Wii U

[Anakir]

Controller is ugly. Layout is dumb (why would you put the analog on top at the right hand side?) Controller will kill your wallet, not the system. Most likely won't buy a Wii2. Also, my main reason to buy Nintendo home consoles were for Smash Bros. which I will not buy for the Wii U even if it is being made since Brawl was such a huge disappointment to me.

I think you mean Nintendo copy pasta-ed this from Sony. Look up PS3 PSP Remote Play.

The feature never kicked off.

Besides, what about the Super Game Boy for the SNES? Or Pokemon Stadium for the N64?

But this console, you don't have to buy anything apart the normal system. That was always a downside for me with nintendo things, you had to buy many peripherals.

[PolloDiablo]

sony will "ctrl+c / ctrl+v" this new game controller idea integrating the PSVita with the PS3

No, I mean that Sony will copy this controller scheme just like they did with the Wiimote

Honestly, the controller is just a damn tablet with buttons. I guess that can be ugly to some but just looks like a controller with a tablet in the middle...

Who knows the design might change...right now the stick position is almost like the DS3 except the sticks are on top....not that different.

Why not? Just because all other controllers haven't done it that way doesn't mean that position is a bad one. Different, but not necessarily bad. Depending on the placement of your hands, it could very well work great that way.

Any links to comments from those that actually tried it hands on?

So its confirmed Sakurai is working on Smash Bros. for both 3DS and WiiU. Fuck. Smash Bros is gonna look even worse.

What gives you that idea?

You do understand that they don't have to have the same game assets to interact with each other, right?

Yeah, the games will almost definitely have differences.

TBH this is the problem with people who think graphics are everything... Like Ono once said they could have done SFIV with stickfigures and it still would be SFIV and imo the same applies for SSB!

So I imagine it is going to be the same game on WiiU and on 3DS but it will just look different on either respective console. Maybe they`ll even have cloudsaves... Who knows!?

No, his logic is just terrible. Why would they game look worse on a more powerful system? Why would the 3DS version be the lead platform govern what the game will have(a game that has only been on consoles)? Why would any of this be the case when the Wii U is definitely more powerful than the Wii?

He thinks the graphics on the Wii U are going to be the same as the graphics on the 3DS.

 

[Slimmmmmm]

I myself can't wait to get a few of these as soon as they hit the shelves

The possibilities are beyond imagination for now until we get our grubby mitts on them for real.

I REALLY hope they allow enough room for saves, this was my biggest problem with the Wii. I have two kids and they both have a Wii and a main one in the living room. The constant juggling of my daughters saves (all big 120+ block games) was obviously a problem early on and was a real pita...yes with original bought games it never took long to run out of room.

The HD was needed, but imho graphics are low on the list.

Playability is gonna be great with the new interaction and I myself can't wait to write some basic homebrew apps once it's hacked as I've spent a long time making a web server at home that works with the psp and ds for portability and the Wiis and pcs for on a big screen and allows all sorts of cool things, but is now made obsolete with this. I wasted my time, but am smiling so hard...

One thing I'm worried about is that I've not saw any mention of the GameCube...it will work with all my Wii stuff, but what about all my GC stuff...

Drums, dancemat, steering wheels, wavebirds etc Seems it's not going to support these, well officially

This might be good if....soz...when it gets hacked if we can take GC to it too, but we wont get use of the controllers etc, which I personaly liked but suggests to me that the quality GC games will be remade and resold to us all, I bet I need to rebuy some Mario games from back in the days of NES that have been remade and sold to me over and over for hundreds of pounds over the years.

I've also not seen much mention of the DS/i/3DS and how that will come into play.

Overall, imho it looks fooooking amazing and the possibilities are enormous. Lets hope they lack proper security and we get Mario War type homebrew taking advantage of the epic control system, a GC loader...from HDD

and a WiiUMc that can easily be ported over and built on top of.

Homebrew on this thing could be jaw droppingly full of features and I'm sure some devs will blow our minds.

*EDIT*
Oh and the slab in the hands having a built in accelerometer scares me

 

[DjoeN]

Can't wait to get my hands on this new Nintendo console

I will sure buy one (pre-order asap when i can)
(Prolly same for any other new console

)

It's shallow logic.

I want to be able to buy three controllers and not exceed the price of the system. :/

 

[DSGamer64]

I like the new controller. Really want to try it out and I could see potential in what developers do. Like in racing games I could see all the tachometer and lap times display on the controller etc.

Cause ya know, taking your eyes off the road to check your times and speed during a racing game makes complete sense.

Also, most retarded name for a console to date. Honestly, are the people working at Nintendo snorting coke while they come up with names for their consoles, same goes for their ideas on how to "improve" gaming which if anything they are just making it worse for themselves in particular.

that's why the system will be the price of 4 controllers!
