Nintendo holding Wii U event Sept. 13

@zzamaro Good copy/paste job mate. Now tell me, which other ready-made copied opinions do you have on your Documents folder?

@zzamaro

When did Nintendo ever lie? Granted the Wii had a lot of shovelware, but it's not like it was hard to find great games on it. No one forced you to buy the crap titles, no one forced you to buy the Wii. The Wii U, in my opinion, has a solid launch library.

@furrynic I honestly don't care about the specs that much. I just care if it has good games and hopefully some 3rd party support this time around. One good thing about the Wii was that it's library was at least free of the "let's be like CoD" parade of devs

@furrynic Nintendo never releases specs about their products. You'll have to wait a week or two after the release to have someone open and reverse engineer the console to estimate the specs. Nintendo policy is that they are selling entertainment and thus technical specs are not very relevant. I kind of agree with them.

@furrynic They have already said they won't be releasing full specs, they are expecting others to strip it down themselves.

@furrynic Thats what I'm waiting on too!

@Roodogs I believe this will be the price but with Nintendo Land bundled with it.

@Skyt_Aura that's just a rumor

@UnwantedSpam Do it!!! ..lol

@UnwantedSpam that's some pretty /b/ stuff right there

@UnwantedSpam So... you've been arrested multiple times in the same day? That's impressive.

@UnwantedSpam lolwut

@hippiesanta pfft kids as old as 3 are using ipad now.

@hippiesanta You can still use the Wii controllers on the Wii U

@maximumbarmage I kinda agree that Nintendo doesn't need to tell us how the WiiU will change the course of the future... we just want to know the specs, the price, and the games available on launch day.

@maximumbarmage

Funny that you don't care yet you looked on here to see what the Nintento press conference was about........funny indeed.

The 3DS has great online (but you wouldn't know that) so it's obvious that the Wii U's online will be just as great if not better since it's a home console.

Also take a gander at the 6th generation. The PS2 came out way before the XBox and GameCube and although those two systems blew the PS2 out of the water in terms of power and graphics, the PS2 still dominated because it established a massive user base that 3rd parties would be stupid to suddenly ignore just because shiny new consoles appeared. Not saying the Wii U will emulate that same success but that's how the 8th generation is looking to be, with the speculation that the next PS/XBox not making a huge leap forward, all 3 systems most likely will be similar in power, and the Wii U having at least a full year to sell as many systems as it can before Microsoft releases their next console. And if say 15m Wii U's are sold by the time the other two bring in their new consoles, there's no way the Wii U could fail because 3rd parties will stick with it even if the games might not look as good as the other consoles', but the GamePad functionality will always be there.

@TheCyborgNinja Yawn....people said the same BS about the 3DS. I remember clearly, "Everyone just uses and iPhone now!" "Nobody cares about Mario anymore" 19 million units sold later and 6.5 million units of Super Mario 3d Land and Mario Kart 7 and it is still thriving. People also said the Vita would crush the 3DS like you are saying the PS4 will crush the Wii-U because you think it is all about power. Now the Vita is littering store shelves and Sony is wondering what the hell happened. It isn't all about power. It is about games, fair price, and you are crabbing about an online structure you know zero about. "Core" gamers limit their gaming experience more than anyone I know and the make predictions about the videogame market through their own lame filters and that is why they are always wrong. If Publishers listened to them most developers would be out of business by now.

@midnightclubx

Actually Micro$oft already did that with the 360 slim when it was announced at E3 a few years back. Right after they talked about it they said it was released and even gave everyone in the crowd one for free. Would be awesome though if Nintendo did the same with releasing it into stores right after the conference.
