It has been announced that during their coverage of the International Consumer Electronics Show 2012, Spike TV is to host a live interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime to discuss the Wii U.
Here's what it's like to buy a used Wii U in 2023.
I'm tempted just because I missed out on xenoblade chronicles x. But it's a big waste for just one game
I bought a Wii-U last year due to the fact that the Wii Punch-Out for some reason has not been ported to the Switch, which is odd since almost all of the Punch-Out games, arcade included are available for the Switch.
The Wii U was an abject failure, but sometimes even failures are worthwhile (if still expensive) learning experiences.
From giant crabs to surprise launches to weird-looking tablets, these console launches were...yeah.
Yet they all turned out to be great systems with lots of gems, except for Jaguar. Wii U was a criminally underrated system. The Gamepad implementation of Zelda Twilight Princess was incredible! I was so disappointed they removed it altogether for Breath of the Wild because they wanted "parity" with the Switch version. Its a shame and it was a lame excuse.
You can tell BotW was designed around the gamepad usage, with all that menu navigation. That item management and weapon switching would have been 100x better with the gamepad. The worst part was they never let the wii U players know they were removing it! I got the game for Wii U at launch and was disappointed it wasnt there.
PS3 was a mess at first but what a turnaround! That was a crazy generation. Uncharted 1,2,3, Infamous 1 & 2, God of War 3, Last of Us, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank series, Little Big Planet, Modnation Racers, Killzone, Resistance. My god they were so on point later in that generation it was crazy!
PS3 had a buggered up launch but Sony was able to turn things around with the PS3. I still say the XB360 had a terrible launch half the systems cooked themselves and the RROD would appear. Then the 3DO, CDI, Pippin, the Amiga, 32X the list can go on and on with systems with terrible launches.
Spike TV isn't exactly the network I think of when I think "Nintendo," hehe.
The next generation is coming. Believe.
Hopefully there'll be some new information, especially with all these rumours circulating.
Heres how it will go
Spike interviewer: So reggie whats new on the Wii U?
Reggie: Well its a new system, fully incorporated with an awesome new tablet controller. It has the most flexible online system and its graphics look great. Expect it to release in 2012.
Spike interviewer: So any NEW news reggie?
Reggie: lol no *troll smile*
Great, maybe we'll finally find out exactly what the hell it is. Nintendo did a terrible job introducing it at E3. I look forward to learning more.
