Nintendo Wii U - E3 2011: Announcement Trailer

Kung Pow enter the fist - weuweuw

Anyways, definitely interesting design; I'd love to see more games like Four Swords Adventures or FF: Crystal Chronicles that worked similarly back in the GCN/GBA era. But honestly I'm not sure I'd consider myself fully interested yet.

But if they make a Smash Bros., I will buy their system >_>;

At first I was like "meh" but then the video got 30 seconds in. It looks neat. Wonder what it will cost though. XD

Needs more Metroid. Actually, better yet, needs more Metroid Prime style gaming, made by Retro Studios. Team Ninja, fuck off with your stupid Mustard Suit design. >:(

Hmm, without knowing too many of the details of what actually isin the hardware yet, I'm going to ball park this at about $300 for the console and they are probably going to be hitting about $80-$100 for one of those controllers unless they find a way to cut the costs down significantly.


I must admit, I have been saying the next step for consoles would be a tablet controller to push the boundaries of gaming, but I am suprised to see one so soon.

The potential of having a private screen for a player is immense, both for multiplayer and normal gaming. Individual small screens allow for discrete communications with the individual player, making strategic choices possible. Also, having a small screens means some UI can be pushed to the controller, freeing up screen real-estate for other things and alllowing the player to do more at once.

It will be very interesting to see how this shapes out to be in the coming months.

its a good design, i like it, but honestly its going to be a fuckton more confusing in the general market, in this case the Wii U is just another accessory for the Wii

cant replace the regular controllers, sorry Nintendo
