If Nintendo wanted to do something that would really upset the competition they could try not charging Europeans massively more than North Americans for a bloody change.

It's an entirely new console with a big graphics update, as well as a new "unique" controller. The console is sold with (presumably) one controller, and we don't have an idea about Gamecube playback. Chances are they took that out as the new WiiU now plays proprietary disks.Selim873 said:I have a question about this since I missed the E3 presentation, is this a new console (Or pretty much a Wii hardware upgrade) that will be sold with that controller, or is it just the controller, and if it is a "system hardware upgrade", did they say anything about leaving or removing Gamecube compatibility?
They already confirmed that there will be no Gamecube compatibility.Slyakin said:It's an entirely new console with a big graphics update, as well as a new "unique" controller.

We'll have to see. Also, the WiiU can be played with the Wii Remote and all of its accessories, like the Wii Balance Board, the Classic Controller, and Nunchuck.

Slyakin said:Yeah, they had to phase out the Gamecube at some point. It'd be weird if the PS3 played PS1 disks, eh? But the PS3 has a PS1 virtual library, so who knows?

If I'm not mistaken, all PS3's have PS1 disc compatibility. Only some have PS2 compatibility, mind you.

At least $275 or $300.
It sounds good,but I didn't want them killing off their own portable. (or at least beating it up a little) :/

I agree, they'd really just shine the fact on that the 3DS is "overpriced" (I don't think it is, but other people will).
Although what's the cost of the console with a controller?
Also, he doesn't say it will be $250, he says it'll be more than $250. They/he probably chose $250 to compare it to the Wii's launching price.
