As E3 2012 creeps its way closer once again, we turn our attention to the major game companies we so loyally follow for new games and hardware. E3 this year in particular will be pretty exciting for those interested in next generation consoles. Rumors are spreading like wildfire about the PS4/Orbis, and the Xbox720/Durango being announced at this event, but there lies no rumors regarding the Wii U, Nintendo’s announced and dated next gen console.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
A WiiU price drop? Oh come on, we don't even know the price yet.
Priority for a system that's doing really well sales wise? Sure that makes sense, why have the focus on the new system Nintendo is trying to get gamers excited for. /s
otherwise
Nintendo coming to E3 with there first region free console would really help them.
yea ps4 will have the tablet probably, when e3 comes its ps3 game over yes the ps4 will be needed once wii u shows the way
the only thing Nintendo needs to do at E3 is show/prove that the WiiU is indeed a next gen console that will offer up more than just getting Nintendo to the current level of console performance. If they show the WiiU has some beef to it and will be viable for 3 to 4 years atleast then they have done what they need to imo.
A new Zelda for 3DS and a new 3DS model with 2 sticks will make my day :)
