connect to, or perhaps change the security on my connection here at home, because I'd love to get the update. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3DS
, and Mario Kart are going to be great. And the fact that I can buy NES games and older? Thank you, Nintendo!Actually, I think I'm going to walk over to Starbucks right now to download the update...
