It's not 7 year old hardware. It doesn't ahve blu-ray, it has proprietary discs, which hold the same capacity as blu-ray (50gb dual layered). It doesn't have harddrive, it has flash memory with a purposeful push for consumers to get external drives. It cut out the $100 HD price attached to most consoles.

The GPU isn't 7 year old tech, it's completely customized and has things 7 year old GPU's can't do. It's probably more around a 2010/2011 type...

Indeed. The Wii U, however, isn't. :)

Sure did. The only problem with the Wireless connection stuff is that the Wii U has problems with routers that are 3+ years older. It's not a problem for me with my new wireless N+ last year, but I know many have problems with the older routers.

IT should be noted this is just their opinion, and several other opinions have gone in the other direction.

Reasons for Wii U

1. Better overall community online. No 12 year old wankers.
2. Achievements that what, tell you that you killed this and did that. I don't need a trophy to tell me I "played a game". Progress and completition of the campaign should be it's own reward. Also, it's Activisions fault if their aren't achievements, not Nintendos. They are optional.
3. The most important part: The controls are superior. It cannot be unders...

I love your completely sound logic.

The praise Nintendo receives is mostly from the non-gaming medium. CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, etc. Those outlets sing Nintendo's praise. Meanwhile, GameTrailers, Kotaku, and many others say a lot of negative things. Remember, this isn't always the writers themselves... but the fan base responses to what the writers say.

You have to go outside of ones own bubble and you will quickly see how badly Nintendo is being painted right now by the general internet gaming populace. ...

Actually, if you click on the image, it presents an entire magazine digitally. The current issue, with 60+ pages.

"Exclusive to PS brand" FF characters you're referring to are already in a game on 3DS. It's called Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Let's not be so unfair to internet people. :P

This is the most horrible article I have read in my entire life.

"2.
Final Fantasy XIII
If you’re not prepared to sit through 25 hours of linear corridors before getting to the good stuff then you have no right to call yourself a gamer. Go play Wii Sports or something. 25 hours is nothing if you’re hardcore enough to handle it. Besides you get some great combat and gorgeous cut-scenes during that time."

What? Why the hell should I su...

1. The 3DS Cartridge is 2GB, more than enough for the game.

2. Way to take his words out of context about the eye pain.

Please note that we still haven't heard back from the guy who posted them. We will update the news post as soon as we do... Or if we don't, in a few hours.

Well, it's not like Dead Rising is a very deep game to begin with. Boob-teasing doesn't really seem to be below it.

To clarify: you will find that "half-asked" is the correct or more formal term. "Half-assed" is the slang or more commonly used form of the term, however it is not proper.

Either way, the term has the same meaning, so you are being unfair in your judgments of the author.

1. Actually read the article.
2. There has been a Zelda released every year in the past Decade save one year, meaning 9 titles have come out. 9. Someone said call of duty had 7, well Zelda had even more. When I look at Zelda I don't just look at console, I look at handheld as well.

If you guys take the time to read the article, instead of reading the headline and going off, you may be completely suprised. Have a great day!

To be fair, TWW's entire story was leaked before the game came out, by the same folks over at 2chan. So laugh away, but they have leaked many, and do mean many, top tier gaming information in the past. I am not saying this stuff is true, the site itself even says to take it with a grain of salt, but it isn't impossible.

Guys, in case you didn't check the specs, the wii is slightly more powerful then the original xbox. Sure, it doesn't have "hd", but thats merely a resolution, not a major gameplay ploy. Remember RE 4 on the GCN? Fantastic.

All those "games" you guys talk about, the same sort of game sthat were on the xbox... the Wii CAN do. How does the Wii ruin Zelda? Twilight Princes was a GCN game, and no one has even seen PREVIEWS of the new one, but now it will suck becau...

I am sorry you didn't enjoy the piece: It was meant to spark conversation, which it has. I would suggest checking out our bombers area on the site if you want good stuff. All those articles are top notch Zelda pieces. This was more of a casual conversation starter.

Um, admitting you were wrong is a hard thing to do for most anyone. Maybe you wouldn't use the term courage in the effort of admitting so, but that doesn't actually defeat the point. You are at a site full of fan boys gushing here, gushing there, gushing everywhere. Now, suddenly, that's a bad thing?

Courage maybe should be exchanged with the word willingness. Of course, what you are describing, according to the dictionary, is coined "Heroic Courage", which does imply t...
