Epic Games vice president Mark Rein is confident that the Wii U will be a huge hit with consumers when it launches sometime later this year. Speaking to Eurogamer Rein stated that he believes parents are now ready to upgrade their kids existing Wii systems.
“I like the Wii U. I think E3 will be a big eye-opener for people.”
“I played Batman: Arkham City on the Wii U and they are doing some really cool stuff with the controller.
“Do you remember the Zelda demo they had on it? Would you not buy a Wii U just to play that? Of course you would. That’s what Nintendo is all about. Their hardware is the software delivery service for their great content. That Zelda demo was gorgeous and we can do even more than that with Unreal Engine 3. I think it will do great.”
“It’s a great brand that a lot of parents really trust and they’re probably ready to buy their kids an HD Wii that does that much more than just being an HD Wii.
“I’d love it if they’d done it last year, but I’m excited for them to do it this year. I’d be shocked if it doesn’t do well.
“Did you play that Battle Mii game? Two players would play with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk and one would play with the Wii U controller?
“I would buy a Wii U to play that game in a heartbeat. And I hope people make those kind of games with our technology. I think we’ve yet to really see what the Wii U can do and I think at E3 this year they’re going to shock us.”
First!!!
One day Imma do the first thing just to see what the hype is about. I mean, I get first all the time but what’s the big deal about it?
Your not worthy of being first >;[
xDDD That made me laugh so hard.
*shakes fist* I’ll get you yet, Evil Peteriuss! MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!!
UR WORDS ARE NOT WORTHY!!YOU SAID FIRST TOO!!!

Dude Mark Rein is always bashing BigN ,, I dont know what did he eat but he complimented WiiU , WTF
He must’ve made a bet against Patcher. Guess he’s lesser of the two evil.
Zelda demo was MAGNIFICENT.
Unreal engine 3 will be better (???)
Unreal engine 4 will be better than ”3”, and might run on Wii U.
Mother of God :O :O :O
BETTER BE!!! >:(
This would be the perfect console for games like Baten Kaitos to come back on.
Legend of Legaia could also come back and instead of inputting left and right we could draw the attacks out like with the ds. This should be interesting to say the least. I’m putting my money on the Wii U as well.
I have not heard about legend of legaia in years. I loved that game. I played the first one on ps1
WTF! what’s Legend of Legaia
I want Baten kaitos. >:(
Shit! Now I can’t wait for E3!! =O
Exactly. Seeing the entire console put together will shut everyone up.
it’s gonna be epic! This year we will not only know everything about wiiU at E3, we will also experience that, in our homes! buying on day 1!
and yes, I would buy it just to play Zelda in HD! :D
Oh they won’t shut up. Their put-downs will just have much less founding.
maybe you’re right, that will just feed them with more things to complain about. guys like pachter can’t get enough…
Ok…
Who is this and what has he done with the real Mark Rein?
why? is the real mark rein not like this? cant people change their minds
Eh he’s just always come across as a bit of a tool. Like going out of his way to exaggerate and be overly negative about things, when a bit more professionalism would have improved his rep.
Sure people can change their minds but that doesn’t mean it isn’t surprising when they do.
So you’re saying the Wii U has won over a guy who’s known to be a cynic?
Hmmm, do we listen to this guy who has used the Wii U and worked with it, or do we listen to Pachter who has no experience with it? Tough choice.
we listen to mark!
Mark rulz!!!!.. no?
im satisfied
with me
lol xD
Are you Peteriuss Original?
Cool man,why don’t you take a seat right over there so we can talk more??
aww <3 me too babe
Yea in all honest Nintendo looks like it’s gearing up to kick some ass this generation, no fanboyism…..o_o
Nintendo will blow everyone out of the water aat E3 this year. It’s gonna be so good: You will shit in your father’s mouth when you see it. I’m serious!
You are gonna kill, fuck and eat 4 retarded Mexican babies when you see that shit.
You’re just gonna rip out your asshole and throw it on the wall, and it’s gonna stick there, then you gonna dive through it into another dimension when you see what the Wii U is capable of.
All credit for that joke goes to Louis C.K. and his stand up special “Hilarious”
Leave luck to heaven.
