I agree with Hinkik, and actually don't mind his forward approach about it.

People carry more interest on the likes of GTA, Call of Duty, Battlefield and the like over things like Mario and Pokemon.

People also like having games they can just jump right into, and online games that nail that, nail the audience. Gamers are a competitive bunch, and without catering to that, a lot of games fall into the 'one time only' category.

This idea is heavily reflected in mobile gaming as well.

And can we please stop believing that Nintendo is the only saviour against these mature games. Can I at least hear a clap for the likes of Level-5, Namco Bandai, SEGA, Capcom, Atlus and Ubisoft, to name a few. Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright and Rayman Origins aren't exactly what I'd call gory or violent, and they're definitely not far from interesting either.

It's the TV's problem. I bet if it were hooked up to a CRT (old school "big booty" tube TV) the images would be in sync.

Plasma, LCD, and LED TV's have a little lag to them. The numbers vary between brands and the tech they went with.
Going to "Game mode" is supposed to help reduce the lag, but it doesn't eliminate it. If you have a big screen, lag is pretty much unavoidable.
IMO, latency is the biggest problem with today's tech. It's really killing our ability to be precise in gaming nowadays,
and since most consumers don't even know it, the demand for better, faster response TVs isn't there.

Here's a way to test this with audio:
If you have New Super Mario Bros., pop that in your Wii. Get killed by a goomba or grab an item in a level that activates a sound in your Wii remote (I think grabbing a 1up or getting all 8 red coins should do it). If you have a big screen TV, you'll notice a slight delay between the chime in the TV's speakers and the chime in your Wii remote, with the sound coming out of the Wii remote slightly before the TV. If you have "game mode" in your TV, it'll reduce that delay a little bit, but it's still not going to be in sync.

So basically, that delay in time that you're hearing is the amount of time that stuff is going on in your game before you even get to see or hear it. Definitely NOT ideal for gaming.

Sounds less like "Dual Gamepad Support's coming later," and more like "no launch titles support dual gamepads." The support for it to work probably will be there, but it seems like the first launch titles won't use two gamepads for local multiplayer. But then again, who's to say? None of the games are out, so devs could slide in dual gamepad support.

Then why does it say third party games sell the best on Nintendo systems? lol.

You can buy tickets but they will cost as much as like 3-4 WiiUs.

So the tickets will cost 3-4 speculated prices?

This could be possible but not likely.But it's good to see a positive article about the Wii U for once and no bashing it.Have you noticed something why are all these sites bashing the Wii U? Do they hate Nintendo or something or are they scared that the Wii U will do well and make there companies current gen Consoles look bad?

The thing that gets me mad, that when a stupid rumor from a random site saying "The Wii U is weaker then 360/PS3" from an anoymous "dev" it gets posted EVERYWHERE, a few days ago we got a rumor about the PS4 on par with current gen it does not get posted anywhere.

"If I asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have told me 'A Faster Horse.' "
Henry Ford.

We don't know what we want until we have it.

In other words, don't expect them to ever release the specs of the Wii U.  Even at E3, they will probably not say anything.  They will just show off their super funtastic great epic wonderfulistic games.

totally agree with the guy in the video above

Neogaf specs kids should shut up if they don't plan to buy the system or just troll the specs down.

on every single page i see noobs who have totally no sense of things about tech industry said "ah i doubt [insert this and that]"


Do you remember ... when there was a UT3 samartian rumor on WiiU and ... the time between that ... then came the "nintendo tweaks WiiU to make sure it runs UE4"  ... so before this news , people were totally up in arms about UE4 would never be able to be on Wiiu just because EPIC said "UE4 is for next gen only"

So you see how these kids TWIST THE CONTEXT around and they think like WiiU is not a next gen console - silly.

