About what I expected of a dated system.

PopRocks3594176d ago

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

jaosobno4176d ago (Edited 4176d 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.

jaosobno4176d ago (Edited 4176d 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.

PopRocks3594171d ago (Edited 4171d 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.

HebrewHammer4176d ago

The funny thing is, I gave him an agree LOL

TripC504176d ago (Edited 4176d ago )

dafegamer4176d ago

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

You must have commented on the wrong review.

NoTheMama4176d 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.

MegaLagann4176d ago

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

ChickeyCantor4176d ago (Edited 4176d 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.

Bluenuts94176d 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!!

shivvy244176d ago

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

Bluenuts94176d ago

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

Neo Nugget4176d 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.

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.

Z5013d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga3d 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

Profchaos3d 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.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

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

Chocoburger3d 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.
