Five Wii U Issues You May Have Not Considered

gamrFeed writes:-
"The Wii U has the potential to shake up the industry again with an all new way to play on a home console. But while many sit around wondering about what the new controller can achieve and how their favorite Nintendo franchises will look in HD, it's easy to overlook some of the issues the system may present. Potential problems like system specs and online functions have already been discussed at length by many, including us. But what about some of the smaller issues. Let's take a look at some issues that are unlikely to be a huge factor when purchasing, but may cause a bit frustration to those who pick up the Wii U."

"Super Smash Bros. Will Never Be the Same"

Damn never thought about that point. I loved using the gamecube controller.

Wouldn't you think Nintendo would bring out a normal controler for next gen (an official gamecube styled controler for next gem)...just for the people who don't want to use that controler all the time. It's not like it would be that hard to do....it's like there setting themselfs up to fail even more.

If the price is high parents wont buy it for their kids.

Nintendo will probably make a gamecube controller that can be used for the WiiU

MasterCornholio5436d ago

I agree with you that Nintendo will probably design a core controller for the WiiU.

ChickeyCantor5435d ago

it will just use the Classic pro which you attach to the wii-mote.

I dont have any problems with things on this list

except my gamecube controller :/ one of the best controllers of all time i got like 9 of them.

and i really dont see any problems with lack of a harddrive o.o
pop in a sd/usb and boom just as good and a cheaper alternative + the abilities to make backups and transfers.
harddrives seem to only cause problems and unless its a ssd its old tech.

MasterCornholio5436d ago

Its a bizarre little console with the strangest feature being the controller. Many people will be like me that they will have to try it before buying. Cant wait to try out this little bugger.

Getowned5436d ago (Edited 5436d ago )

this is all speculation not actual facts tho,i don't have any kids so there no issue there for me and i have rechargable batteries for all my wiimotes loss of the game cube controller dosen't really shock me but i wonder if they will still keep those classic controller pro's around,anyway im going to wait for actual word from nintendo any thing outher then that is all speculation comeing out of peoples rear end.

jacksonmichael5436d ago

Points 1, 3 and 5 (or 5, 3 and 1, however you want to number them) have all been confirmed by Nintendo. You just got owned, Getowned.

Getowned5436d ago

really didn't know they were going with SD again,wonder how that's going to work,you really don't need a huge hard drive for the wii u because it's not like the 360 and ps3 it's just a pure gaming system with no multimedia like music or videos but that dosent sound good for dlc or people who download alot of 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.

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

0hMyGandhi83d 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.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d 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.

-Foxtrot83d 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_Box83d ago (Edited 83d 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

Inverno83d ago

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

Eonjay83d 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.

Inverno82d 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.

Killer2020UK82d 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 🤷‍♂️
