Wii U to Support Only One Tablet?

Although this is still unconfirmed, a Nintendo rep has apparently stated that the Wii U will be bundled with a single tablet, and that you can not buy extras.

This would be a major disappointment for many, as it could severely limit multiplayer in most traditional games.

The rep stated that this is because the games in development are focused around a mechanic of one person using the tablet and the others using Wii remotes, which sounds admittedly awesome as an option for certain games, but not so much as a requirement for all of them.

Main word tho is: unconfirmed.

If true, that would truly suck, who wants to play MP games where 1 person gets the advantage? I wanna play something like goldeneye where my friends can't look off my screen lol

Jdoki5458d ago

Agreed.

When Miyamoto was asked the same question he said they were still looking in to it.

Makes me think that Nintendo are still quite early in testing for this. And only managed a limited demo for E3 (hence using PS3/360/PC footage, and not showing the console itself properly).

fluffydelusions5458d ago (Edited 5458d ago )

I'd be curious just to know how much one costs. There is no doubt it costs more than $100. Also the analog sticks are said to be similar to that of the 3DS which IMO sucks.

Mr Blings5459d ago

for more traditional multi player games just use the wii classic controller. That has the dual sticks n such. Just a guess. being able to have at least two slates would be nice though.

carlitoskaruuz5458d ago

I thought i saw in one of the 3rd party interviews that 4 people can play on their tablets while another 4 can play on the Wii remote. I can't remember where i saw that but i hope its true.

Jamaicangmr5458d ago

Gotta be a hugh misunderstanding. For that wouldn't make sense at all. Lets just wait till Nintendo clears this up for us before the internet goes into a frenzy over nothing.

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.

PRIMORDUS47d ago (Edited 47d 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.

0hMyGandhi72d 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.

AuraAbjure71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer73d 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.

-Foxtrot72d 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_Box72d ago (Edited 72d 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

Inverno72d ago

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

Eonjay72d 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.

Inverno71d 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.

Killer2020UK71d 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 🤷‍♂️
