Hoping to gain more third party support, Nintendo confirms third parties have begun working on Wii U games.

Third party developers have received final Wii U development kits, Nintendo confirmed to Industry Gamers at CES.
Since the system was first unveiled at E3 2011, Nintendo has promised that the Wii U will receive more third party support thanks to its controller and approach towards gaming. Some of the confirmed developers as of now include Team Ninja, Electronic Arts, Namco Bandai, Sega, Ubisoft, THQ, Codemasters and many more.

While Nintendo has repeatedly stated that the hardware could change after last E3, it has resisted confirming any specific changes or improvements. The system will be re-unveiled at E3 2012.

Am I the only one who thinks that the case design is too... I don't know... rounded?

The curves really remind me of the XBox 360, of which the case I didn't particularily like either. Or the PSOne case. I prefere sharp edges, like on the Wii, PS2 and 360 Slim... But it'll do as long as it won't turn out to be a disappointment.

I think the case looks quite nice.

I have always loved the concept, but now, we have better technology, and it looks like a waste... It looks a little like the generic brand of the wii...

Seriously, go to the local general store, buy the motion gaming console, and I bet the Specs are better than the wii's. Here's how the gaming industry works:
Nintendo sets the bar, usually with mobile gaming or some sort of new technology.
Microsoft copies this, improves it, removes bulk, and put it on the market before it is perfected.
Sony Combines the two, jacks up the price, releases a remade console for even more, and then offer free online, so they don't lose ALL of their fans.

Huzzah. I'll look forward to third party entries. Y'know, so long as they don't end up being trash titles.

I will be interested to see what Sega can do with a Sonic game on the console. I loved the hell out of Colors, liked parts of Unleashed, and Generations gets my stamp of approval. If they keep trending like they have, I'll actually look forward to a Sonic game for the first time in years.

The only thing I don't like design wise is the thick border around the screen of the controller.
I would like it to have a more compact/streamlined design although keeping the screen size.

Another thing is the color, I want it to more unique, like the blue 3DS for example, man what I love that finish. :)

I've always thought of Blue being a special color to Nintendo of America. Blue DSi, Blue 3DS, Blue LED on the wii...

The only issue is if they go back to adding more characters, I hope they got over that, Sonic games only Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles and maybe Amy if in the right game as playables.

If the console is being released at the end of the year and they're just now handing out these development kits, than the 3rd party developers have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to get some games out in time for the launch.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
