The U certainly doesn't need a game like Singularity, it's bloody terrible. The U will get FPS and TPS games of high calibre though, and exclusives too. I'm personally hoping that developers are going to keep pointer controls as an option as they're smoother, faster and more accurate than dual analog controls. I'd also like to see hybrid controls using the remote, nunchuck and touchscreen. It'll be very easy to control a game using the remote and nunchuck with the touchscreen on your lap or on a table as long as there isn't anything mapped to a shake of the nunchuck. Freaks has shown good use of the touchscreen during multiplayer that we saw at E3, I'm looking forward to Freaks the most out of all of the titles that have been announced...I just hope that Ubisoft are going to include a pointer controls option.

It's been selling like hotcakes, how on earth could it be considered a flop..? What a ridiculous notion.

I still have my Gamecube, N64 and Wii so hell no im not buying the Wii U :PTakaSasuke20911
Why not, if you don't mind me asking..? The prospect of the Metroid, Zelda and Pikmin franchises in glorious 1080p-o-vision on a console around 4 or 5 times more powerful than the PS3 and 360 is too much to resist for me personally.

I believe they rated it the lowest so they can get more hits from metacritic. It's like people on Rotten Tomatoes who give bad reviews to what should be universally acclaimed movies. I mean honestly who would rate the dark night below a 60%? People who know they are going to get website hits.

Website hits = advertising dollars.......

Gamespot waited until their review would be the lowest score on metacrtic..... Yea reviews mean nothing anyways, especially from all the different reviewers. There shouldn't be scores, only content reviews and recommendations. maybe, "highly recommended" all the way down to "stay away from this game".

Yup, I said exactly the same thing a few pages back. GameSpot do this every now and then for high profile releases. You know as soon as a GameSpot review for a high profile game is late that it's going to be lower than the rest. 1Up do the same thing too. I stopped taking reviews from those two sites seriously years ago.

So have they adjusted the score accordingly now that the reviewer has realised that he was doing it wrong..? If not, why not..? I think the Editors need to get this looked at again tbh.

Okay, so the reviewer has realised that he messed up with the controls as we can see from the Editors Note. So when are they going to adjust the score accordingly..?

They do this for high profile releases on all platforms to generate revenue from adverts. This isn't the first time it's happened and it won't be the last. What's the first thing you do when you see that 7.5 score on Metacritic..? That's right, you click on it to read the review. Ker-ching. 1Up do the same thing every now and then too, it's only a matter of time before Metacritic remove their scores from the Metascore.

We'll see an achievement/trophy system for the U as well as ditching Friend Codes, but not for the 3DS unfortunately.

Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D, Ocarina of Time and SSFIV 3D are all excellent. Mercenaries 3D is as addictive as crack cocaine, so be warned lol

GTA V as a launch title with far superior eye candy compared to the PS3 and 360 may shift a few consoles off shelves, same goes for any other big-name multiplatform titles. For me personally I'm interested in Freaks the most - for starters it's set in London, secondly I like the humour, thirdly I love anything with anything even slightly resembling Raving Rabbids and finally because I was impressed with the proof-of-concept demo.
