The Nintendo Wii/3DS/Wii U Thread

Nintendo and Eminem team up for Acid Ghost.
I...I just don't know what to say about this.
I don't know whether I'm more surprised that Nintendo would team up with Eminem, or that they would make a sequel to Geist.

That's a realm I rarely see Nintendo step in. Would be very surprising indeed.

Encouraging words about the Wii U, starting at 7:24. Very encouraging. He say's Wii U is a Next Gen console and home console Aliens will look best on Wii U.

[Sakonosolo]

I'm interested in how "next gen" the Wii U is. Do we know its specs yet? And I'm really looking forward to how the PS4 and Xbox 720 compare to it, since I wouldn't imagine they wouldn't release more powerful consoles after they see what the Wii U is capable of.

Sony and Microsoft are waiting for the WiiU release and then they're like "No way Nintendo has a better console on the market than we have, let's make a better one" lol

Lol. not sure if want.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---



Notice the sticks and new placement of start/select buttons

Apparently photo is a leak, and was removed. Matti Boosh or Bosh or w/e on Twitter posted it, it's gone now. Anyway, controller looked pretty good.

There are rumors that Retro Studios is working on a Metroid and Star Fox crossover.

[GuetaMinute]

^Look at the post above yours.

[RomanceDawn]

-The buttons, D pad and Controller sticks are not aligned any more.

-Start and select seem to have been moved.

-Is it rounder too?

-Also notice the logo? Yup Wii U!

-A mystery square underneath the D Pad? Is it something touch sensitive? Or maybe that is the built in heart monitor? What was that thing called?

[Green_vs_Red]

I would've rather they had put the sticks lower instead of up at the top but I'd have to have one in my hands to judge properly whether that setup is good or bad.

[RomanceDawn]

It's probably just fine, considering all the praise it got at last years E3 and now it's been redesigned with more feedback it must be good.

Also that link doesn't exist anymore! The Nintenjas got that guy!

[MarcelloF]

The Star Fox/Metriod crossover sounds really stupid. I doubt it's true, though.


Maybe the square on the WiiU Controller is to connect the controller to the console.

[Cyber-Robin]

Anyone know what the newest system update does? Or is this the Mario Kart one?

[Hekti]

It's just for the MK7 patch.
Don't know why there's a system update necessary for it though

[OnePark]

They probably didn't want to release a DLC/channel update (Skyward Sword) to fix something so game breaking. They wanted to make sure everyone can get it to make online play fair.

Picture for comparison

Spoiler:

[Big_Bad_Lith]

New controller has actual sticks, instead of slide pads, and from a side-view shot I saw, very sexy curves. I cannot wait to have this thing in my hands.

[Hekti]

Actual sticks is a big improvement in my opinion.

[Supa64]

The new design for the WiiU is rumored to have clickable sticks and was the favorite among developers.
