Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: wtZzz on June 16, 2012, 03:05:17 pm I think wii U is going to be legit but expensive. Wii U troopers are ready
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 16, 2012, 04:08:20 pm needs medal of honor heroes 3 for me to give a damn about it
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Laughing Turd on June 16, 2012, 04:09:09 pm I hear it's going to have a modified friend code system....
:-\ Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Baw on June 16, 2012, 04:11:37 pm I think wii U is going to be legit but expensive. Wii U troopers are ready I actually don't think it will be that expensive. Nintendo seems to be pretty good at pricing. I see it being $350 max. It'll only be as legit as the games they make for it and at E3 the Wii U games were pretty disappointing outside of Pikmin 3, which has to have online and DLCs or Nintendo is still in the dark ages. I see Nintendo's online being on par with PSN or maybe a little worse. I know I'll end up getting the system sometime next year, unless the game lineup is just pitiful. I hear it's going to have a modified friend code system.... Jesus Christ, I hope you're wrong or Nintendo his learned nothing.:-\ Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Laughing Turd on June 16, 2012, 04:17:57 pm I'll try and find the article I read...wherever it is that i read it.
EDIT: it's not the same one I read but I just read this article and it says that it will indeed use FC's but it will be easier to do. It says Xbox and PS3 users would like it more... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-06-12-nintendo-promises-more-user-friendly-friend-codes-for-wii-u Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Ps358 on June 16, 2012, 05:27:34 pm Can they not just make gamer tags. :-X
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on June 16, 2012, 06:44:33 pm Jesus Christ, I hope you're wrong or Nintendo his learned nothing. Considering how much it changed for the 3DS (One universal friend code per system and not having to add a seperate code for every single online game) they learned something down the line. That was just one code per person and that was it. Iwata answered a FC related question with this: Iwata: We’re not completely getting rid of Friend Codes, but a function of the “Miiverse” will simplify the process of making friends with another user in the platform by eliminating the need to input Friend Codes. ^Source- 4th Question: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/120606qa/02.html (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/120606qa/02.html) I'm not completely sure what this means but they're changing something to that effect. With apparently 12 Accounts to a system, we'll have to see what happens in the coming months. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Laughing Turd on June 16, 2012, 06:51:52 pm Well I agree that we're going to have to wait until more is revealed but there just aren't too many better ways than what's currently being used on PS360. You see someone you want to befriend, look his PSN or Gamertag up and hit the "send friend request" button.
If their new FC system is as easy as that then they have nothing to worry about. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Red Fatality on June 16, 2012, 11:07:00 pm friends codes you got to **** kidding me lol. the online better be better then ps3 and 360 its suppose to be next gen seriously they need to get there **** together. hey man whats your friends code? umm idk let me go look it up 414342bew32 **** that **** its 2012
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 16, 2012, 11:48:59 pm It's also a convenience thing. If I told someone, "hey add me on psn, MrPillow92" they're going to remember that no problem. A 12 friend code is a pain in the ass however.
And Baw, I have to disagree with you on the DLC. I miss the days when extra modes/secret levels were unlocked by playing the damn game, not by $14.99. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Baw on June 17, 2012, 08:12:52 am Ok, about the friend codes, they are an extreme pain in the ass but if it's just one friend code for an account I don't think it'll be that bad but still not as good as just "Hey bro what's your gamertag?" "Oh, it's EIiteCIutch007, add me so we can **** some n00bs in COD."
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: wtZzz on June 17, 2012, 01:45:46 pm hey don't touch my topic, start your own topic.
wii u is going to be expensive, didn't you see the controller lol. i think it will have better graphics, better wifi, be more gamer friendly, etc. i wouldnt worry about the games yet, they never have good games pre-announced. the games will come. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Baw on June 17, 2012, 05:24:17 pm hey don't touch my topic, start your own topic. Sorry, didn't know that topics weren't meant to be commented on. b)wii u is going to be expensive, didn't you see the controller lol. How much do you think the console is going to be exactly? Some sources say that the controller's cost of production is $50. And like I said before, Nintendo has been historically good with controlling cost of production, aside the 3DS. Plus, they are the most family-oriented video game console maker so they're not going to have their product too high, since they're trying to reach the soccer moms and grandmas.i think it will have better graphics, better wifi, be more gamer friendly, etc. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Red Fatality on June 17, 2012, 10:45:28 pm I use to be a big nintendo fan but i just couldn't get into the wii. ya they had some good games i loved the **** out of wawaii mohh2 smash brawl madworld and afew others but it just doesn't compare to 360/ps3. I hope wii u will keep up with ps4 and whatever the microsoft product is and not be behind those if it does it will most likely just sit there and collect dust like my wii does now. Im really not that excited about it i have yet to look a dam thing up about it tbh

Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 18, 2012, 02:52:13 am strikers charged was a 1st party game... it was nintendo <_<

It just had a good community and good lobby system. In short, all third party games sucked for the Wii.Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MEX on June 18, 2012, 11:27:17 am Wii U will be less than $400 dollars.
The 3DS uses one universal friend code so I'm expecting the Wii U to do the same thing.

The 3DS uses one universal friend code so I'm expecting the Wii U to do the same thing. What Id like to know is if you still have to trade that code with someone verbally or if you can meet someone online and transmit your code to them, they just click "add friend code" or something and it's done. Maybe as soon as he clicks add his wii automatically sends his own friend code and your wii automatically accepts it. the whole thing is that i don't want to have to input anything manually.

Did that mother****er just say, "The purpose of Miiverse is to add ... a new level of empathy between players"? Have these people ever played an online game in their lives? It could be that the word "empathy" is just one of those words that gets mixed up in translation from Japanese to English. Maybe they meant "racism." Because that's far more seated in reality than the male cattle dung they're just making up as they go along."
So much truth. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MEX on June 20, 2012, 10:22:12 am Wii U will be less than $400 dollars.

Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Falinkosteen on June 20, 2012, 02:44:23 pm Haha the **** article pretty much sums up my opinions on the Wii U. I want to give Nintendo my money, but they keep pushing me away. I just don't anticipate the Wii U getting much 3rd party support. Perhaps I'm wrong, but wasn't the complaint from this gen that it was difficult to make a game for ps3/360 hardware, and then try to port that to Wii? It's the exact same thing here... Nintendo will be a generation behind in hardware, and developers would have to choose Wii U or Xbox 720, PS4, and PC. With pretty much non-existent 3rd party support (Although I do love pikmin... And I think the controller would be great for battalion wars) I don't think I could force myself to shell out any money for a Wii U :-\

I mean they did have third party support for Wii and still do, but it's all mostly garbage with a few exceptions like Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Ninty just recently released Pikmin 2 again with Wii controls and I'm having a blast playing that game again. Now as far as Xbox 720 and PS4 go well they will be obviously be more powerful than the Wii U, but it'll be a while before they come out and probably too late to beat the Wii U in the console wars. By then the Wii U will be more affordable and will have a ton of games to choose from. You can always buy a Wii U and also a PS4/720 later down the line too. Many gamers own a Wii with either a 360 and/or PS3. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MG Maxdaddy on June 20, 2012, 04:15:54 pm I'm expecting good things from the Wii U (fingers crossed). I only play the Wii now and it will play any of those games so that's one thing.
I could have bought another console a long time ago, but I play for the controls and not the graphics. If the Wii U plays like the Wii but with ps3/360 graphics then I'll be satisfied right off the bat. Anything else it does after that will just be bonus to me. I do like the universal remote idea. A good touchscreen remote will run over $100 easy. It's all gonna depend on the price for me. Really hope the $299 rumors are accurate. I'm thinking it's gonna be closer to $400 at launch. Lol, it won't matter to some people if it is virtual reality with a built in glory hole. Haters are gonna hate. :P Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on June 20, 2012, 05:12:25 pm I have not seen that name Falinkosteen in such a long time.

