Wii U console and controller won't be sold separately

CVG: "We asked a company spokesperson at the firm's VIP stand at E3 2011 in Los Angeles today about the price of each item. He told us that there would only be one bundled RRP, adding: "Both the controller and the console will be sold as one unit. You won't be able to buy the controller alone."

i don't thin that will be the case these gaming companies make money of selling controllers so i doubt they wouldn't sell em individually for whatever reason

Perhaps he was confirming that the controller is not a console and that you need the controller to use WITH the console.

"You wont be able to buy the controller alone" may mean you can't expect to buy just the controller and play the games.

I'm sure that it will be sold separately, it's too moronic not to and CVG is too unreliable of a site.

if this is true (only one person using tablet in every game)this seems kind of stupid.

-Alpha5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

Sorry, wrong post

Well thats were online play comes into the picture. And the games they were showing at E3 were designed around the fact that one person has the controller while others play with Wii Remotes. It works well. Watch the demos of people playing or read a preview.

Don't worry. The PS4 will support multiple tablet, and you'd praise them as the most innovative company in the world for doing that, am I right?

nolifeking5502d ago

I'm sure the ps4 would just use 4 vitas.

It's sad that you have to clarify that, should be obvious, but after looking at their reveal, I can see why it wasn't crystal clear.

-Alpha5502d ago (Edited 5502d ago )

I think it's a communication error either on CVG's part or the unaccountable VIP.

So if the controller somehow breaks, we have to buy a new console? =|

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
