Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed a few new Wii U specs during a Japanese presentation today.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
It seems that the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system will be properly kicking off the next generation of Elite gaming. Sporting powerful next generation specs to deliver a seamless experience online and off to the Nintendo Elite supporter this holiday season. Everything seems to be going well just as I and many other positive supporters had imagined.
Delivering futuristic high end specs that look to be leaps and bounds ahead of what is currently available on the home console market today. Just as beautiful as a new born baby. The Nintendo Wii U entertainment system looks to be a wonderful, and very capable piece of next generation hardware. This holiday season can not come soon enough.
Have a blessed day and happy gaming
Rated E For Everyone
2 GB total, 1 for games 1 for OS.
If they're reserving 1 GIG for just the OS than it must be a multi-tasking beast.
Kinda disappointed that only 1 Gig is available for games, but with updates they can shave off the OS memory usage like Sony and Microsoft have done with their consoles, so more RAM should be available for games later on.
A GPGPU is very good news.
I also saw that there was a 32 GB model shown, good, cause 8 wasn't gonna cut it.
Can't wait!
25GB discs? Holy crap.
And when the hell are they going to announce the release date (if they haven't already)?
sounds ok!? just what we kind of knew...
so 31,000y means the WIIU will cost $400 to $450? i am lost...
i may get it if the PS4 does not comes out next year... and devs. actually make superiors "multiplataform" and exclusive games on it.. since i can sale it back to my native country and not lose money once the next gen hits ;)
@LuridShadowX i belive they already say Dec. 8 in Jap.
