Rumor: Wii U in Development Hell

[KingVamp]

I have a feeling if Sony made this controller instead, they wouldn't be getting as much heat.

Really dude? Do you have a 3DS? Does it "deface" itself?I've owned a 3DS before, yes it did. There was marks on the top screen from the slide pad which was very noticeable and some other marks.QUOTE(KingVamp @ Sep 9 2011, 06:08 PM) I still didn't know what those guys are doing to make it deface itself.

They're doing nothing at all. It happens by itself.

Marks as in smudges or scratches?

If it happens by itself, explain why mine and others didn't get this issue.

Same here, my 3DS is 4 months old, used daily, taken everywhere, and it's spotless. I do clean it with water and an old t-shirt a couple times a week. It gets a little ring on the top screen from the slide-pad (not part of the display area, but over to the side under the speaker) but its just finger grease ... wipes off.

And even more bad news for Nintendo. Maybe they'll just consider getting rid of that stupid controller; that would be a wonderful start.

Did u play with it?
It isn't as big as people think and really feels nice in your Hands.
I liked it.
Also u should not forget that Wii Controllers are all compatible with the Wii U.

My only concerns are, that Nintendo will not use enough power to compete against next gen rivals.

Unlikely. A stupid idea is a stupid idea, no matter who makes it.

The sad part is, the technology behind the propose tablet is interesting. It could have some great uses, but basing the entire system around it just isn't going to work.

I would appreciate it if they moved from focusing on gimmicks to just focusing on games. It really isn't that difficult.

Yeah if you're wreckless. And don't give me "I take care of my stuff blahblahblah". My 3DS has no screen protectors or anything on it. It gets extensive use, I toss it onto my bed, I put it in my bag and pocket, I treat it like it's a gaming handheld. And you know what, there isn't a single scratch or problem with it. Now, if I am able to keep my 3DS safe and scratch/mark free without trying, then there's no reason others can't.

They focus on both. The "gimmicks" add to the games.

" technology behind the propose tablet is interesting"

Then why are you hating on the controller?

ughh. dude i have them too and i think its from pressure like when i put the 3ds in my pocket. you are lucky you don't have it.

"And don't give me "I take care of my stuff blahblahblah""

wow what you expect us to say then? "We're just complaining and in actuality it's own fault that we don't take care of our 3ds?"

the marks just appear. at first they were just a line that i can just wipe away, but then it starts to become permanent. now the only marks i can wipe away are the ones made from the circle pad.

The 3DS has "interesting technology" but it's far from perfect or even useful. In the end its more of a bother than anything else.

And don't give me the same old "BUT IT ADDS TO GAMEPLAY AND 3D IS THE GREATEST THING EVER" like you usually do.

 

[DiscostewSM]

Well, new stuff can be interesting, yet unfeasible at the same time. Unfortunately, by the time it does become feasible, it's more likely to not be interesting anymore. Tis sad.

Why? When you give the exact opposite every time.

I don't have "3D IS THE GREATEST THING EVER" in my mind. It seem to me you going around saying "3D IS THE WORST THING EVER AND PRAISE THE HD

"

 

[Ghostyis40]

Sigh, this is what you call "A Crock of Malarky" just go watch all the videos that showed like 30 dev's commenting on the use's for the system and how great it is, they even talked about some of there games that they were gonna make for it...you know stuff like this is pointless to even post on the internet, I mean why post what isn't true...I wish ppl would stop already and do there research first...and that goes for dumb ass ign!

Because HD is actually cool? 3D is just 3D and, at this point of time, can be quite cumbersome. You can play it on a handheld if you hold it at a certain distance and don't move your head at all or change that distance, which really seems to defeat the point of "portability". You can overpay for an expensive TV and wear goofy glasses. Either route you choose it's a big bother and you get a headache from all the shit you have to go through to get the 3D or just from the 3D itself.

HD actually makes our games look better, more detailed, prettier. 3D just makes them... 3D.

I suggest you watch this. Yahtzee is highly critical of most everything so him tearing it to shreds is a common occurrence, but he does outline almost all the major flaws with the system and even Nintendo in general. And this review was at launch.

EDIT: He also has an Ocarina of Time one.

 

[Haloman800]

I can't even imagine how games would play on that controller.

 

[prowler]

I have a feeling if Sony made this controller instead, they wouldn't be getting as much heat.They actually thought of something like it a long time ago

Besides the point, if Sony did carry out something like this, they would get A LOT more hate than Nintendo.QUOTE(ShadowSoldier @ Sep 9 2011, 07:02 PM) Yeah if you're wreckless.

I think I played on my 3DS about two times, I hardly ever moved it.

So 3D just makes it 3D

Guild, you are a one man trolling show with an awesome fun factor. Hard at work to proove us that the 3DS is bad and always stating the facts. Please more

Really guys, just don't bother with the haters and trolls and have fun with your games, wether on 3DS, PSP or maybe later on PSV or WiiU. It doesn't matter.

On topic: I remember with the Wii there was similar talk because the devs got tethered Wiimotes with their devkits. And everything turned out well

How is he trolling? I agree with him, and he's not hating. HD does make things look better and 3D makes them look...3D. That's pretty much the best way to describe it.

Wait, wasn't this about the Wii U?

I thought much the same of 3D display before buying the 3DS. But while I still really don't care about 3D video (movies, tv), I have found it to be absolutely fantastic in games. Sure, its a gimmick. But its a friggin brilliant one.

 

[SpaceJump]

3D is a visual enhancement and so is HD. Just like HD 3D makes games look better. It's that simple.

EDIT:

They focus on both. The "gimmicks" add to the games.

Priceless

I wouldn't say that. In a good system, the features should benefit game development. Basically, the features should be based around what would be best for games; when games have to be bent out of shape to accommodate the gimmicks (3D, the Wii remote, etc.), it only hurts the system.

And, really, is the concept of thinking a piece of tech is cool but misapplied really that difficult to grasp?

Let me use the Kinect as an example. Great, promising technology, with a wide range of applications that could easily improve our day to day lives... instead, it is being squandered as a video game add on that doesn't work all that well. It is a gross waste of potential.

The tablet for the Wii U is basically similar; a cool piece of technology that is being pissed away as a stupid gimmick.

3D is a visual enhancement and so is HD. Just like HD 3D makes games look better. It's that simple.

And no. 3D doesn't make games look better, or at least, it hasn't yet.

I think it can, one day, but we just aren't there yet.

It makes the way one sees them different, but not necessarily better. While I can't factually say anything, I'm pretty sure (though not fully) that HD makes the images sharper, crisper, and...well, that's all I know about it. 3D more tricks your eyes into seeing the image in a different way, not really enhancing it at all.

This. Gahars, why did you wait so long to join the temp? You always have something useful to say.
