Game

[Joe Molotov]

WiiU, I look just like Buddy Holly. Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Does anyone else smell that?  The musky scent of DWEEB?

I'm sure it will have fun games that play to its strengths, like the wii.  I'm sure Nintendo will make their fair share of mistakes, like the wii.  I also know I never commit this much ire and doomandgloom scenarios to something I claim not to be interested in.  Some of you certainly are of a special breed. 

Look, I understand.  Games are expensive, especially hardware.  I have to convince myself not to buy things that I really don't need, too.  But let's not come to such grand indictments ffs. Be cool, bras.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

So, Nintendo puts out a system of equal power to the 360 and PS3 like 6 years later, and expects it to sell? Anyone who would want something like that already has a 360 or PS3... I'm not sure I understand their strategy...

[Cerveza mas fina]

But the Wii hardly had any fun games 

[EmCeeGrammar]

And morrocans all want to grow up and be criminals!  Blanket statements and disregard for logic are your playthings.

I was OBVIOUSLY talking to the other pole posting above me.

Am I the only one who didn't think the Zelda HD stuff looked all that impressive? I mean, it was nice and all, but nothing all that different from anything else this current generation.

I certainly wouldnt mind playing Zeldda at that quality...

[Shaka Khan]

Zerruda HD is gonna be amazing omg

I keep reading people bagging on the Weeoo by saying that they'll wait until the real next gen starts (i.e. when the PS4 & 720 launch) implying that this is just a half step, incremental upgrade over the current machines.  That may or may not be true but the fact that it is more powerful than the current gen makes it more than likely this will be the common denominator for the next gen 3rd party games.  And since we're reaching a point of diminishing returns the differences between versions of some of these games are probably going to be nominal at best.  No 3rd party out there can afford to create these huge budgeted games without making everything cross platform.  1st party games aside, all these next gen console games are going to look pretty much like whatever the Weeoo is capable of.

ytmnd....good god.  That's still around?  I haven't seen a ytmnd in years.

http://bushlovesitbald.ytmnd.com/

I remember doing this one back in '05.  My only one.

Oh, wait. I did a stupid smile one too.

[Bildi]

It's interesting that while MS is 'taking away the controller', Nintenho is putting the player back on the couch with a bigger controller.

True.  Although the WiiU controller still has some damn waggle left in it.

Their last system was basically called Piss and sold like mad, who's to say Siren Noise won't be a global phenomenon?

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Uh oh.  First screen of an actual Wii U game in action.  Early or not, this aint looking good at all.

Some of the other shots look better:

er, no.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Some of the other shots look better:

Not by much.

And lol at GAF going into defense mode.  I'm sure this isn't anywhere near what the Wii U is capable of but lets call a fucking spade a spade.  This looks like shit right now, end of story.  All these ntards going on about "sounds interesting!" would be singing a different tune if this was some XBLA game...which it resembles right now.

Well I sure as hell hope they don't look like that pile of crap.

It looks okay, hardly mindblowing or anything like that. But it's not a smudgy mess of textures with no AA, so that's something.

[pilonv1]

If this was announced as a 360/PS3 game no one would care (and rightly so).

WiiU's Haze

It's now the new Red Steel.

Kudos for Ubisoft for realising launch consumers are the least quality conscious people around.

[iconoclast]

I'd rent that game. Where's my 360 version

Hey, I'm just saying the graphics aren't some horrible travesty, not that I wanna go out and buy it.

[Great Rumbler]

I wouldn't take much away from these four pictures, though, other than that, yes, the WiiU is more powerful than the Wii.

[Trent Dole]

They don't even have the fucking specs finalized yet so nobody knows.

[cool breeze]

the first hints of online point to a per game, or at least per publisher, system ala PS2.  at least for ubisoft.  hopefully that isn't actually the case.

[archie4208]

PS2 caliber online would be an improvement. 

[cool breeze]

oh, and no Gamecube backwards compatibility.   Odd omission, but maybe they have an online store or something.

