Zero Punctuation: ZombiU

Honestly, when I saw some gameplay, I was literally thinking "Why does that have to be on the... thing they call controller? A normal GUI would have done the thing as well". Quite a few times, actually.
Of course, they COULD have done something with the controller that only works via controller-screen but I can't think of ANYTHING a GUI couldn't do, to be honest.

I was on the fence about whether to get this game or not, I decided against it and got NSMB U instead, even now, I still don't know if I made the right decision, NSMB U is actually challenging, either that or I'm just terrible at platformers now.
He's reviewing a Nintendo game and he has to compare something in favor to it apparently.Casual Shinji said:
No, it's much like with Mario Galaxy, where the guys at Nintendo essentially said "We do listen to players saying the previous game is too easy and make you regret saying it."OuendanCyrus said:
By the way, did anyone else notice that starting with the Super Nintendo and with the exception of the Gamecube, Nintendo likes to have most the game titles for the given console to fit the theme of the console? For the Super Nintendo, many of the titles had "Super" attached to them, for the Nintendo 64 they had 64 attached on the the end, the Wii had Wii tacked on to the end, and now with the Wii U they're haveing U tacked on to the end.
That's the problem with a "serious" zombie game like this, after you introduce them you can't really add anything new exept for more intense encounters. You can't introduce, say, fly-men once you've established this is a "conventional" zombie outbreak. This is probibly why Resident Evil made it aobut bio-weapons, to add giant snakes and lizard-men giving the game some variaty.
The Wii U's controller is the stupidest think I've ever seen. People thought the Wii's controller would be "revolutionary" and the Wii was just a shovelware box. I'd give it a year before we see the same exact thing from the Wii U.
2. I'd rather be in a country where people think that a Queen should do something than be in a country that is backwards enough to still have a Queen, stupid enough to not have her do anything, and shallow enough to publicly make her and her family's affairs into pop culture... but that's just me.
1. No one in America actually thinks that.WaitWHAT said:

The thing about the Wii U is it really is the Wii again. Nintendo talk about it being for the harcore, release a party game as their launch title (not ZombiU, Adventureland) and all the tech demos are about 5 players, 4 of which have wii motes. And they base it around a gimmick and it doesn't have the hardware to keep up with the other consoles
Whats more, they're bigging up asychronous gameplay, but guess what, we've been able to do that since we invented the internet when you think about it. We just don't do it that often (except for L4D Vs and defend/attack maps) because it's really not that interesting if you don't have other people in the room with you.
So what I'm saying is, the Wii U is more like the Wii Too

Seriously though guy/gal, the only peeps who give it the 'God save the queen' thing anymore are proberly much akin to the 'God bless America' lot. Shes like the relative no one likes, we only really put up with her at Christmas. Shes good for coaxing tourists away from their money though.
