"They worked very hard to make videos run smoothly in the new browser in response to the trend of watching and not just reading and looking things up. You’ll be able to watch the Nintendo Direct presentations on the GamePad or your TV!"

Nice!

Watching that trailer makes me see exactly how easy it is to get used to this. :)

zgoldenlionz4981d ago

Looks pretty cool, I've been wondering about the browser and im liking what I see.

WiiUalpha4981d ago

So far the browser is my only complaint. Not having any add on support could be a bad thing. Yes HTML5 is set to be the new standard but what happens if something better comes along? THey've left themsevles no way to support it

deafdani4981d ago

They can always improve the browser or anything else with updates, you know.

WiiUalpha4981d ago (Edited 4981d ago )

No actually they cant. It offers no add on support at all. That means it will not support anything oter than HTML5. If they could update it later then i wouldnt clearly say no add on support.

If it was as easy to do as you claim, it would be built with that functionality to begin with. It does not support add ons. It was built from the ground up to only support HTML5.

Wizziokid4981d ago

He means they can upgrade when ever / if they want to.

Software updates anyone?

Neonridr4981d ago

wait, so you are telling me they can't add in support for other devices through firmware updates? The PS3 did not come with 3D support out of the gates, it was added in with a firmware update. You honestly think that they can't add in support for other programs if they should choose to do so?

cleft54981d ago

This definitely is going to be something fun. I loved how seamless everything works.

Agheil4981d ago

Honestly I can't see myself buying a WiiU until something like SSB comes out

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.

PRIMORDUS88d ago (Edited 88d 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.

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

0hMyGandhi113d 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.

AuraAbjure113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer114d 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.

-Foxtrot114d 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_Box114d ago (Edited 114d 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

Inverno114d ago

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

Eonjay114d 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.

Inverno113d 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.

Killer2020UK113d 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 🤷‍♂️