Dude I’m Mexican and I’m sooo offended… no seriously I’m Mexican you ass hole xD
Dude, I thought you said you were Greek? Anyway, it’s just a joke. You should check out Louis C.K’s stand up special “Hilarious”. to get the full context of the joke.
If you like comedy, you won’t regret it.
Ok I forgive you… I’m just kidding I don’t forgive you I’m evil BITCH!!!!!
viva mexico cabrones!! I’m with you evil BITCH ;)
No Bitch was towards him I’m not Bitch I’m prteriuss :]
Viva Mexico y Viva el Mundo!!!

http://extremeadvertisements.com/
lol I’m Mexican and Iaughed my ass off at this xD
Can you rip your asshole and stick it somewhere?
I think it’s possible.
Challenge accepted!! XD
I was Just kidding LOL its a RWJ reference :/
“You are gonna kill, fuck and eat 4 retarded Mexican babies when you see that shit. ” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA EPIC quote!
yeah i would be suprised if it didnt do well
Can’t wait till E3!:D.
I can tell by your pic XD
i would be upset and shocked , if Nintendo fails! i can’t wait for E3 2012!!!!
I like how companis are openly praising the Wii U. Usually before a console release, especially Nintendo’s, there’s very little heard. I know we’re not getting exact details of what the companies are doing but at the same time, they don’t seem to be acting like they’ve got NDAs, even though they probably do have them.
From my perspective, I’d buy the Wii U and experience it in a very huge way. Unreal Engine 4, Frostbite 2.0, CryEngine3… my body is MORE than ready!
Sell your body to me
3 grand for mine…
will wii u games run @ 60fps?
Yep. That’s one of the points that was made after it was revealed
From what I understand, a lot has to do with the developers. But yeah, having a great console will help. So far, it’s been said that the tablet controller keeps up remarkably well, even if you switch gameplay to that screen (I believe the article is on this site)
any idea if it will upscale wii games to 1080p?
no, it wont. :(
Epic Games sounds like such a good company.
*Especially because of this :3*
Only thing I’ll miss from Xbox is Gears of War. But yeah, they’re quality developers.
I know it is too early to say at this point, but I think the Wii U will be the best Nintendo console ever, it’s gonna sell great
The most shocking will be if Epic pulls 180 on all this positive feedback they’ve been doing so far.
Here’s is an interesting article:
http://www.forgetthebox.net/uncategorized/nintendo-working-on-at-least-three-new-franchises-for-the-wii-u.php
Even though Mark Rein is a tool and is likely being paid a large amount of money to do a 180 turn with his comment, if we take that other article and this comment and combine them with other rumors, it seems E3 will be Nintendo’s best yet.
hey Sickr, you should have an app for android and apple where we can see your knows it would be great
sorry i wrote wrong its news not knows
Nintendo better deliver with this one after last year was such a snooze fest. only 2 unannounced games were announced (LM2 and SSB4) and the rest of the show was “HEY LOOK AT THIS COOL CONTROLLER”
Now what do you say “Michael Pachter” ??? :D
Michael Pachter is an Idiot :D
I can say only one thing,He is better than Pacther
He’s the opposite of Pachter.
Pachter = IGNorant
Epic vice = Anticipating
Still even Xbox Sony fans hate pachter, read this for your enjoyment
http://n4g.com/news/57074/idiot-of-the-week-michael-pachter
Finally, a man that makes sense (hint hint wink wink, damn you Pachter and your incorrect and obvious statements). Anyway, who wouldn’t be surprised? The thing’ll be selling for a bargain IMO!
The only thing Nintendo released ‘console-wise’ that failed ‘sales-wise’ was the Gamecube. Nintendo can’t fail right after the Wii.
“That Zelda demo was gorgeous and we can do even more than that with Unreal Engine 3”, would Nintendo ever let them do the graphics? Cause it would be AWESOME 0_0
I think the Zelda demo was indeed powered by Unreal Engine 3. The last time I’ve seen the Zelda game with the best graphics was the GameCube.
I heard a rumor that Epic created the bird demo for Nintendo. Is that true?
I had the same gut instinct about that rumor. I assume that Epic had developed the graphics demo for the Wii U. But I have a feeling it’s Nintendo using the Unreal Engine 3.
