Still no rpgs.

[Fallyn]

apparently there was a FRAPS watermark on one of those videos

[Shojin]

The graphics don't look brobox or PS3 quality to me from these renders...

or is it just me?

Thought the same thing. Strange as I thought the specs were above 360 quality.

welcome to 2006 graphics wise?
No exclusives

[Tymon]

I expect it to look at least as good as the 360/PS3, based off those videos, not a stretch.

From an article I found

The device previously known as Project Cafe — the successor to the Wii teased by Nintendo in April — is now official today at E3 in Los Angeles. The name? “Wii U,” which Nintendo says underscores the fact that the gaming experience is all about you. As expected, a 6.2-inch integrated touchscreen display (bundled with a stylus) is a big part of the product, acting as an augmented display that can be used with games in a variety of ways — as a rifle scope, for instance, or even as a golf tee if you set it on the floor — and it’s wirelessly paired to a small box attached to your television. It’s backwards compatible with the Wii and Wii accessories, interestingly, and you’ve got an integrated mic, gyroscope, camera, and a full range of traditional gaming controls. Nintendo’s also promising some type of cross-platform compatibility for certain games with the 3DS, though they’re not going into details just yet. Fortunately, the new machine will output HD, so it’s a step up from the Wii’s capabilities.

Are you on acid? The graphics looked like pure shit compared to PS3. Compare Tekken...there you have it.

they already have enough exclusives with all their Nintendo remakes

[Ker]

I still don't understand what makes this superior to the PS3/360...

I was right :D

[Priran]

this guy looks like an exceptionally evil 80 year old who got a facelift

[Correction]

Wait they trot riticello out there and he shows NOTHING?

[Fallyn]

GL seeing BF3 on that, just sayin'

[Tyrath]

I think once people have the system, the added features of the WiiU will make those games the more desirable alternative. Of course, assuming the controller has a reasonable battery life and feels comfortable enough..

But it'll look prettier on PS3/Xbox lol. Plus I think that controller looks awkward as hell to play on. I can't play very long on something that wide as I've learned from psp. Gonna stick to my already owned ps3 for darksiders/arkham/AC :/

[Priran]

"think of what they represent together"

..the death of nintendo?

[Fallyn]

GIMMICK, not innovation

[Correction]

Hey guys remember how you loved the DS? Try to love the 3DS and the Wii U just as much please please please
