As i said you can use your external hardrive for it.  How are people quickly forgettign that?

I didn't forget that. Still doesn't change the fact that two of the current home consoles on the market RIGHT NOW offer OVER SEVEN TIMES more space the the most expensive Wii U SKU. That's pathetic.

But then again you can use your 1 TB external hardrive for the WiiU instead of Nintendos own haard drives like MS and Sony did.  And those only hold up to 160 GB?

PS3 uses standard laptop hard drive. I think you can put as big a hard drive in that thing as you can get.

2gb ram is exciting to you?

Why wouldn't it? It's double what we were expecting. Ditto for internal storage, but 4x for that.

It's not even 2gigs.

1 gig for game and 1 for the OS.

Yes motherfucker, you heard right. This fucking turd of an OS requires 1 gigs of fucking RAM.

VISTA REDEEMED.

[Himu]

That's like saying, you pull down a guys trousers, expecting a 3 inch dick, but it's really 4 inches, and you jump up in the air with a fist pump screaming,"AT LEAST IT WASN'T 3 INCHES"

LESS BAD > MORE BAD

Japan, Nintendo's about to make you its bitch.

[Tasty]

Shitty MCD's trolling aside guess which game looks more fun?

Yup, Mario.

The second one's a game? Looked like a scene from TDKR and I was all

[Himu]

DQX is already out for Wii and thankfully, for all the DQ fans out there, we may not have to suffer by buying a Nintendo console again because DQ11 is likely to be on 3ds AND offline.

Both consoles ship with drives up to 320GB (Sony supports bigger laptop drives for the PS3 too) but please explain to me why I should be expected to buy an external hard-drive when both other systems offer more space at a lower price and I guarantee you the PS3/Xbox The Third will offer more in a little over a years time?

Because stockholm syndrome.

Let's see what the console failure rate is like for the next 360 because of that HDD.

SSD's.

That's Halo 4.

[Himu]

To be fair to Andy poo, who gives the slightest fuck about Halo 4? The other day I was in Gamestop buying a steam wallet card as a gift for a friend, and saw they had a Halo 4 ad on the tv.

"Huh." I said, as I scratched my nut sack. "Another one of those, eh?"

[MCD]

Andy

If you think that is from a movie scene then oh boy, Wii U graphics gonna be hardcore porn for you.

Lower price?

Generic USB hardrive 320Gb is $45.

Xbox 320GB hard drive is $62.

[maxy]

Premium?

Nintendo copying M$ 

Also 1GB for Nintendo OS 

maybe they are planning to install Windows

[Oblivion]

I modified my expectations for the Wii-U's specs so many times that I don't even know if the confirmed RAM amount was above or below my expectations.

[Damian79]

A $200 Xbox 360 plus that $62 drive is still less than the 32GB Wii U and has more space, which is my point.

Why not just get the $250 WiiU and the $45 hard drive?   It only costs 30 bucks more?

EDIT: the 32 GB WiiU is for idiots.

[Cerveza mas fina]

The WiiU isn't even competitively priced compared to PS360, what a clusterfuck 

At least the Wii was cheaper then the 360! How can they, 6 years down the road release something that costs more then the 360?

[Damian79]

we don't know if it's 250 yet, mind.  26,500 yen is over $300.

and in japan, that 32 gb model gives you access to the premium points, which if you plan on going digital with your purchases (and I'd think if you're talking about bigger hard drives, you are), you'd be an idiot to pass up.

Oh shit i've been GG'ed.  I thought premium points are for all sku's.

[Damian79]

Why not just get the $250 WiiU and the $45 hard drive?   It only costs 30 bucks more?

Because why should I make an additional purchase beyond the system? In TWOTHOUSANDTWELVE console storage for PREMIUM CONSOLES shouldn't be 32GB. Imagine the ridicule Sony or Microsoft would get with such a decision in next gen consoles. But oh man, we can ignore Nintendo's clear failure here because of all the wimsy they're packing into those 32GB.

