Does this mean the 3tb hdd I bought won't work?

Couldn't he partition the drive somehow beforehand and only use one partition with the Wii U? Or how do those things work...?

The third party titles theyve pushed back for are year old ports.... its a sneaky move to let those games fail so they can say "cant say we never support the 3rd party titles"... Its just yet another way Nintendo has found to choke out its own consoles games so that it can dominate the gaming market for its own console and boost 1st party sales...

The year old ports are in a small minority among the 3rd party titles, silly.

As we all know, Nintendo has announced a new Legend of Zelda on the Wii U. We have been informed that the game might be the best out of all the previous Legend of Zelda titles. What do you all think? I personally believe the game will be an incredible and unforgettable experience.. The game might be released between 2013-2014..

They have? When did they announce the new Legend of Zelda? Do you have a link (no pun intended)?

Crap! I wanted to play kirby return to dream land with the wii u.

So what's stopping you? Just buy a wii-mote.

I disagree with having different colours depending on the age limit, but I like the darker blue. Would look great on Mario and Rayman games too.

Nice (I assume you'll fix the sound issues for the next episode).

But the games you list already have great graphics, even without HD. So, my pick would be Xenoblade Chronicles, because that's a bit ugly sometimes.

Right....this definitely makes sense.....but in my head its like this....I'm trading in the ps3 neway, and it sounds like I should be getting a mote and a chuck neway? Why not just grab a Wii for the next two months, enjoy that.....and that comes with a wiimote and chuck. So basically. If I'm spending 60 on wiimote and nchuck already, then why not just cough u the extra 70 or so dollars of trade in cash to have a Wii for the next two months, not too mention in could probably trade in Mario for something after, and maybe get something for the Wii console on eBay........thoughts?

My thoughts are: If the Wii is 150 bucks, and the wiimote+nunchuk is 60 bucks, you'll have 90 dollars to spend on games if you skip the Wii. Either use them for a WiiU game and a half, or get some used Wii games - there are definitely some worth playing (Pikmin, Metroid Prime trilogy, Monster Hunter tri, Xenoblade Chronicles and Super Mario Galaxy to mention a few). Plus a used wiimote+nunchuk should be a little less than $60, right? (Don't get cheap and buy a non-Nintendo made wiimote+nunchuk pair though...)

Besides, a two-month pause in your gaming is not necessarily a bad thing - read some books as a substitute to get your appetise up for the WiiU launch...

To me, it seems as if they don't want to say "PowerPC" or "Power7", simply because it is a custom chip. A modified Power7 is not the same thing as a Power7 chip. So, in the first tweets where they say "Power7", they meant it in a loose sense, that it was a custom chip, based on the Power7. And then, when people started to ask if it really is a Power7 chip, they back and say it's a custom Power architecture based chip, which is technically more true.

Edit: They probably won't answer specific questions about the exact chip, I'm quite sure Nintendo wouldn't want that to be revealed. So "Power architecture" is probably as specific as they will be.

AT NO POINT DID IBM SAY WIIU HAD A POWER 7 try reading the english languge correctly

they said a long time ago like whatson's brain YES>>>>>LIKE<<<<< whatsons brain aka 45nm and EDRAM

the above tweet or whatever again there refering to LIKE POWER7 the tweet clearly shows power7 45nm silicon on insulator the marketingh guys at IBM are marketing the PROCESS as thye same as power 7 ITS WORD TRICKERY your just not reading it right

THERE IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SINGLE THREAD CORE POWER7 IN EXISTENCE THE WIIU HAS 3X OUT OF ORDER SINGLE THREAD CORES = POWERPC 4XX FAMILY THE FASTEST 32 BIT CORE ON THE PLANET @ 5 INSTRUCTIONS PER CLOCK


ITS THE XBOX 360 EDRAM  HAS 256GB BANDWIDTH ALL OVER AGAIN words used to trick u

gx single core powerpc GX2 wiiu multi core powerpc GET IT

OK, so the words "The WiiU is a custom 45nm power7 chip" actually translates into "The WiiU is not a power7 chip. It is however built using the same process as a power7 chip." Very clever use of words, indeed. IBM almost tricked me there, glad you're here to sort things up.

OK, I can see what is meant by a "casual" gamer, but how is Call of Duty a "greater challenge" than, say, Super Mario 64? I don't understand the significance of your question. I think Call of Duty is a good example of a game that is not really meant to have much depth, but just offer some fun gameplay that appeals to a lot of people, like New Super Mario Bros, or Wii sports.

So... is there still going to be a discussion about this, or do we believe IBM is telling the truth here...?

u can't be serious. if this isn't a leak on the internet then i don't know what is XP

Yeah yeah... I just meant that if game shop owners knew, everybody would knew immediately, and there would have been the same rumour all over the internet. But sure, the first post about the rumour would have to be somewhere, so why not here, right?

You make some really good points. Now that I read your post I'm thinking it probably is fake.

Agreed.
