Topic: Wii U as a Cable box.

This was from a video that Gamesrader did going over the Wii U. Between this, the netflix app, and the usinv the Gamepad as a TV remote it seems ninte do may be more serious than some thought in the foray to have an all in one in the living room.

My thing is my bias aside I don!t think nintendo can pull this off well for a varitey of reasons and while this is great in the long run I can't zee nintendo getting much traction where other bigger guys have failed.

You might be underestimating Nintendos performance in this area

Those are only on the dev kits. They're for the controllers, which were originally not wireless.

Doesn't that just prove the wii is cheap and people don't care about quality.

I mean the wii is pretty crappy media box.

post #3496 corroborates what Zaphod has told us — that's apparently one of two gamepad ports (that thread also has smaller images, for anyone like me dealing with a small screen resolution).

that said, please feel free to hold off with your inherent bias, shingi, until Nintendo officially announces such a feature for the Wii U.
