For the love of crimedy . . . Why do these articles keep getting approved? I mean honestly, it's virtually the same article, spouting the same rant. Only difference is the host website and the author. Come on N4G - I know this is Sony Fanboy Haven and if anyone dare speaks negatively of Sony it's off with their heads - but is the manufactured hate towards Nintendo and even Microsoft necessary?
I see that people are quite quick to stereotype Nintendo fans as being &quo...
Haven't you people ever heard of "unannounced titles"? Of course the system wouldn't have the same plethora of games as the X360 and the PS3 have now. Those are established, 7 year old consoles. The Wii U is a 4-month, fairly new console, that has yet to find it's voice yet.
Nintendo did mention that their are some unannounced titles on the horizon, and there's still E3 where third-party devs who are currently supporting the system can make new annou...
No, my friend. You're comment is ignorant. Even if the Wii had the same casual appeal, but it was priced remotely close to the 360 or PS3, it wouldn't have sold as well as it did. One of the main points of a products health is it's price. Obviously, if it has an attractive (cheap) price, it's going to sell more than a product that's more expensive, but in the same genre. Especially in such a terrible economy, the Wii was a nice family-oriented console at a family-oriented ...
Nintendo will have the same advantage that it had last-gen ~ Price. Both the Wii U and the 3DS are an investment right now, but they're not the most expensive devices in their categories.
It's cool that the PS4 and the 720 have the "totally awesome specs that will be able to run these totally awesome engines that power these totally awesome and beautiful games" - that everyone is drooling over -but all that comes with a price(tag) - and a hefty one at that. ...
FPS isn't my genre - But I must say, the Gamepad features look pretty cool and innovative, not to mention the graphics are top-notch.
Ubi seems to be pretty keen on making sure they bring out a good amount of new, quality titles to the system. At least one big developer is showing significant interest in the Wii U.
@Dno
- Need for Speed Most Wanted U is one single game that proves that at 4-months in its lifetime, Wii U is indeed more powerful than the X360 and PS3. Imagine 2 years from now?
But alas, it's people like you who refuse to look at the bigger picture, and just keep chanting the same "Wii U is underpowered!". But whatever you want to believe is up to you
If you guys actually took time out to read the article, you'd see that Miyamoto said NOTHING about the PS4 or 720. That's what the original author of the article added - not Miyamoto.
Well, it's also coming to Wii U. So technically, it IS coming to a next-gen console. But like "Vinc360" said, they could release a port later, like how they made "Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition" for the Wii U.
Maybe a range-extender can be developed. That shouldn't be impossible. NYKO has already released two power-upgrade options for the Gamepad "Uboost" and the "Power Pak". Both extend battery life majorly, even up to 8 hours.
@OmegaSlayer
- Doomed? 4 months on the market, and it's doomed? Hah. The thing is selling on par with the 360 and PS3 at the same time period (4 months). Like every new console, it's going through the infancy drought. Looking at recent times, PS3, Vita, X360 and 3DS ALL went through it. But now look at them?
All the Wii U needs is time. It's FAR to early to call it "doomed" or a "failure". Why? Because all consoles before it ha...
Miyamoto is correct.
ALL consoles go through the 'infancy drought phase', so it's beyond me why so many people are slamming the Wii U for having it, like it's anything new. The infamous PS3 and X360 weren't always getting a torrent of new releases. It took a while before development fired up, because, like Wii U, they were new.
The Wii U will get new releases on a regular bases in due time. Patience is necessary. I wonder what everyone wi...
I still want my NFS Most Wanted U demo!
The Wii U's storage can be easily expanded with the use of an external hard-drive. They aren't monster expensive to buy, you know?
As for Internet connections - the Wii U is also compatible with the "Wii LAN Adapter" add-on, so yes, it CAN use a LAN connection.
@LKHGFDSA :
- Oh it isn't? The overall success of the console goes by how well the console is selling. That determines the success of any product, my friend. If you have a product, and there are more people just like you who have a product of the same kind, and you put it up in stores, what are you trying to do? Compete for sales, correct? You're the one trying to get the most sales, because if it's selling, it's becoming successful.
And here you are trying to knock a console 4 months into it's lifespan. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, good sir. Fan, yes. Fan"boy" - No. I don't live and breath Nintendo. I do have plans to buy a PS4 at some point, but not at launch.
Anyway, my point was despite the Wii U's weaker specs, that doesn't necessarily *doom* the console. I was stating that for past three generations, the weaker console has been the one to claim top spot. You want to bash ...
Nintendo fail?
What are you talking about?
- 3DS is the hottest selling gaming device on the marker right now.
- Nintendo also won the 7th generation in both the HOME and HANDHELD console divisions. They own the most sold game console ever (DS) and third most sold game console ever (Wii).
- The Wii U has infant growing pains like every console before it. It's potential has yet to be fully realized. Yet, it's as well as the 3...
Fun Facts:
A.) The Wii U's "Slow Sales" match that of the XBOX 360's and PS3's in the same time frame. ALSO - the Wii U just recently OUTSOLD the PS3 for the first time in Japan.
B.) The Wii U's "seemingly outdated tech" has yet to see it's full potential arise yet. Not to mention, it already has two games that match that of the PC versions (Deus EX and Need for Speed Most Wanted U). Also, it's been the console with...
This sounds really amazing.
Burnout: Paradise is one of the BEST racing games I've ever played. I also plan on buying "Need for Speed Most Wanted U" also developed by them.
But seriously - where's the Wii U tag? I'm sure we can expect to see it on the Wii U as well.
JUST DANCE has now become a money-milking machine for Ubisoft. It's like a new iteration comes out every time a new set of popular songs adds up - which only takes a few months. Don't get me wrong, the games are fun, but is a NEW GAME - following the exact same formula truly necessary this much times? I mean really. Just release the new songs as DLC, instead of a $30+ game every few months. I find it stupid.
I have no hate for the JUST DANCE franchise, don't get m...
I kind of agree with you here. Development costs are on the rise, but the economy is still like a turtle that's rolled over on it's back. The gaming industry seems to be moving faster than the money it takes to fuel it, which is a big problem.
It's nice to have these superpowerful consoles to run these new stellar engines... but the price is a wallet breaker. Only so much people can afford to shell out almost $500(without even including the cost of a new controll...
