Weekend Confirmed 69 - Ms. Splosion Man, Alice Madness Returns, Magic The Gathering
by Xav de Matos, Jul 15, 2011 2:00pm PDTWith Garnett Lee on vacation it's up to Jeff and Xav to drive the bus. Helping them keep the Weekend Confirmed bus out of the ditch is Totally Rad Show co-host Dan Trachtenberg and DJ Andy Reid from 44th and Filth. The crew talks Ms. 'Splosion Man, Alice: Madness Returns, Dead Space 2, Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, and more. In Listener Feedback we talk about if Nintendo has aged along with its old school fanbase and whether or not Call of Duty is the media's favorite whipping boy, among a few other topics. Then we slow things down and tackle the biggest news of the week, including discussion on EA's acquisition of PopCap.

Now to the big point yes the Wii U is underpowered, but as a hardcore gamer can you buy the next Xbox or playstation if it does not come with a tablet controller? I'm pretty sure that controller is a great idea, the problem thats gonna make the price on each of those go up at least $150. Assuming they go multi-touch, and the only way to cost cut go with a weaker console than was planned (again assuming). I can see them just going super on the graphic but that's only if they get a new console out next year, if not that tablets is a must as it will be the standard.
PS I'm not sure but could you use the tablet to run say WoW.
