Nintendo WiiU : Thread 05

[Neon Ignition]

It'd make a good fit with all the rumour gossiping if the patent related to the successor of the 3DS so you had you're new handheld with a small card reader desk box which allowed you to play your handheld games on the big screen. I'd imagine that that next DS handheld will use the WiiU hardware as it's basis and repurposing the controller would let players play their handheld games on the big screen exactly the same way as they do on handheld.

NX could then be free to be a more traditional, more premium powerful home console. Unless the two would tread on each others toes too much in that set up

Watched a few videos of this from the stream where this was announced, and it looks like fun. Looking forwards to it.

Careful. Try not to sound too positive about WiiU!

Pokken Fighter thing is out next Spring on WiiU according to a story on Eurogamer.

Excellent news!

Starfox hits the EU on 20 Nov. Expecting it to bomb but hoping Nintendo are wise enough to recognise releasing a budget remakesque entry on all all but dead format isnt an excuse to bury the franchise again

[The Moleman]

Surely the hardware patent is for a WiiU lite or a similar type device? Nintendo may have the blinkers on in some regards but they must be aware of the general consumers attitude towards DRM and how bringing a 'new' console out with no optical drive would be negatively received?

I'm hoping those patent pics are for a 2DS home console or something along those lines.

No StarFox Zero this year and no Wii U Zelda either (with people still debating whether the latter will even be a Wii U title).

LOL. I'm just waiting for the usual suspects on here to pipe up and tell me how the Wii U isn't totally dead in the water, tbh.

[Dogg Thang]

The game looked pretty awful. Maybe this means there is a chance it won't be awful. But are there any games due for release for the rest of this year now or is it a barren wasteland?

[noobish hat]

Have they got literally nothing ready for Christmas then? Lol, what a bunch of asshats. I guess they do need time to work out how to implement the gamepad - it's only the thing they designed their entire system around and have been horsing around with for over 3 years. We can't expect them to have had any ideas about what to do with it, or to have developed any at this early stage.

[Dogg Thang]

Oh Noobish. You don't understand the INNOVATION™. No other company is bringing the INNOVATION™ and that is why we will never see the likes of ZombiU on any other system ever. Who needs games when you have INNOVATION™?

[randombs]

Who needs innovation when you can have games?

[noobish hat]

I love that the systems ZombiU was ported to could easily have incorporated the gamepad functionality through compatibility with the PS Vita and tablets, but just didn't bother. INTEGRAL!

[randombs]

Why go through all that just to appease the 3-4 Vita owners out there who will lambaste the function anyway? Tablets I can understand but that opens a whole new can of worms(can of worms DLC due 2016). Unless Smartglass works quite well? I don't know anything about it...
