Look at the specs. A lot of people are saying it's not even as fast as the XBOX 360. Trust me, if Nintendo wasn't reputable for its 1st-party games, a lot of people would have given up on it.

And I'm not being biased. I would say the same thing about an XBOX 720 or PS4. While I do agree with Nintendo for coming out with a console, they have done a few mistakes:

1. The console is only nearly, if just as good, as the XBOX 360 and PS3. The next new consoles are coming in a year or too, both are rumored to be better than the Wii U.

2. They need to expand their base. Right now I only see it being catered toward young kids, hardcore Nintendo gamers, and families. Teens like me don't want a Wii U. We'd rather play Black Ops II and Madden, thank you.

3. The technology needs to improve: some had said the tablet is not that impressive, Microsoft may be using it's own tablets for the XBOX 720 (these tablets are sleeker anyway) and the microprocessor of the Wii U is not that impressive. Big games like Madden cannot be run well, and even games like Metro: Last Night have been cancelled for it because of the poor microprocessor.

1. Okay, but you still never tried it so how will you know for sure?

2. You'd rather play Black Ops II? Look at the games.

3. They were cancelled because they got an EARLY view at it. E3 only had 10 % of the full power.

1. That's true, but then again you haven't tried the Wii U. Even though I'm a Wii U hater, I actually want to try it and see what the technology is like.

2. I know Black Ops II is there, but is it as good as X360 and PS3? Does it have the fanbase and players?

3. No, they didn't.

i'm pretty sure it's been said they're making stuff like zombie games and whatever other gorefest you want onto the wii u

1st of all, I'm not a shooting game person. But other teens are. If the majority of teens play shooters, why would they buy a Wii U when in Christmas 2013 you can get the XBOX 720.

Explain how that will happen, because the system hasn't even announced, not to mention that M$ is trying to extend the 360's lifespan with the Kinect.

Re: Wii U Official Topic Thread

Time to put an (or at least TRY to) end this argument.

undefeatedgames wrote:

.. the Wii U is going to have 1.5 times better graphics than the XBOX 360. But what about the XBOX 720 (or whatever it will be called)? It will have SIX TIMES better graphics than the Wii U. SIX. That leaves the Wii U in the dust.

First of all, it won't have better graphics since 1080p is the maximum resolution for gaming consoles, tvs, etc. And that's the resolution of the Wii U, so it can't get much better than that, unless you're talking about 4K, but that kind of tech is really expensive (most likely way too expensive for Microsoft), not to mention that to view that resolution, you'll need a 4K TV, which costs about $25,000.

And second of all, games aren't played for graphics, they're played for FUN. All I hear today is people saying "Wow! Look at those graphics!!" Um, what about the gameplay? It's not all about graphics. I can just imagine someone saying "Yeah, the game is boring and takes 5 minutes to beat, but I like it because it has AWESOME GRAPHICS, YAY!!!!!!!!!!112634784843856SQUIRMUJERMEY."

undefeatedgames wrote:

XBOX 720 and PS4 will exist and already their specs prove they will be better than the Wii U.

Yes, because a game system that hasn't even been announced or released yet is more powerful than a system that has.

You were saying XBOX avatars were cartoony. Aren't Miis even more cartoony? You can customize your XBOX avy in so many ways, Miis just give him a colored shirt. No other shirts. No dogs for your Mii, etc.

Why is everything supposed to look realistic? They're video game avatars, they're allowed to have their own little cartoony looks that are different from our looks, they're not supposed to 100% every feature of ourselves. Plus, it's a video game avatar, a minor thing that you don't need to worry about. Remember, you can't escape from reality if everything looks like reality itself.

It's not even as good as the XBOX 360

Opinion.

both are rumoredto be better than the Wii U

RUMORED. Not confirmed. Might be true or might not.
And that's still an opinion.

And both of those games are on the Wii U too, both with exclusive features (playing without the TV) and a better resolution, thank you.

They need to expand their base. Right now I only see it being catered toward young kids, hardcore Nintendo gamers, and families.

Oh yeah! Black Ops 2, ZombiU, Madden and FIFA 13, Ninja Gaiden 3, Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 3, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Assassin's Creed 3, and a new Battlefield SO don't appeal to teens and adults! [/sarcasm]

So yeah, there you go.

Re: Wii U Official Topic Thread

I played a demo of Rayman Legends on the Wii U with a friend....

The co-op was amazing.

The Wii U was amazing. I want it now.

Yeah, but the developers can't even put the full game on there. They practically have to make them less fun so they can be played on the Wii U!

Let's see:
Black Ops 2 has local multiplayer on Wii U
I can agree with Madden and FIFA
Darksiders 2 comes with free DLC that normally costs money on other systems.
Don't know about all the others, but you can play on the Gamepad.

"less fun." Do I need to go over the opinion thing again?


And they're LAUNCH PORTS. Of course the quality is different, because those games have different features, good and pointless, on the Wii U. The console has only been out for 2 weeks, give it some time. The tech is new to developers, so some games could turn out to be a disappointment. Wait a few years, the system is only getting started with its lineup.

I still don't have a Wii U, but last night I played it at my friend's house. We laughed so hard in Nintendo Land when we saw the map for Mario Chase.
