Games Industry has assembled a number of PR representatives to discover whether Nintendo’s Wii U event on September 13th will be overshadowed by Apple’s event on September 12th. A number of the representatives seem to feel that Nintendo has failed thus far to spark enough excitement and anticipation for the console. Here’s what one PR veteran thought:
“My main thought is that Nintendo has a bigger PR problem than the date of its press conference. The biggest issue Nintendo has is the lack of anticipation or confidence. They have not created enough excitement and confidence among both consumers and developers, nor has their quiet given people the sense that a delightful surprise awaits. There seems to be a cloud hanging above them of ‘concern.’ They did not do a great job after E3 of bridging toward the fall. If they want this press conference to succeed, making people believe that there will be a surprise or proof of a big flagship title may help. Highlighting their focus on third party or any other innovations would also help.”
“It seems that Nintendo does not think of Apple as a true competitor, and they seem to be relying on the fact that their intense focus and disregard of the rest of the market will prevail again. It’s interesting Nintendo is doing their press event in New York; that feels like a statement of appealing to the mainstream press, the mass market (as opposed to Silicon Valley or the game developers). But Apple is already mainstream and doesn’t really need that, of course. It’s possible Nintendo believes reporters who cover interactive, games and tech will simply cover both events, and since they don’t seem to really think they are in the same business as Apple, they may be surprised.”
“From here on out they need to really close the gap, make a statement and gain consumer confidence for the retail launch.”
Who cares?
I am very confident and looking foward to it.
this news is BS . this is how nintendo go about their business. they always do this. they did this with the wii , gamecube , DS , GBA , 3DS.
I think nintendo is going to really well with the wiiu .
I wouldn’t listen to this article. lets judge the sale’s after 1 year.
if it’s doing like the vita after 1 year , then worry . but it won’t. it will do well
Anyone remember the anonymous sources from game industry saying wii-u was weaker than xbox360 can’t do what it can?
Yea ignore them there trolls.
*they’re
What? Even if you were correcting his “them there” which is a thing people actually say, then you would still be wrong.
He needed a comma and the apostrophe to sound like a normal person.
“Ignore them, they’re trolls”.
Oh right, I get it. People do say them there without the comma, but your thing makes more sense.
Yeah sorry Nintendo’s not putting out Taco Bell commercials with there mascots playing with Adrian Gonzalez those are coming soon.
Just because you’re confident doesn’t mean the rest of the world is. As Nintendo fans, we’re a small percentage of people that really, truly want Wii U. And frankly, Nintendo isn’t focusing on us. They’re focusing on people on the fence about the Wii U, and other people who haven’t even heard about it, which they according to this guy, they’re not doing a job dealing with them. Walking around in NYC, I still don’t hear anyone talk or mention the Wii U at all.
Exactly. They are just cunts. They need to spread more to get the cock in!
“Who cares?”
^ My exact feeling towards this news.
Let’s get something straight here, people. Nintendo is, and has always been, a toy company. They will NEVER (and I mean NEVER) become a company that follows suit of what everyone else is doing because they believe in the notion of “Creating Something Unique.” The day they can no longer proceed in doing so is the day that Nintendo, as a company, ceases to exist. Satoru Iwata himself has stated that, while the smartphone industry is surely taking off, there will always be a demand for a true gaming experience whether at home or on the go. Games that are less than $2 and only playable on a touch screen (where most of your vision is obscured by your own fingers) is absurd when compared to the full-length, truly-dedicated portable systems and home consoles that Nintendo has become known for over the past three decades.
When parents go to the store for holiday shopping, especially at an electronics retailer such as Best Buy, the first two sections they hit are the gaming and home theater before anywhere else. Why? Because that’s what kids ask for during the season–the next big thing that comes out.
Of course, parents who judge by brand name aren’t going to get their kids something else for a Microsoft or Sony console because they know the Nintendo brand is geared more towards the family. Like it or not, that is what Nintendo excels at more than anyone else–being able to have such a wide and diverse fanbase. From Nintendo enthusiasts and long-time fans, to the most casual of parents who don’t know jack about gaming, to even 2-years-olds, almost everyone recognizes Nintendo’s most distinguishable featurettes. Simply put, Mario (which is going to be available at launch), Pokemon (which everyone knows will come sooner or later), and Miis (ever since their popularization on the Wii).
In other words, if the Wii U is priced at what people have been suggesting (with 3 bundles of $249, $299, and $349, respectively), then there should be absolutely no reason that any true Nintendo fan or gaming analyst is dismissive about the Wii U’s already approaching critical success. Nintendo has been doing everything right by having their last big title on the Wii being The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword since last year, and the first thing on parents’ minds this year will most definitely be “Is there something new that I can get my children for ?”
The Wii U innovates gaming in almost every aspect. It is the most backwards compatible console we have ever had in the gaming industry on top of everything else already mentioned. Miiverse is so far shaping up to get its own place in the social networking sphere, and, dare I say, looks like one of the most ambitious social networking services we have ever seen before during our time. I wouldn’t be surprised to start seeing it integrated into as much services as Twitter or Facebook in the coming years. Then, we have the promise of the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Network–with all of their services–AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH. Those three words are the most important of them all.
