No Blu-Ray support? Wont they be easier to pirate It's like a DS, it's like an iPad. But i think you can play on your controller as if it was portable gaming system if someone else is using the tv
WIIIIII U WIIII U WIIII U WIIII U WIIIIU HAHAHAHAHAHAH @evo ... it was fake just for laughs ... cause at the end of the first films aliens came .. lmao i think it was taking the piss
okay name jokes aside, zelda looks great but i dont see how this system is going to succeed lol probably be like gamecube or worst. If it sells for more than the ps3 or the xbox and people buy it like wii numbers i'm going to I feel sorry for the people who bought the wii how they must feel like dumbasses now with their peripherals.
I think I just lost 30 IQ points after watching that video......... Lol, The controller really reminds me of the old school Sega Genesis.... Didn't they try this combo already, by hooking up a game boy advance to an n64?
I'm pretty curious on the console specs, but Nintendo hasn't shown anything about the actual console yet... Looks cool though. I was pretty shocked when they announced Ninja Gaiden 3, Batman, and Darksiders were going to on this system. I'd say Nintendo is taking a step in the right direction. One of the reasons Nintendo never got the multiplatform support that 360/ps3 had was causes Wii specs were trash, now they can support the HD games. We'll see how customers/developers respond in 2012. But from my personal experience with the Wii, I'm still skeptical about Nintendo. I'll have to wait on this one.
I remember it was GBA to N64. Not sure about gamecube. I actually want new Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart game. But if they dont come out in wii.. looks like i wont be touching my wii ever again.
wow: http://wii.ign.com/articles/117/1174313p1.html and wow: http://wii.ign.com/articles/117/1174776p1.html damn seriously nintendo why not just continue to support wii and wait?
I didn't care for wii, don't care for this either, again with the funny name, wouldn't want to go into a shop asking about it, a rather big controller to wave around too.
New smash was announced for it. Well you can't expect them to have footage on the Wii U for all the games lol. Pretty sure developers just recently go their hands on the Wii U platform, or might not have gotten access at all yet. As for the new Zelda not being on Wii U, that was kind of surprising I thought they would make it cross platform in hope to boost sales. Honestly everyone is hating on Nintendo way too much. They came out with something everyone wanted them to, which was a HD console and got what seems like a good initial flow of third party content. This coming from the guy who disses the Wii every other day too...
