For someone who owns PS360/PC, no. For that group of people who swear by Nintendo and went from Gamecube to Wii, yes.

Even still, the New Super Mario Bros game is all that it has, and I didn't think the Wii one was anywhere close to the older ones. This one looks a little better, but I'm not going to buy it's as good as the classics.

After that, it's a while before any notable games will be coming.
 
Sorry to go a bit off topic here, but Bonnar tested positive for Drostanalone, an anabolic steroid from UFC 153 drug testing.

Dave Herman also got popped, again for weed.

The Wonderful 101 is supposed to be out by March which I'm pretty excited for. Other than that, it's a standard console launch as far as software goes.

I do think Nintendo is being way too secretive regarding future software though.

I liked Pikmin back in the day, never played the second, but the third looks solid. That 101 game looks similar too. It's nothing I would go drop $400 on though, a whole lot of complimentary games. They can't even get a version of GTA V.
 
I remember someone in nerd chat suggesting the Nog/Herman fight was a work and if Herman didn't get cut that was proof. I'm thinking they may be right. He lost 3 in a row in a sloppy, terrible way and has got popped for drugs twice. A lot more fighters have been cut for A LOT less.
 
I'm dropping $400 for 101 and Bayonetta 2. I would go above $400 for those two if I had to.

Not gonna get one at launch, but might pick one up in Q1 when 101 comes out. I need a system that will have Bayo 2. Nothing in the launch lineup screams must buy to me. If Mario was sprite based than that might have sealed the deal.

When is the workplace ever fair?

No point in getting the system asap then. I bet even due to the fact that this is nintendo's first foray into hd gaming and an actual firmware/os that launch consoles will have some kind of bugs. Bayonetta aint till later. Just wait.

I did suggest that. I'd be seriously surprised if his next fight is in the UFC, though. I assume the press just doesn't know he's cut yet.
 
Fellas is anyone else not seeing WSoF on the NBC Sports channel tomorrow? I'm seeing MLS Soccer.

I'll get a WiiU when a new Zelda comes out.

It's probably going to be another 2 to 3 years at their slow ass pace nowadays. Pretty crazy Nintendo really hasn't released anything for a console since Skyword Sword last year, and then for a year before that release even. Yet, all they can show for launch window is the 4th game in a 2D Mario series, a minigame collection, and a game originally made for Wii and delayed about as much as Duke Nukem.

I think Japanese companies are just inept nowadays. Takes fucking forever to release anything.

There was an IGN piece on it and how the guy was basically trying to convince himself it was going to be awesome because of the throwback additions from Mario Bros 3 and Mario World. That really doesn't mean anything if the level design continues to be a stale, multiplayer adapted, obstacle course.

Oh and I can't wait for more of the NSMB series' uniquely stale signature music. Can't wait to see how often it uses that "Ahh" vocal sample.

Sad thing is, most of the tracks would be a lot better if they removed that annoying ass effect.

I remember having a keyboard thing as a kid, and had no idea how to play it, and a sound just like that was on there. You could hold the key down and it would continue in the most annoying 'waaaaaa' drone ever. That's what I think of when I hear that horrible sound effect in the game.

Honestly I'd rather be inundated with McKayla pictures than have to skim over Nintendo talk in my Mixed Martials.

Video games are truly awful, friends.

New mario bros games were great games, except they were both portable games, but nintendo wanted to pretend that somehow part 2 was a real console game and not a slightly upscaled port totally not redesigned for co op play. Nintendo takes more half measures and bullshit shortcuts than any company including capcom and thats a fucking accomplishment.

Personally I don't know how anyone can still be interested in a side scrolling Mario game. Might as well get hyped for the next COD while you're at it.

Steve Mocco looks like the Big Boss Man on that poster. Plus he's the only guy wearing a shirt.

but he's no match for Tyler Perry aka Alex Cross. Hell, he already has experience in bringing down MMA fighters, this was the last guy he beat:
