@ Superet
It is. It's not just a new controller for Wii, it's a brand new, HD capable console.

Not legit I think. -

That's quite an imagination you've got there
Im guessing you insert the disc into the Wii and then with the additional processing power in the WiiU (What a frickin ridiculous name) so when you stream it over it appears in HD. HD shouldnt be too hard to accommodate on such a small screen. The resolution will be much lower than needed on a TV

Um. In my head that's the only way this could work! Unless they ship it with a new box. Which I find unlikely. If anything from that guardian snippet, maybe they will ship an add-on (Nintendo like doing that) to up the RAM in the system.cjb_bjc wrote:

Registered 5 years agoThe controller looks woeful; the right stick is above the buttons for a start.
Is this supposed to be better than the current consoles in terms of spec? Or is everybody excited about what is out-dated hardware in comparison with the advancing PC gaming (Christ that pains me to say it)?
Overall: Nice orchestra.FLOPS! RAM!

Registered 10 years agoAlso this is Nintendo and its about the games and how the user plays them its not about the machine itself from their viewpoint.
They have to sort out the online aspect of it though with a single username and signin etc.Everybody has secrets, life would be boring without secrets, don't you think...?

Registered 5 years agoOr..... The WiiU is a controller that can be used for both the Wii and whatever comes next. It is a stepping stone. Ie DS-> DS Lite-> 3DS. They will release the WiiU and use that for a year and then chuck the new console at us next year! That would be smart!
And that console pic is way too small to accomodate anything like the size of the motherboard that will be necessary to run anything half decent -

Exactly. I was scratching my head throughout. HD games... but it's still a Wii, right? Right? The controller is called a Wii U? Right? What the fuck am I looking at here?HoriZon wrote:

Etc.
Now I know there's a different box under the TV it makes sense and it's quite impressive, if gimmicky, but it's a far more useful gimmick than the shitty wiimote.+1 / Like / Tweet this post

Nintendo are genius in their marketing and wording. But I'm afraid this is all we will be getting. -

Considering the PSVita is half the size of the WiiU and on par with most PS3 that comment is unfounded. They stated it was their new console in the conference, from the games it will be on par with the 360 and PS3.

Registered 3 years agoWhere is this idea that Nintendo have massively innovated here coming from? Sony did this idea years ago with Remote Play, and even fucking Nintendo themselves did this years ago with GBA connectivity to the GameCube.

Registered 9 years agoTo me this is a step back towards MS and Sony, they are coming out with hardware that is 5 or 6 years old and they've added a touch screen to a controller. Going by the games reel they showed there will be a huge amount of 3rd party ports to this system. Doesn't relaly sound too different, certainly no different to Kinect. -

Thank fuck Nintendo are doing something different rather than a machine identical to the other two.
I have large doubts about the ergonomics and the small button sizes of the controller and the visuals are probably on the low side but some of the ideas look reallly cool..
Yeah that list of games they showed was completely different to what the other consoles are doing.
C'mon even you're mario addled brain must be a little disappointed that they're basically releasing a current gen console with a touch screen in the middle of the pad.

I wonder how they are going to get around the text readability on it, I hope they are not just going to use huge fonts on the main display (despite 1080p output).
