I really don't know what to say about Nintendo right now. I'm sure that the Wii U is going to sell millions, but I feel like it's going to end up being the exact same thing the Wii was: a great hardware install base, but an overall software pick up rate of about 20%. Trashy. The touch pad controller looks nifty but I'm waiting to see a game that will use it in a way that isn't a total gimmick. ZombiU looks like it might be that one, but I won't be sure until I've seen more of it. Scribblenauts is a game I play on the bus. Those far-too-beautiful looking people in their demo did not convince me it's a big screen TV type of game. I wish I were more optimistic about this.
