Thank you for your generous welcome. I'm very very very glad

So; how did you find us?

Great Google teacher lead me here.

In Japan, though, a sort of anonymous bulletin board system called a 2ch-type board occupies a main current of game forum, the forum users are sadly likely to avoid their responsibility to their own words and deeds and can't really increase the productivity of dispute. So, I searched western game forum.

This site is amazing, especially how to organize community. In Japan, they can't imagine that they run such this methodical and large community.

What is the name of the place in your avatar? Do you live near it?

This structure is the famous temple called Kōfuku-ji. When I was surfing the Internet, it happened that my eye saw the temple on TV Show.
So it means nothing special

I live in a port town called KOBE, which is just a stone's throw away from Kyoto where Nintendo's headquarter is located.
Since my father, who had had a few acquaintances with Nintendo and became a limb of Nintendo long ago, educated my taste for video game when I was child, my sense of value might be distorted. (I have nothing to do with Nintendo.)

Then, since I have taken days off from gaming life for a while, I might be not well informed about recent video game's circumstances.
My most favorite game is the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
.
Sorry for mentioning the name of very old classic game. I think, I can't  forget any games later on like the ones I played when I was child.

Ill try to make this intro. simple so you can understand if your bad at reading in english

Thanks, superdarkyoshi. I feel my language ability would be less than phytoplankton's. Indeed, haha, it took me more 2,3 hours to write this simple reply.
So your kindness greatly help me understand English. Thank you very much.

If my reply should drop off afterward, I want you to understand that my poor language ability cause troubles


Edited:
I didn't play Kingdom Hearts

Man, you had me worried for a second there. I thought we lost one of our best members.

Oh, and my condolences.

I at first thought I died too, but I saw that I still had phone reception, so I didn't die.

Man, sad that a teacher like that had to die. Good teachers that you get along with is like finding a needle in a hay-stack... (Depending on where you are and what kind of school you go.)

I've never played or even seen anything related to Phoenix Wright, so I can't form an opinion about it. However, I have seen a few MLP pictures and read some stuff about it, and watched some pieces of episodes. Based on all that, I formed a valid opinion. Notice I call it an opinion, not a fact. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My opinion is that MLP is for little girls. End of story.

Some pieces of an episode hardly counts as proof. If you were to watch some pieces of Romeo and Juliet, you would think it is a romance.
Plus, it's stuff like your last statement and  This

I can't stand that so called "men" watch this show! It drives me crazy that men, especially GROWN MEN like this show! It's a little girls' cartoon already! AUGHHH!!! >.<
PEDO ALERT! PEDO ALERT!

That really make me think you don't care about other's opinions at all.

Sorry for being irrational. I respect your opinion, just to me, It's crazy... I guess it's just something I will never understand....

Have you at least watched 1 episode? That's all I have to say on the topic. Don't judge unless you've experienced said thing yourself

-My little pony. (You laughed I know you did!)

I'm not laughing. Half the members here, including myself, watch the show. Anyway, welcome to Wii U Forums. I'm AMAC, the moderator here. As well as ponies, I enjoy Formula 1, snowboarding and football. If you ever need any help you can contact me, or the site's admin, Feld0. Enjoy your stay here!

That reply seems incredibly unfair in itself. The PS1 still had far greater storage thanks to CDs than N64 and its architecture was better designed although running at a lower mhz. You only have to look through youtube to see a huge amount of games that outperform N64 including many beat em ups and driving games. The PS2 clearly has greater polygon output than gamecube, 32bit colour not 24bit and 5.1 sound support. It also has a few high definition games like Gran Turismo at 1080i. To just class the gamecube as superior is incredibly naive. The different strengths of the consoles are utilised by different games.

PS1 had better FMV support and, as I said, pushed new media storage formats. As for better graphics overall... I play Perfect Dark equipped with the memory expansion pack and then end my turn.

As for the PS2's higher poly count... Are those Sony's words, or yours? Because all of the muli-plat games, even when they were made for the PS2 after the Gamecube, look worse then the Gamecube counterpart. Examples include: Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.

