@Neutron please list these so called features Wii U doesn't have that this gen does? I know the Wii U has features that his current gen doesnt have. And i am sorry, but i doubt they will be more powerful then the wii u. Wii U is sold at a loss, so if Sony and Microsoft put more powerful hardware in there systems than the Wii U has it would be an even bigger loss then the Wii U was selling for and i dont think they would wanna go down that road. They would have to price it higher than $350 to make a profit. Sony should have learned this from the PS3 launch. And if you are talking bout graphics, thats not going to happen either.
@rjejr hmm, i think Nintendo is afraid to drop the price because they're already selling at a loss. But, I think if they did drop the price it would make up in more sales then from before. I mean less cost = greater sales! Am I right?
Ok, I see some of you saying "why is Capcom criticized but not Skylanders?", well this is how I see it. Now correct me if I am but arent these games two different genres? I mean Capcom's game is simply just a fighting game and i dont see how putting 12 more characters in the game will extend the life of the game because all your doing is fighting on a single level. With Skylanders and Disney, your actually opening new levels and worlds to explore. Something new besides just unlocking characters. I feel like capcom screwed over there fans on this one. But i think the purpose of put the DLC on the disc to to not take up space on your hard drive.
Promise of the first game? Idk wut game u played, but the first game was major disappointing with boring and repetitive gameplay! I am surprised it even got a sequel. This was not a surprise at all for me. Next Time some one makes a Mickey game, they need to start fresh and do not take any points from any past mickey games!!!
Marvel, YES PLEASE!!!! Cant say anything about Star Wars because we dnt kno wut they are goin to do with the new movies they are making. IF its from Episode 4,5, and 6 maybe. If its from 1,2, and 3 the HELL NO!!!
@rjejr I agree with Sgt_Ludby on this one, Disney is not only for girls. To be honest, I dnt even know y u even said that. Maybe the older Disney movie caters more to girls than kids in general, but Pixar and the newer Disney stuff is for all kinds of audiences!
@Shworange I said the same thing about skylanders, but then i though to myself, "I would want to use the game pad if i am not near a tv" so it wouldnt really be that smart. Now if it gave u the option the use either or than that would be kool!
Hmm thats kinda disappointing review! I felt like ti was the best in the series on a campaign and multi player level! Oh well, 7/10 is still good in my book!
@FonistofCruxis i think i understand what your saying. Its all really depending on your personal preference. I four one actually pre-ordered 4 games plus nintendoland that comes with the console.
@FonistofCruxis U can not compare the overall launch lineups because the wii has been out for 6 years vs the wii u that hasnt even come out yet. @sidewindor i still do not understand how people can say this console is expensive. this is actually cheap for the hardware inside the console and tablet controller.
@MYCO You can download them to your USB drive, yes! But I was stating you cant play them on any other console if you tried to move the USB from one console to another. But this is all a rumor!
@Joshers744 The midnight launch at gamestop depends on the store and how many pre-orders they get. Fortunately, my store got enough to have a midnight launch.
Thnxs @BJQ1972 and @SanderEvers i read that link also and that was helpful. But in that case, i really dnt see that being an issue. That also prevents people getting the game with out buying. This is exactly what i though since the very beginning. Besides, if i dont get more space ill just download the games that are only available to download. Also, if anyone remember the way Wii downloaded games they used a block system so this might also contribute to the storage sizes of the Wii U. Although I wish we knew which download system they would do, GB or Blocks!
So question, does this mean u can download it to the USB and only play it on the console its registered to? Because if thats the case that fine with me. I wont be takin it with me to play on other consoles anyway since idk and other person getting one.
Now, i thought a while back Nintendo said themselves it would include accomplishments. But that might have been a rumor. Either way I am still excited to get my Wii U! While these my give some of you a challenge, it shouldn't make or break your decision about getting a Wii U!
@Portista lol, older than what u think. I played one late last month like 2 weeks ago!!! I thought Legends was fun, but I hope they have more demos up before launch!
Nah, my Wii U is paid in full and Microsoft dont have enough exclusives!!! Besides, i am NOT paying extra just to play multi-player and watch netflix. Btw, if i want halo (which i dnt) ill just play Conduit for the story and Conduit 2 for the multiplayer! Plus the Mass Effect series looks much better than halo and we got that one covered to!
Good music, good slogan and logo, disappointing game presentation! All they showed were Nintendoland, Sing,a and Lego City. They should have put in some ZombiU, Pikmin 3, AC 3 or some titles like that!
I think it a good promotion, but the only games i would probably actually download are the Eshop only games and the games they could have multi-player or high replay value. And maybe some Wii games since they probably wont take up alot of space.
@Aviator because it does a lot more than what 360 and ps3 can do. Like pausing a game and video chatting, or writing messages inside a game to alert other players (but this might already been done so idk). But it does seem massive to me. I will be getting the Wii U either way!
The people who are saying its too expensive, will probably just be stuck with 7th gen console. Good luck getting new great games! As for the price, its very reasonable considering the PS3 debut at $600. Cant compare 6 year old console to something thats not out yet. Sorry your argument is invalid! The people buying a Wii U will be having a great time on our next gen console. We'll be waving back at you while you'll be looking forward!
@3DSLUIGI dont understand what you by the pre-order comment, but where i live the waiting list has gotten so many people on it they stopped adding people. soo i c this being a whole better than the wii launch.
Why do I feel like this is the Dr. Pepper 10 commercial all over again? People get worked to easily about this stuff. I am a gamer and i thought they are fine.
@SkywardLink98 i would like to know which line-up for 3ds or overall because the Wii U line-up is great. I pre-ordered 4 games plus Nintendoland bundle. What I want to know is how many Wii U pre-orders did they sell cause that might give us some idea on how they might do.
