WiiU keeps getting better and better as the news rolls out. Nintendo must have felt overwhelmed so they simply highlighted those million bazillion selling software titles coming fall.

TKCMuzzer4335d ago

They highlighted them but unfortunately forgot to show them. If you want to sell me a console then show me what it can do.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4335d ago

You know what this means... the parents won't have to give up the TV to the Latest Kid movie.

or vice versa.

Dovahkiin4335d ago

Portable DVD players.

Although great, it's not like this wasn't achievable before.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4335d ago

True, but this is an extra perk to owning the gaming console you want.

You can get a Blue ray without the PS3.

You can play DVD's without a 360

BUT isn't the option nicer?

GribbleGrunger4335d ago (Edited 4335d ago )

well, i'll just watch Netflix on my Vita when the TV is occupied; in the same room, in the garden, in the street and on the bus

EVILDEAD3604335d ago

You can watch netflix on your Iphone or table in HD in some cases. And you dont have to leave your console running or be in the same room.

KillerPwned4335d ago (Edited 4335d ago )

This system is a dream come true for parents who want to watch tv and cannot since their child is playing a game. It always works both ways!

Cannot wait to get one myself.

LOGICWINS4335d ago

Ummm...if in 2012 your household can't afford to have more than one tv in the home, then you probably can't afford a next-gen console like the Wii U anyways.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4335d ago

True but
What if you have to stay in the same room with them?

Infernostew4335d ago

@above

Umm, a computer or iPad?

KillerPwned4335d ago (Edited 4335d ago )

True but did you happen to think that some families don't like to have more than one TV in the house?

I know a lot of families that have plenty of money but they choose to save their money and only buy one nice TV. Plus the parents don't want their kids stuck in their room all day.

LOGICWINS4335d ago

So families are THAT concerned with saving money, yet they will be okay with the prospect of buying what will potentially be a $300-$400 gaming console that the parents of this particular family will likely never use? Ummm..what?

LOGICWINS4335d ago

"Plus the parents don't want their kids stuck in their room all day."

...yet parents would be okay with their kids being in front of a Wii U all day, on the ONLY household television?

KillerPwned4335d ago (Edited 4335d ago )

You never know how much they are gonna pay for the console. Plus if your a parent you wanna make your child happy. They want a Wii U for Christmas and you got the money why not get it for them. So what if the parent does not use it or rarely uses it. They are buying it for their child, if you were a parent you would probably understand better. To your above statement its called being a responsible parent and limiting time playing games. I don't see what argument is here so cya.

hey I can watch Netflix on my 3ds at home when the TV is being watch. right now so we can leave vita out of this.this is a Nintendo story so read it and move on.you sound like jealous asshole when you talk shit!

and maybe people thinks it be cool to watch on a 6.2inch screen not a 5inch screen.you guys talked about having the huge screen is so great so having a bigger one for when I'm eating in the kitchen would be great.and its cool what ever screen you use the other gives details about watching.that's a nice bonus everyone will copy!!

mttrackmaster384335d ago

Someone's mad. I don't see anyone talking shit. no need to get that defensive over a video game system.

MySwordIsHeavenly4335d ago

Seriously. Nobody mentioned the Vita. :/

I love Netflix on my Vita, but there are nine televisions in this house to watch Netflix on, so it rarely happens.

That and the Vita has an OLED screen...and the Wii U pad doesn't doesn't look as nice. :)

Why would you watch Netflix on your 3DS though? It is literally the WORST thing to watch Netflix on. The quality is just freakin' horrible!

mshope104335d ago

and what if you kids wants to play wii-u in the living room but that your only big screen now that can play a full HD console in the same room at the same time.if your a gamer and can't appreciate that.

you have to be just a jealous punk.cause that would be a awesome option on any system.

2pacalypsenow4335d ago

every system has netflix there's nothing to be jealous of

jacen1004335d ago (Edited 4335d ago )

But only one console system can watch it on its control?
fanboys now will try and dumb down the feature now saying that it can be done on smartphones and ipads and vitas. but this isent the topic here, its about a games console Control Pad being able to .

MySwordIsHeavenly4335d ago

I can communicate Netflix and YouTube between my television and my phone. EVERYBODY can do that. This is not a new idea.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin1d 2h ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken1d ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

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.

Z5012d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos2d ago

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.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj2d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger1d 22h ago

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.
