It's FPS, though. You still won't connect to the character in any meaningful way. Unless there's some 3rd-person option I haven't see before?

That's true, that's why it wouldn't need to be anything major or that in depth. You see the character when it switches to where you have to do stuff on the gamepad, I believe, like unlocking things and all of that. And besides, it would be cool seeing your created character newly transformed into a zombie coming after you if you die.

Don't you still deck out your Borderlands characters? Halo Spartans?

People in co-op see those characters. Is that an option on ZombieU?

My co-op partners do. I see him on the title screen too.

I don't play Halo or CoD.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be neat, I'm just saying that it wouldn't create the emotional bond that Brent was going for.

First reviews of Ninja Gaiden 3 are out:

IGN: 7.6 Link
Games Radar: 2.5 / 5 Link
Destructoid: 5.5 / 10 Link

Lots of complaints about jagged gfx and choppy frame rates, disappointing. But a shitty game is a shitty game regardless.

Well that sucks. It was sounding like the changes made to the game were going to make it a lot better.

So I guess the 8 GB system only has about 3 GB of storage space after the typical formatting and OS. Sheesh. That's pretty pathetic.

I'm not sure I'm surprised by these. Nintendo's new consoles should be viewed as the last entry to the current gen not the first of the next gen.

It sucks that it was advertised as having 8GB. But, it doesn't actually bother me that much because I know I would need a hard drive soon anyway, even if it had 8GB available.

I’m going to need Kotaku music expert Kirk Hamilton to test this but I could swear that some of the nifty Wii U music I’ve been hearing this week plays in concert across my TV speakers and the speakers on the GamePad with different instruments playing out of the different speakers. For example, I think one piece I heard put its violins on the GamePad. Most of the rest of the instruments were playing from the TV. If my ears weren’t deceiving me, that’s really cool.

so basically, it counts the pad speaker as a separate speaker (like in a 5.1 system) and they mix it like that.

No, because it's too long.

New Super Mario Bros U
Joystiq: 4.5 out of 5 " It proves that there's more to the formula than just impeccable platforming. There's a sense of wonder again, of exploration and discovery. I'm not quite prepared to say New Super Mario Bros. U fully recaptures the spark of Mario's 2D heyday, but it's an impressive step in the right direction."
