Wii-U is the absolute worst console name I have ever heard. I just want to push down a cliff the person or persons responsible for coming up with it. Wii comes in as a close second.

Don't forget the Casio Loopy.

Or the Apple Pippin.

They should have named the original game Super Mario Bros. 4.

Believe it or not, that would cause a naming crisis as confusing as the Final Fantasy 2 = 4, 3 = 6, and 5 doesn't exist stuff. Why? Super Mario World was Super Mario Bros. 4 in Japan, so over there it would have to be 5.

Ahhhh, right, I forgot about that nonsense.

Well, in that case, Donkey Kong Country Returns should have been named Donkey Kong Country 4.

[GameMasterGuy]

You've got me there. It's better than just calling it "Donkey Kong Country", I hate it when reboots do that.

[Ziggy]

Well at least they tacked on Returns. MK9 is just called Mortal Kombat, and that really pisses me off.

[GameMasterGuy]

There's others, such as Sonic 06, which is officially just called Sonic the Hedgehog.

[AppleQueso]

The worst is when they make a sequel/prequel and title it as if it's a reboot.

Looking at you Rocky Balboa, Rambo, etc.

Who's willing to bet this game is going to run like a dog, just like every other Rockstar release on PC? (also: 35GB?! This isn't World of Warcraft.)

It isn't known whether these are the minimum/recommended specs but DAMN is the first word that comes to mind.
