No suprise at the zombie u embargo, ubisoft has always been a french crappy lying shit company. The game is ass, it is hilarious to see gaf defend that game

Seems Wii-U's memory is DDR3 type RAM and is about 25% slower than the RAM in the 360.

Kinda late on this, but man oh man that Verge review.

"Wii U isn't the 360.

Wii U uses 2GB of DDR3 memory at 17GB/s. That's slower than both the 360 and the PS3 which is notorious for causing problems due to it's low bandwidth. How on Earth do Nintendo do it? They've managed to create something slower than a 7 year old console.

Here's a comparison to PS3/360 bandwidth numbers:
Comparison:

360: 22.4 GB/s + eDRAM for framebuffer
PS3: 25.6 GB/s main memory BW + 22.4 GB/s graphics memory BW, no eDRAM

GTX 680: 192.2 GB/s

shouldn't they be more concerned about berating the several "insiders" who've been actively lying to them for the past year or so? that said, as they were all sucking their shlongs because they were offering hope that this was anything but Kwik Save : the Console - i guess this is like waking up in the morning after a night with a $300 hooker who turned out to be a fucking shaved goose

ust a few random notes, seems like Wii U has a nice internal scaler like Xbox 360, NSMBU upscaled to 1080p as did the Wii mode, RE4 WE looked pretty good. Obviously not native, but a nice feature if your HDTV likes 1080p sources like mine does

360 gpu is doing the scaling btw,360 has no extra scaler

archnemesis · « **Reply #3685 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:11:21 AM »

I don't think that will do any difference for me. My TV can upscale a 480p signal and it's not like the internal Wii U scaler is enhancing the image or anything.

archnemesis · « **Reply #3687 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:38:55 AM »

No, it's also the most powerful system that plays Nintendo first-party titles. That will be enough for many.

maxy · « **Reply #3688 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:43:04 AM »

Just out of curiosity,what Nintendo first party titles are scheduled for let's say next 6 months?

Takao · « **Reply #3689 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:47:13 AM »

Pikmin, err uhhh Pikmin?

archnemesis · « **Reply #3690 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:49:17 AM »

These are developed internally:
• New Super Mario Bros. U
• Nintendo Land
• Pikmin 3
• Wii Fit U

These will likely remain exclusive since they're published by Nintendo:
• Bayonetta 2
• Game & Wario
• Lego City Undercover
• Sing Party
• The Wonderful 101

I'm sure they can put out a rehashed Mario Kart with upscaled graphics using the same old assets if they need to push sales.

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #3691 on:** November 18, 2012, 05:52:48 AM »

Well, i guess the good news out of all this is that maybe devs can do Wii U / Vita games and hit two similarly powerful and similiarly bombing platforms at the same time.

Oh wait - Vita has multitouch - i guess they can map stuff to buttons and shit on the Wii Maxipad.

maxy · « **Reply #3694 on:** November 18, 2012, 06:00:35 AM »

Dunno,he could be wrong.

Who knows,but 360 is upscaling xbox games,my monitor is not reporting change in input resolution when xbox games are played.

Easy to check though--insert Wii game and see what TV does

Some TVs have shitty scalers so having your console do the upscaling can be a plus in some cases.

When there's 3 games I want to play, I'll steal my nephew's for a week or two, gamefly the games and then be done with it.

That was exactly what I did with the Mario games on the wii.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #3704 on:** November 18, 2012, 09:24:24 AM »

so if you're playing 4 player in Mario U you have to play with the wiimotes and cant use the new controller?

that sounds crazy. maybe i'm not understanding tho

edit: ok so the gamepad is just used for creating blocks and stuff. that's crazy stupid.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #3706 on:** November 18, 2012, 09:41:25 AM »

the specs and screens make it sound like a lot inferior current gen ports are inbound.

this is basically Wii all over again, but this time the controller is not nearly as intriguing and is just a knee jerk reaction to the market.

Looks very clean but the framerate is kind of sloppy. You can see stuttering especially when turning around.

It's cool that the wii pointer controls aren't going away but yikes at the commentary. Wii version sounds like third world gaming. Killcams are a revelation.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #3712 on:** November 18, 2012, 11:20:12 AM »

Look for third-party devs to ignore touchscreen stuff with the quickness (well, moreso than they were going to in the first place)

Beyond everything else, that's still the biggest cockup here: the one hardware feature the system has over every other console on the market doesn't work correctly.

mjemirzian · « **Reply #3713 on:** November 18, 2012, 11:31:45 AM »

People still expect consoles to be $299-399 at launch despite inflation. Nintendo also has to deal with the Yen exchange rate. Quality tends to suffer as a result.

Like most of you I'll probably borrow or rent this system, play the handful of games worth playing on it, and be done with it.

We were over in Bellevue this morning and stopped by the Walmart to pick up a few things and they seemed to have plenty of Wii Us. I thought it was supposed to be hard to get one of these things? I was nearly tempted to get one just because it was there but then I looked at what games are out for it.........pass.

Doesn't seem like there's nearly the hype for this as there was for the Wii.

"The Wii had bad graphics, but now with WiiU we can play HD just like everyone else on 360!!" thats some stockholm syndrome bullshit. You could have bought a 360 like 7 years ago you massive, massive tool

Just been taking in the impressions and the videos of this thing and man how must early adopters feel? Even the Nintards know this thing is not ready for prime time yet. Where is the standout launch game that says 'must buy'.

I liked the Wii despite it never truly fulfilling it's potential, but this just looks like a real mess. A botched Xbox 360 copy cat machine. Not even the Nintendo exclusives feel like any effort has gone into them.

I smell a quickish price cut on this machine ala the 3DS.

maxy · « **Reply #3719 on:** November 18, 2012, 11:53:48 AM »

Completed ZombieU 100%, now I'm about halfway through NSMBU.

Holy ****ing ****, I've never been more impressed with a system in my 30+ years of gaming. This is the first time I've been able to game in HD (never touched any Sony or Microsoft crap), and My God the graphics are amazing. I did break down a little bit when I finally got to see Mario in full HD. We've come a long way since the NES days.