The reality is Nintendo cost their products as low as possible nowadays and design down to a price. Nintendo aren't pushing the envelope on this one. While the gpu is meant to be based on a 3 year old design such a chip would run too hot in such a small console and the chances of Nintendo paying for a sophisticated gpu and then underclocking it to keep it cool is highly unlikely. Its much more likely going to be a cutdown design with perhaps many pipelines and functionality reduced. It makes more financial sense to simplify the chip and pay less for it and run faster but the simplification reduces heat output. There is less restriction on the cpu as generally its the gpu that creates most of the heat in consoles. If Nintendo integrate the cpu and gpu together in a single piece of silicon I would expect the cpu perhaps to be limited to dual core but the stagger memory access speeds will help eliminate all bottlenecks and make up for this simplification.

Did you read what I wrote?

I didn't say 'Nintendo will go over the top and go with a high end CPU and GPU chip that will blow the PS360 out of the water and be 5x as powerful!!!!111'

I said 'Due to the nature of new technology, it only makes sense that the console will be 5x as powerful at a minimum.'

No matter how low end the Wii U gets, it doesn't change the fact that it would be hard not to dwarf the PS360 in this day and age. But then again... I assume you think that the PS360 was using bleeding-hot-off-the-shelf-stop-the-presses technology back 6 years ago? I didn't know Sony was losing $1000 off each console.

Vastly superior it is not. I actually have a N64 and Ocarina on cartridge, plus I can play it on wii and on the original xbox emulated. Its enjoyable to play it again but its a small enhancement and is missing some functionality like rumble support.

O.o
What's the argument here? You can play N64 games on your Xbox?
Just the higher quality textures, 10 extra FPS, greater view distance, more polygons, ect. already make the 3DS version substantially superior...

With regard the overall power of the 3DS its clearly not powerful. There were even complaints from the japanese about the Monster Hunter demo shown for 3DS that it was inferior to PSP. I love my 3DS but its not as powerful as sony's portable console that dates back to 2004. I realise the 3DS has a better gpu but in cpu terms it only uses one 266mhz arm11 cpu for its games where as the psp can offer 2x333mhz R4000 cpus. Each offering 350-400 dmips. Yes graphically the psp is inferior and it can't do 3D and doesn't also have to create a second touch screen. However the psp does offer a higher resolution, more polygon output and more cpu power and its clear many psp games are far more ambitious.

Games like this on the 3ds;



Compared to games like this on psp

Well, first off... I was certain the 3DS had 2 CPUs. Source for your information?
Second off... How is a Wii port with enhanced shaders worse than a PSP game? If you're talking about the many Vita fanboy comments, then obviously they'll claim that the 3DS version looks worse than it does. I, on the other hand, have only heard that it looks better.
Third off... I have no idea how much of a rush-job Ridge Racer was/is, because I don't play racing games. Compare Samurai Warriors, though, and it's clear that the 3DS is superior to the PSP. (PSP couldn't even do whole maps in Dynasty Warriors, iirc.) And that's a launch title. Now go look and Dead or Alive or Resident evil: Revelations and tell me that the PSP is stronger. Those are 1st year games.

Nintendo won't plan to make any losses on their hardware. The manufacturing budget for the console is probably $70-100. Nowdays Nintendo get their consoles made by Foxconn. On top of the manufacturing cost, they have the licensing cost for the chipsets, paying back R&D, transport, import duties, wholesaler and retailer margins, warranty costs and repairs, advertising and marketing. In between all that Nintendo clearly want a good slice of profit. Nintendo's profits on the wii were huge, absolutely phenomenal and I'm sure Nintendo don't expect to repeat that but will try to maximise profits as much as possible.

Where's your source on the price limit? If they're selling the console at $350-400, as assumed, then it's not hard at all for them to make a console that is substantially more powerful than the PS360. And, as I've stated, they can go into losses and easily earn profit from their games, like they're doing right now with the 3DS. Especially because they're wooing 3rd parties at the moment. They didn't exactly focus on that with the Wii and DS.

