Are you ignoring the numbers posted earlier in this thread that it is indeed weaker than a console released in 2005?

These type of comparisons are stupid because they have different architectures. The xbox had a 32 bit processor while N64 had a 64 bit one. That didn't mean shit.

This live stream is hysterical. They can't even fucking connect the thing to the wifi.

Three laptops one desktop and at least 6 nerds to connect the Weeeeooo to wifi, smh.

[SantaC]

anyone know how fast the GPU is compared to 360 and PS3? If it is slower then it is the final nail in the hardware coffin.

[MCD]

Now I can finally experience how Wii would have been if Nintendo would have made it equally powerful as its competitors.

It begins.

I'm just in awe tha people are excited over these ports of Batman, AC3, BLOPS, Mass Effect... etc

Really? Is this just some launch window syndrome?

[MCD]

Andrex never played any of these games, demi.

Such is the life of a ninthing.

[Sho Nuff]

The Giant Bomb guys are now stuck downloading the slowest day one patch ever for BLOPS2.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

 

What a great day

[SantaC]

Wii Port indeed.

[MrAngryFace]

its cool guyz cause Nintendo lulz

[SantaC]

how is this thing $350? And GAF are saying that they're selling at a loss. That cant be right. It looks bulky and hideous compared to any tablet today.

Praise Miyamoto, the actually-useful-but-annoying-cuz-its-waggle spin move and pick up item mechanic are mapped to Zr/l.

everything is so slow 

I'm not even comparing it to non-Nintendo devices.  Checking notifications is quicker on my 3DS than this.  Is there like a memory leak or something?

Did you miss the Vita lauch/announcement of P4 Golden as Vita's savior?

Posted from my Wii U.

[Himu]

To be fair to Andrex, most of those people have already PLAYED persona 4 as it was on the Ps2. But that doesn't mean vita is MORE laugh worthy than Wii U. They're about the same but for different reasons.

From gaf

I start to think that Nintendo did a good job with introducing only DDR3 ram type.

 When you have only 1GB ram for games you won't use high quality assets like high res textures so Ram speed don't matter that much.

 If case was different like it would have 2GB or more for very high quality assets high speed ram would be crucial to system.

They're equally slow to me. More annoying on 3DS where waiting is more noticeable.

Also are you guys actually using the Giant Bomb WiFi thing as an indictment of the system? Mine connected to WiFi fine, come on. Grasping at straws now.

Wireless range is pretty short.  Can't cover an entire one bed room apartment.  Starts skipping at the bathroom.



edit: yeah, no problem connecting to wi-fi on my end.

You're right, the WiiU and Vita are in roughly the same position.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Vita has better games though.

[Joe Molotov]

LOL, Wii U was in stock everywhere I went today, not one fuck was being given. Gamecube launch all over again. La bombu.

[Purple Filth]

289 people playing Black Ops 2 WiiU online?

WAT 

[SantaC]

watching giant bomb stream, blops2 sure looks ugly

[maxy]

WTF is going on. I have everything physically set up but when I got the point of syncing my game pad with the system, this test screen appeared on the game pad screen.

Day 1 is for figuring out what the actual flaws and strengths of a system are, so yes, each criticism is accounted for.   

I know, it must be difficult to deal with after buying into Nintendo + press hype for 2 years.  but every system by any company must go through it. 

Hence the popular phrase "day 1 beta tester."

Come on. That's a lot more fun than most pickup pictures. At least he put some effort into it.

"not people, nintendo fans" is a quote, I was correcting someone who refereed to them as people.

as for the multi billion dollar corporation, well, it's the only way they'll learn to not cheap out on everything.

[demi]

If it does get hacked, nothing will come of it. There's nothing to steal on the thing. You want to steal Batman again? Darksiders? lol

I've been pretty damn nonhyped for the Wii U ever since it was announced. There's a difference between not being hyped and looking for any reason you can to hate. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Non hyped? What about monster hunter?

Let's get real for a second. You're never gonna admit to any of the system's flaws, even if they secretly bug the shit out of you, and you're gonna offer up excuses every time someone else brings them up. Because you're not a normal consumer, you're an unpaid apologist/cheerleader for corporations you're a fan of. See also: Android.

[Cerveza mas fina]

What about your long standing love of Bayonetta?

[Purple Filth]

Why does all Nintendo OS stuff look like Playskool designed it?

to get the kids, and grandparents

[SantaC]

so what game is there to look forward to other than Mario? Ports and shovelware for another year?

[Tasty]

Talking about the system itself. Of course I'm hyped for MH, actually that may be the only game I'm hyped for at the moment, now that I have Mario.

I've been pretty open in admitting the CPU's slowness and how the launch lineup isn't for everyone. You see what you want to see.

So... you're typing that "posted from my Wii U" on purpose right?

[cool breeze]

The Wii U Eshopware is pretty quick.  I mean, the layout is a mess, but it's just about the only time you can press a button and see something happen without waiting 10+ seconds.

 

[SantaC]

is that annoying "posted from my wii u" going to show up everytime you post now 

[Eel O'Brian]

No, I see what you post. From your Wii U.

hay guys this is posted from my pc

[Eel O'Brian]

demi, word filter "Wii U" to "Underpowered Hugbox"

[Sho Nuff]

But signatures are only automated in emails, not for forum posts. At least I hope he's using some sort of copy/paste function.

Does the Wii U have a copy/paste function...?

[Cerveza mas fina]

Andrex my gf is asking if you are typing it out.

[fistfulofmetal]

andrex is the worst.
