Doc

ive been a nintendo only console owner for 20 years with no regrets... even the Wii U. YES nintendo has had a terrible launch with the Wii U and they wasted a year lead they had on the competition. but i know amazing titles are coming and i do think the gamepad is AMAZING. this is a great console that will only get better.... but im not letting them off the hook. they have work to do and a lot of making up for those first day buyers.

I am very seriously considering this idea for b/c of time & money.  As it is, I currently have Wii U, 3DS, and PS3 (used to have Xbox 360 also).  Funding multiple consoles takes more money.  I'm not planning on getting rid of my 3DS but I am thinking about selling the PS3 and only having Wii U/3DS for this generation.  My favorite franchises are from Nintendo and, to be honest, I don't really have time to keep up with all the systems anyway.  

The 8GB RAM of the 720/PS4 isn't the only thing that makes it powerful, but we could run into some real issues. Games designed for the 720/PS4 but ported down to the Wii U may have cutbacks in them because of the lower amount of memory of the Wii U

Again you seem to fail to recognize how insignificant RAM becomes once you reach a certain level.  Wii U is not extremely limited compared to PC, which is where all of the "up-porting" would happen.  90% of PS4 exclusives won't use more than 2GB of VRAM, because it is prohibitively costly to create enough assets to really fill it up.  In games where it does fill up that pool, it will be due to poor memory optimization.

 

The PS4 is not going to be powerful enough to outrun the diminishing returns that have stagnated advances in PC game development.

Lol. Say what you want to but I have 13 years computer experience and 5 years computer hardware benchmarking experience. I don't need long arguments to prove myself.

 

Experience doesn't improve ignorance.

No, that's the whole point. The Wii U is considered next gen and will be lumped with the 720 / PS4. Does it make sense... no.

 

This just in, Cyanotic also believes in psychics, unicorns, and that the world is flat.

 

If you are going to keep pressing that power makes up the definition of next gen, you should also consider efficiency. Since the Wii U is more efficient then it's predecessor's and yet is more powerful then ps360, it's next gen. You should win your own argument. 

Actually i talk to him on skype every now and then, he told me he would be online but it would stir up drama.

 

LOL.

 

Imagine how it looks, you run arguably the best Wii U website out there, and you also run a successful My Little Pony forum. On one, you hardly post and hide your online status. You bring in an admin (Mournblade) so some of the heat can be taken off of you, but you don't let him do ANYTHING of relative importance without your permission first. On the other website, you post often, posts statuses, etc, and don't hide your online status. You have a BUNCH of active moderators, admins, and other general staff.

 

Which do you think is his real love? Which do you think he really cares about? The facts are on the ground folks.

Nintendo is doing a great job killing the wiiu it's self, no 1st party support or 3rd party support. Don't jump on me im just stating facts.

That's cute.  We already know we are going to get 1st party support, and most people didn't expect any support from the big third party publishers and aside from EA what we've been getting so far is decent, especially from Ubisoft, Rayman aside (grumble, lol).  True, though, they haven't released enough first party games and they should (and hopefully are) working to get better third party support.  It certainly isn't killing itself, though they do seem to be letting everything run on idle from a marketing perspective.  

With the recent expiration of the IP chat service, Feld0 and I have reached a decision on the fate of the chat.  I'm sorry to say, but we have decided to discontinue the chat.

 

Let me make it clear why we chose to do so, the chat was not helping the forum community and has slowly devolved over time.  Despite what the chat used to be in the past, it became a place to spam, questionable content, and a hotbed of drama (with various issues that leaked onto the forums themselves).  There was no one member that did this, it is the nature of a real time chat.  In a real time chat, users are less likely to act decent towards other users, whether it be because of the moderation difficulties or because they simply cannot control themselves.  There were no other real options possible to "save" the chat, the chat itself was incredibly difficult to moderate, even with administrative permissions.

 

The purpose and goal of this site is to be a great forum and community for discussing the WiiU and Nintendo, but unfortunately the chat has put a tremendous strain on the community.  Without the chat, we can focus more on strengthening the community and making it the best we can.

Damn you April fools. 

Mostly they are diehard Sonic fans that hate Mario, Trust me ive seen alot on youtube in the comments, they are not f^cking around when they say Sonic is better than Mario just cause how cool he is over Mario. Including the Sonic & All Stars is better than Mario Kart.

 

Well here's the thing, Nintendo is still alive in the console business, Sega failed with their stupid attachments. I loved Sega back then and now but these attachments were seriously unnecessary and lead to their doom.

Ugh, those stupid Sonic fanboys on YouTube are the worst. They treat Sonic characters like they are DBZ characters and defend ****ty games like Sonic '06 and rage if anyone says bad anything Sonic-related. Plus they have their stupid overpowered recolor fan characters as their avatars that lack original back stories. But the worst offenders have to be the Sonic furries you see on deviantArt with their crazy fetish artworks and stupid romance crap. Mario fanbase's is far bigger yet you don't see as much rabid Mario fanboys as you do with Sonic's I feel bad for the level-headed Sonic fans who have to put up with this crap online. To this date, I still have no idea why so much drama exists over an anthromorphic blue hedgehog who fights an evil scientist.

 

One time, I saw a diehard Sonic fanboy that said Sonic '06 was better than Super Mario Galaxy. I kid you not.

I bet they'll use the Windwaker style again, but it will probably look like it did on the Gamecube. Which in my opinion would be great, Windwaker's style is really great and it allows quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to hardware so they could no doubt match what the Gamecube was able to offer. Plus it seems to be a theme with Handheld Zelda's to use Windwaker's art to give Zelda a wider appeal. I'd just hope that for once it will be like a full 3D adventure on the handheld and not the isometric view, I loved PH and ST but Ocarina of time was great on the 3DS so a full 3D New Zelda game on the 3DS would be awesomesauce!

Edit: Also I think anything on a big screen TV looks better then on the 3DS so I doubt it will look better then Skyward sword.
