Here's a Look at Resident Evil: Revelations' Wii U Features

Yeah right, buddy. I've made out with too many grotesque monsters over the years to fall for the old "it won't hurt" line again.

I played the Revelaitions demo on the 3DS but never actually bought it. I think this looks great and I'm probably going to buy it!

I'd would totally get this game, but fifty dollars for a touched up port of a year old 3DS game doesn't sound like a enticing proposition. If it drops to $35 though, I'm game.

Was that a touch screen hacking mini-game!? Now I can totally justify to myself that buying a Wii U will be worth it.

It's the exact same thing as on the 3DS basically. The Wii U version faithfully recreates the 3DS experience if you want it to.

I might get this for Wii U even though PS3 and PC are my preferred multiplatform game systems because I need something for my Wii U.

Exactly what I was thinking. Seriously, anything to hold off that buyers remorse when I look at that black, shiny, dust encrusted box. Doesn't hurt that the Wii U features seem pretty ok, as long as the frame rate holds up.

I bought the damn thing 2 weeks ago and already have buyers remorse. Only thing I'm truly looking forward to is Pikmin 3 and both Platinum games.

You don't care about the Xenoblade sequel, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Deus Ex HR Director's Cut, Wind Waker HD and a new 3D Mario? At least half of these are hitting this year. Also, you should really take a look at the eShop. If you have a Wii U, complain there's nothing to play and haven't bought Toki Tori 2 for example, it's simply your own fault! :)

That sure is a list of games... that don't interest me. Xenoblade was a fun rental but I don't really need another one of those, I love Fire Emblem but couldn't give a shit about the core Shin Megami Tensei games (Persona is all I care about in that series), I've played Deus Ex HR on PC and PS3, don't need to play Wind Waker again even if it is charming as hell and I don't particular care for Mario anymore.

I'm not saying there is absolutely nothing coming for the system I'm just saying there is barely anything for me. Why did I buy it if I'm only interested in the games I said in a previous post? It was an impulse buy pure and simple. I had cash on me and in my mind I said "fuck it" and bought the damn thing.

The MiiVerse integration on this looks great! The game itself is 'meh' but if I had a WiiU I'd probably get this again, if just for that charm of the weird WiiU stuff.

I guess it depends on the person. I play video games a lot and thought I should get a Wii U. While there weren't many games for it at the time (I just had Nintendo Land and ZombiU), I thought it was a pretty cool system. Since then, I've only played 3 games (own 2 of them) and those are Funky Barn, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and LEGO City Undercover. I have never had buyer's remorse for this system. I really hope there are some people out there like me in this. I still play my PC and 360 way more, but I have never regretted picking up a Wii U around launch.

Raid Mode is hella fun. This is probably my favorite Resident Evil game next to Mercenaries 3D.

I would love a option to transfer my 3ds save over to the Wii U for this. That might have gotten me to buy it.

This was a 3ds game so this seems like it would be the ideal platform to own it on. However, I will be picking it up on playstation.

I might get it, just because I have an itchy trigger finger. The map on the gamepad as the way most games should go these days on the wii u.

The Miiverse stuff seems pretty charming. When I eventually get a Wii U, I might pick this up.

This was such a great 3DS game. Not sure I'll need to get it in HD but it was the best RE game I played since 5. Though with ORC and 6 out there that might not sound like much. Still good though.

Great! I need a game for my WiiU, and this is basically like playing it on the 3DS with a Circle Pad Pro. Plus, making the zambies say silly things is fun.

Wait what? Why would you need your 3DS to play the Wii U version, Capcom? You so silly.

That's the standard eShop disclaimer that is in EVERY trailer. Nintendo should really update those. People actually speculated that a version of the DuckTales Remastered game was headed to 3DS because that disclaimer was in the reveal trailer. For once, I don't think this is Capcom's fault. Weird, I know. :D

The Miiverse integration with the quotes for enemies is a cool feature. I couldn't help but notice that every location shown in that trailer looked like the same areas from past RE titles.