And I guess I don't count the shovelware titles as 3rd party support. I think that the wii with this gen's graphics has decent potential, but I just don't get the feeling that many developers would go out on a limb and try to make a killer Wii U exclusive. (Not saying that it's not possible, or that I wouldn't want that) Fact is that they know the **** market is there for ps4, xbox 720, and pc. With Wii U I think it's kind of a ****. Wii U will have a **** audience, but I don't think it will be very big, and developers need to make a profit. Regarding the option to buy the other consoles down the line, that is true. The next gen doesn't have me too excited I'm afraid. Wii U is the only console I'd consider getting because Nintendo actually tries to create a unique experience. I feel like pc has better offerings than xbox or playstation, but it doesn't have anything Wii-like.
And I'm surprised how many names I actually recognize here still. Nice to know that the community is still alive :) edit: Hahaha. h@rdc0re is censored!? That's funny. And g@mbl3? Not sure I understand that one Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Turboweasle on June 20, 2012, 06:07:05 pm That's thanks to SMF.

Xenoblade is a first party game. Not really. Nintendo helped bring it over here (GameStop also helped), but in Japan it's not first party. I wish this was an exclusive franchise from Ninty, but they can release Xenoblade Chronicles on PS3 or 360 if they wanted to. This game is just amazing. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Falinkosteen on June 20, 2012, 10:09:35 pm Hmmm. College, xbox, and I feel like there should be more but I can't think of anything noteworthy :P
And not to intentionally hijack Zzz's thread (well that's not entirely true... Oh well) How have you been? I must say I was surprised to still see you active here. For some reason I thought about MOHH2 yesterday, then got all nostalgic and googled falinkosteen and found that most of my contributions to the internet are in the form of gamefaqs posts, posts here, and those annoying server tracker things from random steam games Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Turboweasle on June 20, 2012, 11:17:27 pm Pretty much the same, except substitute Xbox with PS3. And for some reason I haven't grown tired of this place yet, hence why I'm still here.
Steam, hmm? This news pleases me. What's your ID? Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Falinkosteen on June 21, 2012, 06:33:47 am Well that's good to hear. And I believe mine is falinkosteen on Steam

F-Zero Starfox Mario Kart and Smash Bros being released on an HD console with a little to no lag online. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 21, 2012, 11:24:25 pm Not really.

It's cause I remembered Monolith Soft released games for the PS2, but apparently Nintendo owns them now. Welcome to the Nintendo family Xenoblade Chronicles! I hope this game gets an HD version on Wii U. Personally, I'm sick of the HD port trend we saw this gen. PS3 is especially notorious for this, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and God of War got their wholes series ported into HD, and of all those we had one new game (God of War). Ratchet and Clank however hasnt had any HD ports and All4One is the 4th R&C game on the PS3. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on June 22, 2012, 12:40:07 am A few hours ago I was talking to my brother about the whole "HD port release" thing. I don't really like it myself (I guess it would depend on the game/s) but there have been quite a few.
Pillow mentioned: - Jak & Daxter - God of War - Sly Cooper Then there are a lot more: - Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - Devil May Cry HD Collection - Ratchet and Clank Collection (in October) - Okami HD (PS3) - Resident Evil 4 HD - Resident Evil Chronicles Collection HD (Umbrella & Darkside Chronicles) - Rayman 3 HD - Beyond Good & Evil HD - Prince of Persia Classic Trilogy HD - Silent Hill HD And there are a lot more where that came from. It's pretty ridiculous how almost all of these games were from last gen. I'd love to see a new Star Fox game with the multiplayer/online to be like Star Fox Assault's Multiplayer. For anyone that played the multiplayer in that game, it was awesome even with just 2 people. I also went ahead and stickied this topic if that was ok. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 22, 2012, 12:46:43 am exactly. though to be fair prince of persia has still gotten out a couple titles. but mgs! one title out, and then another one thats been worked on for years? Same with DMC, how the crap did we go from 3 to one for the entire generation?
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MEX on June 24, 2012, 08:56:28 pm I think a certain select few should get HD ports like Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on June 24, 2012, 09:09:02 pm Even though they would be cool in HD, I find it frustrating how much Nintendo reuses their games. Re-releasing half of their games onto the Wii is just so incredibly lazy.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 24, 2012, 09:49:36 pm I think a certain select few should get HD ports like Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles. and that's how it works. Those are the select few that you want... Like with Sony, really the select few titles I'd be interestedin HD is just Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4. The select few titles someone else is interested in is God of War and Jak and Daxter. At the end of the day, Sony just resells all their old games and it goes over everybody's head. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on June 25, 2012, 01:28:00 am Even though they would be cool in HD, I find it frustrating how much Nintendo reuses their games. Re-releasing half of their games onto the Wii is just so incredibly lazy. I'm stumped on this one. Could you explain what you meant in this post? It couldn't be the New Play Control games you're referring to, right? I think a certain select few should get HD ports like Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles. and that's how it works. Those are the select few that you want...

