Good to see more people supporting the Wii U.

I don't think the difference is going to be that big.

I disagree since I'm pretty sure graphics will be much better on the next system. They will always find always to make texture look better in games. The graphics gab between the PS2 and PS3 are pretty huge, I would imagine the same for the PS3 and PS4.

Those controllers would be EXPENSIVE.

I doubt that they will be super expensive. I doubt they are going to be higher then $40-$50, if you have a job then they should not be that much to buy. Not to mention companies like wild cat always make cheaper versions of controllers like they always do and could do the same for the Wii U.

The graphics between the PS2 and PS3 where huge because we've had major innovations in graphics between the time the PS2 and the PS3 where launched there really hasn't been anything that major between say DX10 and DX11. For the next generation of conoles (Xbox 3 and PS4) I see backgrounds becoming more detailed and games having better physics I really don't see graphics improving that much since we've basically hit the max we can do with DX11.

nintendo used ps3.360 game footage at E3

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/nint ... vent/13259

don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Really doubt the Tekken game was PS3/360 footage since it's an exclusive and yet it still looks as good, the tech demo of Zelda and the bird should be enough to ease your worries guys.

I also wonder if Nintendo will make something similar to achievements and trophies for their games?

[Gigan X3]

Awesome, can't wait to see if Melee gets some tweaks like Pikmin for the Wii.

I don't think you understand. The controller is packing so much technology that is already expensive now. The touch screen being that sized and built in, the whole streaming games and camera and all that jazz, the complexity of mass producing those and keeping a high manufacturing quality, etc.

^Why did you reply to a old post? Anyways, I'm not surprise that they are going to have Gamecube games to be downloaded and some HD updates of Melee would be awesome as Gigan X3 mention. I personally I would love to see a HD version of Wind Waker .

As if the game didn't look great already huh? I too would like an HD port of that game!

[Hellspawn28]

I love the art style in Wind Wanker. Super Sunshine in HD would look great as well.

Indeed, Sunshine looked really good in the GC already.

Well for starters you addressed my earlier post. And the one I quoted you did the EXACT same thing and replied to an old post. But the point remains. These controllers are not gonna be cheap at all.

[gvamp]

Anyone thinking the controllers are going to be cheap is very delusional.

Also if the system does support GCN titles as downloadable as cool as it'd be to see them get upgrades like HD and stuff I highly doubt it's not going to happen look at all the past systems that are available for DL did they get new upgrades?

Some did, yes.

[miguelnuva]

The system can only support one controller so it might not even be sold separtely.

They have to, it's not like people are going to take good care of their controllers.

This can be awesome for games like the 4th Smash Bros game.

Don't expect more than 55 characters though.

[Hellspawn28]

The 4th game is likely the last game, I could see Nintendo release DLC to keep fans happy for a long time.
