#40231 Wii U is the perfect console!

Wii U Hardware
No console is perfect but Wii-U is near on as far as I am concerned,the only gripe I have are the nubs but maybe that will change.
But things I like:
The screen is awesome,imagine playing Mario Kart and the screen shows constantly whats behind you...so you can see both at the same time (sort of)
You can instant message and webcam from it meaning no waiting for the PC to boot up...surf the web...plus no chance of a virus...
I can lay in bed playing
Nintendo have a long history of advances in developing controllers that become the industry standard,so you know this tablet will rock.
Its going to be quite powerful and big developers are bringing their big franchises to it like Batman Arkham City,GTA5 is rumoured,Darksiders,so Wii-U owners will have the best of both worlds,Nintendo games and these titles from studios like EA and Rocksteady and more...for me this is a killer selling point which puts Wii-U in a different place to the other consoles.
Plus Nintendo are revealing the 'finished' Wii-U at next years E3...this means there will be lots more big developments and shocks I am sure
Good time to be a Nintendo fan

Yes I agree,Nintendo stated a while ago that the industry was shrinking and that new audiences had to be found.The Wii was very successful in doing this but I think it didn't get the balance right...for every great game on the Wii there was a 100 rubbish 'lifestyle' games like Wii-Fit and Cooking with Mama...please don't get me wrong I have nothing against these titles but there was just too much of them and not enough triple AAA titles on the shelf.Also I bet most Wii-Fit peripherals are sitting in a cupboard rotting.
To survive companies will be looking to expand this audience and thats fine but they have to cater for the more gamer minded player like me and I guess most of the people on this forum...but I think the Wii-U will appeal to many different people over different ages...something the other two in their present forms will not do (unless they copy Nintendo which is a possibility)
There will be lifestyle peripherals and more of the same that the Wii had but with a difference...big developers will be on board this time bringing the 'hardcore' titles to Wii-U (something the Wii did not have) and I'f Nintendo expand on this audience will only mean that more sales of the machine,more dev companies getting involved,means me and you will have a bigger selection of games.The Wii was just not powerful enough to run these big name games but now its different.
I hope women,children,men,grannys and even the cat buys Wii-U and that their tastes are catered for because that will mean mine will be too

Hello and welcome to the forum
Don't worry I understood your English perfectly
I have raced many Japanese Karters on Mario Kart Wii like Keke,Chikuten,Yutori...they are very tough opponents
I am a bit of a Mario Kart fanatic as you will find out and can't wait for Mario Kart 7
But I like Metroid and Zelda too
But I know nothing of Pokemon and Monster Hunter
It will be interesting to hear what games you play most and what you are looking forward too

We'll I have nothing against Apple but at the same time do not own any of their products (and probably never will)
Apple stuff seems very expensive and I really don't care about mobile phones,my current mobile sends SMS's,can ring people,surf the net and thats all I require from it.Steve Jobs was a clever man no doubts,but Apple is a fashionable brand as much as making tech devices.
But its fair to say without Nintendo and Miyamoto gaming would be dead.And so many things that are industry standard now Nintendo developed.
Plus game design for me is as meritable as making music,painting or sculpting and anything else thats considered art or culture.
The I-Phone might be popular but Mario is the most recognised characeter on the planet,thats a fact...most children in Africa know who Mario is but not Mickey Mouse.
And I hate to say it but its true but when someone dies their achievments are elevated higher etc than when they were alive...so true of many artists and musicians...

I had a Dreamcast and played the first one and was impressed by it.It really was something new in its time (you even had to take up a job as a fork lift driver to earn cash) and also you could play mini games like darts etc.But most of the time you was investigating things.
The end of the first game was epic when you left on a boat in to the sunset to start the next part of the adventure.

Yes I said at the time 3DS needed a different name to dis-associate itself from DS,most people thought it was a normal DS with 3D screens so didn't bother.Plus there was a lack of software at the start (SF4 was not enough to persuade me) and that price...!!!
Wii-U has been a bit shaky though,Nintendo did not quite get the presentation right at E3 (most people thought the tablet was the new console and didn't know about the desktop) and that was a bit of a mistake.Of course they are up to speed with it now and also Nintendo have another E3 to show it and the software.Nintendo will get the release right,good games,good price,but the recession is a problem...but people always find a way of getting the 'important' things
I think it will be fine and also Nintendo will have next year and maybe the year after to themselves...I don't see Sony or Microsoft releasing major hardware soon...and also Vita interest is dying I have heard.Might make Sony more reluctant to plough on with PS4 just yet.
I think Nintendo will be fine.