At the end of the day, Sony just resells all their old games and it goes over everybody's head. @Mex, So basically you want the 5th release of Monster Hunter Tri? (Wii, PSP, PS3, 3DS) @Pillow, In the cases of some of the re-released "HD" games, they are usually released in collections with how 3 of the 4 games you mentioned are. In other cases they're just released as a stand alone game (RE4, Okami, etc.) Some of them may not even be graphically updated. But I guess depending on what they do content wise would affect the price. What I'd agree on for either HD ports/collections: $49.99 or full price for HD Collection of 3 last gen games (all games graphically updated) $39.99 for HD Version of last gen game (graphically updated) $29.99-39.99 for Collection of 3 last gen games (original games ported) $29.99 or less for a last gen game (original game) tl;dr Basically if they put the original games as a collection and sell it like that with no extras then it shouldn't cost as much as a full priced game (360/PS3 wise). If they add extras and/or update graphics and stuff like that a price close to full price games would make sense. Though they shouldn't repeatedly release the same games in different generations (ex. Final Fantasy 4). Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on June 25, 2012, 02:14:10 am Even though they would be cool in HD, I find it frustrating how much Nintendo reuses their games. Re-releasing half of their games onto the Wii is just so incredibly lazy. I'm stumped on this one. Could you explain what you meant in this post? It couldn't be the New Play Control games you're referring to, right? I also know that it's a lot easier to remake a made game with new controls than to come up with new concepts, so it is, in fact, lazy. I feel like I'm giving in if I purchased a game like that. It's just my natural tendency to rebel against money-making companies. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MrPillow on June 25, 2012, 02:19:55 am i would never spend 30 bucks on an hd port when i can probably find the original for 10 or less in a bargain bin.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on June 25, 2012, 01:20:40 pm Games like Ocarina of Time and Pikmin which they re-did. Sure, they're hits and good with the public but I think the original game should've been respected and kept alone. To me, that's like when a classic movie is made like Karate Kid and then they go and remake it. Yes, it sells and people will like it, but I think it's almost disrespectful to the original. I also know that it's a lot easier to remake a made game with new controls than to come up with new concepts, so it is, in fact, lazy. I feel like I'm giving in if I purchased a game like that. It's just my natural tendency to rebel against money-making companies. The whole deal with Pikmin is that a lot of people believed that it would play better with the Wii Remote pointer and it does. I see the New Play Control Pikmin games gives us a taste of how Pikmin 3 will be on the Wii U. I see how you feel about it disrespecting the original game but that is not how I see it. The original game is still there on the Gamecube or on the Nintendo 64 just like the original Karate Kid is still out there on VHS, DVD or BluRay. The Pikmin games are like putting the original Karate Kid on DVD. Ocarina of Time 3D is like remastering Karate Kid and putting it on DVD or BluRay. This next one is just an example but Bionic Commando Rearmed is like the recent Karate Kid (no offense to the movie as I haven't seen it). Basically what I'm saying is that no one is going to look down on the original game (it's first release if it was good back then) just because it was released again on a different system later down the line. The legacy of that game won't be tarnished because of a bad port or something. I kinda went off topic with that. But something I really don't like are games that are constantly re-released on different consoles from generations ago, (sadly OOT fits in this and Final Fantasy 4). Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MEX on June 25, 2012, 10:16:28 pm @Krazy yeah you're right about Monster Hunter. I prefer Monster Hunter Tri G for the 3DS (still hasn't been announced here in the U.S! >:( ) and Monster Hunter 4 for Wii U and 3DS.