Something the Nintendo 3DS lacked was the unavailability of system-selling software (which the Wii U has already corrected), lack of online services at launch (“You mean you can’t go on the Internet Browser or Nintendo eShop of your Nintendo 3DS until MONTHS after launch?” <- Can't tell you how much trade-ins must have occurred because of that.), the Wii U GamePad is a totally revolutionary concept with asymmetrical gameplay given to the fact that the bottom screen on the controller is no longer tied to the top display on the television (this is important as it distinguishes the console from the Wii, whereas the 3DS looks almost exactly identical to the Nintendo DS).
However, nothing else is as important as this next point which everyone seems to forget. The Wii U is Nintendo's first 1080p HD console (the only one that is coming out soon as a matter of fact). In other words, all of Nintendo's franchises are about to receive one of the biggest facelifts seen in the history of gaming, going from GameCube-like graphics, to beautifully rendered HD locales. If that does not wet any Nintendo fan's appetites for more, then I don't know what will.
Looking forward to hearing more about the Wii U this September 13th. I am actually considering even getting rid of my Nintendo 3DS XL that I just bought and waiting instead for the Wii U to come out (I have always been more of a home console fan of Nintendo's than a fan of their portables anyways). New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, Nintendo Land, and ZombiU all look marvelous, and I can't believe that I want them all and they're all going to be available at or near launch! What else do I need to be pumped up for the Wii U's launch other than pricing and release date!? That's FIVE exclusives right out from the gate!
Some people will never be satisfied no matter what you do for them…
i bet ya nobody will reply to you because there scared to read a fucking novel.
nope.avi

I agree, Nintendo needs to make us more excited..
I second that notion.
It vill never happen my friend
Am with you am a big fan of nintendo since the nes am 35 i own a wii wich i play for 3 years and then bought a ps3 cuse i get tire of cookinf moma and carnivals games then nintendo show the wii u and i get pump again but then…no news …no info….no games….no promo…is like everything that i see or read is bad things…nintendo need to ste up and fire this console make us exited and delivery not only a unic expirince but good graphics and tripla A ganes to back this upfrom nintendo and third parties or nintenso will die
Have you watch Wii U Experiences on Nintendo YouTube Channel everyone single PERSON THERE said something POSITIVE.
Kids – Teens – Young Adults – Adults
Signs that Shitendo is finally going to go out of business!
I guess casuals will just have to up their game finally!
Youre name says le in it please just no
*Your , learn your grammar , dipshit
A whore troll giving grammar lessons lmao
That was completely unnecessary.
And when we correct him,he starts saying”it is the internet,who cares”.
Says the guy who doesn’t know how to place comma’s? Also, do we suddenly care about grammar Nessy? :)
oh look van scrotum has a new username…
I dont think so take a closa look at his gravatar
You can change your gravatar, Mr Brains.
The sad thing about you is you’re not even a GOOD troll. You’re painfully obvious about it.
go shove an xbox360 power bar up your gay ass herpes boy
hahaha you mad bro? They’re gonna win the console war sales again, just like last gen
i guess you only read the title rather than the article, fail troll.
im confident in the wii u but im not exited
This is why I think they should’ve waited a while before NSMBU. They could’ve spent the time working on a big, original 3D Mario game to really get people hyped for the system, instead of something that’s literally identical to what we’ve just had on the 3DS.
Yeah, if you think this:
http://www.mariowiki.com/images/1/1b/Monty_Mole_Grasslands_NSMBU.png
looks like this:
http://www.mariowiki.com/images/7/73/NSMB2_screen1.jpeg
you don’t need eyes anymore.
If it wasn’t for different info layout on the screen, I’d assume they’re the same game. Maybe even the same level. I’m sorry, New Super Mario Bros sucks ass and Nintendo really shouldn’t have used this to try to draw people in.
“If it wasn’t for different info layout on the screen, I’d assume they’re the same game.”
Yeah, you don’t need those eyes anymore. You can’t be this retarded to think those two pics are from the same game. Its like you’re desperately trolling or something.
And no, dumb ass, NSM doesn’t suck.
So much butthurt.
I’ve been playing Mario my whole life and I have good reason behind what I said. I’m not the troll here.
He’s a nintendrone , just ignore him ..he gets butthurt over anything against Nintendo.
Dude, imagine the rest of the consumers. There are a lot of stupid people in the world when it comes to games. You can’t deny that many people would not see a difference than us.
They are effectively the same game with slightly different graphics.
I’m not saying their unenjoyable, but seeing that we’ve just had a 2D Mario platformer already this year, it’s clearly not going to sell as well as it would if they’d waited a while and done something different in the mean time.
“They are effectively the same game with slightly different graphics.”
And artstyle, and powerups and moves, and mapping system, and multiplayer mode, and a different mode in general, and different type of inspiration, and different types of level themes.
You’re an idiot.
The art style is the motherfucking same as NSMBWii. If you think just shitting up the background with something “new” is enough to make it different, seek help.
What’s funny is NSMBWii on Dolphin being upscaled into HD looks virtually identical to this.
You’re basically getting a $50 expansion pack in HD and fancy new backgrounds. So “new”.
