Wii U announced at E3

[hetoan2]

(if homebrew ever comes out that is.)

Not if.  When.

Yes, but how am I gonna be able to remote debug without Gecko output? All this has is USB D: I feel that part of the reason they're scrapping gamecube is to fix their online issues @_@ (which i may or may not have been responsible for some of :$, through popularity, not actually using or releasing (at least on purpose))

I'd also like to point out that the controller itself is very light and sturdy (or so i've heard). It's much lighter than an iPad, because it doesn't have on-board memory or processors.

And I've heard it's comfortable from many sources online as well, although this is a personal preference, so I can't say for you. Either way, it's got a hook thingy on the back that looks like it makes it comfortable.

And about your comment on stocks...

Stock brokers really can't comment on the quality of unreleased games. They are interested in selling stocks for a completely different reason, and the fact that you think that these are completely linked is false. Not to mention that when the Wii was originally announced (as the revolution) stocks continued to drop for nintendo until mid-June of 2005. The fact that there are articles commenting on the link between stocks and recent gaming announcements is purely for the gain of the publisher and in reality, there's not much of a link.

[hetoan2]

no you understand me wrong. when homebrew comes, there will be of course a ROM loader application for it.
that's like the PS3.

BTW Yes these applications support burned DISC's ^^ just install -removed-

Uh... no they don't. You're physically changing the IOS to allow pirated games. This has nothing to do with the software functionality of GeckoOS. It's not like gecko OS has it's own set of IOSs -.-

And homebrew != piracy. Sure, people are going to try to find a way to pirate games, but there is a large majority of people who want homebrew simply to use codes (a lot of people ask me how to do this, so i know it's true). Not to mention that I, myself, would be more than glad to buy games on the Wii-U if we could hack them using homebrew. It's not always about getting free games or cheating online. I enjoy hacking simply for the process behind it, although I do acknowledge that there are people who cheat/pirate just to feel "above the law" so to speak. And yes, those people are ruining nintendo's current online system.

ok

[hetoan2]

Just to elaborate on my comment about stocks... Keep in mind that a new console being announced (without a release date or timeframe) means that current console sales will drop. Marketers are probably trying to make profit off of this by buying in before the next press release. Keep in mind, the stock market is definitely something that can be worked.

Just can't get behind this one.

..and you kind of strawmanned a few of my points there, Hetoan2. ...meh *shrugs*

-snip-

Doesn't effect me much sense I'll mainly be playing single player. yea I'm lame.lol probably something to do with having to output multi screens. but this is the first i've heard of this  :(

[hetoan2]

doesn't bother me either. I said that you would really only need one anyways.

And i'm definitely not straw-manning. My points were valid.

"And if you're going to bitch about the handheld screen being not up-to-snuff with the 1080p HD output on the TV, shame on you. The handheld screen is 6.2 inches. That really isn't enough to display all the pixels in 1080p or even 720p display now is it?"
Strawman - I only said the selling points were mutually exclusive.. They are.


"Stock brokers really can't comment on the quality of unreleased games. They are interested in selling stocks for a completely different reason, and the fact that you think that these are completely linked is false."
Strawman - I never said they were completely linked... I didn't say anything even close to that...





You seem to be taking it personally that I think this system is Wii Unfortunate... Let's not continue this conversation. =(

Being able to use the DS / DSi / 3DS as a controller would of been a better idea, the Wii had plans for DS connectivity and it would of rocked IMHO.

So far Wii U sounds good, if the controller allows web surf, chat and some other goodies like that I'd probably get one.

eh fair enough, implications were made, but you're being quite pessimistic :(

Web surf.... No all nintendo systems with web search the browser sucks. I just caught this topic so let me say what I think. It will sell well and have a bunch of cool features, but Nintendo is going to make crappy games like ballon pop or wacka - mole. People will complain about some big glitch or loads of download traffic(like on the 3ds at the moment, I can't purchase anything because it can't connect to the accsess point) sales will go downhill and prices will drop. One or two amazing games will come out but be way over priced. Like they showed a Zelda game with item selection on the tablet and a new SSB will come out.

I hope I'm wrong about this because it seams like such a good idea to waste on crap.

Reading this thread for the first time it seems like most people had got the wrong idea about the console but perhaps the info was limited when the thread was started.

Seems pretty cool to me, nice ideas with the the new screen pads.

[James0x57]

Nintendo said only one screen pad connected to the system at a time.

[toonlink444]

Which is BS. it's unfair in multiplayer games. Like the chase mii example. Plus arguments about who holds the pad.

[hetoan2]

boo hoo. the device obviously isn't made for serious multiplayer games where everything is supposed to be fair.

the chase mii thing is like pacman vs.

It's 4 v 1, the 4 other people are supposed to be challenged. It's fair in that sense. Not to mention, that's a tech demo. Purely for gimmick showoff.


And they said that theres only 1 screen pad as of right now, they said they were going to look into support for more than one since it shows interest. My bet is that there won't be screen support for more than one "special controller" if this is the case (since it seems heavy on the system and bluetooth to me)
