Wii U

[Who Really Cares?]

Its not something for gamers to freak out about [yet] but Nintendo wont need the negative comments coming from devs so soon after the console launches. But then hey some moaned about DVD and the 360 is still going strong.

Looks like it didn't turn out a complete mess after all

Most the comments seem to be about if the reviewer is male or female

Unreal 4 can run on it so may not be all that bad. Widely used engine and maye much easier to port. The only thing for Wii U that has my interest is Rayman Legends and Boynetta 2. Few other games are a interest but not sure at full price like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101. However Wii U nneds something like GTA and I mean GTAV



EDIT Seems Dice is bringing BF4 to it

Dunno why, but I'm just not interested in the Wii U still. Thought at least by now they'd have something that would grab my attention. But nope. To me, Nintendo seems to be playing catch up with the 360 and ps3. The problem, of course, is what happens when the MS and Sony announce there new consoles.

Regardless of MS and Sony, I'm just not confident in Nintendo's ability. They say there going to get 3rd party support, and I'm sure they'll get some. But how much and for how long? Some say, "I buy Nintendo consoles for there own games anyway". That's a fair point, but for me it's not enough. They keep spewing out the same franchises (Zelda, Mario etc), but completely ignore others. Where's F-Zero, Starfox, A console pokemon game like the handhelds etc..

Had the controller in my hands 30 minutes ago, at a Worten store.
No big impressions, nor positive nor negative.
Just wouldn't want to play a game with it for more than a couple hours. It's not heavy but still.

Seems the reports of the GPU being a R7XX series were wrong but a newer GPU since it is after all a GPGPU of Radeon E6760.

I'm waiting for a console with a GPGPGPUGPGPUGPGPGPU Radeon LFGM9984.32.
Until that day, I'm not buying a new console.

Don't act like you're buying the WiiU, mister. :p

Wii U may be a big RPG platform in Japan.


TBH it's already halfway there as it has DQX and Monster Hunter. Monolith developing a title for it and Mistwalker.
is. Be wierd to see a Nintendo console be king of JRPG's. Not had that since SNES. Scares me really as since NOA hates RPG's like Bernie Stolar did,may never see half of them.

whats funny is that those are two of the only games that don't, i even tried it on a few games that said they didn't (like Sega Racing Transformed) and it did.

That's good to know but odd that 2 Nintendo games don't support it.

Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime reckons third-party games like Call of Duty “look dramatically better” on Wii U.

In an interview with CNN Fils-Aime said the Wii U specifications are “more graphically intensive” than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Here's a transcript of the interview, below.

CNN: In terms of specs, the Wii is pretty much on par with the Xbox 360 and the PS3. But we know Sony and Microsoft are set to release new consoles next year. Aren't you worried about the timing and that the Wii U will be a generation behind your rivals?

Reggie Fils-Aime: Well first off I have to correct you. The specs are quite different than the competitive systems, much more graphically intensive. If you do a side by side comparison you would actually see third-party games like Call of Duty look dramatically better on our system.

In terms of what competition's going to do in the future, we'll see. We know based on our own development this two screen gaming experience really is the next innovation consumers are gravitating to.

It's selling extremely well here in the Americas. Already stocks are quote low in the marketplace. We're rapidly replenishing. So for us, certainly the consumer is deciding the innovation is well worth the investment.

Already gamers have questioned Fils-Aime's comments, which contradict Digital Foundry's analysis of the graphical prowess of the Wii U.

In Richard Leadbetter's recently-published Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Wii U Face-off he wrote:

“The Wii U version matches the look of the Xbox 360 game and thus gives it an edge visually over the PlayStation 3 release, but unfortunately it comes up well short in terms of performance - an aspect that is all-important to the playability of a COD title.

“The frame-rate variance is such that the PS3 game feels generally smoother, while the 360 release feels like an entirely different game in the more demanding levels. Bearing in mind the commonalities in hardware design between Wii U and Xbox 360, we can't help but feel somewhat disappointed that Black Ops 2 under-performs so noticeably.”

Meanwhile, Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, has expressed his doubts about the Wii U, out in the UK this Friday.

In a piece on Nintendo in the New York Times Bushnell said he was “baffled” by the Wii U.

“I don't think it's going to be a big success,” he said. Then, commenting on video game consoles in general, he added: “These things will continue to sputter along, but I really don't think they'll be of major import ever again.

“It feels like the end of an era to me.”