Unreal Engine 4 for the next Metroid game. Must need. Even if it’s modified, it’s okay.
Hell to the YEAH
By retro rite?
that zelda demo had only the ps3 graphics (the 25% power of the wiiu),wait untill wiiu is finished
and if they get unreal engian 4 it will be even more powerful:):):):):):)
excuse me, are you the REAL peteriuss?
My anus would be surprised if it fails :/
yeyyyy! another peteriuss clone! :D oh!!! and look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s the EVIL one O_O woooow…
My Body is beyond ready!
Shoot, my unborn children are ready. :D
aw yeah, it’s a good year to be a nintendo fan.
The wait for E3 is impossibru!!!! Mark’s comments do make me really excited for Wii U. Hopefully Unreal Engine 4 will run on it.
As long as Nintendo of Japan are tweaking out on the Wii U’s hardware (CPU and GPU-wise), I’m sure there will be a higher (or highest) possibility that the 8th generation console will be the first gaming console to have games powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 4.
That would make the Wildman very happy!
I love the technology guts of computers.
I do believe that EPIC will show off Wii U running unreal Engine 4 in real time during Nintendo’s E3 conference.
Me too Vice President, me too!
Wasn’t the wii u not able to play wii games in hd?? Then How are the parents going to be ready to buy a wii hd ? :|??
he not saying wii games. He saying that parents will think that the console is a wii hd meaning wii with hd nothing more but when they buy it they find out it does a whole lot more than just HD.
If Wii U does ULTRA WELL!! THIRD PARTIES are gonna jump board then 720 comes a get lots of support leaving Sony with nothing to comeback with.
omfg. why are they torturing me like this? i was already sold when they showed that the controller had a touch screen and they keep on telling me this stuff that just keeps making it better and better :(
i swear i tried screaming “TAKE MY MONEY” at them in their hq in washington
Pingback: Mark Rein says a few (very positive) things about the Wii U, will be “shocked” if it doesn’t do well | LatestGamingTalk.com
they better have some SSB4 shit in E3 >:(
At best, we’ll get a trailer akin to the one at E3 06.
those rumours and lies have made m sick!
the wii U will fail misserebly
THE WIIU IS A FAIL DUMB CONSOLE
Why don’t you just leave and STFU, troll?
did he just posted the same comment twice? oh boy.. trollism is finally going to the next level! I’m so scared :[
I’m really looking forward to this, but I don’t think it will do well. Just a feeling.
those rumours and lies have made m sick!
the wii U will fail misserebly
just wait when 720 will come out it will have twice power than wiiU and ps4
Troll face… The next XBox and PS4 won’t be at E3 this year. It’s Wii U’s turn to shine and there’s not a freaking thing you can do about it. You have zero proof, zero predictions, and you’re sucking Pachter’s wood. GTFO, Roy’s boyfriend!
TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Aww, go ask Patcher if you may cry on hi shoulder. Poor thing waiting for a new xbox so he can play same Call of Duty games just with better visuals. Sorry if this news had to upset you.
Fuck you! you Major Troll!
Nintendo you should give me a Wii U for my birthday today:-)
same here WY WY WY!!!! :( release it sooner PLEASE
happy birthday to you mr. jose! yeyyyyyyyyy :))))
WHY??!WHY I AM NOT IN AMERICA???! D:
Am I the only one that got excited when he mentioned Arkham City and the “cool stuff” they’re doing for the controller?
the wii u is going to be epic it will probably run on unreal engine 4 and is 6x more powerful than the xbox 360 and ps3 it is going to kick ass thank you nentendo I think I am going to die if it does not release soon and they said it will be 300-200 dollars that is really cheep for a system so powerful THANK YOU NINTENDO YOU HAVE WON ME OVER EASY and I have played a ps3 before and I think Nintendo is going to kick Sony’s copy cat ASS!!!!!!!
If Rein have given Rocksteady Games (for WB Games) the Unreal Engine 4 to use it on the Wii U version of Batman: Arkham City and blow both PS3 and X360 versions out of the water, imagine how loud the audience will cheer and scream three months from now.
yep that is correct it is going to be epic even if it doesn’t have unreal engian 4
i love nintendo
me too!!!
same!!!!!:)
I love peteriuss’s nice side..
