Ubisoft’s Guillaume Brunier, the producer behind ZombiU, believes that the touchscreen interface of Wii U could make the console more popular than the original Wii console. Brunier reiterated that no one quite foresaw just how big the Wii would become, and he thinks that the same could apply to Wii U.
“When they released the Wii a few years ago, I don’t think developers–and Nintendo–anticipated how big it would become. I think this is going to be the case with the Wii U too. Touchscreen interfaces are so common to everyone right now, that having this as part of a gaming platform is really going to get Wii U further than Wii got.”
2nd ?
Lolfail.
More truer words from an Ubisoft rep. Yves isn’t the only one who’s supporting the Big N.
Gotta love Ubisoft.
Whether it becomes huge or not, there’s no doubting it’s going to be a lot of fun! :D
yes its going to be great :D
=]
I already know it will be big, the only thing that matters is when are we going to see that greatness. And looking at all those great games in the launch line-up, i just can’t wait.
same here :D
So agree with you
Its the only next gen console im getting.
Yep, i think the same
Yeah, I believe it will do well and will have a lot of fun games. But a console can still sell less than 50 million units and still have amazing titles the N64, SNES proves this. These had ocarina of time, mario 64, banjo, Donkey kong, super metroid, conker, starwing/ lylat wars, earthbound et al. There are many more classics than just these but to name a hand ful there are hundreds of others.
I really hopeit becomes bigger than the Wii. I want it to be the lead console. I can’t wait to get my hands on one. Leave luck to heaven.
Once everyone understands it better, it will be a big success. Excited to spend my money on this! =D. And review the games
The important thing is that Nintendo uses the head start on this gen to reach out to the hard core gamers, because the the PS4 and NextBox launch you can bet they’ll try to rip off the Wii U somehow, if Nintendo look casual this gen that’ll be it for them and the hard core gamers will go to the other consoles that’s what I think could happen if Nintendo aren’t careful
Well, the console itself is very easy to develop for. Same goes with Wii. Despite the Wii being a huge success, problem with it was that in the case of the motion control, it was a real pain to take advantage of it. Take Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition for example…good game, but control issues.
Another problem with the Wii is that aside from its shovelware BS that appeared on the system, there were A LOT of light gun games on there (i.e. Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, Darkside Chronicles, HOTD: Overkill). Granted, this is coming from someone who is a sucker for light gun games anyway. But hey, what can I say, that is TOTALLY no difference than the PS3/360 having TOO MANY FPSes.
RE4 Wii Edition was the best version of the game, and its controll scheme was superb. What are you talking about?
The first time i aimed on that game i knew that i had been waiting on the wiimote since dual analog showed its ugly face i never finished a dual analog game in my life disliked it from day one
Hello! RES4 Wii had the best controls you could ever wish for in a game. I just could miss any enemy with the Nunchuck Wii mote combo. Play it first and then post again. We like that you too are part of our Nintendo and real gamers realm though.
Mean’t I could miss any enemies with the Nun chuck Wii-mote control scheme. If Nintendo makes two more first person Franchises based on the galactic soldiers from other M, the Nun Chucks or pro controllers would be marvels on the Wii U.
I hope every shooting game on wii U uses the same bad controls RE 4 used, because it was awesome.
+1 lol. RE4 Wii Edition was the best version of the game based on controls alone. The graphics beef-up from the GC version was just a bonus.
I think it is great that the Wii U will be bigger :D i cant wait for it to be released
i want a wii u so much right now! Those analog sticks looks so nice! That touchscreen looks so clear, its so…. COOL! I WANT ONE SO MUCH!

To bad they did not make the Wii U have 3D that would be great :D but they did a great job with the Wii U anyway
cuz then developers would have to do more work, AND it would be more expensive
yes your right. but still it would be fun to play mario with 3D
but 3d AND hd…. eh. Lets just wait for Nintendo, they know what they’re doing
yeah your right
Well, the controller itself doesn’t have 3D, but it’s been confirmed that if you have a 3D tv, games that support it will be in 3D. :D
So I guess it’s 3D compatible to an extent, as 3D compatible as the PS3 and such.
WHAT! Link plz
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/07/06/wii-u-supports-3d-tvs-but-nintendo-wont-be-focusing-on-it/
Nintendo has already said that it is 3D compatible but that is not a feature that they are focused on right now. So they could utilize the 3D feature in the future.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U
On July 5, 2011, when asked about whether or not the Wii U was going to support 3D, Iwata told Mercury News, “If you are going to connect Wii U with a home TV capable of displaying 3-D images, technologically, yes, it is going to be possible, but that’s not the area we are focusing on”.
HDMI 1.4 out port supporting stereoscopic 3D images. (Under the Video section of the ‘Technical Specifications’)
oh fuck i need a 3d tv now!
Not really, it wont be a main feature, so most games wont include it.
