@sonicriders a majority of "gamers" in the new generation have been bred to think that if it's not sony or Microsoft than its not "real" gaming. I can give a list of reasons why microsoft are the posers of the industry And why sony shouldnt be taken that seriously. Its a mixture or a lot of things.
@AbeVigoda um....no. no it wont. One: no one knows what the WiiU can do. Two: i've seen the devkits. They aren't impressive. Three: this graphics argument is stupid because of the fact that no one knows anything about what the wiiu can push out and also what the xbox and ps4 will do. Don't be surprised if the ps4 is just a ps3 with upgrades that make it just at the wiiu or a tad more. Considering sony said they werent making it that much more powerful than the ps3. Microsoft is just shooting themselves in the foot. They barely get by with exclusives and call of duty. So thats what...4 franchises? Thats pitiful considering xbox users still pay for online. Nintendo will come out on top again.
@SimonB79 I'm sorry, what? "Proper" next gen? Have you seen the dev kits? I honestly have no idea why so many people say otherwise but the gap between the three systems is slim. Look at it this way, for multiplatform games the wiiu made a standard. Those will look very similar because developers won't want to waste money optimizing and reoptimizing. Thus comes down to the exclusives which is the real reason why we buy a system right? Those are up to the home developers. It doesn't matter what you put into a system. It's the developers capability at the end of the day. The WiiU won't be outmatched. It's a powerful system and that's the bottom line. That being said, i am also buying the ps4.
@Magnet_Man018 see this is why i hate this. MM has only room on the 3ds while this travesty of a game gets a console remake? I dont care if anyone likes this game. Its terrible.
If i recall correctly they did announce somewhere that the trilogy is coming to the wiiu. Remember only ME3 was re-"calibrated" for it so itll take longer to do one and two.
Let the real first party games (yes mario has been run to the ground and unfairly overexposed) like zelda and metroid to really show next gen. Considering what ive read about the new LoZ nothing until that game comes out will push this system.
First off: the only difference i know of after following the two new consoles is going to be personal preference and entertainment qualities. Hardware so far doesn't have a noticeable output difference. Second: as much as sales dictate this i would really like to see bigger titles not being remade for the 3ds. I think OoT was a mistake for the 3ds because of the fact that they wont remake it for the more powerful wiiu and give it the makeover it deserves. So MM for the 3ds would be fueling the fire for that mistake. Some will disagree but others will agree that the gamepad for MM would be great. (Or any other loz.) BF4 and or bad company 3, EA all but said theyll release their games for the wiiu considering their optimism. Gearbox, and crytek included
After watching that documentary I will buy it. No matter what he guy has said in the past he put a lot of his life into that game. Thats enough to respect it.
@scar392 they have made a lego game where you can do that. Am i the only one slightly relieved that they didn't approve an LoZ lego? Call me old fashioned but I'd rather zelda be just a game. (Granted i have a few link figurines from the 90s)
One: has anyone recently played an xbox or ps3? Its at least 25% slower. Two: has the advancement in technology really made us that impatient to where we can effectively wait a year or two for nintendo exclusives yet can't wait 15-20 seconds between apps? Seriously think about that. If it was a crappy developed software as far as use it would be a concern but since they work nicely, who cares?
@LordJumpMad Don't be so sure. It has a lot of potential. Considering sakurai's dedication and attention to fans i'm imagining a melee esque ssb with HD visuals.
@Luigifan141 Sounds to me. Like every Nintendo developer will be getting a chance to do something. I think thats a great idea even if its not happening.
@Yellowgerbil A lot of people are jumping on the speed bandwagon but what many dont realize is that speed nowadays means nothing. Its about what it can maintain. Kinda like (i know this is a weird analogy) ascended super saiyan before ssj2 is very slow but can dish out a lot of power. Its all about architecture. From what ive read the build is fairly beast.
@Lan having bad visuals for no reason is bad. There is a standard and now HD is a standard. Its not a measure of how good a game is but how lazy developers are.
4A: the wiiu's cpu sucks. 4A: thats based off an earlier dev kit.
Why even respect a developer with reasoning like that? Releasing an interview bashing an earlier cpu is like eating a raw egg and saying the cake sucks. Come on 4A...really?
Would i be wrong to be imagining a new star fox that has the option to be third or first person on the ground? Cockpit view in the arwing would be cool too. Just a thought. The gamepad could be used for guided bombs and setting off ground mines and such.
@Molotov are you serious? Or..what? Nintendo makes systems that are dedicated to just gaming IE gaming console unlike the other two which are more weak gaming pc's. Upon research on what chips the WiiU is using you'll see why architecture is changing specifications that we're used to seeing. (High clock speeds etc). If you knew anything about what is actually under the hood you'd know that it would take a true artist and a stroke of genius to make a system weaker than the ps360. If you're waiting for a graphics leap that'll blow your mind than youll be disappointed in the wiiu as well as the xbox and ps4. Less talk more research.

@NintendoMaster Then what is it then? Everything can be portable. Just how portable is it.
Re: In Need Of A Portable Super Nintendo? Look No Further
@Luigifan141 thats not what they said. Considering the power consumption you can plug it in and use it anywhere.
