The fact that people are still asking whether it's a console shows how muddled this announcement was.

Yes. It's a console.

It looks like this:shinrabanshou

That SD port worries me

Wii U, more like Pii U. I really want to play a game where I hold a screen in front of a screen. Looks stupid to me. Nintendo really has let me down in the console department this gen and looks like they will next gen.

Nintendo's E3 conference did nothing for me. The controller looks uncomfortable; analog sticks on top of the buttons? No new game announcements for the Wii, and the WiiU is practically getting multiplats. Conference was confusing at times; I had no idea if WiiU was a new console or controller since every speaker was calling it both, and I'm still on the fence with 3DS.

What didn't EA revealed Battlefield 3 for the Wii U? I confuse.

Wanderer5
Same here. Why call the EA guy on stage when you don't even unveil any game? WTF?

Judging from the Conference, Didn't see their Name.

Judging by Games, I'm sure Activision will release a Call of Duty Collection or Something like that for the Console.

Now There is no Rockstar support or Epic Support (THIS WILL HURT NINTENDO) at this time. So yeah....

LegatoSkyheart
Exactly. I thought we were promised core games? Epic makes the engine that powers most core games... why is Epic not on board? What about Rockstar?

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]WiiU announced and confirmed as being 1080p. We still need specs.

you most likely wont get it. The fact that its confirmed to be 1080P should rest a lot of worried heads.

That worries me and I think that was part of the confusion. There was no clear passing of the torch and the fact that they were using Wii controllers just made it worse.

Did I see the new console perform or not? I'm not sure.

I saw Wii remotes using the Wii Pad.

Was the bird footage the console in action?

While the 3DS line up looked promising, I couldn't shake off the PSP Dejavu; games that would seem to be better fit on consoles being on handhelds instead.

And I thought this generation was the peak in the price per additional controller. I mean the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo is almost 70-80 euros in my country. But the new WiiU controller will definetly make those 70 euros look like a steal, that thing looks like it's gonna cost at least an additional 120 euros, so little chance for 4 player with streaming controllers here.

Both Sony's and Microsoft's presentations were crap, MS showed way too much for the Kinect and neither showed much that we didn't already know about with few major reveals. Nintendo finally showed games people expect from a Nintendo system (granted mostly for the 3DS) which they have failed to do for multiple E3s. They showed off an interesting system albiet with not a whole lot of information on it and no games (but it is still in development and both MS and Sony didn't show anything but prototypes either when their systems were first shown) but it definately raised some interest. Nintendo by far had the best conference out of the three, not much there for hardcore gamers (it's Nintendo what did you expect?) but they are definately moving forward while appeasing their main audience... something that both MS and Sony failed at quite frankly.

No kidding, really, just no kidding. =P They are never satisfied. I was thinking how the way people are talking it's as if they want another crazy powerful PS3. Which is proven to not be the best decision for consumer and business.

I was really impressed with the 3DS stuff. Mario looked amazing and so did Luigi's mansion. The WiiU at the moment is looking really, really poor. The controller is not made with hardcore gamers in mind and the tech looked equal to or even worse than PS3. I'll keep an open mind but it's a really poor showing for Nintendo's new console and a really poor show overall. The industry is being taken over by casuals.

Was anyone else dissapointed by Mario 3d. I dont want to jump to conclusions but it looked on rails like a 2d game but in a 3d plane. I wanted a huge 3d game world like 64 and Sunshine, this was probably my biggest dissapointment of the show.

Jolt_counter119

No, that actually looked like the best part of the conference.

No way Luigis mansion trumps that game by miles. 3ds hyped like it was this powerful gamecube level machine yet all they have shown looks mediocre. The mario Kart demo looked same old same old with pixelated graphics, zelda and star fox are remakes. And what the f*** no Kingdom Hearts or Paper Mario Trailer. Vita outshined the 3ds this week.

Hmm, I don't know about that. Super Mario 3D looked like a synthesis of every single Mario game till date, that can only mean good things. The Mario Kart game was what got me the most excited, Kid Icarus looked good, as did Star Fox, I was happy with Luigi's Mansion. I was happy with the WiiU, as in the system, itself. What I was not happy with was the way they handled it.

The 3DS is not only more powerful than the Gamecube but also the Wii. Thsoe looked slightly pixelated because the games had to be stretched into a huge screen whereas the PSV had off screen gameplay and looked to be a PS2.5 nowhere near a PS3. 3DS and PSV are much closer than people first thought.

I thought Mario 3DS was the worst looking game they showed. I don't even like Mario 3D games, but it looked nowhere near as smooth as other 3D marios. It just looked like it ran bad. But that's just me.

I don't know what the hell is even wrong with you people. That was one of the best showings ever. So what if they didn't show us the specs? They showed us the awesome controller, what all we can do with it. They revealed a new Smash Bros game. They revealed Arkham City, Darksiders, Assassin's Creed Ghost Recon, Metro, a new Zelda, Ninja Gaiden 3, Tekken... Then there was the 3DS. That was just plain awesome. I don't know what the heck you people are on about.

Exactly. I thought we were promised core games? Epic makes the engine that powers most core games... why is Epic not on board? What about Rockstar?charizard1605

i wouldn;t worry about it. Ken Levine was on board and 2K games is his publisher and if 2K is on board, I'm sure Rockstar won't be far behind.

As for Epic, they like money so expect to see them come around.

I'm happy to own a 3DS after the conference, but can't say I'm looking forward to the Wii U (worse name than the pretty bad name of Vita lol).

Luigi's Manison 2, Super Mario 3DS, and Mario Kart 3DS looked cool. I just hope Mario Kart 3DS is more like the DS version and less like the crappy Wii version.

Kid Icarus doesn't look that compelling though imo.

I might buy the LoZ Link's Awakening later today though. Also want to watch those 3D trailers that were mentioned.

I'm so disappointed in nintendo!

Wheres xenoblade, last story, pandoras tower, dragon quest 10 etc? Why would you focus on a new console when you have nothing to show on it yet. You've got plenty of games to choose from on wii still to localize!

This e3 was overall terrible.
