I personally thought City was a big step down from Asylum.
A double-pack would have been smart.

I found Arkham Asylum pretty underwhelming, and I'm a huge Batman fan.
I felt that my hand was being held constantly. The game gave the illusion of freedom and depth, but in reality, I was often being led down a narrow path.
With the combat, I felt like control was often taken out of my hands. Like, I'd press a couple of buttons and before I knew it, Batman was jumping everywhere doing all these crazy moves. I didn't feel too involved in what action had just occurred on screen.
I also hated having to constantly switch between normal view and detective mode. In all honesty, I felt that normal mode only became useful to 'check out' the graphics. Playing felt like what Ocarina of Time would be like if you had to play the entire game using the lense of truth.

This is pretty funny because I've heard a lot of Sony and Microsoft fans saying that they expect native 4k or at least 4k capabilities next gen.

Will do Cap'n.
Just left the Wii U Experience and just wanted to say a couple of things. 1st, Project P-100 is a lot of fun. 
. Second, the Wii U is even smaller than I expected.
I didn't get a chance to play too many games and Zombie U wasn't on the floor because it was the day for families. Oh well.

The GPUs will support 4K, but you'd be crazy to think you'll get any games at that resolution. Heck, I wonder if MS/Sony will allow their GPUs to output at that through HDMI.
Even the Wii U GPU should support 2K or around there somewhere, but you'll be getting most of your Wii U titles around 720p.
Batman AA would be a nice pre order bonus for AC at least, and then offer it for 10 bucks as a DD for the others.

I'm hoping Okami HD makes its way onto the Wii U. The bush controls would be fantastic using the screen on the Wii U pad. Anything of the sort been mentioned on the Capcom boards?
I should really make a habit of dropping into this thread more often... if only there was some sort of, I don't know, update notifier, nay, a SUBSCRIPTION service of some kind...
Anywho, I'll try and get more involved by posing this question:
If the Gamecube store is available on the e-shop, which 3 games would you like available form day one?

Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime. I still wouldn't touch it at full price though - maybe $10 or something down the line.
Baiten Kaitos. I never got to play the games, and heard good things about them.

The way TheMagician describes it makes me want to stay away from it. I played it briefly but damn..I really dont like games with controls thats just animations..that shit equals lack of control.

Interesting Q
because it would depend on what games are available lol. Tons of great GC games.
Wind Waker would be the only "instant" buy for me. Only played through it once when it came out.
Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes as the second. Same with this, played it once. Love MGS.
Perhaps Paper Mario as the third one as I never played it.
I've played other classics like Metroid Prime and Re4 to death or multiple times so they wouldn't be as "fresh" for me. I don't like getting games just for the sake of having them so I wouldn't download titles that are simply "high rated" and whatnot.
F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime and Wind Waker (assuming that they are HD remastered in some way).

I can't decide. I've missed out on too much.
what was the last gaming console you owned bg?
Native 4k is not going to happen. Nope. GPUs may support 4k resolutions--as in, if you have a 4k video, the video will be able to play on whatever screen you have (though, I don't know why you would want a 4k video on a screen any size less). It may support 4k resolution televisions (upscaling) which most GPUs today do anyways, so it's nothing special. But native 4k is far more than a long shot at this point.
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Wind Waker using the Gamepad as the Tingle Tuner has to be the obvious one...

Preety boring times ahead, no hardware info, either for a miracle spec sheet release or NDA drop or when they open up the console.
Found myself other things to do, now quakecon2012 is coming up and dont expect anything. Carmack has to completely avoid the topic.
Then i have timeout til september cause of studying .... lets see considering i dont worry about 3rd party launch lineup nor software generally ... usually i dont create any toughts until days before release, i dont discuss anything nor let my self see too much info, i skip large parts of interviews and videos, last time was zelda twilight princess, worked like a charm.
The exceptions are id softwares wiiu stuff if at all soon and the recognition of wiiu zapper control method that may finally push the ugly anslogs out of the FPS space and to see how many studios and which ones will be the the first to see the potential, nintendo will use it o theirs so thats all i will play unless some third party has enough quality game with wiiu zapper support and a proper one! that includes id software, i will not try anything with analogs, as a matter of fact i have my PC for those kinds.
This is the important stuff we need to be worrying and promoting it, nobody may expect it to be the big differentiator .. it is, potential is there it just needs to be recognized, most people have a primitive absolute opinion of what nintendo has shown instead of researching what could be done with this, seeing it just as they told them selfs if you listen the certain important interviews.

Their is the Dragon Quest X Nintendo Direct later today, their could be a chance we can see the Wii U version of the game.

There's nothing about Wii U mentioned, but who knows, perhaps they'll share something.
We've already seen the Wii U version in action.

I've never played any of these games and I am ashamed.

Rented this one once and completed it, but didn't feel like I got nearly enough time with it.

Not being a PC gamer I don't know, but how common are 4K PC games at the moment and how much is, say, a 4K 32" display? I'm pretty sre 4K TVs are some way off and seeing as the 720 will be designed to be a livingroom TV box, well.. you can work the rest out.
You need so much hardware power to render a typical game at 4K it's not even worth talking about. This hardware power is not present is any of the next gen consoles. I have no idea how much a 4K display is, but I can pretty safely say that it's about a decade away from any kind of practical adoption on a consumer level.

Thought so. That's what gets me about some MS/Sony fans; they seem to have this fantasy that these companies can and will pull technology from Tomorrow's World out of their arse which is connected to the aether, stuff that PC gamers haven't and won't properly get for some time, all at a price that'll sell to the general public. I think power tech obsessed folks by nature have very narrow selfish outlooks.

Really? A decade away when we've got "retina display" devices already? I mean, the new 15" Apple Powerbook has a resolution of 2880x1800; if that same screen was just expanded to 21", there you go, a 4k screen (actually a little higher resolution than 4k). And that laptop's GPU can handle multiple external displays in addition to its own, to the point where there are more pixels than all but the highest 4k standard (4096 × 3112), and it can play a 4k video in addition to a couple 1080p videos without a problem. Admittedly, that's not gaming, but I don't think a "typical game" running at 4k would be a problem with today's higher end video cards. Diablo 3 or Portal 2, for example, wouldn't need much power at all to run at that resolution.

That's pretty impressive. Unless of course you just picked up a brand new N64 last year or something haha
Life/work/other things got in the way? Or just lost interest?
Pikmin.. since would help people complete the collection at launch.
Luigi's Mansion since it would help cross-promote the launch of the game on the 3DS during the fall.
F-Zero GX.. easy way to gauge interest in a revival early and possibly promote its inclusion in NintendoLand
A 32gigaflop GPU is powering the "retina" resolution on the iPad3, too. Doesn't mean you can drive a game at that resolution.
There is a clear distinction.
If you're talking about the practical adoption of 4K TVs in the typical consumer household, I don't think I will be that far off in saying about a decade. Especially with current HD adoption not being 100% still.
SE is not going to show the Wii U version of the game when the Wii version they want everyone to buy comes out in 4 days.

Not to mention it uses software to double the pixels rendered so it can achieve those monstrous numbers, but not more definition.
To truly render at that resolution would bring both devices to their knees
I still have a hope, it's possible the Wii version won't even come outside of Japan.
