i want zelda in the future were epona is a hoverbike and the mastersword is a lightsaber!!! this wud b epic!!!

We don't have any real information about XBOX 720 and PS4 and even not too much about Wii U.

Plus, that question has a quite obvious answer on a Wii U forum.

lol i know like the ps4 was ever going to win what i stupid thread.

i think its right it is nintendo not sony or ms lol

lmao that was so funny

been there played that

yeah for some reason though nintendo seem to always dissapoint everything gets hyped up with rumours and stuff then when they do something its really REALLY lame

there is no way this thing is gunna sell out in australia

you sir are a genius!!!!

this has just sealed the deal on my wii u purchase !!!!

people will nwver get blown away by graphics in consoles now

a wii u magazine ... theres no news.. it wid b 2 pages long ... 1 page of ads

Let's just say this.

Nintendo has learned a lot from IBM working with their tech. Some of that Is applied to the custom power based CPU. The Watson paths and algorithms built for the power architecture are a huge gain as well. The CPU itself is much more powerful than anything available in a console currently. no doubt the power pc capabilities inherent to a power CPU are greatly enhanced and will be utilized heavily. But there is more...

I'm thinking IBM had to have given Nintendo a sweetheart deal for them to have what they have. IBM has lost Microsoft this time and Sony is going x86 as well. Can see them wanting to make a fight of it.

The GPU is very nice as well. For those thinking they can simply buy the same gpu or an upgrade of it are missing the point. The wii u does not use a stock PC gpu. Also, because of the efficiency inherent to a console package and due to nintendos relentless focus on efficiency and refinement, the Wii U handily outperforms any PC with comparable specifications.

My prediction/hypothesis/whatever:

The wii U wil look marginally better than current systems at launch. The many ports are limited by default as those games began life on lesser systems and were built around those limitations.

About a year after launch, the real gods become available. Games written specifically to take advantage of the superior firepower running on engines built/modified/enhanced to run on said hardware.

They will be ready to face off against the launch hype of Microsoft and Sony new consoles.

There is a reason why so many are excited about what the wii u allows us to make. But for those looking to sell soon, they have had to deal with the lowest common denominator dev kits for performance budgeting, current game engines, porting from older architectures, etc.

Nintendo isn't coming up with a 360+ type system. They ate ushering in the next generation.

Just like microsoft did with the 360-and it's games looked like Xbox 1 games until a year after launch as well.

i like your thinking. like u said the only thing that will be a let down would be no 3rd party support in the future. the fact that they are saying is the will be "dumbed down " for wii u dosnt bother me.


i still look at some ps360 games and think wow graphic wise. im pretty happy with the current graphics of this gen if the wii u can take it further to 1080p then its a bonus for me
however in australia the pre order price is $600!!!

i dontbuy mariogames anyway

Look on Miiverse. Look at how many people are pleased with their Wii U console. I personally think that NSMBU is the best NSMB game, with the one on 3DS following far behind, and i am sure many others think that too. Nintendo Land is good, and you haven't played the best minigames- Takamarus ninja castle, Mario chase, Metroid blast ect. I haven't played ZombiU so i can't really deliver a valid point for that, but the reviews are mixed, so let that speak.

Just wait for more games on the Wii U. Is it the graphics you don't like? Nintendo haven't really bothered about graphics except on the gamecube- That didn't really sell well, so since then, nintendo hasn't cared that much for graphics.
It's not them that deliver a good game, it's how fun a game is.

the only reason the gamecube didnt sell is because it couldnt play dvds

Haven't you heard? It's "hip" or "cool" to hate on Nintendo. It, like, proves your status in the gamer community, or something.

thats ridiculous grow up maybe they are complaining about because the wii u isnt wat they want in a console people arnt hating on nintendo because its cool or hip but because it was a major dissapointment in there eyes. i dnt hate on nintendo but i question there hardware choices. its 2013 i want something powerful. powerful enough to garuntee the next gen multiplats . i dnt think the wii u is strong enough to get them.

if nintendo beefed up the specs and put a higher price tag to garuntee a 5-6 yr lifespan it would not hav bothered me. even if it was $600 its still a fair price for a console that will last 6 years the wii has stayed around for about that time i know but last 2 years hasnt really had any games ( that interest me)

a refund lol

shadowman or aliens colonial marines.

yeah its deffinatly metroid cryengine or not it will look good dnt expect much more than ps360 graphics but it will look good

cryengine 3. that would be beleaveable, but were did you get the info?

im just taking a stab in the dark.... it does sound really logical though
also how would Metroid support multy(online)?

there making metroid online with cryengine
will b the biggest online project and most graphic intensive game on a nintendo console ever. it will have dlc maps etc etc expect lush rainforests and amazingly beutiful alien worlds. it will b an open unizerse with flight missions to different planets and maybe a starfox cameo appearance. expect 1080p 30fps.

Something for the mature gamers in mind

they dont cater for my needs as a gamer ie: games!!!

When Nintendo leaves the hardware business is when they stop making games.
And just how exactly did they "take a dump" on their fans?

ive been following wii u since e3 2011 followed the news religously and its been dissapointment after dissapointment in my eyes.

your fighting for no prics cut?
i work hard for my money and i save every dollar i can and ur trying to find ways for them not to price cut??? you sir are an idiot!!

ok i apoligize for calling you an idiot. it just pisses me off that nintendo continue to take a dump on there fans. enough is enough nintendo should quit hardware and just do there games. im sick of buying there consoles to play 2-3 games then hav to buy another to play all the others its ridiculos. god damn you nintendo im sick of sticking up for you!! and yes i cant spell!!
