Wii U Will Have 3D Compatibility, But Not At Launch

It has recently been confirmed to me from my anonymous source, who has given The Gamer Scene rumours previously and has very strong ties with Nintendo, has confirmed that the Wii U will support 3D – and in 1080p too!

I'm not really surprised about the 3D part because I'm sure Nintendo could do something really creative with 3D. I'm more surprised about having 3D at 60 Frames per second.

who gives a crap about 3D... It was basically a way to make people go out and buy new TV's they didn't need... and now it's like a default feature for all TV's...
You can barely find a new TV that isn't 3D, smart TV, with WiFi.
3D is a gimmick... It's pretty much tacked on garbage used to raise the price of movies, TV's, etc

edgeofsins5053d ago

Have you played games that have good 3D? 3D is awesome. Some console games are good in 3D but PC games do it way better.

The 0 agrees on your comment show you should probably try it before being so judgmental about it.

I see a lot of non 3D TV's btw. People don't need TV's in the first place. If people get a 3DTV it is because they want it. If you don't want it then don't get it.

avengers19785053d ago

@edgeofsins, that's the the thing I have tried it... I have my own 3D television for some time, and have watched movies and played games in 3D, and it adds nothing... Now ,like almost everyone I know that actually has 3D, It is barely used at all.
And you don't see alot of new tvs coming out non-3D... Id say those are the older models that are still being sold...

Nutsack5054d ago

It has no 3D at launch

It has no 1080p games at launch

It has no dual tablet controller support at launch

I bet the rest Nintendo says will also be dumbed down, it won't have 60fps, when two tablet controllers are used it won't be a fixed 30fps but drop below, the online network won't work properly, basically its the Wii all over again.

WiiU stands for WiiUpgrade. Slight evolution, no revolution.

Do I detect a hint of scepticism?

Nah, I'm probably just reading too much into it.

Smh.

Judging by this, you are a misinformed fanboy that needs to crawl into a dark hole and die, so you don't infect anyone else with your stupidity...

And your name is Natsuck so I didn't expect anything rational to be in your comment.

FinalomegaS5053d ago

Mr.Slaughter sir, can you go put him and the 16 others that agreed with him out of their misery lol

Clearly this is a wiiu tag thread and he not only defiles the soil with his tainted mombo jumbo but ads more insult with the picture...

* pitch forks *

Tonight we burn their homes down!

Summons755054d ago

Wait so did Assassin's Creed 3 go from 1080 to 720 without anyone knowing except you?

3d isn't necessary but Ubisoft did confirm that WiiU AC3 will be the only version to be in 1080p, and unless that AC3 got pushed back to next year it's releasing in october which means it will be in the launch window

avengers19785054d ago

@nutsack it has none of this at launch because it's incapable of it... WiiUpgrade is about right,
What happens when real next gen consoles hit... then what...

yabhero5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

If it's incapable of it then why has the console already been confirmed to do 1080p and 2 controllers at 30 FPS #Gapinyourlogic

BTW people this is old news, Iwata already said WiiU would support 3DTVs and 3D he just said they wouldn't push it as a main feature of the console.
Confirmed June 6... of last year.
http://www.joystiq.com/2011...
When the OTHER next gen consoles hit people will be disappointed when they aren't as powerful as expected.

Calling it, this gen, will be like the 6th gen in terms of power with WiiU as the weakest of course but still being able to get games like PS2 was.

Every 3rd party game is 1080p and with better graphics/AI/Gameplay in some cases Razors edge has more levels and better animations and this is just on ports that cost less than 1 million dollars so get a grip kid this statement says 1080p in 3D meaning if you have a 3D tv that supports HD/3D than your good to go.

Read the E6760 gpu as thats the gpu the wiiu is based off it has every feature that has and more ?

NINTENGEN.COM has the specs link ? and it states eyefinity/HD3D/DX11/OpenGl4.1/ Compute shader 11.

That's means BS 3d not real 3d.. Lol ill pass. Byyyyy the easy i have a 50 inch Samsung 3d TV i bought when i bought kz3 looks great in 3d..

mike1up5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Neutrality at its finest /s.

yabhero5054d ago

It's the same kind of 3D that PS3 and 360 do... if WiiU's 3D is BS but it's the same as PS3 how is it BS? Or are you just trolling? Or is PS3 3D BS too? #Gapinyourlogic

metroid325053d ago

ps3/360 can't Do HD3D look up Radeon E6760 specs thats what the wiiu can do but some of the specs have been beefed up.

thezeldadoth5054d ago

confirmed to me by my anonymous source? This guy sounds like a douche. Pass until real info.

TheGamerScene5054d ago

I trust this author and source 500%

archemides5185054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

really? well ask this source and author exactly WHICH 3dtv or projector can display 3d at 1080p and 60fps other than a few specialized computer monitors.....because THEY DON"T EXIST. EVERY 3dtv EVER sold is technologically limited to 24fps in 1080p 3d. 720p 3d runs at 60hz though. there are some extremely weird sony (only) 3dtvs that can run 3d in 1080i, but only super specialized sony 3d camcorders use that.

IRetrouk5054d ago (Edited 5054d ago )

Load of shite, my toshiba runs 3d @ 1080p, although most 3d games don't run 3d @ 1080p, its usually 30fps @ 720p

Tacklebait5054d ago

I think the wii u would be a good system for it. Would fit well the 3d toons they use. The drop in resolution wouldn't have as big of a impact as AAA games.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi84d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer84d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot84d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno84d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay84d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno83d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK83d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
