About what I expected of a dated system.

PopRocks3594169d ago

Even though based even on its own tech it's hardly dated. FACTS?? WHAT ARE THOSE DERP??!?!?!?!

jaosobno4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

FACT, WiiU uses DDR3 memory which makes its RAM slower than that of PS3 and X360:

@jasobno

I love that your source is an anonymous forum post. Try again.

jaosobno4168d ago (Edited 4168d ago )

@PopRocks359, that's a pretty unintelligent comment considering that site called PcPerspective had live stream while doing analysis os WiiU hardvare (as that "anonymous post" said).

But I guess that's the answer that I could expect from someone who doesn't even bother reading before replying.

PopRocks3594164d ago (Edited 4164d ago )

Okay? So you linked to a forum from a website that did an analysis of Wii U hardware on live stream. Why should I suddenly take their word as fact? Are they experts or do they just look at hardware and make what of it they can?

You've given me absolutely nothing official or definitive to work with. I'm not going to believe it at face value just because you say I'm unintelligent for doing so.

What an ignorant shithead comment.

HebrewHammer4169d ago

TripC504169d ago (Edited 4169d ago )

It states nothing about graphics and/or power in the Bad category.

You must have commented on the wrong review.

NoTheMama4168d ago

The Sony fanboys here are disgusting. You guys arent gamers......not one bit.

Stopped reading... stopped at the "japanese button layout" comment.

Also, the system DOES play games off external drives. A big factual error.

MegaLagann4169d ago

It's almost as if you expect some journalistic integrity. Kids these days...

ChickeyCantor4169d ago (Edited 4169d ago )

If people " wait " until developers have "figured it out"...Then also expect tons of shovelware. If developers are to believe that no one wants the console. Then third party developers will just flock away.

" Laggy interface
GamePad's use is confusing and unclear"

I'm expecting tons of os fixes in their updates.

And playing so many games, one after the other...of course it's going to be hard to get used to all the control schemes.

Bluenuts94169d ago

Not to nitpick, but the guy says 3ds was the first to have dual screens, but the original Ds was, the 3ds was the first 3d portable to use glasses free technology. Plus have of his compliments were kind of made little to no sense at all. I can't wait to get out of work and go get my Wii U!!

shivvy244169d ago

the funny thing is i prefer 2D on the 3DS

Bluenuts94169d ago

Yeah I don't really care for the original 3ds at all, though the XL one looks and plays a lot better!

Neo Nugget4169d ago

I hardly find console review scores worth paying attention to. Find out the basic facts of the system, then decide whether or not you think it's worth it based on what you want to get out it.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake5d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
