Topic: wii u 5 minute preview from the verge at ces

http://www.theverge.com/2012/1/11/2700613/nintendo-wii-u-vide...

so my boy Ross miller from the verge goes in depth with the wii u avowing off the controller.and demos of the game. makes me wonder if he!s going to leave for the verges upcoming gaming based sister site in the works.
also wii u on dat oled screen is yummy.

Why do you keep linking to that site? Do you know people there?

just a follower of the site. the crew of the verge uses to be the old engagdet crew and they got me listening too poscasts and more into tech. they have an awesome site layout and some of the best written articles on the web.

that and when i linked to the website a youtube version if the video wasn't ready so i had to link to the site.

I was reading the comments and there were so many trolls and Nintendo haters on there. *sigh

yeah the comments on most tech sites are troll central. keep shifting through the crap and you get some real good talk.

They kept saying how far behind Nintendo is with their tech. Since when did video game systems need to be comparable to PC's? The NES, Super NES, PS1, Saturn, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox were all underpowered compared to the PC's of their time.

well beyond a few things the verge isn't a gaming site. read some of the talks on phones and computers. power is important to tech heads. that's why i love all the apple and windows phone articles. the aneroid rabbits come trolling in crazy.

also i guess mist people want consoles.to keep up with Pcs. in the old days it didn't matter but in the days where consoles and.Pcs are converging slot of.Pc.only guys are mad at being held back.

How are PC gamers being held back? Developers can make a game that maxes out PC hardware if they want to. Battlefield 3 is a good example. It's on consoles too, but the PC version is much more graphically advanced.

And the only way game systems can keep up with PC's is if they have upgradable hardware (RAM, CPU, GPU). Or if they release a more powerful version every 2 years.

consoles are most of the time the lead platform with the Pc one being held back. dice is a Pc first developer so.it was different. until consoles are running better specs and DX11. Pc guys are going to troll.

Well DirectX is owned by Microsoft, so only Xbox will use that. Sony uses OpenGL, and I don't know what Nintendo uses.

That was really awesome. That was the first time I saw Battle Mii... man, that game looks like a lot of fun.

battle moi should be turned into a full game. mutiplayer using.the their.person wiimote. have the story mode be like quest moi and play with the third person ir in the ship.

also battle mii had alot of metroid! in it.

They should put find mii and battle mii into 1 retail release with added features as a launch title bundle.
Either that or have them as seperate downloads on the new download service.

lol shingi, typing on your phone?

Yeah, the Mii's are dressed up in Varia suits and you fly Samus's ship around. Pretty awesome.

Both good ideas. And by the way, what's Wario Blast? I've never heard of it.

kindle fire.

The Kindle is a tablet now? I thought it was just an e-reader like the Nook?

they have an e-reader and a tablet.

Remember Twilight Princess? All of the cinemas were actual gameplay just like every other Zelda game. So this is actual footage people. Beyond that is the fact, years from now the hardware will be even stronger as developers will learn all of it's tricks. Which will make for overall better everything.

Chase Mii looks really fun. It reminds me of Double Dash's battle mode. Very colorful and charming. Can't wait to play that with friends. Battle Mii looks even better with Metroid all over the place. I'm a huge Metroid and when I get my hands on that I might have a nerdgasm.

The camera thingy looks great. That will be fun to show off as it will be fun to play with for a few hours.

Dont worry, for sure it will be able to run 2D side scrolling games at substained 60 fps. Or is that now graphics and power do matter at all?
