@ferthepoet Nintendo covers both consoles in seperate Directs (mostly). And it was previously stated that the last direct was more about the Wii U.

@ReaperX30 Nah. That will never happen.

The Wii U can actually fail. True, that would be tough for Nintendo but they will be able to survive that. Actually UNLIKE Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is able to take a risk.

And they did. And I know the Wii U will be a success for at least 3 to 4 years. And then, well, we start thinking about the 9th generation of Nintendo consoles

Sony is going to get a rough time, the PS4 will not sell as good as the PS3. 3 simple facts:

1. PS3 is still powerful enough for the big masses.
2. DRM.
3. The system will be 500-600 euro. (Otherwise it will be either not very powerful compared to modern day PCs or they'll make a big loss on the hardware, which increases 2).

Same thing goes for MS, however they have Windows that can uplift the XBOX brand a bit.

I'm going to re-support Ubisoft, however I still don't forgive them for delaying a finished game...

Yes

@DanielHPoetry I have all the GBA games I want on my 3DS

@banacheck Console generations aren't determined by brand

@Peach64 Zelda Golf would be awesome. Golfing in Hyrule

And I think that this will be Mario in a Sonic Kart game, not the other way around.

Lol bashing the store?

EA, we can't bash YOUR store (Origin) because is it's too stupid for bashing.

And yes, this is still all about the "we want every single Wii U game to use Origin"-rubbish.

What about Europe... I hope not long after. (Actually the European Direct didn't have anything about the 3DS, so it's still possible that it's released on the same day)

NO. no no no no no no no no no

Remember n-gage?

NO NO NO NO!!

Says it all.

@Caryslan Actually, it's only EA that is pulling support now. Sure we'll miss Fifa - wait did I say MISS? Actually I'd pay money to see a completely EA-free console.

And I did.

ANd Nintendo DOES ALLOW ORIGIN to be used with EA games. But EA wants that EVERY SINGLE WII U GAME USES ORIGIN. And that's what Nintendo, luckily, said no to.

I'd like to see a special Dutch themed plushie

@BeeZeroOne1 Indeed, PAL50 has more vertical lines than NTSC60

This is ofcourse arranged by those Germans.

I'll get both

Yes.

I LOVE Pokemon.

WHY is this guy on Nintendolife? He's a Microsoft game designer. ANYTHING he says is in favor of MS' position on the gaming market.

Putting any Nintendo IP on a non-nintendo device will be the end of Nintendo. It's as simple as that, Nintendo makes software and hardware. He doesn't understand the importance of Nintendo here as his employer only makes software and one terrible console (XBOX).

@Kage_88 Actually not. New IPs can only disappoint when compared to the best IPs ever.

When people stop buying Mario, Zelda and Metroid games then, yes , you should start to look at new IPs.

Pokémon as that will be free for me (with the "So many games" promotion), Super Metroid and maybe the demo.

@RaymanFan2 So you'll make your own definition of when a generation starts and ends? Funny, they are time based.

As I said before, the Wii U is current gen. The PS4 and XBOX 720 (or how it will be called) are also current gen. The generation starts as soon as the first console of that generation is released.

The XBOX 360, PS3 and Wii are last-gen.

@ngamer155 That only happens if EA allows it. Which will never happen.

And it might be true that it's running now at it's intended clock speeds (as shown in the article) and that it was underclocked because the firmware wasn't able to handle it.

@gloom: Lego City is a big open world type of game, which would have load all the graphics from disc. And even if the CPU & GPU are at the speed of supercomputer you will still have to load the game from a extremely slow spinning disc. This is why PS3/PC games are usually completely installed on the hard drive.

And yes, hard drives are ALSO very slow compared to a CPU You'll need an SSD or faster to make it really load fast.

Playing Lego City Undercover from hard drive is indeed faster than from disc, but the harddrive is also limited by it's USB 2.0 connection. Why Nintendo never put USB 3.0 in the Wii U we'll never know .

But I'll laugh if in the end the Wii U outpowers the PS4 / XBOX 720 with the following system update

Looks awesome

Wait what's this, good Wii U news and it's not coming from Nintendo?

Awesome.

I've said it before, and am going to repeat it till this stops.

STOP WITH THE DOOM AND GLOOM ARTICLES.

@seronja At a Nintendo Direct during E3

@SkywardLink98 Their first priority is to make the shareholders happy

When are we going to rename Nintendolife to Pachterlife?

Why don't we just ignore this guy?

@PokeTune It's not just because the way EA is treating Nintendo (Origin debacle) bur it's also because of how they destroyed Bioware, SimCity 5, PopCap, etc.

If they would've supported the Wii U then I might have considered changing my opinion about them.

Bye bye EA, I will not ever buy your games.

Super "No, Your Exclusive Game Is No Longer Exclusive and Delayed" Land.

However I will buy this game instead of Rayman Legends.

It's funny and it's sad at the same time.

STILL my favorite Legend of Zelda game and none will ever beat that. (Well, maybe the HD remake )

@Benjamin Who said that it would be a sequel to A Link to the Past? Not Nintendo if I remember correctly. So actually ANYTHING could happen.

wow, they can create this but not release the game on time?

@MatthewRPG The Wii U is the true next gen.

However. The Wii U is current gen, as the PS3, XBOX 360 and Wii are LAST gen.

Episodic games are the worst. I tried that Sonic game once, didn't like it and I will never buy anymore of those episodic games anymore. A game must be finished before it's released and not a year later.

Guys, please for the love of all that is good and holy in the world. STOP these doom and gloom articles.

I feel sorry for Bowser each time I kick his...

I haven't used my Wii in months, not since I have a Wii U

@dragon_rider True, but both are illegal. Actually I think that piracy is more illegal than theft. Since the owner doesn't have to know that their stuff is being copied.

You'll know directly when someone steals from you.

I have a 64GB card in my 3DSXL, it's the best thing to happen to the system It's fast (faster than my old 8GB card ) and I have lots of free space

Shut up and take my money.

Only thing I have to say here, I guess.

All of them for me, so many good classics.

@Moshugan Sent in for repairs

Being famous for doing absolutely NOTHING.

Yeah, that's Luigi alright

Cool Loved the 3DS version, so a Wii U HD replay is certainly gonna happen.

So soon I'd be able to buy games with my Dutch OV-Chipkaart (NFC based public transportation card)

One can dream, right?

@SCAR392 You didn't read the manual then?

@gavn64 Yep in a few years we won't have any E3s anymore, I guess.