I totally missed that detail but thats awesome! Although I did just recently get an HD tv so I don’t know that I want to go out and buy a 3D tv now. Maybe if a bunch of good games with 3D features come out. But this is still great news.
3D support is indeed on the Wii U as James D has stated. Nintendo EAD Ubisoft and other creative development studios will probably utilize this best in the future. Don’t even dream of Activision knowing how to make a 3D game of substance lol.
HEY wait they tell us what the camera resolution is? Oh and there isnt a camera on the back, right?
more questions, does the Wii U need a sensor bar? The wii sensor bar was so thin, like the wire would tangle up and looks like it can be broken easy
AND can we play wii games on the gamepad, i wanna play Super smash bros brawl on it and mario galaxy
i know i wish they would release more information
And they will next month. Either of the Nintendo president will make an announcement including even more info on the Wii U on Nintendo Direct.
okay thanks
it probably will need a sensor bar for the Wii remotes. Let’s hope they improve it…
no i was talking for the gamepad itself
The Wii sensor bar will be usable on the Wii U, and the tablet itself has it’s own sensor bar so you can play Wii games on the GamePad itself. And I think the Wii U will come with a sensor bar as well, otherwise the tablet wouldn’t be able to communicate with the TV regarding the position of each other relatively (note that it’s what I believe after seeing every info available until now, take my words as speculations only).
Will probably use the Wii sensor bar since you’re supposed to be able to use the original Wii remote, I doubt the GamePad has a sensor bar and I doubt you can play Wii games on it, just because it wouldn’t really work if you’re too close to the gamepad, and if you’re far away from it you can’t see it and it’s kind of pointless.
Although actually after saying that I remember that golf part of the 2011 E3 demo, where the gamepad was on the floor with a golf ball on it and the wii remote was used to hit the golf ball, that may use a sensor from the gamepad I guess so I may be wrong, but it may also use only the accelerometer/gyroscope from the wiimote plus.
But even then, it’s unlikely that Wii games would be playable.
why would the gamepad need a sensor bar?
Wii backwards compatability is confirmed. But you wont be able to play GC games, only Wii games.
The Wii U’s game pad has a sensor Bar. Thus I know since Nintendo is awesome and respects customers, they shall let us at launch or in the future play Wii ( XENOBLADE, the last story, Monster hunter tri, pandoras tower) games on the Wii U touch screen Pad.
Correct there is no camera on the back of the Gamepad, only on the front. No information on the resolution of the front-facing camera though.
so much for having pictures while people not noticing. Now i need to turn the other way to take a picture of the hot chicks
If they are in your house then why would you need a picture?
And of they were in your house, wouldn’t they be your family?
Not necessarily…they could be friends of your family. Either way…do you really need a picture? And are we really having this discussion?….
creo que wii u seguramente va a ser superior a wii en ventas
teri paan boht swad va!
Thats indain lol
To me, its thay touch screen I’m most excited for. I think the motion controls will take a back to the touch screen. Ive always been into my gameboy more than my consol, but I think the wii u will really capture my attention cause to me it seems to be a great big DS. Im definitely more excited for wii u than any other.
YUP SUPPORT :D
France is 97% literate, the five brother that formed Ubisoft are originally from France. Unknown to most of you, most of the inventions we so enjoy today were invented by the French i.e cars. So when Ubisoft have faith in the Wii U believe them, and not idiots like Aeleous.
Cars are German, As for any thing good invented by the french cant think of one. French did invent being crap at war.
French inventions include:
The Diesel Engine
Scuba diving suits
The Stethoscope
Bikinis
Sewing machine
first digital calculator
So not ‘mind blowing’ but still things a lot of us see in day to day life.
I agree with Ubisoft. Many people dont understand the pntial the Wii U has. I think it will be highly successful!
Nope, the casuals are gone. They were the only driving force that got the Wii its sales.
Thats your opinion man, stick with it.
No, it’s a fact. There’s a big difference.
Lol i’ve been a hardcore gamer for 26 years and i easily, and happily, chose the Wii as my console of choice this generation, plenty of great A+ core titles for anyone who wants to look, even if they are outnumbered 50:1 by the crap games
Shh…Nintendo fans are not allowed to disagree with the super-genius that is Aeolus.
Pingback: Ubisoft Producer Says Wii U Will Go Further than Wii | GenGAME
I can see this happening especially now that nintendo is in the hd business. you know the saying, never doubt nintendo, and their hardware.
Wii U has so much potential. The tablet controller concept is quite intriguing. And with all those controller options, including the traditional control scheme and the Wiimote controls, I don’t see how anyone would not be the least bit interested in Wii U (unless of course they’re graphics whores).
hi there yeah tablet controlers makes wii u bigger market sells becuase look at the ipad market sells 90% tablet market soo nintendo went with mini ipad
Can’t tell if you’re a troll or not.
A company that has games coming out for a new console is trying to hype said console?!?
Unheard of!
Not entirely true, Vanilla Icy.