That is for form factor fools or i thought it was.  WiiU is still smaller than the 360 slim because of the sd card storage.

[Oblivion]

And 1G for the OS is 

[maxy]

From my end, it's the fact that people on GAF are legitimately saying 32GB is enough for "heavy downloaders". Yeah, maybe if you're downloading NES roms.

I'll grant, judging by the last few home consoles Nintendo released, 32 GB might cover every game I want for it for the entire life of the system.

This time console has 25GB medium,22.5 MB/s(max transfer rate?)--1GB under a minute.

But then again Nintendo is not Sony,25GB for a Mario game--that would be a big shocker

[Cerveza mas fina]

And 1G for the OS is 

Yeah wtf total 

Nintendo coders must be monkeys!

[pilonv1]

And 1G for the OS is 

To cover all the work in censoring messages

[MCD]

wara wara

[pilonv1]

when the Wii launched it was around 111 yen to the $

right now, it's 79 yen to $ with many analysts talking about a 68 yen to $ horror scenario possible in the next 2 years.

When Wii launched here, AUS$ was 76c to US$. Wii was US$249/AUS$399

Now, AUS$ is $1.04 to US$1. Lets see what they come up with.

[Oblivion]

The Wii had slightly over double the amount of RAM that the GC did, yet I can't really think of any games games that provided significantly better quality textures and such.

Will most likely be the case for the Wii-U. :/

[archnemesis]

1+1 GB of RAM seems fine to me. That's not going to be the bottle neck in most cases. I'm also curious to see what kind of OS their going for. Hopefully it will be a lot more competent than what we got for the 3DS.

[maxy]

Rated 75W

Just for the record,launch 360 was about 200W,Slim 360 is about 90W

[pilonv1]

Considering the tech it shouldn't be any more than that.

[DCharlieJP]

When Wii launched here, AUS$ was 76c to US$. Wii was US$249/AUS$399

Now, AUS$ is $1.04 to US$1. Lets see what they come up with.

You get to be special "Euro" members for some reason - which means PAL region Price tax!!!

[archnemesis]

At least we're getting an AC adapter included this time.

[Huff]

The way they are announcing this system is fucking stupid. Here's the price! Now wait a couple more hours for another online event for games. And another online show for America.

[DCharlieJP]

They are letting people debate whether the machine is "worth it" in a vaccuum - then drop the games in later.

I'm expecting to see a few things of note.

[Cerveza mas fina]

75W is really the only thing you need to know about it's power. This one number.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I'm assuming they're following the 3DS model of charging price-gougingly high prices at first to rake in as many suckers as possible and then hit the panic button for a price drop in a few months.

[MCD]

Get a PS360 for the price of a Wii U and one extra Wii U GamePad.

[Human Snorenado]

This is like Troll Christmas

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

   Just wanted to laugh at Nintendo one more time before going to work.

[DCharlieJP]

lol - i love that there's a "all the stuff we didn't give you that you probably need" pack for 5280 yen
(nunchuck, wagglestick, sensor bar, etc)

though everyone has a wii so i guess that makes sense (it's in the cupboard behind the space hopper and pet rock)


Can someone post the Wollan picture update please?

[Eel O'Brian]

So I guess I can pick up a FourthWii™ for like $50 in a couple of months (it's like a Taco Bell FourthMeal™ only it gives you worse shits).

[pilonv1]

You get to be special "Euro" members for some reason - which means PAL region Price tax!!!

We'd be the only "Euro" members whose currency has increased in the last 5 years, so we are special. Still had a +$100 tax on the 3DS at launch, down to $80 when it dropped price. I am expecting at least $100 on the US prices. $399/$499 and $190+ for the pad is looking likely.

This is like Troll Christmas

Presents are opened and dinner is coming up in a few hours...

[pilonv1]

[Eel O'Brian]

still A#1

[demi]

Shitty MCD's trolling aside guess which game looks more fun?

Yup, Mario.

Angry Birds

[maxy]

So what are projected US prices?

$250 & $350
or
$299 & $399---360 launch prices

?