These people don't understand the tech - it's not about power, raw calculations ... it's about the circurity, the features that are plastered on the hardware is viable for next generation engines to use --- it's about the FEATURE SPECTRUM not about the raw power ... they don't understand how hardware works. If EPIC wanted to have UE4 on Xbox360 they would have made it , technically it's poosible, they would just not be able to use the features that the 360 hardware doesn't support , switched off, simple as that, but why ... the hardware has no features that UE4 will want to use for obvious reasons in the industry (practical, commercial) so that's a waste of time if you already have UE3 running on it that's fully functional for the hardware.

So it's silly how people say "wiiu won't be powerful enough for UE4" - that's stupid statement and totally wrong. First of all you can't say a statement like that in FACTUAL format like you're Mr. IKNOWEVERYTHING ,  second it's now about power, for the RECORD, WiiU will have enough up to date hardware feature-wise to be able to WARRANT UE4 support

The news about "nintendo tweaking wiiu to make sure it runs UE4" is a TWISTER JOURNALIST-REPORTING statement that the media always makes to totally twist the EVENT .... so we go through the TECH FILTER of what actually DID OCCUR.... this means that NINTENDO ACCEPTED EPIC'S DESIRE FOR HARDWARE BUFF (and that means memory/RAM too) - that's what that news was about. And that is the news that people should be cherring about - how can it get better than that, it's the best news we could get.

And what this means - the BUFF will obviously BENEFIT a bunch of other engines not just UE4 ... CryEngine 3 ... IDTech5 .... etc

If you thought that the UE4 news about nintendo tweaking wiiu is about writting some lines of code making sure UE4 will boot properly --- no this not the case as some might think - this is just how usually stupid non-tech journalists report things.

Rumors are rumors , fakes are obvious - but you have to have TECHNICAL BACKGROUND to understand them - that's why the speculation is less than optimal in the majority of those kids not having idea about tech.

That's why the NDAs, that's why the ninjas, general people have no whole idea how things work and get done ... no company can afford leaks that will be reported in weird manner and people will get stupid assumptions on it, and companies don't usually have super geek tech-marketing guys that will know how to explain for damage control.

All this wiiU rumors and leaks are going on because the system is great - i didn't saw more stuff going on about ANY system before, combine 2 years from the get go of the Wii2 rumors and project cafe ... you could fill a long long nintendo hype train with it.

Ubisoft source confirmed.

Exactly (might be whoever mediocre studio - definitely not the people that are technically inclined to push for the best)
Nuff said

A friend of a friend told me the Wii U has a quantum computer matrix connecting to your brain.
She works at a company what develops brainware for everyone so that alleviates any of my concerns.

I guess it's good news though.
Not a fan of unreal engine, but it's one less excuse for third parties if true.

The difference between the resolution of the controller and the resolution of the Vita is pitifully small, in case you guys didn't realize. Also, having it at 720p would just raise the price, and what sensible person wants that?

Guys could this confirm wii U is next gen?


http://m.computerand...60-ps3-ubisoft/

It is a next gen system it doesnt really need confirmation

The last quarter of this year, 2012.

@Orion it was high end when it was released.And its not like they choose it last year they started the actual development of the cards probably 2008 or 2009. Its not like they choose a card that was a cheap card as their starting point.

I agree with the OP as i hear constant riducolous posts by neogaf ... the noobs, that don't realize how actually this whole thing of engine porting works.

The general public thinks that the requirements of the DEMO equal to the requirements of the barebone code , that is so silly.

There is no single reason why WiiU can't run UE4 - the way that people look at it ist's the demo requirements and graphical detail and features that are applied on top, it's a simple thing of disabling , this is the idea of "scaling down" but not the ENGINE IT SELF , it just means disabling the features, while not making the engine less functional or crippled.

People are wrong in their context, the question should be how GOOD is going to LOOK with UE4 on WiiU and the real question should be the difference between WiiU and other consoles and PC. THAT's the actualy thing to worry about.

This freaking neogaf registration im awaiting like half a year and i contacted bgassassin in hopes he can tell admins and he says he did so see what happens, anyone having some sort of interaction please PM me, want to be on neogaf to fix misinformation sometimes, but i still can't post however i can login.

One guy finally addressed this here: http://www.neogaf.co...postcount=19154
