Not even about lifting weights. I mean I do lift weight but I do not hold it suspended in the air for 30 minutes at a time. Seems like this controller will also require some movement to use the screen to look around with. So yeah it has to be light enough and have good grip.

BTW, The new Super Mario is inspired by Super Mario World and a lot of classic enemies are being brought back. I saw the goombas with the pumpkin heads. Plus check out the slanted mountains. The World Map with secrets is back. Flying Squirrel suit is new. I also saw a level that looked like it was painted by Picasso. Nothing generic about this game.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 has the best Mario soundtrack of ALL TIME that could rival ANY GAME. Send chills up your spine. Mario Galaxy Orchestra > 

 

 

 

 




I always feel bad for people when they don't pick up Nintendo consoles because they think it's kiddy; They miss out on so many remarkable games that you just can't get anywhere else..Not even good games, downright classic games..

 

I think this is the first generation where I skip out on a Sony and Microsoft console and just keep it PC and Nintendo.  I can get nearly every game for PS4 and Xbox on my PC but optimized and running at the highest quality. And with Nintendo I can get those classic franchises and unique titles. Besides I am really SICK OF MILITARY FPS.

 

For the record FPS is one of my favorite genres back when Valve was doing something new with them and Bungie with Halo. I was even a huge CoD fan before it became a "BRO GAME".  But now, I just can't. 

 

i agree with all of this----played halo 3 alot until COD4 took over my life..stayed on COD4 so hard i didnt want to mess with WAW

never couldnt really get into mw2 cause i had a full time job and a GF at the time. tried to get into MW3 but the no stopping power messed up my timing with all that reloading(i run n gun)

 

but the nintendo wii is amazing---hacked that ***** and got every game for free

 

the mario galaxy experience is real-------the game is filled with super mario nostalgia---jumping in pipes all that **** classic mario sounds

the sound in general is on another level----and your in space

Trashmatic.

The first next generation console to market and it still has last generation graphics....

You can't even play multiplayer games with the new tablet controller yet and thats supposed to be the biggest new feature.

The Wii TVii looks dope but with the developed TV platform that Xbox already has, I'm sure their next generation TV offering with project glass is gonna be even better.

Pass.

was watching this video and only noticed wired controllers so i figured i'd ask (yes rewatching the video i now notice the wireless controller at 0:14)still a very easy pass.

There's the memory answer, I think one of the other reasons they don't wanna sell the extra gamepad is because of the drop in fps that it will have.

This system looks interesting.

What's the gamepad supposed to be used for?

I probably skipped over that segment while I was skimming the event video.

The only reason why I bought a wii was to play ssbb.

If a new ssbb comes out on this wii u, I will consider buying this console.

Who the in the hell wants to play on that little gamepad screen?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Music that I listen to.

This is my sig. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Reading comments from game sites across the net and I must say, of all the fanboys, Nintendo stans are the most insecure.

 

This was a flop at E3 and will continue to be a flop in my eyes. The only thing they've done well is release it during holiday season so that parents that don't know any better will be swindled into purchasing it for their kids.

and then nintendo fan boys will cite better sales as to why the system is better. The Wii and WiiU got a head start, but will still pale in comparison to the other systems, for the mere fact that I havent seen 1 game that blows me away

You do know that video games are about more than just graphics and all that tv crap they do now right?

If this console performs well and has titles to back it up, all that gimmick crap doesn't mean a thing

Launch day titles, pretty strong line-up even though some games are already on other systems. I'll probably end up scooping up Mario and either Zombie U or Black Ops.

graphics do matter when it comes to selling games that are on multi-platform. Take last gen for example. COD and Madden look much better on the PS3 and 360. Why would I shell out money for a wiiu when I can play the same graphic quality games on this gen. Then it comes down to how desirable are the wiiu exclusives. Is zombieU really a systems seller? How long will people have to wait until zelda comes out?

Unity CEO David Helgason has revealed that his company, whose light-weight engine is becoming increasingly popular in both the mobile and PC gaming worlds, has been licensed by Nintendo for use with the upcoming Wii U.

The engine is being optimised for Nintendo's latest console, and while it's become surprisingly powerful in recent times (see above), you'd expect it's got more to do with downloadable titles than with frontline development. It'll also be useful in convincing developers of existing games and properties using Unity to also bring their games to the Wii U. Importantly, Nintendo has licensed the engine for use both with third-party developers and with Nintendo's own studios.

While it's no CryEngine 3, the fact a company like Nintendo is making such a deal at all shows the Japanese giant is becoming a little more savvy when it comes to embracing the modern development scene.

Video is what the engine is capable of.

I was reading about that yesterday, if that's the engine they're using for downloadable games on the Wii U then I can't wait to see what some 1st party games are gonna look like in the coming years like Zelda,3D Mario, and Star fox.

Somebody asked about info on the Nintendo TVii, if you have time to watch the videos below they should give you a better understanding of the service.

As we get closer to the launch more details are starting to be shown.
This is a video of how the Wii U will look when you power it up,the whole social aspect of it, and the video chat.

This is the uboxing of the premium set.
America will get NintendoLand while i'm assuming Japan is getting Dragon Quest from what is shown on the vid.

According to HTML5test.com the Wii U browser is the highest rated online browser for a game system (even though they don't show PS3 for whatever reason).
html5test.com/results/gaming.html

And like the post above said, Gamestops (and other major stores) have Wii U kiosks set up.
If you want to find one near you go to Nintendo's website.