You would literally have to have a 3rd hand hahahhaa. We need EA to release a MOHH2 hd port god dammit. Hell, release a collection of vanguard, airbone, and heroes 2 on WiiU for $30 and that way you can sell more people on the inevitable 50 dollar Warfighter Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Paranoid71 on June 28, 2012, 04:47:43 am i would buy a wii u for that reason alone tbh

They re-released Frontline on PSN/XBLA for $10, HD Support, trophies/acheviments..... and no multiplayer local or online. I kinda wanna ****slap the **** outta EA for that one. Something I was just thinking about; honestly our community probably costed EA a TON of money. In what should have been a game with like 5 players left back in what, late'09 we were all still on all the time. EA only closes servers once a game hits 10% of its population or less. We probably kept it above the 10 percent mark without anyone actually buying the game for years.

Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Paranoid71 on June 30, 2012, 02:16:22 am yeah battlefield has pretty good community support... compared to COD anyway.
tbfair treyarch is also pretty good. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Baw on September 26, 2012, 10:12:49 pm I think wii U is going to be legit but expensive. Wii U troopers are ready I actually don't think it will be that expensive. Nintendo seems to be pretty good at pricing. I see it being $350 max. It'll only be as legit as the games they make for it and at E3 the Wii U games were pretty disappointing outside of Pikmin 3, which has to have online and DLCs or Nintendo is still in the dark ages. I see Nintendo's online being on par with PSN or maybe a little worse. I know I'll end up getting the system sometime next year, unless the game lineup is just pitiful. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on October 03, 2012, 04:46:40 pm Jesus Christ, am I psychic or something? Let me see. (http://alohathemuse.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/tumblr_l69zw1zqlz1qbey7h.jpg) Yes, you aren't! :P I was looking through the posts just now and wanted to bring up a few of them here. WII U needs good third party support to be great, Wii was good but all the good games except mohh2 were first party nintendo games, i.e. brawl MKWii, SMgalaxy It's starting out that way considering the launch games and the launch window (http://wiiunite.smfforfree3.com/index.php/topic,23115.msg440083.html#msg440083). Also with games coming out after the fact (Bayonetta 2, if you consider it that way). Wii U will be less than $400 dollars. He was also right. Haha the **** article pretty much sums up my opinions on the Wii U. I want to give Nintendo my money, but they keep pushing me away. I just don't anticipate the Wii U getting much 3rd party support. Perhaps I'm wrong, but wasn't the complaint from this gen that it was difficult to make a game for ps3/360 hardware, and then try to port that to Wii? It's the exact same thing here... Nintendo will be a generation behind in hardware, and developers would have to choose Wii U or Xbox 720, PS4, and PC. With pretty much non-existent 3rd party support (Although I do love pikmin... And I think the controller would be great for battalion wars) I don't think I could force myself to shell out any money for a Wii U :-\ This pretty much goes with Paranoid's first quote. We also don't know how powerful the next Microsoft or Sony consoles will be yet. Sony might have to either stick with the PS3 or not have a huge jump in power for their PS4 because of all the money they lost this generation. Then there's Vita that isn't doing much anywhere. Microsoft I could see upping their power. I'm quite confident that Nintendo will have third party support (at least more than ever before) for the Wii U. I mean they did have third party support for Wii and still do, but it's all mostly garbage with a few exceptions like Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Xenoblade is a first party game. Apparently The Last Story and Pandora's Tower are also first party games. I think a certain select few should get HD ports like Mario Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Xenoblade Chronicles. Your wish has been granted, for MH3! We need EA to release a MOHH2 hd port god dammit. Hell, release a collection of vanguard, airbone, and heroes 2 on WiiU for $30 and that way you can sell more people on the inevitable 50 dollar Warfighter I was just posting the Wii ones off the top of my head.

