Weekend Confirmed 130 - Wii U, Mark of the Ninja, Borderlands 2
by Jeff Mattas, Sep 14, 2012 11:00am 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.

I am grabbing one for the kids and wife and I. SMB Wii U and Nintendoland are perfect for us.
I also find the Wii U the perfect complement to pcgaming. EAsy to get into, pick up and play, family can all have fun, local multiplayer, etc gaming.
As a gamer I love the fact the Wii U is going to focus on new ways to play. That is what gaming is about. I like new experiences.
And for a family I am looking forward to the continuing the game on the controller feature when someone is gaming and someone else wants to watch tv.
Not sure why the launch lineup isn't any good. SMB Wii U and NintendoLand as party games. Maybe Zombie U if it pans out. Might even pick up a BO2 if it reviews well. 2 screen local multiplayer would be perfect for my oldest son and I.
I thought Weekend Confirmed came across as superficial in their criticism of the Wii U. Oh SMB looks the same. Oh that tablet controller. Oh the graphics are the same. Oh no one is going to buy a console when they can games for the 360. I do get it. YOu guys don't have families. YOu play games 24/7. IT's not cool to like Nintendo. etc. But it would have been if your criticisms were better thought out.
