Its a Motion Controller + Screen = Tablet

It may be busted, underpowered, but some people will buy them.
As for support, every console release has some at start and that can change afterwards.

Busted and underpowered..? How so? It sounds like you want this thing to fail, which is puzzling.

I don't doubt Nintendo will make good use of it, like they did the Wiimote and Motion+, just needs the 3rd party support.

Reggie and Shigeru tag teamed his significant other.... or maybe not. I dunno, Goddy has this really misplaced hatred for Nintendo and its a bit strange. On the one hand he has this insecurity of what others might think if he enjoyed a Nintendo product. Then there is the fact that he does not understand what great design is. Yes, hes one of those guys that will swear to you that LBP has better platforming mechanics and level design than any Mario game.

:lol: I know, I know.

I want to see them expand this more into media and other functional features. I know Nintendo's been hesitant, but this system could really be a better overall media entertainment system than the other systems because of it's controller. Stream Netflix on the t.v. or in bed with your tablet. Want to browse the web, and share videos? It could (potentially) do double surfing, via a Wii Remote for the t.v. and Tablet interface on the other. How about Netflix on one and Web/gaming on the other? This might sound dumb, but I'm sure Nintendo could some with better approaches to it.

Also, I want them to make the connectivity of 3DS and WiiU a forefront of the system now. Seriously, they've teased us too much, since the GCN-GBA days, and now we have two powerful systems that can communicate well with each other. I want to (if possible) use my 3DS in some games if I don't have a tablet controller. 3DS has the gryo controls like the tablet, cameras on it, a touch screen, and 3D screen, along with a single circle pad, and almost the same amount of face buttons. Add the circle pad pro, and you have another Wii U controller!

A game like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles would so rock finally. How about apps that take advantage of this? Video chat from 3DS to WiiU or a group chat with a mix of both systems? hell ya! Maybe even some online games (maybe the Wii U ones can be eShop games or something) that can play with one another? An upgrade to Swapnote letting you share pictures and messages between 3DS and WiiU friends?


Speaking of friends, make the WiiU and 3DS share the same friend's list and other features, so they better communicate! I think the WiiU could really bring lots to the table, and if it's powered similarily between the PS4 and Xbox 720, I think the WiiU could win every time for me, because of these added functions available only to the system. It would make it unique, and it's one reason I buy most games on PS3 because online is free. If Nintendo's online is free again, and has these cross platform features, I'd buy that version instead.

The controller will be able to be used with multimedia. It was shown off in the reveal trailer. In fact, one person was browsing pictures on the controller while a YouTube video was up on the TV. For gaming and netflix at the same time though? Unsure at this point.

That would be nice actually, especially if you could even use the 3DS screen as a display as well. What would be really neat is if they let us play 3DS games on Wii-U. :D I'd love a large screen to play on.

They'll probably end up doing just that.

I really hope they do. It'd just be a pain to have two seperate lists.

What will get the hardcore gamers on board is POWER! If the Wii U is way ahead of the 360/PS3 then the hardcore will be all over it.

Having said that, the controller is cool. I think Sony and Microsoft will copy it.

Reveal trailers are one thing, and the actual thing is another. Since there isn't any word on what the system will be doing and not doing, or any information on what Nintendo will strive to bring on the system, this is just me throwing ideas out and hoping. Maybe I'll be wrong, maybe I won't, but I hope they'll try new things with it.

Indeed, and an incredibly boring gen. Not that I think this one has been, but constant innovation is nice. As I said, I really hope Sony and MS don't become the 'bit more HD twins' again.

it needs 3 key thing in order to thrive imho. 1) consistent 3rd party support with the big AAA franchises that has feature parity with the other platforms as much as possible. 2) possibly more importantly it needs to give people a reason to choose the wiiu version over the PS3/PS4/360/720/PC version. somehow ninty and 3rd parties are going to have to come to an understanding on putting in extras you simply will not see on another platform AND that really add to the game. 3) the usual cracking first party efforts from ninty. at the moment, even if the wiiu version looks and runs better and has all the same stuff, peole are not goign to budge. there going to buy the AAA games on other consoles for their services. to get achievements and play with their friends on the same service and so on. so he is right...HD alone wont do it. 1080P@60FPS consistently with hardware to make the finest PCs blush wont cut it on its own either....it doesnt work. that kind of console has consistently struggeled.

Care to elaborate a little bit more?

"Nope not innovative" doesn't really help get your point across. I see plenty of potential for innovation in the Wii-U.

It honestly doesn't need much to succeed, all it has to do is launch. This gen is old now and i'm willing to bet many will jump at the chance to buy a new console, i know i will be getting one around launch window. What worries me is that if it is indeed going to be a fair bit weaker than the new xbox or playstation it doesn't matter how powerful those new consoles would be; all games that aren't exclusives are going to made for the WiiU and ported kinda like what we PC gamers have to deal with as far as multiplats are concerned regardless of how beastly our gpu's are. Hell if Nintendo opts for some funky non standard architecture that makes porting difficult it might even hurt the other systems multiplats despite them having better horsepower.