[BlueTsunami]

Nothing says HD system like a console that has a hybrid controller peripheral that takes your eyes away from your 65" HDTV

Also the next person that suggests this would be awesome for racing games as a rear view mirror is going to get curb stomped via the internet

The only positive thing I can see coming from this thing is implementing touch mini games via the controller in certain games (maybe like a lockpicking mini game in Elder Scrolls for instance). Though this is a bit of a double edged sword if it means the proliferation of mini games in genres we've never seen them used in.

[archie4208]

They probably just don't want to keep the ports in and are too lazy to code the way GC playback works any differently.  That said, Nintendo usually ditches the BC for the system before with a new system, and I can't rule out that part of why they do that might be to start building demand for eventual re-releases.

Upscaled Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine.  Only $39.99 each! 

F-Zero GX will be ignored.  :'(

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Good lord.  Reading GAF over the last 24 hours reminded me just what an awful subspecies nintards really are.  I've been ignoring them for the past 5 years, just like I have with the Wii, but now they're unavoidable.

Burn them all.

i would love a killer klowns from outer space game

Oh man I love that film.

I listened to Violent J on a podcast a few weeks ago, he's awesome.

[BlueTsunami]

Second shot may have some smoothing applied but other than that I think it looks pretty good. Still not modern ultra PC build high though but good is relative and when that relativeness is against the Wii, well, this is light years ahead.

[Bildi]

That third screen with the pod looks cool.

[Sho Nuff]

Weeooooooo

It's fun to say Weeooooooooo

Nintendo employees get mad when you call it Weeooooooooo

Weooooooooo!!!

HW looks about the same size as Wii but certainly "longer". Also I guess they saved a bunch of room not having to leave space for the GC controller/memcard sub board.

How will FPSes be played on this? Where's the "better than KB&M" remote tracking?

This reveal is full of questions.

Like on the other consoles if you use the tabletcon (with weapon/item selection on the subscreen maybe?), or optionally with Wiimote/ninchuck. Oh wow that was easy.

IBM's embedded dynamic random access memory (test chip shown here) will help deliver a thrilling new game experience to Nintendo fans. The new memory technology, a key element of the new Power microprocessor that IBM is building for the Nintendo Wii U console, can triple the amount of memory contained on a single chip, making for extreme game play.

ahahahaha

cant wait to see ninthings reactions

[Diunx]

Amazing

the Killer something game uses both classic controller and a gyro based system similar to the iPad2/iPhone4, Vita and 3DS.  basically the tablet acts as a 'window' to the game world.  as you move it around in real life, the camera in the game will move relative to the character, if that makes sense. 

[T-Short]

Uh borys. The Wii U still supports the Wiimote. If that's your kind of thing.

[naff]

pretty sure wiimote will still be one of the key game controllers for this system. Most nintendo games aren't single player

[cool breeze]

yeah, that one alien shooter concept demo they showed off had other players using wii remotes to play against the upad player.

when people say wiiu can only use one controller, they mean one of these tablet pads.  you can have 4 wii remotes plus 1 tablet pad, etc.  nintendo will probably release a standalone classic controller too (that doesn't need a wii remote connection).

[maxy]

If it's not in the box,then they can forget about dev support.

[maxy]

Devs make games for for the things that are in the box,the rest is just marketing babble.Barely any addon manages to sell well enough to get dev support.
If somebody wants to point at things he can do that right now with PS3.And by the time Wii U gets out PS3 will be dirt cheap.

PS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wi U

Kinect is a different case,very different,backed by MS and their media expansion dreams.

[T-Short]

Uh borys. The Wii U still supports the Wiimote. If that's your kind of thing.

It's Borys. And the Wiimote is not included in the system. That's the mistake part.

Not included? Hehe. OK.

1.) How the fuck do you know

and

2.) If it isn't, are you aware that Nintendo has sold 85+ million Wiis? I'd suspect some of those nintards bought Wiimotes with it. These are the people who are going to buy the Wii U.

[cool breeze]

the estimated resolution of the controller screen is 854 x 480

[etiolate]

I enjoyed all the graphic whore experts saying the videos looked worse than ps360 and then it being revealed they were the ps360 versions

[Sho Nuff]

Lol the screen is 480p

The p stands for poor
