New 64 GB Wii U coming soon?

I'm kind of wondering what in the hell they were thinking when creating the wii u. dkdk999

I actually really like the Wii U, and the tablet controller is quite comfortable and I like the two-screen and off-tv play.

It just really, really.... really needs some games. And at least a $50 price drop couldnt hurt it either.

Cause if the PS4 or FailOne release anywhere near $400 that $350 Wii U box will get passed up by anyone close to 'hardcore gamer'.

Pure speculation and conjecture.  Gamestop had those things sitting around their stores forever and nobody bought them, so they sent them back.  Nintendo will now cross their fingers and hope they can get some other retailer to take them off their hands.

Now that's just overkill.

Needs more, tablets can rock that much storage. Regardless, they need to do something much more drastic. Like better value for the consumer, and some titles wouldn't hurt, either.

64GB is almost as good as a 2006 PS3. C'mon, baby steps Nintendo, niiice and easyBlack_Knight_00

Well, the Wii U is comparable to the PS3/360 so...makes sense from their point of view. Just wait until 2015, and get the 250GB version.

128GB would be a better deal.

Nintendo needs a lot of help with the Wii-U. I have one and enjoy it, but I see its issues. 64GBs is not enough. They would need, at the very least:

a 120GB HDD

a $299 price point for the premium, and only, console. This multiple sku thing needs to stop.

a firmware update to allow you to bypass the gamepad altogether. The eShop should be "browse-able" with a controller or wimote.

Speaking of eShop, your purchases should be playable on the Wii-u AND the 3DS, where applicable, like the Virtual Console.

Nintendo needs to enforce developers making the gamepad optional in games. (They're probably doing the opposite now and making it mandatory). Asynchronous gaming is not always fun and even single player games are not always better with the gamepad.

They need to include a pro controller, and a wiimote, in the box along the gamepad.

Nintendo should price all first-party games $49.99, seeing that they're using old tech

I think these suggestions would make the Wii-U much more attractive, give players all the tools they need to play, and keep the Wii-U in line with pricing and expectations of the 360 and PS3. Nintendo cannot compete with the new consoles at this time. Not even just because of the power, but services and connectivity as well.

I can see it having a four year lifespan similar to the Gamecube. Which means it may have a year and a half at best of actual decent support, and will die a slow and hideous death in the last year while Nintendo shifts every resource it has to it's next portable.Randolph

I have to say the Wii U is looking a lot better after this next gen news regarding the X1 and probably the PS4. 

Smash Bros. and a new Metroid Prime and I'm in.