Thats totally untrue. Nintendo don't subsidise their hardware. The wii was sold at a similar price to the 360 with Hdd despite the wii costing a small fraction of the cost of manufacture of the 360. This was because Microsoft were subsidising their hardware price and Nintendo were receiving huge profits.

I don't know about you, but here the Xbox360 launched about $200 higher than the Wii.

The big issue with the ps2 and ps3 is they are overly complicated. I got a ps2 at launch and was bitterly disappointed with its performance it seemed much inferior to dreamcast. At the end of its life the ps2 got some truly amazing games that could never be achieved by dreamcast such was the steep learning curve with the console. Same is true of ps3, early titles were quite weak compared to 360 but titles designed from the ground up for ps3 are amazing.

Err... Yah? That's pretty irrelevant... All consoles have a learning curve; Later games always look better than early ones. The Dreamcast would have killed the PS2 graphic-wise had it survived longer.

To me the wii, ds range and 3DS are good examples of how Nintendo now operate. They cost down their hardware in order to get a good margin and produce a product of fairly limited performance. The psp still outperforms all Nintendo's portable consoles in cpu power (not gpu). Even the original xbox is superior to the wii let alone Xbox 360. We should expect the Wii U to be in the same territory as 360 and PS3.

The original xbox isn't superior to the Wii, though... Where are you getting your info O.o?
Also, you seem to be ignoring... Well, ALL developer statements about the Wii U. They're making ENHANCED versions for the Wii U. As in 'If you want to buy the best version of the game, GET THIS ONE' enhanced versions.

I might add hard drives are brilliant for caching in game data really quickly. The wii u doesn't have this so will rely on either having a lot of cache memory or having a very fast optical drive. I doubt if Nintendo will run its optical drive at ridiculous high speeds and it probably won't have that much cache memory either so on that basis the wii u might have long load times. Its optical drive is only meant to be single layer so already the ps3 has the advantage of 50GB bluray discs and beyond with later triple layer and quad layer discs.

Where has it been stated that the Wii U won't be able to use dual-layer disks? And since when has the PS3 been able to do Quad-layer, let alone triple? Sources?
Also, you're claiming that HDD is faster than SSD... Actually, you're doing something even more ridiculous. ANY PC gamer can tell you that the HDD is the last place you want to temporarily store information. SSDs are much better, but still not ideal. There's a reason devs have been asking for more RAM, and I'd like to once again point out that Nintendo is playing a dating sim game with them right now. They're aiming for a harem ending. That one's impossible to get without RAM.

Also remember that the PS3 and 360 have gone through their learning curve. These consoles are now firing on all cyclinders a lot of the time. The wii U is new and unlikely I think to be much more powerful than those consoles anyway so we should expect some of its games to be sub 360/PS3 standards.

One again ignoring all non-01.net news that we've been getting. You're seriously lucky that I responded to this with all the troll claims you've been making. Especially considering that the Wii U is made to be similar to PC architecture. That's kinda a lot easier to work with than the PS3.

I'm just stopping by the introduction area to say hello to everyone. It seems like a friendly environment here, that I will hopefully grow to be a welcomed part of. Thank you!

Welcome!

As you see, you're already a welcomed part of it

If I may ask, who/which band is your avatar?

I'm one of the Kingdom Hearts, Zelda, Minecraft and many other fandoms-fan you will meet.

Be prepared for some nice interesting conversations, and NO trolling. Our Admin Twilight Sparkle (A.k.A Feld0) takes care of trolls as if -as if... you know what? There's just no trolls here and when one comes, he makes sure they're gone before they even cause any trouble


I'm sure I'll see ya around as everybody always likes New Members and no one will look at you like an outside

See ya!

This seems relevant and kinda nice:

The most important part:

"Me and Jens have only two more major features we want to implement before the release in November. The plan it to stop all new development on October 18, and resume them again after the release on November 18. That will give us one month to focus on just fixing bugs, cleaning up the code, and optimizing the performance to make sure the release will be as good as possible."
