Description So yeah, just heard about the Wii U and it's weird two screen thingy, and then I realized that Nintendo has a trend for making things with more than one screen... Still, it looks pretty awesome.

huh, I suppose the theory is somewhat along the lines of 'if one screen is good, then two screens (which splits the action awkwardly in the middle, mind) must obviously be TWICE A GOOD!' XD
though, admitedly I really don't know much about this new WiiU >_> sounds little, well, pointless to me to have a screen on the remote

I'm not that impressed. It seems just a slightly better Wii. I doubt it will sell as well since I bet the grandparents that bought a wii for the Wii sports won't spend the extra for better looking crappy games. I dunno, maybe they'll have better games this time around...Here's hoping. It also seems like a waste to put a screen on a controller. I would much rather look at a large screen...

Actually, what MysticDarkAngel said isn't true. Iwata said that they might make a Smash title for the 3DS and the WiiU, but that nobody was working on it yet. Project Sora is at the moment busy with Kid Icarus: Uprising and after that they might start with the new Smash Bros, but don't expect it next year.

Would that be the Vita that's got a silly touch pad on the back that people will keep accidentally using?

no one would be accidentally keep touching it because their hand would be on the side when they're using the control pad, buttons, and toggles or they're on the touch screen

Maybe that's their plan. The police will go by chasing some muppet, and it'll go WIIUWIIUWIIUWIIU enticing people to go and buy the thing!

I thought it looked like a bizarro PSV.

On that, PSV sounds much better than NGP, or as I call it PSNGP (pissing p, lol).

I am getting it for one main reason: the ability to play the game on the controller. I can now use the bathroom WHILE finishing a match of Battlefield 3.

You have to agree that the Wii has transformed the video game market by making Sony and Microsoft have to compete with their motion gaming, and you also have to agree that Nintendo is claiming their rightful place as King by introducing something people have only dreamed of!

P.S. There has to be a new Zelda planned for the Wii U! On the E3 they showed Link in a temple with Navi fighting a giant spider in dim-ish lighting (and they showed it several times), they hadn't announced anything new, but anyone must realize that this IS coming.

P.S.A. (A=also) Can't wait for the new Smash Bros.!! Not so much the 3DS one due to it being hand held and they won't put too much effort into it, but the Wii U one must be even more outstanding than Brawl! It must!

Phlum In reply to Yoshi-Pro9414 [2011-06-09 12:01:58 +0000 UTC]

Even if the 3DS version is just a port of Brawl with better online capabilities, I'll be happy.

Now, if only Nintendo didn't care about homebrew...because I had a mod on my Wii that turned Captain Falcon into Master Chief

Why not just make one screen that's double the size? D= I hate having to alternate my eyes between one and the other
Still like the DS though...
