Again, I can't WAIT to see those graphics.

Ok Ok OK. LETS SLOW DOWN.

This topic is about Wii U, not flame wars against Nintendo and Xbox 360.

Anyway, in comparison, Nintendo has actually been one whole company aimed at gaming, not gaming and computing, JUST GAMING. It's probably the only company along with SEGA that is still aimed at that. Give them credit. I mean Nintendo is where we all start gaming when we're young, it's like the comfort food of gaming. And now because they want to extend their age line everyone is like "OMIGOSH YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU IS ONLY FOR LITTLE KIDDIES. YOU IS NEVER BEATS XBOX"? Does that really seem right?

And now we're talking about styles of games. XBOX clearly are not for kids. They're for when you're a teen. Nintendo are for kids. They're about to extend, publishing zombie and shooting games. Tell me how that is for kids.

Nuff said. Everyone who is on Microsoft's point of view needs to see the WHOLE picture.

I completely agree, but I think Nintendo needs to cater to teens. Because they don't, I'm mad at them.

Though I have to admit, I was more amazed than I thought I would be when Nintendo had their Wii U conference yesterday.

They cater to teens pretty well.

If you look in a couple gaming magazines, Nintendo and other companies are equally enjoyed by adult reviewers.

Just because the game looks like a cartoon doesn't mean it's fun.
I'm a teen and I play tons of Mario games. Heck, me and my 16 year old brother have been playing Mario Part 9 a lot recently.
Plus, they have the Legend of Zelda which is a hardcore game that's still appropriate for little kids so they have pretty big audience there.

I think the Wii U will fail. Why? If it's $250, the tablet is probably going to have bad quality. It's it $350 or greater, the tablet may be ok, but the console will be too expensive.

Also, Nintendo has come out with weak games lately, and personally it doesn't suit teenagers. I mean come on, when was the last time you bought a Wii game that was actually fun. Even Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros. Wii get old after a while. The Wii U needs new franchises other than Mario and Pokemon that are actually exciting. Back when I was a Nintendo fanboy (now XBOX 360 is the way to go!), Project H.A.M.M.E.R. actually sounded fun.


Finally, it needs an update of technology. I know, I know... [b]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.

Personally, I think the Wii U is a horrible idea, and Nintendo will suffer because of it.

That's like saying "in 100 years Nintendo will make a 4D Console. Let's all save up money for it! Now the 3DS and all other gaming companies are dead"

What matters is the present, not stuff which is not even confirmed.

I disagree.
100 years is too far. 1 year? Not at all. Save your money and in a year make your money count!

IMO the Wii U will be pretty good. From viewing the trailer it looks like it has a big chance. It certainly has a nice touch to it. Like motion control as well as touch control tablet :3

Just Dance 4 is on it!

Ok, back on topic...
Will the Wii U have the normal, original, wii remotes? Does anyone know? I was basing my whole argument of Nintendo not knowing what games to have on their console on the remotes, I'm wondering if it's still valid with the Wii U.

Yep. The Wii U is compatible with the Wiimotes. They're still a highly needed accessory.

After seeing the trailer, I agree, to a certain point. Do you guys remember why the Wii began to lose sales? For one thing, the technology on XBOX 360 and PS3 was better. Another, XBOX 360 and PS3 lowered their prices.

My point is, the Wii U may be a huge success until holiday 2013. While that does give them a surge in their sales, I think that Microsoft and Sony, who are still developing their console, will create something better. If they go the tablet route, they could use their own tablets or instead team up with another company. Imagine if Microsoft and Apple teamed up (though that would probably never happen)! An iPad/XBOX 720 combo would really hurt the competition.

Except for the fact that M$ has he 360 standing until 2015. At least that's what they hope.


The Wii U already had a whole bunch of franchises Nintendo previously didn't have (Tekken, Ghost Recon, etc.) The reason is that Nintendo's competitors have yet to announce their 8th gens (aside from the Vita). Nintendo's family policy has always been centered around innovation. They decided to slip in before the others. Good move on their part. They've reserved all of the big ticket seats. Nintendo came in late during the 4th gen, and despite the awesome Sega Genesis, many people consider them the victors. I think that this was because they had already established themselves as a big player and the savior of the post-1983 crashed market. However, their current competitors have also been well established. They've decided to win the other way around now. They tricked their competitors into thinking they'd stand strong for years to come, especially since M$ thinks the Kinect solves everything. Now, they've stumped the plans for the future market. They're off to a great start.


Also, @funelephant we've known about it being on the Wii U ever since the Usher fiasco at E3.

And it's on the other consoles too, and you cannot cheat with it on the Kinect

Why do you care if people cheat on it? What's the point of getting the game if you're just going to cheat on it?

For teh lulz.

YES!

Apparently, my wii is broken. We looked at gamestop and they are copying all data on a SD card and putting it on a new wii. After the Wii U drops price i'm getting it.

Hmmm... SKYWARD SWORD, MAYBE?

Don't make a topic about something you hate. Really. How about I make a topic about the 720, and then rant about how it's going to fail? How would you feel?

@the part about teenagers: I'm a teenager. Just because you're a certain age doesn't mean you can't like Mario. Did you see the trailer for ZombiU? It looks awesome.

Microsoft a few years later comes out with kinect.

Not sure if the kinect was a intenitonal ripoff, but yeah, I agree with the Playstation Move. I mean srsly.

Also, yeah, why start a topic to discuss something, rant about how bad it is, and then shoot down people with a difference of opinion?
I don't play a lot of video games, and I'm not really a FPS gamer type of guy, so whatever

Another one:
Nintendo shows off its wii u gamepad.
Microsoft, at this e3, shows off its Smartglass, using mobile phones to do a lesser version of the wii u gamepad.
Sony, well, we'll see how they copy.

Finally, the start of Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation come a few years after a revolution in gaming: the n64. They wait for innovation from nintendo to jump in.

microsoft and sony simply feed off nintendo's genius, and i actually have evidence.

Thank you. Just don't expect anyone to listen to you, as they're apparently having too much fun playing first person shooters.

Yes, we should. It makes no sense that he created an official topic just to rant.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. 




But while Microsoft and Sony are making new consoles, it's not confirmed if will be titled the Xbox 720 and PS4. And better graphics? The Wii U is Fully HD Capable, so I think that proves you wrong.



Also, the Wii U WILL have games for teenagers: Assasin's Creed, ZombiU, an Untitled Battlefield, Ninja Gaiden 3, and BLACK OPS 2.



I really like the feature to play away from the TV. I think It's gonna be pretty helpful when my mom has to watch her shows.


The Wii U, according to the Nintendo Chief, will have a reasonable price unlike the 3DS When it came out ($250). $300 might sound just a LITTLE bit overpriced, but then again, it will come with the console, a gamepad, and a game.
