Wii U

[stylow]

It would be great if you can watch DVDs and store movies on it/play movies off a USB
Cause the idea of streaming movies from the controller sounds great.
A remote with a touch screen

Anyway, Microsoft may counter this with a console full based around kinect.
Sony?
I think they have lost...

Why have they lost i mean with the vita the could do almost everything you can with the wii U

Sony PS4-considered dead

Shouldnt we have a Wii U sub section in the console forum section? If someone puts in a PSVita why not Wii U

Give it time.
The NGP/PSV section has been there for a while.

uff....I was thinking it was just a new controller (wich looks exactly like the stuff I saw on neogaf)...lol, god thanks its new hardware too!
Games are HD and graphics are fine, but its clearly no leap forward...looks on par with 360/ps3

would love to get some technical details

yep, but the console is about 10 times smaller.

Nintendo has COMPLETELY lost the market of the casual gamer. Little children, older people, and the casual gamer will HATE the complexity of this new MASSIVE remote. Too many buttons and controls, and plus something else to keep your eyes on. Nintendo put TOO much effort towards fitting in to every gamer market where they are now losing the market of the children and grandma's. They tried way to hard to appease the hard core gamers. Nintendo should not have even wasted their effort. Complete fail.

Complexity? You have to be kidding me. The thing is a GIANT TOUCH SCREEN. How is that complex? It also has the exact same buttons as the Wii Remote, plus triggers. Really? Complex? ...Wow.

Agreed could'nt be simpler. It now completely depends on developers, not hardware anymore.

That's stupid.

The PS3 and XBOX 360 are still living out their life span.

You don't even know what's going to happen next.

I like the controller actually.

It gives developers a lot of options, like the Vita.

Motion, touch and duo analog! Man same as Vita, lots of variety.

I hope that 3rd parties don't feel the need to use touch, motion, etc. All at once, in the one game.

I hope they'll incorporate, BUT separate these features and let us choose instead of cramming everything in one mode.

Exactly what I mean, I'd hate to be trying to play a game, and having to flail my arms around whilst trying to focus on touch screen AND button controls as well.

The online had better be good. Even the 3DS' isn't great.

if this gamepads range its at least 20 ft ill be a happy camper can play from bed like a portable or on tv (bedroom is next to the Gaming center room), I love how the new pad looks I been waiting for big controllers and not the small thingies we have now this its just like the classic gamepad with a Ipod in the middle, seems awesome but im sure those will cost quite a bit just hope the console comes with one. None the less I cant wait for this one to come out I just hope more RPG's come out on it. Something like TWEWY using both screens in HD would be awesome.

Looks like we might be able to use 2 New Controllers on the system. That busts the single controller myth.

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

What will the WiiU cases look like, i predict the plastic will be lightblue to distinguish it from Wii

Erm...unfortunately, I don't think that'll be the case. I just happened to read this page:
Shigeru Miyamoto"Our basic premise is that you can use one with a system," Miyamoto told the site. He detailed further that asking players to use more controllers started to beg the question of why not just find a way to use a 3DS as a Wii U controller.

Don't think the idea of a single controller Wii U is set in stone, though. Miyamoto discussed the notion of friends bringing over their controllers. Would friends be able to play against other friends on one system?

"We are doing research about if someone brings their controller to their friend's house and they want to play together on Wii U to whether or not something like that would be possible."

I haven't heard the exact contents of the "myth" (since when do rumors take barely a day to become myths anyway

), but this information makes me think that most (if not all) local multiplayer games for the machine will rely on current wiimotes for the extra players.

speculating on the heft and price (in my opinion) are silly. from what im hearing, it's no more heavy than an ipad, maybe lighter(though much of the heft in a ipad comes from that batteries, and i would hope the wii u has good bat. life). and as far as cost goes, i don't foresee nyko or madcatz or anyone else making a 3rd party replica of the wii u controller. i'd like to think a proprietary controller would be cheaper.

Wow, The Wii U is backwards compatible with all Wii games

My guess is it's because the components don't differ much from the wii.
