Game Informer - We here in the enthusiast press often find ourselves in an information bubble. We have known about the Wii U since E3 2011, but we have always been curious about how much the larger consuming public knows about Nintendo's next console.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
The console is balanced as a system with pros and cons, simple put
I'm not exactly surprised by these reactions. Nintendo hasn't advertised this system AT ALL and we're less than 2 months away from launch. The fact that people still think it's an add on for the Wii proves that.
I think that if they'd gone with something like Wii 2 or distanced themselves from the Wii name entirely or not have a console that looks so damn similar to the Wii we wouldn't have this problem. You can't just add a U to the name of your new platform and expect the public to know that this is a brand new system. At least with a name like Wii 2 people will know for sure that it is a brand new console. The name "Wii U" is confusing for the folks who aren't like me and keep up with video game news.
They also need to make it clear to the public that the system is NOT the controller. I hope Nintendo sees this and makes sure to make it absolutely clear to the public that this is a brand new system and that the controller is merely part of an entirely new console.
I think it's advantageous is the public 'don't' know about the Wiiu. All Nintendo need to do is show people playing games on it with the Wii controller and the average Joe will jump at it. Ignorance in this case is bliss. That's what I would do if I were Nintendo anyway.
No1 cares other than Ninti fans other than those ppl most sales Wii did was from moms & aunts & we all know they didn't get it to play games & also we all know that they dont intent to buy another Wii what they want to do they can do it with the first one.
The wii u has been around since E3 2011? I watched most of it and i must of missed it. I only found out in the last month or so. I think that answers the q: "does the public know about the wii u?"