We probably kept it above the 10 percent mark without anyone actually buying the game for years. In a way, that is how the current Mass Effect situation is. EA is bringing ME3 to the Wii U with another company handling the port. There isn't any confirmation of the Leviathan DLC for the Wii U version yet. They announced the Mass Effect Trilogy for the other consoles & PC that'll be the same price as ME3 for Wii U. This is pretty much the 3DS MGS 3 - MGS HD Collection situation all over again. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: MG Maxdaddy on October 03, 2012, 05:06:23 pm I was just wondering today. It will be nice that you can still play Wii games on the Wii U, but I'm guessing that you will have to start over on most games because the save is not transferable? ???
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Skeletoncrow on October 03, 2012, 09:32:48 pm No you won't have to start over, the Wii-U has magical bluetooth save file transfer capabilities. But really that is a good point and will suck. I wish that some company will step up to the plate in an attempt to make a new competitive shooting game for the Wii-U. I probably will not buy it regardless what games it has but it would be nice to see nintendo get some fps lovin.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: wtZzz on October 04, 2012, 12:10:18 am strikers charged was not a nintendo game, it was made by next level games
i think the wii u is going to replace the xbox and ps3 Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on October 04, 2012, 02:07:26 am strikers charged was not a nintendo game, it was made by next level games The Strikers series in whole are Nintendo games. Mario is Nintendo's IP and they had input on the Strikers games, therefore it is a Nintendo game. That's like saying Super Mario RPG and Mario Sports Mix weren't Nintendo games. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: NyBxJkw718 on December 01, 2012, 02:31:39 am I got the Wii U and the joint is LEGIT!!
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 01, 2012, 03:04:33 am Welcome back NyBx. What games do you have for it?
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Slaught3r on December 01, 2012, 08:41:01 am Sweet add me plz
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: ctscan on December 01, 2012, 09:31:01 am I agree, this system is pretty tight from what i've seen so far. only got BO2 so far, but will definitely look to add more games. What's recommended? I added all and will get nybx next time on. (ctscan)
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: NyBxJkw718 on December 03, 2012, 02:24:06 am Tiger I have mario bros u and nintendo land
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 05, 2012, 01:25:45 am Does Nintendo Land come with all consoles out of the box?
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 05, 2012, 10:39:34 am It only comes with the Deluxe Wii U (black one).
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 06, 2012, 11:00:29 pm So the Wii U doesn't come with any games?
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 06, 2012, 11:25:46 pm Except for Nintendo Land which is packed in with the Deluxe Wii U, no. The Basic Set comes with no games packed in.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 07, 2012, 12:13:27 am Seems like a downgrade from the original Wii, or at least that's what many consumers will deduct.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 07, 2012, 12:29:57 am Just because the Basic set didn't come with Nintendo Land? Most of the consumers are buying the deluxe set. Nintendo Land is also available separately.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 07, 2012, 12:50:27 am The Wii came with Wii Sports, which seems to be the game that had the most attention. Whenever the Wii was in the news, it was some seniors playing Wii Sports or something.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: DoubleGunz on December 07, 2012, 12:42:52 pm Wii U is a floppity flop. Oh, Nintendo, I miss the good days.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Baw on December 07, 2012, 12:45:50 pm Wii U is a floppity flop. Oh, Nintendo, I miss the good days. Yes it is, mostly due to horrible marketing. If you're not following Nintendo you probably won't even know that the Wii U exist and even then, you'll probably think it's an add-on to the Wii or a handheld.People that I know that actually play video games didn't know what the Wii U was for a while or that it even came out, just think about how many casual people actually know about it, not many. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 07, 2012, 06:28:25 pm I'm not one to bring up sales numbers or the like but the Wii U sold almost as much as the Wii did when it released back in 2006 in it's first week.
Wii U: Following its launch on Nov. 18 and with only seven days of sales captured in the data, Wii U sold more than 425,000 units, nearly matching the Wii system’s first-week total of 475,000. On the software front, New Super Mario Bros. U sold more than 243,000 units, an attach rate of nearly 60 percent. Source: http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=192434 How is it a flop? Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 08, 2012, 02:36:52 am Not matching it's predecessor's sales is a big problem. Each Star Wars movie that came out made more than the first. Each CoD seems to make more than the previous. Each new system should be selling more than the one before it, not less.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Slaught3r on December 08, 2012, 08:02:24 am Wii U is a floppity flop. Oh, Nintendo, I miss the good days. Not with me, I like it. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: ctscan on December 08, 2012, 08:29:08 am I agree Slaughter, I love it.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 08, 2012, 01:12:46 pm Not matching it's predecessor's sales is a big problem. Each new system should be selling more than the one before it, not less. That doesn't mean that it'll flop. Time will tell with that. The Wii U is the 2nd most successful console launch in sales, behind the Wii. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 12, 2012, 01:19:48 am You do realize that Nintendo has lost a ton of money recently. Microsoft, not so much.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: The Krazy One on December 12, 2012, 08:55:38 am Yeah, but that really has nothing to do with what we're currently talking about.
Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Termin8or on December 12, 2012, 09:00:17 am You do realize that Nintendo has lost a ton of money recently. Microsoft, not so much.

