Nintendo's Wii U console has been the main topic of the gaming world ever since the company announced its existence back at E3 2011. As of now, Nintendo is still holding its cards and hasn't revealed either its price point or when it will be released, although it's mid-November release date may have been leaked back in July. Nintendo will be holding a press conference on September 13, 2012, which we'll have front-row seats for, that will hopefully shed some light as to the questions "When?" and "How Much?".
Up until now, Nintendo has been pushing its white Nintendo Wii U console in a number of press pictures and during conventions, but the black Nintendo Wii U console has been something of a mystery. At E3 2012, Nintendo said they would be releasing only a white Wii U at its launch, with a black console coming soon after.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Yes I prefer the black Wii U, to the white one, I have a black Wii. I think it looks so much better than the white one
Hopefully this guy leaks some info about the hardware because Nintendo aren't really saying much.
I guess I'm one of the few who would actually get the white one instead.
its a Dev. kit
Why did they put the sync button right there on the face of the system. It should be hidden behind the door. It's like an ugly red zit on what is really a nice and sleek looking system.
