Id be inclined to go with a "proper" racing game, just from the shape. T:

My thoughts exactly.
On another note, I think that Lego City on the WIIU looks interesting.

I notice a lot of sequels are being released for the Wii U, wouldnt that work against it? Most people who've bought 1 or 2 of a series want to continue it on the same platform, especially with the likes of games which use previous save data like Mass Effect. :T

Probably, but ME3 will probably have some sort of choice system at the start. Also Assassins Creed's story is not really all that good.

It's not as if the monitor on the left clearly shows the Sonic And Sega All Stars Racing Transformed logo or anything. That would be a give away.

If they made one with really nice detailed, smoothly animated 2d sprites ala Rayman Origins I would be genuinely interested. As long as it didn't have the clipping issues and lack of well-hidden secrets that make Rayman Origins much less interesting to me that it seemed at first, I'd be kinda OK with that I suppose. I get a bit tired of that game getting lauded as one of the best platformers ever. While it is great fun it has enough flaws that I haven't bothered to finish it, while I have played all the Marios about a half a billion times, because they're pretty much perfect. I agree with you about the art style, but I won't let it get in the way of the best 2D platformers in years.

The car thing from the previous page is the dumb Danica Patrick thing. So, yeah. Anyway, I think there's a lot to be said about the charm of Rayman Origins vs New Super Mario Bros in terms of comparing them. Though I may be biased against Mario, I can't say I ever really found anything charming or endearing about the design of NSMB - while Rayman just oozes style. The gameplay is basically standard platforming fare - but that's a rarity in and of itself these days, so it's going to get let off easily either way.

I never said Rayman was the best platforming game ever I just pointed out I prefer it to NSMB. I understand why people prefer Mario but I just don't and can't like New Super Mario Brothers. I also like the look of that Watch Dogs game. Edit: I don't own NSMB or Origins. However I've played both though.

We're talking about a superb game (Origins) versus what, for me, was effectively a flawless game (NSMBWii).

This article has a lot of technical bumph in it about the Wii U capabilities. But one notable thing is the comparison of Arkham City's visuals. It seems that, although the Wii U isn't really that much more powerful than the PS3 and 360, it does at least have a bag of tricks far closer to the current DX11 games heading to PC. Bearing in mind that anything demonstrated currently is NOT going to be operating at peak graphical level either, given that the tools are still evolving and being optimised, as well as the developers learning the capabilities and how to push them, it does look like the Wii U might just be able to have a decent horse to run for the duration of this generation. The second screen on the tablet controller does seem to hamper its abilities, though - so the best looking games will inevitably feature very little use of that screen. What that means for when you're -just- using that screen, who knows. It may look just as it would on the TV in that instance - but that will likely be something we won't know until launch. Running two tablet controllers reportedly cuts the framerate of the game in half - but as you'll note in the article, the Wii U is designed to run at 60FPS - double the standard we currently enjoy on most games anyway. It would seem that all those extra frames per second are actually there defensively, rather than a key visual bonus point. Ultimately, that won't be a problem in comparison to its current competition. Expect a lot of developers to either abandon using a second gamepad, or abandon their pretty visuals, by the time the next Xbox and PS3 start rolling in, though...
