Nintendo Wii U Thread

[gvamp]

Original Xbox only had a five year run it came out in 2001 and died off in 2006.

[gvamp]

There been many rumors, some saying it's a add on and the others saying it's a new system. If it's a new system then I'm not surprise since it been nearly five years since the Wii came out, and Nintendo tends to create a new system every five years. For example:

SNES: 1991 - 1996
N64: 1996 - 2001
Gamecube: 2001 - 2006
Wii: 2006 - 2011

Coincidental that each one has had a five year span? I think not! ^_^

How long was the NES around for?

NES came out in 1985 in limited markets.

Madden NFL 09 was the last original game for the Xbox, they still made games for the original Xbox in 2006 and 2007.

[gvamp]

Yeah but for the most part the Xbox was killed off in 2006. They released a game like two years ago for the dreamcast would you consider that active for the dreamcast?

Madden 09 was a fluke release for the Xbox and not really sure why EA decided to release it.

Damn, it just had to spoil the pattern.

Some people are already bashing this new console. Like here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfe-90uf ... ture=feedu .

[Living Corpse]

Don't worry, there's always an exception to everything. That is the one constant of this universe.

Console fanboys are skreeonk stupid.

Console fanboys are skreeonk stupid.

The guy in the video Bret posted was such a dumbass, all he did was complain about graphics.

Graphics fanboys are even worse. As far as I'm concern people who want good graphics and shitty gameplay over good gameplay and decent graphics are not real gamers, casual or hardcore. I buy my games so I can play them, not watch them.

[Godzillatheultimate]

I couldn't even watch that for 30 seconds. If he was talking out of his ass anymore than he already was, his ass would have its own mouth.

[Living Corpse]

Oh my god. I just went back to watch the video again, all the way through this time, I am so disgusted with how many likes that video got. I would seriously LOL if Nintendo out did themselfs and made something more powerful then whatever Sony and Microsoft's next big thing is just to make this guy feel like an ass for bashing something that hasn't had any confirmed details yet.

Serious it isn't even out yet, we don't even know anything beyond rumors, how about waiting till it's actually shown before bashing it.

He said people misunderstood his video so he's going to post a part 2 to clear it up.

[Hellspawn28]

Wii can have great looking graphics, look at Super Mario Galaxy 1-2 for example. They look very close looking to a PS3 and 360 game.

[Monster Master]

More powerful than the 360 and PS3, did ya say? Seriously?

I'd actually be pretty f'n excited if that'd mean we could get some kickass games like 360 and PS3 does. But Nintendo stopped doing extremely cool games after N64. Instead we'll just get SSB4, a new Zelda, a new Metroid, and a ton of Mario games aimed at kids. And then... shit.

Who wants to see life-like Mario!!!???
...

Not me.

[Hellspawn28]

While most of the Wii games are kiddy movies, movie tie in games, and ports of older games. The Wii does have a good section of games such as:

- Donkey Kong Country Returns
- Kirby's Epic Yarn
- Mad World
- Metroid: Other M
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- No More Heroes 1-2
- Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
- Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
- Sonic Colors
- Super Paper Mario
- Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Super Mario Galaxy 1-2
- Wario Land: The Shake Dimension
- Zack & Wiki

I do admit that I should keep my Wii longer since I never got the chance to fully play SMG2, Other M, and No More Heroes 1-2 before I sold it for a PS3. A Wii HD does sound awesome, and could have more hardcore gamers buy it.

[Living Corpse]

Sounds like he's just trying to save face.

[gvamp]

That guy in the video did have a point if they are indeed using the rumored GPU. Basically he's saying Nintendo is coping out by just catching up to the 360/PS3 rather than do a better GPU that's better than current computers. Many people complained about the Wii only be slightly above last gen (GCN, PS2 and Xbox) and it's pretty much the same thing Nintendo is doing now they're playing catch up to the 360 and PS3. They're pretty much playing Sony and MS this gen by being the first out the door.

Don't get me wrong I'm excited for an HD Wii something that should have happened from the get go but I see the point this guy is trying to make. Personally I think Nintendo should just make this an incremental upgrade by releasing an HD version of the existing Wii and for those of us that have one already do a system/firmware update to make all existing Wii's HD capable because when Sony's and MS's next systems come out they're going to be well ahead of the Wii 2 unless Nintendo does indeed have a better GPU and tech than what's rumored. So in other words that guy probably should have waited to do his video until official specs have been released.

[Hellspawn28]

Wii only be slightly above last gen (GCN, PS2 and Xbox)

Well Mario Galaxy 1-2, and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword have much better graphics then the past gen systems did you ask me.

[King Caesar]

^ I think you forgot to include the remake of Goldeneye. It was a pretty good shooter for the Wii. Same goes to MW1
