System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

- I've heard rumors this is supposed to be a big one, with some big game reveals planned. That would certainly be nice, since the canvas for both the 3DS and Wii U is very bleak right now, outside of the handful of (admittedly great) games that we already know are coming in 2013.

It would make sense to do that after the holiday, in order to maximize system sales. Maybe release dates? Lego City looks great. Zelda 3DS perhaps?
