Not really the had a pad as well, the classic controller, so the addition of the po controller is nintendi following their own footsteps again not a response to anything other than the understanding that some people may want to play "normally". I too am a gamer and though admittedly nintendo did neglect certain genres last gen this gen they r making that up. Already the have ports for the so called hardcore. They r getting bagged on for their pots but the ports I believe r just to ...
one mediocore developer says something against the wiiu and everybody jumps on board. the games they have out look and play great. it'll take some time for developers to get the hang of the wiiu set up, and its obvious that some dev companies r gonna slack ass and blame the system for their lack of effort or comprhension of the system. but why can a plethora of dev companies do impressive work on the wii u then you get this one saying how horrible it is. to say the tech is worse than this...
more than likely nintendo wont lower prices until both of its comps next gen systems are out. it can fend off x720 with games then the introduction of orbis with a price cut and games. And honestly they dont cater to their fans else there would have been a shit load more hardcore games on the wii. nintendo tries to be everything for everyone, but you know what they say about spreading your peanut butter too thin. however with the wii u, it appears nintendo has alot more peanut butter.
obviously the "hardcore" numbers dont count for much cause they outsold the comp by their total sum. and being a 18+ rated game(r) doesnt make it hardcore.
@asimleonheart... ps3 and xbox are still catching up to wii sales and thats with the recent decline in wii sales. it only makes since for thier sales to decline damn near everyone has one so thier is no left to buy it. Nintendo is the big boy which why they can afford to do thier own thing, and psoft just follows. it was inevitable for nintendo to go hd but not because the comp has it, its because now hdtv is standard in most households. Psoft next venture will not be leaps and bound moree po...
sorry i have to correct myself its not 480mbps its 35-40mbps. but still shouldnt be too bad
actually ps3 blu ray has a transfer speed of 9mbps where as xbox has a transfer speed of 16mbps. usb 2.0 has a transfer speed of up to 480mbps so it shouldnt be too bad
ummmm not to point out the obvious but hdd space is memory. maybe youre confusing it with RAM which is also memory but they are two different types of memory. one for storage one for random access which i wont go into the specifics on. so as thepcz when you run out of memory(u can also say hdd space if you want, tomato tomahto.) just attach an external hdd
a system selling out launch could be simply chalked up to fanboys, but its not so much about it selling out, its about how many units are selling when they sell out for instance wii sold out but there are more wii u units available at launch than the wii had. the ps3 sold 600,000 units the first two days, nintendo has damn near sold the lot of its 1.5 million systems availabe at launch. and retailers report 250,000+ on waiting list. thats more than just new gadget fever. more like new afforda...
@junkies... if they try to hard to make a "powerful system imagine the price range it would cost the consumer. then developers wouldnt want to make a game for a system which no one will buy. nintendo is always the least expensive unit and look at all the shit they are catching for a 349 price mark. you really think sonysoft will release new systems just 50 bucks more than their current ones? so they will be competing to keep the power at a range where they can also compete economically. ...
Waaaa, waaaa... nintendo should make a system that wipes my ass for me. Come on people, stfu and play
You can't hav your cake and eat t too. Its a NEW system being sold cheaper than it should be. If nintendo were to make another system like the wii the complaint would be its not powerful enough. Its always something. Developers epect nintendo to make there company "nintendo" money. Just make a game that sell the system and stop depending on the system to sell your lackluster games. If the wii u did absolutely everything the ipad did and sold at the same price there $100 more ep...
I actually think it might be better for the way nintendo set up there system. Its up to developers to add if they want and its not put on a leader board or anything however should you choose to go after these accomplishment you could just post it on miiverse. I think would make accomplishments more worthwhile to those who care about it. No one has to go specifically to your profle to check them cause you can brag and since miiverse is integrated into the games themselves anyone playing the sa...
@Konnerbllb...the core system had no hard drive and was price the same as wii u's basic system which has 8gb of memory, does it really count. and the pro/premium system had a 20gb hdd at 399 and no one complained, in comparison to wii u premium system which has 32gb of memory at 349 and now its like "its sooooooo expensive they should throw in a tb of memory". I'm just saying when it comes to nintendo people begin to judge awfully harsh. Even when they are being more than re...
dude when you ps3 and 380 came out they were 500- 600 bucks wwithout a game or extra controller.
how much you wanna bet? I am not discounting ms, i'm sure nextbox will be great however they will not be able to take nintendos shine. i think nintendo played their cards right. between the consoles theirs will have made the biggest technical leap i believe, take into account that we know next to nothing about whats in store for the next msony ventures. but its hard to imagine they will vastly surpass their predecessors. especially not by 6th-7th gen or wii-wii u.
im sorry but was this really the moment to cease trolling opportunity? he is not so much talking about what a system offers but the excitment of passing the torch. you must be part of gen next. this is a gen x rated article. i too have three daughters and they are supeer excited about the release of the wii u. lol, they even roll their eyes at me when im watching or reading things on the M rated games cause they just see those as time they wont get to play. happy gaming to all
yeah ur right because when i think of M rated games, HD graphics and social networking the first thing to come to mind is my children
ummmmmm third party hasnt been making things nintendo cause of graphic capability not customer demographic. the wii was aimed at the casual crowd thus it did spectacular with them. the wii u is aimed at everybody, i believe it will suceed in having something for everyone. multiple dev companies have already said the wii u is easy to develop for as well, but i guess only time will tell all we can do now is give opinionated assumptions
I really don't get reviews like this. On the miiverse people ask others should they get zombiu because they hear BS like in this article and everyone who comments back tells how great the game is and how much they love it. I've read through quite a few comments on the miiverse about zombiu and there are no negative reviews at all. Everyone whose bought it and played it loves it. Yes Jb video game media has become very biased.