You don’t need those eyes anymore.
Kindly dispose of them.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4832/1338395164584.jpg
Kindly disposed of your self-gamer status, you’re one hell of an idiot if you can’t see it.
Go play NSMBWii in HD on Dolphin *assuming your basement kept Windows 2000 PC can handle it* and compare it to NSMBU. SAME. FUCKING. GAME.
WOW, LET’S ADD SOME NEW BACKGROUNDS, IT’S DIFFERENT NOW GUYS!
Oh wait, let me just see if the modding community can do that and there you have it. NSMBU for much less.
And, dumb ass, NSMB2 and NSMBU are on TWO DIFFERENT CONSOLES, with TWO DIFFERENT AUDIENCES.
That’s like saying “Oh they shouldn’t have released Uncharted Vita on the same year as Uncharted 3”.
Look, it’s pretty obvious that a lot of Nintendo fans think the NSMB series is being milked right now. That is NOT saying the 3DS version isn’t fun, and I’m pretty sure the WiiU version won’t be an exception. But hurling insults at people who have a different opinion won’t get you anywhere. Sometimes I feel like some Nintendo fans on here are a bit edgy cause of jerks like Aeolus, Ness and Siegfried constantly spouting shit about Nintendo, but there is a difference between trolling and constructive criticism
“it’s pretty obvious that a lot of Nintendo fans think the NSMB series is being milked right now.”
Yes, having 4 games in the span of six years on four different consoles is “milking”! Another word misused by dumb asses.
And you call “LOL IT LOOKS DA SAME” with no ACTUAL reason is constructive critiscm? Wow, ANOTHER phrase misused by idiots!
They have the same art style, most of the same power-ups and moves, the same boring 4 playable characters, the same level system (even if NSMBU branches paths), same inspiration (making money off of idiots), the exact same level themes (grassland, desert, water, etc), and the same audience.
“They have the same art style”
No they don’t, dumb ass.
“most of the same power-ups and moves”
Remember when NSMB2 had the Ice Flower and the spin jump? Wait…
“the same level system”
Remember when NSMB2 had one big ass overworld with 3 secrets in most levels and you can pan out and zoom in on every single world? Wait…
“the exact same level themes”
Yeah, remember that world in NSMB2 called Layer Cake Desert, with melting pastries all around? Oh wait…
“”
Compare those “differences” to Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, or Mario Galaxy.
Oh, and dumbass, NSMB2 DOESN’T EVEN HAVE FOUR PLAYERS.
You are a fucking idiot.
said the fool who believes that M$ is the way of gaming.
On top of that, there isn’t a single console or handheld with two NSMB games on it, and I imagine Nintendo will keep it that way. The different styles and controls of each console are enough for me to consider them different (yet still related) games, but if they suddenly released 5 of them on the Wii U and 4 on the 3DS, then I’d start to question their logic…
Dat innovation…
I agree totally, but the 2d games sell a lot better. There is method in their total madness lol
I have to agree though?
There hasn’t been proper hype for it althought I am definitely looking forward to it and getting it of course as a Nintendo fan but towards the other audience… It’s pretty meh to them.
Personally feel that the PR department hasn’t doing their job well recently..
I’m sure they will advertise starting like on thursday. They seem to do that. It is still two months away. I don’t think they failed as they are just about to start. If they would’ve been advertising for months already some people might get bored with the idea. It will be more exciting to the majority of consumers if they haven’t seen it for a long time and it will seem newer which will make it sell more.
They are announcing the iPhone 5, it’s big, but who is really going to be talking about that for an extensive period of time.
Only the iSheep out there will be overwhelmed with the announcement of the iPhone 5 (last time I checked they are still not the majority of smartphone users worldwide). Those like myself (Android users) will check out the apple event to see what the competitions is up to and then switch gears to see if Nintendo will take the next big step.
Gamers (both haters and those who cannot wait to own the WiiU) will be watching the press conference to see what the complete game plan of Nintendo is.
[Laughter]
Dont know why you’re laughing, we know you’ll watch it with your dick out, in case they say something you dont like, so you can knock one out
Laughing at the little kiddies and basement dwellers like you anticipating it. I’ll be outside making money and having an actual social life in the meantime.
If that’s the case then why are you on here trolling?
*Boom*
Headshot!
Nice one, dude.
The asskissery is strong in this sheep.
…thats the best you can come up with?
Because I have the time to do it.
There you go, simple answer to stupid questions.
How’s it a stupid question when it’s simply a question based on what you said? You claimed that you’ll be outside making money, having a social life, and you’re trolling and causing arguments with people you disagree with on a blog.
Your a 28 year old loser who sits on the Internet for hours reading evey comment and arguing with people, most half his age.
Some social life. Your a waste of sperm.
Talking to Eric? He’s 28 and that sums him up well. I don’t recall being 28 years old so you’ve got the wrong person here, chump.
Also, you’re*. Learn some proper fucking grammar you stupid piece of shit.
Your a 28 year old loser who sits on the Internet for hours reading evey comment and arguing with people, most half his age.
