So why would you want to so closely link your new product in name, appearance and peripherals with a previous one that has such a negative image in your target audience? I think they missed the boat there. It makes theoretical sense if you want to sell shares of stock, but I'm not sure it was the right move in this case.

I feel like some of these companies are missing out on opportunities. I would buy a 360 right now if Killer Instinct 3 was being made. Also, Wii U would be a lock if there was any hint of Eternal Darkness 2 being made. I guess Eternal Darkness wasn't such a huge hit, but I thought KI was a really popular franchise. I guess I was wrong?
Then again, maybe it has to do with rights being tied up. I remember when a remastered version of GoldenEye was going to come out, but they could never get Nintendo and Microsoft to agree to the various terms. Sigh...

Didn't a remastered version of Goldeneye come out?

A remade version of Goldeneye came out. Not quite the same thing.
If they had announced Eternal Darkness 2 I would buy it on launch day. I have no illusions about such things.

As far as Killer Instinct, was that a big enough hit to garner fans today? SF and MK are both large enough that resurrecting them brought fans back, not sure about KI. I would kill for a new Blast Corps, though.

How, exactly, could you use the motion device for games like Tiger Woods or anything sports related??

But doesn't that indicate that they worked out the rights about Goldeneye? Or did they get around that by remaking the game entirely?

I'm sad to say that if the new console has an achievements-esque reward system, I'd be more likely to buy it.

I know they're using the Wii Remote. They asked about golf so I figured the video was the best way of illustrating how the Wii U Controller would be used for a golf game: basically, it won't be used at all.

I mean, there's some cool stuff in that video. The catching of the baseball in particular actually makes it look like the game could be a little more realistic in terms of catching and throwing a ball. And yeah, the zoom scope effect is pretty neat as well.
The problem is that the same effects could probably be accomplished in-game with either a standard controller of the Wii Remote in a much more natural and intuitive way. As it stands, at least from those previews, you'll have to look back and forth between screens to do things and I think that is going to get incredibly annoying and tedious really fast. Not to mention, if you want to do something in the game you'll have to hold the Controller in front of you aimed at the screen and I'm sure if you're playing a game for a while it will be very uncomfortable.
Another problem as I see it is that where the Wii Remote and its minimal motion controls were very simple and intuitive (a flick of the wrist, pulling the controller back, etc.), using this controller looks unnecessarily complicated and awkward, to the point of taking the fun out of playing games.

I want a new Blast Corps




It's almost as if you don't need a WiiU at all!
