this is a dissapointment, and kinda in line with what i had interpreted from the way they went about their marketing... but i've gone all in, i've ordered the console, i'm gonna try and make it work.
At the moment i'm jazzed by the idea of playing games like SSX 3, Red Dead Redemption and the like with boosted visuals - Dolphin is so annoying to use for SSX 3 on PC, and the WiiU didn't do
anything to improve the visuals of the Wii virtual console... I've set myself the goal of nailing down 10 titles that I will play, including all backward compatible titles...
At the moment it's:
SSX 3
Crimson Skies
Red Dead Redemption
...
* = absolutely not a sure thing at this point
* Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
* KOTOR 1 (if you can't patch KOTOR 2 I don't think I wanna play it)
* Halo: MCC
* All the Gears titles because why not
* Mass Effect L.E. - Not sure because I've played it all before and I don't wanna slog through the first one again.
* Microsoft Flight Sim - I'm not sure about this because even though I'm huge on planes I have always got bored of Flight Sims.
* Forza Horizon 5 - I'm really not sure about this because I've got GT7 pre-ordered and that's the series I really love. Maybe I'll get an older Forza first and see how I like it.
Happy to entertain suggestions... though i must say i remember having lost odyssey on 360 back in 2010 or whenever and I remember not getting into it, and xbox doesn't make FFXIII any less linear, or FFXIII-2 any less like a vacuous music video.
