Wii U September Conferences Thread - 2 Bundles, Basic and Premium Announced [JP]

The concept art for Monolith Soft's Wii U RPG.. old but feel it fits with all the hype :)

I hate that everyone keeps calling it a current-gen consolebonesawisready5

its cool to hate what's popular...welcome to life bones...strap yourself in...sick..

I wish Amazon would hurry up and list the damn thing for preorder already. I want to reserve the Deluxe edition as quickly as possible.

I must say I was really impressed with what I saw from the Wii U today. Really looking forward to the games and utilizing Wii TVii.

Can someone explain to me how a Console OS can take up 1GB of RAM? The PS3/360 OS' use about 30MB. Surely even if they take into account the controller stream; can't nintendo get it down to 512MB?DeX2010

TECH

• The system has 2GB of RAM which is 4 times as much as PS3 and 360
• 8 GB Hard drive basic sku
• 32gb Hard drive Deluxe Sku
• USB external HDD support
• SDHC card support
• Tri core IBM CPU
• General Purpose GPU DX 10.1 equivalent shader model 4.0 but enhanced with advanced features
• 32 MB eDRAM
• 25 gb Bluray drive 4 to 5 times as fast as PS3's drive
• Possible/rumoured tesselation unit and DX11 compute shader effects?
• The Wii U consumes up to 75 watts of electricity
• 40 watts is average for the system

Nintendo of Europe Wii U presentation recap

Super excited for the Wii U! I think the price is right on and the potential for the system is there. Sony and MS are making a mistake by atleast not tempting people to wait with an announcement of their consoles.

I cracked, put 200 down on a deluxe black Wii U :) My GS said they'd already had 20+ preorders since the conference, I'm so excited to be apart of the launch excitement! A buddy of mine pre-ordered one too, so we're going to go to launch!

I was going to wait for Amazon, but I put in a pre-order at GS for a Deluxe system. #8 in line apparently. I'll switch to Amazon though if the opportunity presents itself.

For sure! We should form a Wii U boards monster hunter team with a bunch of us!

Hold on, Hold on! This is Monster Hunter THREE Ultimate. We've already got Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii. So we're looking at an HD remake of Monster Hunter 3, with a few additions?wiifan001

Few additions as in...

• The 4 weapon classes that were not available in Tri: Bow, Gun Lance, Hunting Horn, and Dual Swords.
• Over twice the amount of monsters compared to Tri. Tri had a total of 35 monsters, Ultimate has a total of 72. This means that there are many more armor sets and weapons.
• Many monsters have new attacks, especially in G Rank. G Rank is the highest difficulty in MH games and you unlock it after completing High Rank. It was another feature that was excluded from Tri.
• New areas, such as the Mountain Stream from Portable 3rd.
• A second companion for offline.
• Dynamic shadows. Minor, but a plus.
• Several G-Level armor have new designs and skills.

Yep.

I think it's worth it, but I may be bias since I'm obsessed with MH. :P

Also, Monster Hunter 4 won't be localized until much later. At least we have more MH to play as we wait.

I would buy it again for the resolution increase alone :P Monster Hunter Tri had such beautiful vistas and detailed monsters, it begged for a clearer picture. Have they said anything about updating textures or anything?

I think I might just go to gamestop tomorow to pre-order it...though, It might be better for me to wait intill Target has their pre-orders ready so that I can get a 10% discount on it, as my brother works at Target.

Dude, you make it sound so awesome. :P

I really enjoyed Tri so this is pretty exciting.

Well, I guess that's the official death of the wiimote. No publisher is going to ever allow support it for any real use since it's not in the box. The wiimote is full of un-tapped potential and it's going to stay like that forever now.

Black Ops 2 has full wiimote-nunchuck compatibility :) Online multiplayer with IR massacre at 1080p 60fps? GODLY.

Somebody mentioned a BluRay drive- does this mean I can watch all of the Blu Rays I haven't been able to since my PS3 was stolen?El_Zo1212o

Its not as expensive as I thought it would be. I wont be picking it up until a month or two before the next Smash Bros is released.

I didn't hear about any of this until now. Wow, those are very nice additions :P I think it would benefit Capcom if they removed the "3" in the title >.>wiifan001

Reggie on making money off Wii U price, Mario overload, free services, free-to-play and much more

The following comes from Reggie Fils-Aime...

- Nintendo believes in making money on hardware
- won't comment on how much they're making on each Wii U, but not selling at a loss
- Nintendo likes to pack in as much content into the best price possible
- this is why Nintendo offers services like online without having to pay for them
- Nintendo doesn't believe they're overdoing Mario titles
- Reggie says each entry is unique, different and new
- they don't want to 'kill the golden goose' by putting out too many Mario games
- third parties will discuss their release dates for Wii U titles
- Nintendo confident they can get consumers to jump in on Wii U this holiday
- GamePads aren't being sold separately yet because Nintendo needs to make sure they have enough GamePads to put in each retail bundle. They are worrying about that first.
- Wii U supports Full priced games, smaller digital content, free-to-play, consumable content, subscription services
- Reggie worries all the time, but focuses on "making sure that we're as prepared as humanly possible to deliver on what is, again, a groundbreaking Nintendo innovation."

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this is just TriG with cross platform play (3DS version) and the Wii U version is the same thing with additional online and I would assume enhanced HD graphics (ala the PS3 version of Portable 3rd).

nintendofreak_2

You are correct. :)
