Title: Wii U Announcements
Post by: Hiro on September 13, 2012, 08:03:18 AM
(http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/234921-WiiUSystem.jpeg)

November 18th, $300 for 8gb (white), $350 for 32gb (black, comes with NintendoLand, controller charging stand, regular controller stand, a system stand, and 2 years of "Deluxe Digital Promotion", which is basically just discounts and rewards for digital purchases). Both systems also come with sensor bars (unlike the japanese versions), and HDMI cables (p. cool).

New games:
Bayonetta 2 (Exclusive)
Black Ops II
007 Legends
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Also Nintendo TVii, which combines your Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Video, TiVo recordings, and live tv. It actually looks really nice.

Project P100 is now The Wonderful 101, and NSMBU and NintendoLand are launch titles. They said the rest of the launch titles haven't been set in stone just yet. Oh, and looks like you can transfer all of your WiiWare and Virtual Console games to the system, so that's pretty nice.

oh and it also has college sports, and the controller screen lets you browse scores while watching other things, along with something that looked like a top-down map of the field complete with general player positioning, and a few other extra features like that.

I'm content. I was worried they would completely ruin it.

I'll be getting the Deluxe bundle. As far as games, I'll already have Nintendo Land.
NSMBU
The Wonderful 101
Zombie U
Pikmin 3


Maybes:
Call of Duty Black Ops 2
Lego City Stories


So yeah. I'm content.

NSMBU at least looks nice graphically, but it's just going to be the same boring NSMB. Wonderful 101 looks fun. ZombiU looks like a typical launch title game, it's probably the Wii U's Red Steel  akudood;
Pikmin 3 does look great though. Lego City Undercover looks like an excellent game for kids, but not really something I'd want for myself.
Why the hell would you get black ops 2 though
Title: Re: Wii U Announcements
Post by: Hiro on September 13, 2012, 08:42:32 AM
When I get one it'll be the Deluxe bundle as well, and I'll probably put my spare 8GB memory card in it, or maybe get an external hdd to hook up to it if they're cheap enough. Still I don't think I'll be able to afford one for another year or so, but by then there will be more games and such anyways. Maybe if I get a job soon and make a good amount of money I can get one this year though wrench;

And who gives a shit anyways? it's literally the exact same console game with a few enhancements, it's not like if they ported those games over to a portable system or anything. new consoles generally start out with quite a few ports at launch anyways.

I think Reggie said something about how they didn't want to make the system cost more due to more storage, when prices for storage is declining rapidly these days so whatever they buy to put in it would be much cheaper in a couple years, so they thought it was better for people that even want more storage to buy it themselves at a better price

It uses the same sensor bar as the Wii...and besides, Nintendo's making a program to transfer all WiiWare/VC downloads to your Wii U, meaning you'll need to keep your Wii.

If they had a system in place for the common request of keeping data when a Wii breaks and is replaced, this wouldn't be an issue goowan

and the problem of having a sensor bar applies more to people who don't own a Wii at all rather than those who used to have one. I think people tend to forget or exclude things like the sensor bar when selling a system somewhere like Gamestop.

It uses the same sensor bar as the Wii...and besides, Nintendo's making a program to transfer all WiiWare/VC downloads to your Wii U, meaning you'll need to keep your Wii.


Meaning...they'll have the sensor bar...
1: not everybody has a wii
2: you can't easily sell your wii then because it won't be complete

It's just another scheme for Nintendo to jew people out of another $50 for a sensor bar. akudood;

There's no point in buying one because there's no games out that support multiple GamePads. So I don't see the point in being upset. While yes, it's a high price, they'll drop it because no one will buy it.

Also going back to where Hiro said I haven't called other companies out for redesigning consoles, david was correct. I have commented on Sony and the PSP.  Different revisions of the PS3 have also caught flak from me.


I give Microsoft a pass on the 360 Slim because it specifically fixed issues where 1/5- 1/2 (depending on the source) of systems were getting a RROD. They offered extended warranties on the defective systems and redesigned it so new systems didn't have that defect.


That is far different than Sony taking the PSP, stripping out UMDs, and putting the screen on a slider or Nintendo releasing the DSLite, DSi, and DSi XL one after another. Neither of the redesigns by Sony or Nintendo were to address major hardware failure on the scale of the original 360.

What's your definition of a redesign? Having a body/case/chassis that, ignoring external connectors and removable covers, has a different shape and size?

Any other definition, like nontrivial differences in hardware features intended to replace the previous console version, would include both cases of backwards compatibility loss.

but I guess even the Gamecube has similar differences between its versions, considering the digital AV port was removed.