Some social life. You’re a waste of sperm.
apple no es un rival para nintedo por que los ipads iphones y ipods nuncan van a superar una nintendo dsi nintendo dsi xl 3ds 3ds xl wii y wii u por que solo con unas consolas como esas se tiene una buena esperiencia de juego.
Us: Retro’s game?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Us: A hardcore game that you’ve actually made?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Us: Pikmin 3 on launch?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Us: Nintendoland bundle?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Us: A Mario game that took more than 5 minutes to make?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Us: Any real info on the console itself (price, date, specs) from June 2011 to September 2012?
Nintendo: F*ck that.
Great job, Ninty. Real confident and excited. -_-
Nintendo: Here’s all secret products, all available this holiday!
Sony and Microsoft: Thank bro, we’ll stand coming up with marketing ploys and stealing your ideas right now.
*start
OH AND NINTENDO NEVER COPIED IN THEIR WHOLE BUISNESS YEARS
!! *sarcasm*
Not recently. Nintendo are the only company innovating and forcing a change into the industry, alhough Valve sound like they want to do it too
said the fool who think M$ is innovated.
Yeah, because that’s what I said…
shuddup Bitch!! a hardcore game ??? don’t go there you fucking tramp.
nintendo’s games are for everybody . they are hardcore and casual at the same time .
Us. listeng to your comment ?
me= F8ck that.
^this
Yeah, because clearly any serious gamer will get as hyped for NSMBU as they would for Metroid Prime 4.
If they’re a bigger Mario fan than a Metroid fan, then yes, they WOULD.
You nailed it TGD!!!!
It needs a big game at launch. Im talking one of nintendos big franchises. NSMBU and pikmin aint gonna cut it.
Exactly . Nintendo needs something to impress people like me that abandoned Nintendo , something that gets people’s attention ..not some same old Mario bullshit.
It’s never a Nintendo system debut without the #1 mascot in their company. Quit being a fucking ass hurt fanboy and accept it!
GameCube didn’t launch with a mario game lungi does not count
You should know that Luigi is Mario’s brother… right?
NSMB is a disgrace to Mario. It hardly counts. That’s probably what he meant by “same old Mario bullshit”. Who’s the ass hurt fanboy?
Uh… Geraldo Rivera… Just because Mario is an inconic and franchise character in Nintendo’s history doesn’t mean New Super Mario Bros. is a freaking disgrace!!!! DOUBLE STANDARDS! Nintendo wants to create a new game that combines the original New SMB with the visuals of Super Mario World… but with more colorful graphics. No one is an asshurt fanboy, Geraldo. The fun in playing Mario titles remain the same as always.
How is it a disgrace? Thats how Mario started….
Exactly. Why are we back to where it started? I was under the impression Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy were all successful and innovative. So why are we taking massive steps backwards?
I don’t see them taking massive steps backwards, Rico suave. Get fucking used to it!!!!!!
Not this loser again
Why don’t you tell that to your boyfriend assistant Bladder, Subpar Snoober… the world’s fucked-up detecative!
GCN, Wii, GameBoy Color, GBA, 3DS…
Metroid. If they released Metroid they’d be fine! But no :(
just wait until the thing is out and they’re done being secretive out it
there will be loads of commercials and crap
I think this person hit the nail on the head. I’m a Nintendo fan for life. In fact, unless you want to count a PC, Android, and an iPod Touch as gaming platforms, I’ve only ever owned Nintendo systems. The only game that has me really hyped (on the Nintendo side of things) is Pikmin 3. While New Super Mario Bros. U looks visually impressive (the details are absolutely beautiful), I couldn’t be less excited. We just got New Super Mario Bros. 2 not even a month ago. And I couldn’t care less about NintendoLand, which is essentially a mini game compilation. It was a huge misstep at E3 to not include games that were outside of the launch window. It doesn’t create any buzz for the future, and doesn’t give anyone any incentive to own a Wii U beyond the launch window. Keeping quiet is just biting them in the ass. As of this writing (and this may all change), I’m not planning, to pick up the Wii U at launch. I’d rather wait down the road and see the offerings a year from now. Nintendo, please prove me wrong. Please make me want to own the console. This is your last chance to knock it out of the park. I want to see you succeed.
^yep
Then you’re just a fanboy.
Shut up meg
I’m just a fanboy as well. Just don’t forget that it’s us, fanboys, that’ll buy their games and consoles, and guarantee that Nintendo never disappears from the market!
You clearly didn’t read his full comment, oh wait you have trouble reading…
you never like this site to begin with, your just a xbox fanboy.
You really are illiterate aren’t you?
Apple no es un rival para Nintendo por que ni un Ipad ni un Iphone ni un Ipod van a superar a una Wii ,Ds,Dsi,Ds XL,3DS,3DS XL o Wii U. Por que solo en unas consolas como esas se consiguen una muy buena experiencia de juego .
“Apple isn’t a rival for Nintendo, because neither an iPad, iPhone or iPod could surpass a Wii, DS, DSi, DS XL, 3DS, 3DS XL or the Wii U. Because only consoles like them can give us a good gaming experience.”
