Weekend Confirmed 130 - Wii U, Mark of the Ninja, Borderlands 2
by Jeff Mattas, Sep 14, 2012 6:00pm PDTGarnett Lee is joined by "Indie" Jeff Mattas and regular guest Andrea Rene for another round of Weekend Confirmed. On the docket this week are a number of topics surrounding the recent Wii U launch announcements, including some debate about pricing, the strength of its launch title lineup, and who Nintendo is courting as the console's core audience. Developer Klei's Mark of the Ninja gets some universal admiration from the crew, as well. Jeff has to skip out before the last segment, and Garnett and Andrea pull everything together with some early impressions of Borderlands 2 and, of course, Finishing Moves.

2. Nintendo Land has numerous single player attractions.
3. Nintendo has stated they will use exact pricing on their eshop just like they do now, no virtual currency.
4. Having a call of duty game where i can play splitscreenless couch multiplayer, i will be buying it on wiiU and so are my buddies.
5. the 3DS offers online gameswhere you can join and talk to strangers, i think the WiiU will as well.
6. you have to pause the game to do the stuff that the gamepad offers, i think its a better option than pausing and quicker.
i seriously think the opinions on wiiU here are just plain ignorant.
