Wii U

Because Sony has already proven that they can appease both Core gamers and Casual gamers. Nintendo, not so much.

Only PSV is proving that, just like the WiiU is.

I didn't see you point.

Because you are taking my statement on the CONSOLE level, I'm speaking about how Nintendo has been a casual, family friendly family for YEARS, not really making many core games. Sony has proven they can do both since the PS1 has come out. Do you see where I'm going with this?

They've been family friendly for only 2 generations. Before the Gamecube it wasn't like that.

Sorry Nintendo. That is the WORST controller I have ever seen for a couple of reasons.
1. Price. That 6 inch touch screen won't come cheap. I reckon that's going to go for £50+
2. Size. Its a big-ass rectangle. Its about as ergonomic as a giant NES controller.
3. Layout. Sorry Nintendo that control layout is just gonna kill it. Due to the large size everything's spread out and will just cause a load of trouble for playing any serious games.

Here's my advice to Nintendo: Keep this one for the casual market, maybe it'll sell well. Personally I don't think so but whatever. Make a redesigned, lighter, smaller, more ergonomic and above-all cheaper version for proper gamers. If I'm Playing Zelda I don't want a giant inventory screen between my hands, I just want a small one, around the size of a DSi XL screen. Everything shrinks down to a more manageable size for anybody without giant hands and we can play it well. Everybody wins

So basely the same thing,but smaller. Making it "hardcore"?

No not really tbh. When did the word casual and hardcore in gaming even came into play?


Even if it was true. They trying to appeal to the "hardcore" market, yet you giving them beef?

Really? I never saw any Sony console as family console.

I think the whole Tabletroller idea is pretty damn stupid IMO, but people will eat it up just the same.

Just don't buy this thing based solely on "LOL WE ARE DOING CORE GAMES TOO DERP"
What about the PSV? It seems a lot of people are buying it because of the very same reason.

They have, and this is only one of many examples.

Edit: Why is it when I don't go with the popular opinion, I seem to be labeled a "Fanboy?" I don't own one Sony product, and every single console both handheld and otherwise has seen the inside of my home. I give everything a fair shake, but I'm not scared to give my first impressions.

Because you slowly turn to fanboyism whenever you try to prove a point to someone, and grab something ridiculous to make an accusation against a company with. I try to accept your opinions, but each post it just gets harder and harder.

I didn't know having a strong personal opinion is fanboyism. Thanks for clarifying.

Sony can't do casual as well as you are saying. Their consoles are always aimed at core gamers, Nintendo for the wii went down the casual route with great success. Now they're trying to do both, and you know what I'll wait and see on price, games line up, online, etc. before writing them off like you have.

 

[Liv2MsTrb8T]

Sooooo....Anyone know what Retro Studios is making for this thing?

i haven't been on this account in 2 years

Nope, it's after you pass that point.

 

[blackrider]

Ah...... how apple changed the world. The should have just made an iPad Wii contoller app rather than ripping us off with this thing.

Okay, then..I guess i'm a fanboy...not sure of what though. If i'm a Sony fanboy I might be the worst one in history, since I sold both my PSP and PS3...

But thank you for your incredible insight. I would have never known how much of a fanboy I was without your help

whats the batt life of an ipad a day when your not constantly using it?

[Nujui]

When did we start talking about Sony and fanboyism?

That's a burn!

 

[KingVamp]

I'm pretty sure the control has or can do more stuff than the ipad.

 

[tenentenen]

People seriously need to come down from their high horse.

Are you seriously going to judge the entire system, based on the samll details that have been released? There is little information, and people are already jumping to conclusions, and making snap decisions of how well this will do in the long run?

Can't anyone just hear more about it, let the information be properly layed out, and presented, and for pete's sake TRY IT YOURSELVES before condeming a system that was JUST announced?

Nobody can know for sure exactly what the future will hold with the new console. What we do know is this:

• This is new hardware
• this is a new controller
• it has some decent graphics, though we have little idea of how powerful it actually is
• based on the demo reel, there are some never before seen concepts(throwing stars, golf, pirate rythm game, etc)

People need to give real evidence of a failure before saying it is such, and allow time to play out.
I'm not saying this console will be amazing, but there's no need to write it off so soon.

the final price tag will decide for me im already sold if its not as expensive as the ps3 launch price

 

[Seraph]

It can't. The battery life of this controller should be much better than the iPad in use. All this controller does is provide video and input to the actual console.

No. Except for buttons, the iPad has everything it can have.

 

[EnigmaXtreme]

Am i reading this correctly, the damn things gonna support an external USB drive as additional storage

HELL YEAH!

 

[Wizerzak]

How come the WiiU doesn't have it's own USN place on the front page yet? It should be one of the ones in gold pinned to the top, far more important than most other news on there atm.