I agree with you, my Hispanic friend. Nintendo manages to do something new that we would never think about before they announce it, and Apple relies in apps and payable content for indie games. Even though Nintendo is also bringing indie developers to their forthcoming console, it’s the WIi U exclusive games and features that’ll guarantee it’s success. It’s true that the market of phone games is increasing, but they’ll never be able to offer the same experience as a true gaming console does, specially if it’s Nintendo we’re talking about!
what do you expect when they’re being all secretive about everything
wait until the thing is out and there will be commercials and ads everywhere
I love your avatar, because that’s exactly how I feel when I see some comment like this. Nintendo is being secretive about their console in purpose. Everyone who’s been keeping an eye on the WIi U news is getting on the hype for September 13th, specially the so-criticized Nintendo fanboys (the ones who’ll buy the Wii U at launch).
Although Nintendo doesn’t give a shit about competition…(almost)
They do need to market alot more in the west and Europe.
Then they can stop wondering why they donät sell as much as they want to in those regions…
I’m sure that in a few days, after the 13th thing, they will begin advertising. It seems to be the way they do things.
I can’t wait for the Wii U!!! It will be a day one purchase for me.
Well you won’t have to worry about the stock running out!
I wouldn’t count on that. You have no idea of how many Nintendo fanboys are out there. And yes, I am one, and I’m willing to buy the Wii U at launch, just like a lot of other fanboys as well!
you will!!!! cus they are all gunna sell out for about 2 years!!
As a so called journalist he should’ve been keeping with Wii U on his own, if it falls into his area of expertise. And I personally am not so lacking in my attention span, that I need constant reminders of a product to know that it exists.
People love the Wii U experience tour. The people who’re interested in things like this already know what it is. And you don’t have to worry about NSMBU, it is the biggest gun in the Wii U launch line up, whether you like it or not, Mario moves hardware. It’s very smart to have him there at launch. With the 3rd party support and Nintendo’s own offerings, the Wii U is all set for this holiday and beyond. Leave luck to heaven.
agreed.
Agreed…the fact is that, while the more serious players like us may or may not be that interested in NSMBU, the game will move systems, which will mean more third-party bandwagon jumping, which is only good news for us as players and fans. While I may get NSMBU to have as a fun multiplayer game(5 players is sweet), it is hardly at the top of my list. Darksiders 2, ZombiU, AC3, Scribblenauts: Unlimited, Project P-100, and TTT2 all have my attention right now, with a few other honorable mentions. As of right now, my wallet will be crying straight through February(when I pick up Aliens: Colonial Marines) so no biggie that they didn’t launch a huge Mario game right at launch.
As a matter of fact, I prefer this. It would be the first time a Nintendo console has launched in umpteen years that I have been more interested in third-party titles than Nintendo titles. That has to bode well for the future, because I ultimately know I will be interested in Nintendo titles, but, if we are hyped for other companies, then maybe they will be hyped to make us more games and steal more money from us. One can hope.
I couldn’t say that better myself. Totally agree.
Gee, another overpriced phone, who cares?
Its a phone. Not a gaming console. People arent going to be like, “should i get an iphone 5 or a wiiu?”
They’re nothing alike. Id understand if it was a sony or microsoft conference, but its not, its a phone.
I do agree Nintendo and the WiiU need to be hyped up more, they need to have WiiU roadshows, so people can get their hands on it, advertisement need to go pronto, but this is still stupid, when the 2 products and companies are nothing alike
Smart phones are now considered gaming platforms , deal with it ..nintendrone
Its a device that plays games. By that definition, Monopoly is a gaming platform. It’s not the same thing. It quick little inexpensive games, with no substance, and NO BUTTONS, that cost barely a penny, or are actually free. FREE. Thats why monile gaming has gotten so big, if its free, people WILL take it. But you can even compare an iOS/Android game to a retail game release.
Well no shit , Ofcourse the games will be low quality compared to handheld games ..because smart phones aren’t DEDICATED to gaming , its basically just a feature and a little gimmick they use to suck in more casual gamers , and besides I have seen many iOS games that look BETTER than anything i have seen on the 3DS and Vita , Uncharted vita looks like something that can run on an iPhone.
Then what is your point? Apple is going to do fuck all to the gaming industry, so who the hell cares? Why are people so focused on Apple.
“Ermergerd, its made of glass, woooooow”
It’s because the casual gamers and teenage kids that know nothing about phones , they buy anything that is trending.
Then how the fuck are you helping with that?! If you know the Apple is just a trend, stop using it to aim hate at Nintendo.stop being a fucking fanboy.
Fanboy? I’m provinga point against apple, how does that have to dowith nintendo?dipshit

Quit wasting your breath, ass hurt Nessie. You’re still a fat ass loser!
“..because smart phones aren’t DEDICATED to gaming”
So…. that means they arent gaming platforms then -_-
The 360 isn’t dedicated to gaming either, nor the PS3/PC. Neither are less of gaming platforms.
Nintendo’s hardware however, are fisher price products.
Pulling stuff out of your ass much, loser? Nintendo’s hardware are powered by AMD and IBM. WATSON is even smarter than you, Sony dick rider. And BTW, Sony and Microsoft’s motion controllers are Fisher Price titles. Suck on that, you no cocked prick!!!!
