Nintendo Wii U

Disscusion thread about the new console from Nintendo

Pros: Graphics look pretty tight If you have no tv or something happens to it, you still can play it on it's new controller You can draw things on tekken characters for more customization xD More hardcore games Still can use old controllers/motes Hi-def Could easily make 3d games with the cam on the controller Backwards compatibility for wiiCons: Street fighter sure is gonna be hard to play xD. Controller is pretty big. If the ps3 controller already costs a fortune, as well as the wii mote.......I'd imagine the new controller is
gonna cost at least 60 to 100+ dollars @_@. Good luck having friends over with that! You probably will not want
your friend to touch it xD 'Wii U' - has got to be the dumbest name I ever heard lol. Im still laughing at the name :P Unsure if Gamecube games are backwards compatible Many ceiling fans and windows will meet their end xDI can't believe that Udraw for wii actually foreshadowed what the wii 2, I mean wii U (lol) was gonna be. Nice one nintendo, nice one. Who woulda thunkit :)

I'm still unsure.
IT HAS SMASH BROS
I wanna see the graphics and specs.
IT HAS SMASH BROS
Some okay 3rd party support so far. It's already a step up from the Wii.
IT HAS SMASH BROS I'M SOLD

SMASH BROSAlsoiPAD CONTROLLERS!!!!Just THINK of the many things you can do with the controllers!

It looks like the controller won't play as comfortable as the Wiimote+Nunchuk imo.

Replying to #5

The Wiimote isn't comfortable, you're just used to it.The Name is stupid as hellThe controller is bigThe Controller is probably expensive.No need for a stupid Camera in the controllerAssassins Creed hell yeah!smash bros hell yeah!

I like it.

Looks good, been nintendo though I doubt its gonna be high spec.

I don't know how I'm gonna hold that controller.
My hands are so small ;-;

Is it me or they just named the console from the sound of a siren?Not buying this. The controller....looks too costly, looks ridiculous and uncomfortable. I feel like I'm gonna buy another handheld if I'm going to buy an extra controller.

@sylar1000, I found the wiimote and nuncuck combi comfortable the fisrt time i touched them.@shinra358, Brawl is fully playable with th wii mote and nunchuk, you just need to get hang of the controls if you are used to the gcn controller

Wii U... seriously? Pee U? Pee on U? Nintendo Pee on U LOL XDhahahaha they said motion controller is going to revolutionize the industry and yet they go back to old school d-pad.anyway joke aside, the new console look really good... i wish they some up with a better name.... you know a name that we can take seriously....this time i might going to buy it IF they release a pokemon game on it.

Cant say much about the console, games are at early development as reggie said at the e3 conference, so i cant say much about the wii u, what we saw are just demos at early stage also its to early to say anything about this... early early early, at least i know that the graphics are better than the ps3 and xbox 360, the ibm multicore processor its from 2008-2009, and the one on ps3 and xbox is from 2006

why

I will buy it eventually... I am a big nintendo fan, so even if I don't like it overall, it's nice to have a complete collection

I don't have any of the current next gen consoles so this is a definite get for me. It's like a console version of the ds. I'm exited for this!

Will get when games are actually shown on the machine. GOOD GAMES.

An oversized DS?
Thanks but I'll stick with the 3DS.

I think Nintendo has forgotten something important. The controller should be developed in such a way that you forget it's there. Minimize movements required to maximize immersion into the game. Removing the line between you and the system. The Wii-mote was a step in the wrong way to try and reach that goal. Now, adding a screen to the controller will be even further away from the ultimate goal of a good controller. Either you will hold it up so you can glance at the TV Screen and the Controller Screen at the same time, or you will be forced to glance downwards to view the screen, and removing your fingers from the buttons to touch the touchscreen (I'm sure I can safely assume there is a touch screen on this).All in all, another gimmick controller from Nintendo. Leaving it prone to shovelware games clogging the system. Pushing away good developers or forcing them to add said gimmicks to their WiiU releases. Just like with my preference on the DS, good games shouldn't focus on the Touch screen. Having the option to use it is ok, but forcing you to use it is a mistake.
