Fighting guru Seth explains his love for smash-type games, and explains exactly why fighting games should be excited for PlayStation's brawling mash-up. Then, Andrew talks about his lengthy hands-on with Wii U, and explains how he's warming up to Nintendo's unique GamePad.

I enjoyed Skyward Sword so much in part because of how it handled motion controls. I thought the air traversal felt excellent, if a little under-utilized. Same goes for Phantom Hourglass, and that game ended up inspiring a lot of later action adventure games on the DS.
I'd say that nearly every Zelda game that came after Link's Awakening had some kind of new core idea that made it stand out and made it feel new. Ocarina of Time's entire control scheme was a revolution for its time. They tried to do something new again with Wind Waker but fans complained that it was too different, so NIntendo gave them want they wanted -- and that basically turned out to be Twilight Princess. That's why I ask for Nintendo to just surprise us and stop worrying about what the fans are asking for, because that's when they usually succeed.