Actually, right now Microsoft is facing real challenges....Google is a big threat... Pretty much this ^. Also, just because the Wii U didn't live up to Wii's launch sales doesn't make it a flop. PS3 didn't come anywhere close to the PS2 either. What does make it a flop is that it's a pretty crappy system. It was a bit compelling to me for a bit but after it's release I read more about it and yeah, it's a male cattle dung system for casuals.

Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Laughing Turd on December 15, 2012, 12:22:32 am Yeah I probably should have been more clear. For the more **** gamer, it's a pretty bad system because it's tremendously underpowered. It just came out and it's only slightly more powerful than a PS3, which is terribly underpowered these days as well. Sure the gamepad might be a very unique idea but even that will be held back by it's extremly weak hardware and it's not going to help the devs push the gaming envelope.
Honestly, consoles are obsolete. PC's, in my opinion, is the way to go. There's nothing a console can do that a PC can't do or be made to do and better than a console at that. PC's push the technological envelope and are better for innovation because you don't have to wait 5-7 years for a technological refresh. Also, there's the whole argument that the Wii U is very casual and it all ties in to it's general weakness and yadda yadda yadda. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Tiger on December 15, 2012, 03:01:09 am The reason why people buy consoles over PC's is because it's way simpler, and there's very little you need to understand before you can start playing. If you can understand/afford a PC, it's definitely the way to go.

If you can understand/afford a PC, it's definitely the way to go. Agreed, that's why I think there'll be a market for both. I've flip flopped over the years between PCs and consoles...right now I'm on a console kick. I do just fine with PCs, but love the simplicity of a console right now. Title: Re: Wii U Prediction Thread Post by: Slaught3r on December 17, 2012, 08:21:22 pm Yes simplicity. I could never handle a fps on a pc. |
