The Wii U – Hands-On Preview [GamingLives]

GamingLives gets some serious hands-on time with Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console, and reports back on its handling with Pikmin 3, Game & Wario, Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros U.

"The visuals displayed were so beautiful that by the end of my time with it I found myself preferring to gaze at the screen instead of the TV whenever possible. The hardware admittedly leaves me a little in awe, but without the right line-up of games that can fully demonstrate its power, it could be left unappreciated and underestimated."

White cat black cat, as long as it catches a mouse its a good cat. If it's better for us why not.

I honestly think it would be in Sony's best interest to at least include an option for asymmetric gameplay. Think about all of the possible gameplay additions that could be possible. Also, keep in mind that when Sony "copies" Nintendo they usually come out with something that takes it a step further(some would say they make it 'Better' but that's strictly opinion)

Look at the original PS1 controller, it was essentially a modified snes controller. However, it added 2 additional shoulder buttons (now a standard)

Now Look at the dualshock, it added rumble(originally Nintendo's idea) and made it so that its in both of the handles providing ideal force feedback.
It also added two analog sticks(Nintendo introduced only a single joystick) and they added extra clickable buttons on each joystick and made them more comfortable.

The PS move added 2 analog triggers and more precise controls for a motion controller, improving upon the original wii remote.

Now imagine what they could do with a second screen and more options?

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest298d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__298d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic298d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh298d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51298d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos298d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz298d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183298d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07785d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad785d ago (Edited 785d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07784d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212785d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX784d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX784d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
