"the thing I would be most excited about is inventory management"
And that, my friends, is why some people think the WiiU is going to fail.
As for me, I've got a huge inventory-management-induced boner right now. Can you imagine how much managing your inventory would ROCK on that thing?!

'However, as Martel points out, "the only people who have ever made a lot of money on the Wii is Nintendo"...'
...mainly due to the fact that the only people that brought great, otherwise non shit games to the Wii on a regular basis was Nintendo, at least at first 3rd parties only offered ports, shitports, crappy gamers and mini game collections which in essence poisoned the proverbial well so when the (still few) better efforts arrived made them harder to sell.
There, fixed that last paragraph for him.

Sweet! While I'll probably pick up B2 at launch for the PS3, I'd get the GOTY edition on the Wii U without a second thought.
So what they're saying is they're making a game for PS3/360/PC, and are thinking/hoping to port it to Nintendo's console with hopes that they can come up with some cool ways to use their unique controls.
And this is different from the norm....how?

Sounds interesting. I already kinda plan on buying the U (which is of course the new cool way of referring to the console, "the U" - sound pretty awesome, right?) and now I'm even more interested, with the Burch writing and all.
As excited as i am for the wii u i know i wont be getting multiplat games on it.
Borderlands 2 on ps3 for me, cant fucking wait.

@DinnertimeNinja: I'm not sure if you are serious, but that is legitimately the only thing to pique my interest in the WiiU to date. The ads/demos showing inventories on the controller with the game on screen looked awesome.

i don't feel like being patient with people like you,
go swallow some actual agent orange

I'll get this for the U namely because I can see myself playing this game uninterrupted in the living room while my Dad randomly pops in to watch the news on television - I won't bother since I can switch to the tablet's screen when that happens.

That isnt true
Namco, capcom, square, you know the devs who gave a crap about dev and doing something original made alot of money

I'm not debating they haven't as I am not sure of exact numbers, but that being the case do you think you can you post some links? I find it incredibly hard to believe capcom made money on vs tatsunuko but I suppose I've seen stranger things happen.

Don't forget MH3. If memory serves, it was their most successful home console MH game.
On this topic, I am feeling more and more torn... I HAVE to have this game at launch and for the 360, but a WiiU Version (2 player Local play with 1 using the tablet) and/or a Vita Version(BL on the GO!!) are so awesome that I would have to consider them....@.@;;;;;;

This all kind of feels like the hardcore gamers already have a home for their HD content, and I haven't seen anything that makes me think I need a Wii U. It's all convenience-type stuff and nothing that looks like it could justify having another console under the TV that plays games only slightly better.
And we still have no idea if online is going to be shit or not.

I don't know if Capcom would admit to making money on the Wii even if they had. Shinji Mikami had to force them to support the Gamecube, and there were stories at the time that Capcom execs were very unhappy with the arrangements.
Plus, it is Capcom. They can manage to lose money on nearly any project.

Ah, yes, mh. I still hear that is one of the only reasons to own my PSP and I still have yet to pick it up. Always looked good, just never got around to it. I wish it and other 3rd party games were multiplat tho, I feel we could get a greater sense of third party sales across all consoles.
Question, which third party multiplat titles made more on the Wii than they did on their pc/xbox/ps3 counterpart?

If Borderlands 2 came out for the Wii U it would definitely be the version I get hands-down, if for no reason other than the Wii U version would be released later with extra content probably on the disc.
@tekbunny
Aside from the casual stuff that eventually hit all consoles thanks to Kinect and Move, I'd say the only games that made more on the Wii than the PS3/360 were probably Resident Evil 4 and No More Heroes. The difference this time around is the Pro Controller, which is being made almost EXCLUSIVELY for multiplatform developers and third-party games.

Super. We're on the verge of another huge Wii-U announcement for another game that had been out for months on other systems. Looks like Nintendo's got next-gen locked.

"doing something original made alot of money"
Developers are forced to be "original" when made to hold themselves back.

Well that is because generally most if not all the third party games lack quality gaming experiences, marketing in general, planned launches that Nintendo makes.
I think it is a dumb idea to bank on the success of Aliens: Colonial Marines for the port of this game, as it will probably flop because NONE OF THE ALIEN GAMES ARE GOOD...
But seriously what is the point of a scary game if you already know what is going to attack you? Where you might be going? And all the possible weapons you get?
They would be better off just making a new whole series instead of trying to make games based off of other people's ideas and expectations, that's why ID made Doom instead of an aliens video game when contacted by Fox in the middle of development.
Lets face it almost all of the alien movies suck horribly today. The only one I could possibly have any respect for is the first one because at least it was the most original and had the best Cinematography and was not completely obvious what was going to happen next.
Everyone says Aliens or "Alien 2" by JAMES CAMERON was amazing and all I see is the plot completely copied and pasted with some minor adaptions with little to no character development, and a machine gun with a grenade launcher duct taped to a flame thrower and that was probably my favorite part of the movie as it was clear to me that the movie was meant to be a comedy of the first one.
Inclusion of female with a personality of a robot: check
All androids in the film a tools of the evil corporation: check
Male protagonists that die horribly: check
Aliens: check
Horrible excuse for a plot: check
False ending copied from the first: check
don't even speak of the third...
So really I have no clue why after AvP flopped horrendously without any support in 6 months... why would they be dumb enough to make another game in the vein of this series.
Especially since the Wii U is probably the most controversial system in the market. Unless they have something huge up their sleeves.
But that is just my opinion

I wouldn't be mad if they made Borderlands 2 and all upcoming RPGs/games that use inventories compatible to use the Vita as a controller.........
The thing about console ports to Vita is that you're actually getting something new: you get to take them on the go. That's real, tangible value to a lot of people.
Wii U ports of 360 and PS3 games? Where's the value? You get a menu or a map on your controller? How much value really is there in that? Why would you buy this console for $250-$300 to buy games you can get on a 360 or PS3 for $200 (or less, even)? Especially with the real next generation around the corner. I just don't see the point. The Wii U has a real uphill battle.