The 360 is powered by the same companies, and I highly doubt you even know what Watson is even used for. Oh right, stupid trivia game shows, so tell us all how the fuck is that going to do anything meaningful for advancements in graphics and AI. Go on, tell us all.
I do know, Anus Breath Aeolus. While the Xbox 360’s CPU is powered by IBM’s Xenon, the Wii U’s CPU is powered by IBM’s Power7-based processor… the very same processor technology found in their WATSON supercomputer. Do the math!
So you basically, didn’t answer the question and skirted around it, implying that having some parts of the processor power a supercomputer is supposed to mean anything in regards to gaming, AI, and graphics advancements.
Good to know you’re as stupid as ever.
Coming from a basement dwelling, carpet munching, raped in the ass troll who doesn’t know fucking shit about processors used for video games. You’re more stupid and retarded than a blond with a higher IQ.
I don’t know shit about processors? YOU HAVEN’T FUCKING ANSWERED SHIT. You’re just hurling around “Oh lol it’s based on a CPU in watson, which is a supercomputer, that means it’s powerful” I bet you wouldn’t be able to detail ANY SPECS of it that means anything significant for gaming. You’ve never studied AI. You probably don’t even know what FIELDS Watson is good at when it comes to AI. In fact, those very fields aren’t ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO GAME DESIGN.
All you’re doing is relying on buzzwords, you don’t have an argument and you don’t have the slightest clue about what you’re talking about. You’re an idiot.
What’s wrong, Asshurtlus. Did a Nintendo supporter hurt your feelings or your father anal raped you like a spoiled little brat that you are now. What TheUNation have stated are facts of what we know at the moment about the Wii U’s CPU according to Nintendo’s site. Quit being such an asshole and get the hell over it!!!!! You’re already a parsidic cancer to the Nintendo blog. You don’t fucking belong here… exclamation point!
Eh. I prefer ‘Assolus’ or ‘Aeoluls’.
Aeolus “It starts talk crap” again…
Smart phones are just smart phones. They wanna be just like handheld game systems like Nintendo, Sony, Sega, NEC, and SNK.

And yes, we do need a big title for launch, but the 360 and ps3 launch games werent exactly good, it still has the best launch line up ive ever see.
And yes, we do need to see Retro’s game, they’ve had long enough to not even tease it.
But we have to remember, Nintendo is still a business, and unfortunatly, yet unsurpisingly, its 2 competitors are a little cheeky and like to copy their ideas. I mean it to Microsoft less than a year to react to the WiiU and announce SmartGlass, Nintendo pretty much have to drag out the bigger reveals so Microsoft akd Sony cant react, or delay their own products. Its kind of disgusting really.
Don’t they have WiiU hands on things though?
I can honestly say that in my opinion. Every one fucking loves apple now adays. When ever I talk to my friends/family about Wii U they don’t give a fuck they want the next PS4/Xbox720 ya know, its like im the only one that wants it out of them. Ill get it once it has games I want for it.
Yeah, not everyone loves Apple, i own an iPhone and even i hate Apple, unfortunatly im stuck on a contract -__-
I cant stand apple. Ive got an ipod and I cant stand itunes. Im never getting another apple product.
Apple is dogshit that got spewed all over the TheUNations face.
Apple is a computer company, Nessie the Graphics Whore. Nice try!
Graphics whore? Oh I was pretty sure a few days ago you were bragging about how powerful te wii u is an how amazing AC3 looks on the wii u , Hypocrisy at its finest. OWNED
I don’t get OWNED, Nessie… you’re the one who has CANCER! Nintendo will prove all those critics and hypocrites wrong this Thursday. Thousands of people from around the country (a few from around the world) have went to see The Wii U Experience and enjoyed the game demos on the new system. Not only they love the superior graphics, but also the gameplay ingenuity of the touchscreen Game Pad. Just you wait until this Thursday morning.
We shall see , Can’twait to piss myself laughing;)
Instead, you’ll be pissed off and get your anal raped, Nessie poo…
That’s just to prove a point to you.
Not because he’s a graphics whore.
Ditto. Its so counter intuative, its a joke. “oh heres all your music!” “what if i get a new computer?” “go fuck yourself. Gimme £300”
That I fucking hate… if you pay for music which laws make you do then you should be able to put it on what ever you want! And the fact you gotta have a credit card for an itunes account is bull shit too, I dont have one (I wont ever get one) so I had to set my ipod up under my aunts itunes account. So Ill probaly have to do that again once I have a new iPod so I can transfer the music I legaly payed for onto the new Ipod with out having to buy anymore music.
That’s why I still use CDs.
I aint bringing a CD player with me when I go out and ten different CDs…
I have an G3 iPod touch because I love how accsessable iTunes is. I just use it for music but Ill have to get another soon since that one is just a 8GB and im runing out of room. That is the only apple product I will only buy because they did it right with iPods but anything else is just stupid in my opinion.
“…anything else is just stupid.” …Like what?
The iPhone and iPad and macs in general. IPad is just a iPod that got steroids, aint nothing amazing with iPhones and you cant do shit with macs.
“You can’t do shit with macs.”
Again, like what?
Oh ya know because a lot or stuff aint made for them? no need for me to have $1000 facebook machine.
thats because your family stink’s . all my friends and family want a wiiu. and some of them want the next ps and xb .
