The Wii U should have some kind of 3DS player

14 November 2012 - 06:32 PM

I believe that the Wii U should have some kind of 3DS player software.

I know it sounds stupid, but is it? You should not forget about the Super GameBoy, which let you play GameBoy games on your SNES. There was also the GameBoy Player, which allowed you to play GameBoy Advance games on your Gamecube. Wouldn't it be great if the Wii U could play 3DS games?

Let's think about patterns.The Super GameBoy was released for the SNES. Nintendo's next console was the Nintendo 64, which had no such hardware. After that came the Gamecube, which hosted the aforementioned GameBoy Player. The Wii could not play handheld games. Keeping up with this pattern, the Wii U should logically be able to play games from its corresponding handheld, the 3DS.

Not only that, but this is totally possible. All of the required hardware exists within the Wii U: a touch screen and dual screens, as well as a 3D TV if the consumer owns one (you don't need to play in 3D). I imagine that, rather than playing 3DS games directly, the Wii U will be able to pick up some kind of wireless signal through which your 3DS will send information to the console. Plus, 3DS games don't look that bad with a blown up screen. Check out the 3DS XL for proof. You might also be able to search up some YouTube videos.

All in all, I think that this would be a fantastic capability for the Wii U to have. What are your thoughts about such a development?

How will the pro controller be obtained?

How do you think you'll be able to get pro controllers?

Perhaps the pro controller will follow in the footsteps of the classic controller, having to be bought seperately.
Perhaps, to appeal to the hardcore, they will come with the system.
Perhaps neither is correct.

What are your thoughts?

Real-Time Strategy

Which games from the real-time strategy genre would you like to see on the Wii U? After all, the controller is a perfect fit, and it won't have the graphical limitations of the DS.

Personally, I would love to see Starcraft or Warcraft come to consoles. There's also Battalion Wars.

[Also Pikmin 3 but that's obvious]

You can also suggest your own game, one that would take advantage of the controller even better than already-made franchises.

I hope the new controller doesn't take batteries

I hated the Wii remote's requirement for batteries with a patient. It is likely that the new controller can plug into the console directly to charge, but do you think there is an alternate way to do this?

What will Nintendo do with Mario Strikers?

11 March 2012 - 09:53 AM

I enjoyed both Mario Strikers games, and I sure do hope they make another. However, what system will it be for? The 3DS seems to be wrecking console exclusivity, what with a 3D Zelda game (granted, it was a remake), Paper Mario, Super Smash Brothers, and Mario Tennis.
So, which system will Nintendo put Mario Strikers on?
