Very excited about Mass Effect 3, and saddened that it won't be released until March 6th of next year. I want to finish the fight now! Wait, wrong franchise...
Compatibility of Wii controllers with the Wii U will definitely help its prospects. The only thing I'm really concerned about is price. How much will this tablet-like 6.2-inch touchscreen controller add to the Wii U's price tag? I don't think it would be a good idea for Nintendo to price the Wii U higher than $299. Microsoft and Sony could easily get away with a higher price, but Nintendo is (unfortunately for them) held to a different pricing standard. So if the cost per system ends up being pretty high, I hope for their sake that Nintendo will be willing to take a temporary hit on the hardware to get the price under $300.
Can't say I'm all that excited about Halo 4. I've had a strange relationship with the Halo franchise. I actually didn't like the original Halo all that much, but I loved Halo 2. I thought Halo 3 was okay (enjoyable enough, but not one of my favorite games), and I couldn't care less about Halo: Reach. What was it about Halo 2 that caused me to love it so much when I haven't had even close to that same feeling for the other Halo games?




ALL RIGHT! SKYWARD SWORD! NEW WII! HELL YEAH!
And I'm not too certain about this new controller...but we'll see what happens.