Apple is shit and cannot be compared to any gaming platform.
£30 game >>>>>> £3 game . end of discussion .
I can assure you that my cousins would school you in anything that is tech and video game wise. They aint stupid.
Anybody can, this guy never has a clue about what he’s talking about.
I’m still LOLing at “Wii U has next gen memory”
me to !! it’s funny how the wiiu’s memory is a lot bigger than the current generation of console and therefore HAS to be considered Next gen .
its not funny , its true you fucking spastic.
I’m still LOLing when you admitted your almost 30 and you live with your mom!
You’re probably a 13 year old boy, seeing as you really suck at talking shit.
Keep your keyboard warm, it’s not like you’d be able to do anything to me IRL, so nothing you say really matters, virgin. :P
aint nothing wrong with being a virgin.
your cousins don’t know shit , lol .
they probably think the vita is better than the 3ds. ie = idiots.
Uhh they are DS gamers. But right now they are all about PC gaming. They dont own anything like a PS3 or anything, we my older cousin doesnt anyways. My younger one does have a PS3 but again they are all shifing to PC now.
seriously dont even question my uncles and cousins tech knowledge >_<
They sound cool then , i will let you off :)
I just hate the fact that people love apple because everybody loves apple
Yep and it just spreads from there :/
I love android though ♥
I agree with this guy but like others said its hard to create buzz when the lid is still righty closed on the system. We need launch dates, prices, and a few games in the near future to look forward to to create that buzz. To be honest I’ll be a day one owner because of NSMBU and Pikmin 3 but I just hope that games keep coming unlike the 3DS (And PS Vita). I don’t own a 3DS anymore because of the lack of big name games. I want Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion, Animal Crossinh and Fire Emblem. 3 of those are coming out next year. Give people a reason to own a system!
ZE WIIU VILL FAIL WHY ARE U VAITING FOR A OLD GENERATION CONSOLE?
Cos the first party games are awesome but your an xbot and wouldnt understand what good IP’s are.
But the wii u is just launching with old
Ports with gimmicky touch controlls.
Im not getting wii u at launch. Im waiting for bigger titles.
Exactly
So all you do is spend your free time on this site talking shit and complaining and ur still getting the wii u??? Wtf? What a waste of space in this world you are
I never said I’m getting the wii u ,fagnut
The guy avobe you just said he wont begettingthe wiiu at launch until bigger titles are out and you said exactly so you were implyingthat you will get it eventually so you failat lifeand this phone sucks ass
“Gimmick”
Ok, anyone whos played Assassin Creed know how fucking annoyin it is to pause the game, go to the map, search around the map, then bring it down, ALL. THE. TIME.
In Mass Effect 3 amd Darksiders 2, you can only assign a few powers. Oh look, now i can assign pretty much all of them.
Oh i just picked up a weapon in Darksiders 2. Now i have pause the game, go on the weapon menu, go to the scythe sub menu, compare the stats. Oh, its worse than my current weapon. Well no matter, i’ll just unpause the game. Now where am i going?..fuck. Pause the game, go onto the map menu, search the map, oh, there, well im not gona get there without pausing the game again in about 3 minutes.
Its not a gimmick, it makes the game better. Just because Somy have been using the same BORING interface for 3 generations, doesnt mean it “perfect”. Nobody but Nintendo is shaking up the game industry. Everyone just sort of died and sunk into this mold of playing the same fucking games, with the same damn controller, and the sake user interface. Its BORING. Thats why gamers are so stupid these days, because nonody is doing anything, because they know they can get away with it.
You’re still using analog controls…its 2012 for fuck sake, its DATED, its INACCURATE, its BORING.
The touch controls are not a gimmick, and launching with old generation-like titles is something every console does at the start. Well, if you don’t like it, go back to your Xbox, PS3 or whatever you have, there are a lot of gamers who will buy the Wii U, you like it or not.
*old third party ports. I only count 3-4 “old ports” of about 40 announced games and about 20 of its launch titles.
None of the launch games are exciting that the ps3 wont be getting or has already got.
I never said that but to say its “it’s just launching with old ports” is clearly plain stupidity or a well misinformed child (I consider all trolls children, no “mature adult” spends their free time in a website dedicated to something they don’t like just to stir up shit)
Old ports on Wii U are better versions. FACT
Its the same game so who cares.
I do. Even though I have a PS3, I don’t have all of the games now being ported to the WiiU. Might as well wait for what will probably be the superior versions now
Stop calling everything “gimmicky.” Morons like you call any new piece of technology you dont understand, like, welcome, or are scared of a gimmick. The word you’re looking for is convenient, dumbass.
oh no anything that is not made for xbox is a gimmick in his eye.
he is a fanboy.
i am excited, confident, and ready to take that step in getting the Wii U in my household but i do kinda agree with the post that Nintendo has not really built the hype for the system. ever since E3 11 Nintendo has been pretty hush about what they are doing with the Wii U and when they unveiled NSMBU at e3 11 it looks the exact same as the demos that we have been looking at in the past 3 months, it looks like Nintendo is stuck in neutral and haven’t really shift the gear in building the hype for the Wii U. see ever since they announced it back in 2011 i was excited cause the innovation and where they were going with it. even now it seems they have have their shit together a little bit with new titles and a little more stability but they just need that one big punch to get them over the top and i say this i am not doubting Nintendo but they are not showing me why i should invest 250, 299, or 350 or whatever the price is and that is alot of money to throw at a not so sure future of Nintendo, i don’t want to feel like i wasted my money on a quiet misbelief that is not 100% yet. so lets just see what Reggie says at the press conference on the 13th and if he can somehow change the face of gaming or i see something that puts assurance in my money then i am on board. if i don’t see anything i will pass on the Wii U until PS4.
