im sticking with vita


not to say wii u isnt interesting ,,,,,,,, but no killer titles announced yet , ,,,,,, nothing to warrant opening the wallet yet for me

nintendo are a great company n all ,,,,,,,, and they do make a few adult games , but primarily cater to the young with fluffycuteadventure2 etc ,,,,,,,,, so probably great for your son m8 ,,,,,,, but not for me

im not knocking the system tom , ,,,,, im a firm believer in a great game is a great game regardless of format ,,,,,,, ive owned or still do own atari 2600 st , c16 c64 amiga , spectrum , megadrive snes , ps1/2/3/vita , xbox/360 ,,,,,,,, and countless other retro consoles and handhelds.


im just saying although ninty has some superb titles , theres a lot of kid aimed shovelware too ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the only reason ive held off from buying a wii u is that currently theres nothing much attracting me to it

lets face it , other than zombi u ,,,,,,, the rest of your list are already available on ps3/xbox ,,,,,,,,,,,, hardly persuasion to dig in the wallet just yet


i love all systems , i just think sony have more adult exclusives for my tastes at the mo ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, plus it will be interesting to see what the ps4/x720 have in store for us

Currently not all that interested in the Wii U but that will probably change when Zelda Wind Waker HD is released!

Commodore was a great company. Fucked up that Microsoft ended up winning the OS war, as it was by far the worst. The Amiga made the most of what it had. What fantastic games... Anyone remember North & South, Robocod?

robocod was great , but the megadrive version is far superior .


amiga had some great games though , speedball 2 , it came from the desert , etc ,,,,,,,,,,,, i had the amiga 500 batpack ,,,,,,,, came with batman , new zealand story and f22 intercepter ,,,,,, good times indeed

It came from the desert was cool. Alien Breed was a good one. Cannon Fodder. Populous. And the classic Point'n'Click adventures.

there's plenty of rumours doing the rounds at the mo ,,,,,,,,, will 20th be the ps4 reveal ? who knows

other reports suggest they may wait for bill gates to lay his cards on the table first ,,,,, hmmm ????



plus what with the arrival of cheap alternative android home consoles looming on the horizon (check ouya , gamestick, etc) ,,,,,,,,,,, who knows who will be the clear winner next gen ???????
