5 Wii U Issues You May Have not Considered

1. No biggie, who really cares it's only a couple of batteries every now and then.

2. Not an issue.

3. Maybe it's an issue for some, but I swapped over to Wii mote and Nunchuck years ago, so it doesn't bother me.

4. Not an issue.

5. At least they are planing to have hard drives as an optional purchase, but this is a pretty stupid decision by Nintendo. Although it probably won't affect me too much, if at all since as I'm yet buy a game off PSN/XBLN yet, and I've only ever brought DLC twice.

Where is the original article that says all this? Not that I don't believe you :P I'd just like to read it.

The 360 slim has 4gb of flash memory though.

theuncharted34

It was all revealed during the E3 press conference. I just grabbed the first link off Google.

For some odd reason I can't pull up a website with a confirm for the 8GB storage. Not that they aren't there, but my internet isn't loading the pages. Odd.

Really it confuddles me with reading through some of these articles. It's like no one knows that external HDDs exist and getting a HDD seperate is a far better value for yourself.

Here's a link to a story from 1UP. It is a little wierd that it won't have an internal harddrive, but at least we can get cheap storage via external drives.

It is weird, but for the price they sell current consoles at for HDD upgrades, I'm VERY glad Nintendo isn't including them. Like I said before, I can get a 2TB external for the same price difference between a 4GB 360 and 250GB 360.

True. And if not having an internal hard drive means lower prices, can't say I'm disappointed.

1# and 5# made me facepalm.
They better not make me use freaking AA batteries again, those little ****** are a pain to use, even the rechargeable ones run out of juice so fast. Get with the times Nintendo, ffs.

That's your opinion. A lot of people were fine paying $250 for the Wii and I regret nothing about buying a 3DS.

Not one issue is legitimate, anything that might be a problem, is not something "you may not have thought of". They are just fishing for hits. :roll:

Even no harddrive, an SD card is enough for virtual console, wii ware, save files and the likes. You can get an SD card for much cheaper than a harddrive. Unless you can download full Wii U games, it isn't an issue.

its nintendo all the college frat boys will hate it no matter what.

110million

And even if you do want to download games you can use an external harddrive, which I can get a 2TB external HDD for $100 or less and that's plenty of room.

This is a rather silly list. Actually, it came off as annoying. I don't know if people remember, but there was the same kind of "omfg wtf why is there a mini joystick next to the dpad?!:x" vibe going around after the N64 controller was revealed.

lol, people here barely know about last gen, how would they know about that?

They are like goldfish

You guys realize he said they weren't huge issues.. They're just little things that may come up, and he's right. I could see one controller causing quite a few conflicts with families I know.UCF_Knight

It certainly will cause some rivalry between siblings in a family. But on the other hand, that is a natural & quite common accurance, outside of the Wii U's context. That 'ish ain't even worth writting about.. like at all.

Regardless, the main point spread on 2 points in that article could have ben adressed in one point. Another one of those points is irrelevant (The Smash issue, peoples comfort zone regarding controllers depends on the person himself, i know tons of people that found the gamecube controller garbage. And there are hella alternatives). In another one of those points the author fails to comprehend that rechargeble AA batteries exist.

The only minor annoyance is the lack of a built in HDD, which isn't a big deal, at all, because it has a) 8GB internal flash memory; b)SDHC slots; and c) support for external HDD, which is cheap as all hell.

That article is attempting to graps at the bottom of the barrel, and can't even do that properly. Poorly written, overall.

Such a silly list but the controller should at least have USB charger like how the PS3 has.

:lol: those are some of the lamest reasons to hate the WiiU i have seen, aside from Super Smash Brothers (which it can be fixed by simple having 4 classic controllers) all are just plain dumb :lol:

Playing Super smash bros. with a wiimote or a CC.... oh the horror DX.