You’ll be sorry, Jonny Quest!
now i didnt say that i would not be getting the Wii U im just stating the fact that all of what i said is true. nintendo has always been the to innovate new things and create new ways to play and they always start everything, but then you have your copycats (ps3 and xbox360) that take that new innovation and tweak it to their benefit and make it better (ps3=move controller and xbox360=kinect) but then nintendo lays down and says ok you wnat to take our ideas thats fine we will just keep making new innovations that change the ways you interact with your game console and your gaming experience. so you see nintendo knows what they are doing if they didnt they would have shut down years ago after the death of the n64. i say that to say this. i will eventually get the Wii U depending on what i see at the press conference is whether i get it at launch or i get it in the coming year.
That’s because they can’t build up hype, they just want to hide in inferior hardware and anounce all the games LATE , that’s why there is no hype ..the only hype it’s getting is from fanboys , If they actually show off the ALL of the systems capabilities then maybe gamers will think about buying it.
So the most powerful console that will be out in a few months is inferior? FAIL
Have you seen Zombi*dogshit*U ?? Lmfao
ZombiU is dogshit…good one. Ok, I’m pretty sure if that game was coming out for the PS3/360/PC instead, you would be saying that, right?
THIS^
I can only say I’m on the hype for the Wii U, and I think both Nintendo and the third-parties have been doing a great job in making me confident on the Wii U. And once again, we hear some words that tell us exactly the opposite of what’s happening in the gaming industry to try and make Nintendo seem like they’re loosing with the Wii U.
I agree. I have been a sycophant for Nintendo for years, they could never do no wrong, but I’m sat thinking WTF with the Wii U. I’m not excited and that’s based on the fact I only care about Pikmin 3, and were now hearing it might not be out at launch.
This^, when I first saw the wii u i was like WTF? And same with the 3DS and 3DS XL , I gave up on shitendo years ago and im glad I did ;)
Get used to 10 more years of this and slightly better graphics

Nobody seems to mind, so I’m not sure what your point is.
Boy… you’re definitely missing out on everything. Especially games like Resident Evil: Revelations, Xenoblade Chronicles, and The Last Story.
Emulated on PC :)
Fuck emulation! Play it on a game console, Ass Pirate Nessie!
Woah oh. Looks like ness is a closet Nintendo fan here.
“I gave up on shitendo years ago and im glad I did ;)”
Yet here you are, taking the time to download emulators and such to play games on a system that not only you hate but wish to go under. So much dedication for someone who gave up a long time ago and spends his prepubescent years roaming Nintendo websites to compensate for something.
I meant to say I CAN download them if I want but they aren’t worth the time.
And you know this how? Haven’t played a Nintendo game in years, yet you know that the new titles aren’t worth your time?
Plese do yourself a favor and get a girlfriend so you can stop being so angry all the time…
Lol, suggesting non-Nintendo users to get girlfriends.
The colossal amount of irony here.
The irony here is, Nintendo’s multiplayer experience was for local multi support, to be more precise, having other people over to your house whilst other companies pushed online player, some lonely guy in his basement screaming at people over the Internet in game. I think it’s clear what user group, going off your definition here has the least amount of social life
Trust me, you don’t know anything about my social life. Meanwhile you’ll be asking your mum for allowance and never being touched by sunlight.
You can’t play awesome 3DS exclusives on PC faggot
Because someone who spends all his free time trolling a fansite of a company he supposedly hates obviously has a social life…irony indeed
What awesome exclusives? They’re all mediocre with similar genres that have done it better.
Gives up on company years ago, spends hours trolling on website dedicated to said company.
Troll logic.
seems like he is a fan of Nintendo but he does not show it on public, like those people who are fans of my little pony.
go n wash your dick,
Dipshit
Eat shit Nessie!
Lol “dipshit”, haven’t heard that word since primary school, must still be popular for that age.
I hate to say it, but I somewhat agree. Now for those of us that pay attention to video game news, we’re already hyped (or not). But I think there are many people who still don’t know what the Wii U is. To those people, I do believe that the PR has been poor. I do think, due to their secrecy, Nintendo has its work cut out for itself.
It’s because 1) Nintendo doesn’t want to give away any secrets about the Wii U; 2) Microsoft is copying Nintendo’s patented GamePad and names their peripheral the SmartGlass while Sony is copying Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. franchise and name their game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (Sony Smash Sisters); and 3) Nintendo have given the Non Disclosure Agreement to all third party supporters until it’s expired.
Its called competition. Its been happening for years. Get over it.