I would not say thats untrue but would also say that Nintendo give first class support to developers...I would say its the same this time round too.Not sure what you mean here..what are basic slow movements for?
On another note, I am trying to find out more information in regard to the difficulties the companies are having while developing games that use the Wii U Tablet. So apparently, they are finding it hard to get the connectivity to work at all. This is making progress slow in development. Not too promising, even though its just 'rumour'..?

To be honest no...thats why I could not dispute it totally but have played Nintendo consoles etc for years and they always create hardware thats quite easy to work with and they also help dev companies as much as possible.
I think looking back the 64 was probably the hardest machine Nintendo made to code for (big game worlds on carts,one reason Square went to Sony)
But Nintendo make reliable hardware thats accessible to players and coders so I would say at the moment its a rumour and no more.
But I have been wrong before ha ha...but I have heard nothing from 3rd parties to this rumour.

We'll I remember the quite dark days of the 64 and the darker days of the Cube,lack of support was crippling their machines and I have to be honest on the Cube Nintendo did not even make the best games on that system (my opinion) but I though that RE4 and Metroid Prime (yes Retro are close to Nintendo but not in-house) was the best titles on it and it was a tough time defending Nintendo.Then the Wii came along and Microsoft/Sony fanboys rubbished that system as we'll and to some degree they had a point.Shovelware and a lack of good titles.Its like Nintendo have been adapting/changing/branding etc but didn't quite know where to position itself...casual...hardcore...(hate these terms but makes it easier) or are they both and then end up pleasing no-one.
Just 2 days ago I was talking to a 360 player in my local comic shop and he admitted that he loved generic titles...shooters with no brains...another driving game as realistic as possible and he had never heard of Zelda...I am being serious
Nintendo have to prove this time round that they want to compete with Sony/Microsoft for the big games like GTA and they seem to be doing this,we all know the titles that have been mentioned.I hate to say it but Nintendo need to cater for these players because there are lots of them,then they will cater for the lifestyle crowd and also players like us that buy Nintendo machines to play Nintendo games.
I think there is a crowd of people that think big guns,big men,big explosions = hardcore great game....and a plumber or an elf running around saving a princess is for kids...but I did say to this guy I met that I'f he played OoT he would be stuck 15 mins in because he is used to generic brainless crap...and he agreed
I think it is cultural...FIFA...COD etc dominate and to be honest I hate these games,but Nintendo have to get these players on-side so yes more re-branding it seems but something tells me Nintendo know this.And as soon as I saw the controller I knew Nintendo had changed direction,and the machine is more powerful that I thought it would be (I was expecting the same as 360) so Nintendo have entered the graphics arena again.
Also the 3DS is really gaining momentum now with the software being released and then it will be trickle..trickle of Wii-U...I have to be honest for the first time in a while I am confident of Nintendos chances and that Wii-U will be known as a gamers machine

I think this game will be similar to OoT and Majoras Mask because I think we may see the 3rd part of this story.
Miyamoto and Ounuma have discussed the MM port but decided a new adventure is needed first,so end the trilogy then port MM.
Just a theory.

I think Nintendo should have called the 3DS something different so there was no confusion but it is what it is.
Also I can't really see where handhelds go from here,3DS has motion control,touch screen,analog,digital,more powerful than DS,3D screen,and you have to ask yourself what other feature can they invent or incorporate? What more can you do with a handheld?
I don't think a re-design will come out soon either (but one will be in the works,its the Nintendo way) but they are too busy trying to establish the current 3DS and will wan't to avoid causing more confusion with another 3DS on the market.
It was a bad launch,high price,confusion over its name,no games etc.But look at the games coming out over the next 6 months...lots of AAA titles and 3DS owners will be spolit for choice for software.
I don't really see anything progressive with other companies handhelds,they seem more of the same but more powerful and a few bells and whistles.
The fact of the matter is when it comes to handhelds Nintendo can't be beat...thats fact not fanboy talk and I don't see the status quo changing this generation.
