Well requiring Plus to play online is a bit of a bummer but everything else from Sony's conference was music to my ears. I guess that will be the console I pick up in the future. I just hope Microsoft doesn't use its billions of cash reserves to just buy exclusivity for a console that not many people even want.
The Nintendo direct was not as good as I hoped, like people said no real surprises. I didn't even find megaman that big a surprise at all. I thought the Wii Fit trainer was an assist trophy at first but as a character, that seems a bit of a waste of a roster spot. Game look great though from what was shown so far. I hope there are some differences between the two versions and the 3DS one isn't just a portable version or something.
They sure went all out on Mario Kart 8, it has pretty much everything and then some, though I'm not sure I like that. I enjoyed the simpler games more like the N64 version. But seeing the whole anti-gravity racing made my heart sink a littleĀ F-Zero.. Oh how I miss you.
When they said 3D Mario I must say I was expecting more than that. It was a huge anti-climax. I did enjoy the 3DS game and the cat suit did make me laugh but yeah when you tease a 3D Mario and deliver that it will only lead to disappointment.
The X game is still looking as great as ever, I can't wait for more info and Bayonetta 2 is looking like more of the same which is a good thing.
Personally I can't see myself picking up a Wii U this year either since pretty much all the games were listed as 2014.
The new Donkey Kong game looked really good but again finding out that that was Retro's secret project was a bit of a let down too. A new IP every once and a while wouldn't hurt.
Oh and Wind Waker in HD yeah I'm sure it will be good but I can't really get that excited about it either.
