I figure, the ports are just we're seeing now, because the developers are makin' them alongside the versions going on the 360 and PS3. From what I hear of the Wuu's specs, it's stronger than the 360, so I'm confident we'll see stuff on there that they can't do for the 360 or PS3.

They'll quickly have to worry about the X720 and the PS4, though.

It's an interesting gamble by Nintendo. I honestly half-expected them to keep pandering to casuals. If they're seriously going to try to make headway back into the hardcore with HD material, though, I think they're going to need a lot more than just ports. Ideally, they need at least one major third-party developer to work exclusively for the Wii U.

In other news I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before but Skyrim looks astoundingly good.

Well, I figure non-ports will happen soon enough. The system's still a year away, on average. What we're seeing now is just what's being made now. I figure dropping names like "Darksiders" and "Assassin's Creed", even if they're ports, was Nintendo's way of saying "Yeah, they're on board with us now".

In other news, I'm interested in the ways the new controller (which needs a name. "panUl"? No, that looks stUpid) could be used. You know, like that sniper-scope thing that was shown.

Or, like, say you're playing some new Metroid Prime-esque game. Your character could have a scanning device that looks like a big ol' panel (I've seen things like this in some shows), and when you pull out the device, you use the new controller to lock on to stuff to scan, while your character moves his device in the same way.

Or something, Idunno. I figure the panel-controller has potential.

It does. Think everything the DS can do, but with nicer graphics and a couple new things (motion control, camera and who knows what else does it have).

Also, maybe they didn't name it the "Wuu" because they fear a lawsuit from the pirates that have been selling Wü accessories and consoles for quite some time .

My thoughts on the Wii U are here.

Also: Does this legitimize the original Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles?

Actually, that should read "for the Wii U every controller is a Wii Remote except for a single iPad."

Because you can't hook up more than one WiiPad to the system.

So no Crystal Chronicles.

Has that been explicitly stated yet?

I don't really care about what the console lacks or does not lack. What I care about is the games.

And apparently there's a new Smash Bros in development. One for both the Wuu and the 3DS.

I love CC, but I don't think that the Wii U can run it, since it's only one panel per console, according to Gamasutra. I think Gamasutra said that.

I hope that, if you can't connect more than one of those controllers, you can at least use the 3DS, or even the DS so we can get more games like the first Crystal Chronicles game, of Four Swords Adventures :/
