The latest issue of Famitsu has revealed that a proportion of gamers in Japan are looking forward to Wii U. The publication surveyed 1000 gamers in late September on the Famitsu website. Those surveyed were asked whether they would purchase Wii U on launch day. 45 percent of those who responded said yes, they would. Another 37 percent of those asked said they would buy one, but not on launch day. The main reasons gamers said they wanted one was due to the strong launch line up the system has which comprises of New Super Mario Bros U and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.
Thanks, Elias
Me too
Woah, woah, woah there lil buddy…. get it right (Mii too!) :)
Same. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!! :D
Hey sickr!!! I’ve stumbled across a proof video , that batman arkhum city on wiiu is FULL HD .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml6VUdgvQxo&feature=g-vrec.
The Warner bros /Nintendo REP clearly states ”for the first time , on a nintendo console , Batman is in FULL HD” . Why would we say this if its just upscaled or whatever ??
If it was 720 upscaled he would just say ”Its HD on a nintendo console” .
Very cool.
Its worth reporting , its like some guys personal video which has 0 exposure. But its the proof we have been looking for for BACAE
Thank you for sharing this clip, Nintendward. Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition is truly the most definitive title for the Wii U! No doubt about it.
indeed sir
Nintendo Wii U will be a console you must own period! Especially if you love games of all genres. Guaranteed success! Mark my words or my name’s not Miyamoto!
Miyamoto (or should I say Miiyamoto?) has yet to fail imo so I beliieve you
You Stole my name ????? Seriously ???
Shiggy! Who’s developing Metroid? My Guess is Nintendo EAD.
If it’s a 2D game I think it should be for 3DS.
Shouldn’t it be 3D if it is on the 3DS? How about a compromise and have it be 2.5D.
I meant 2D as in sidescrolling. But yeah, it should be 2.5D.
Your name isn’t Miyamoto… Doubt you’re even Japanese.
Can’t wait until its out myself. It’s going to be a complete hit.
That’s great news!
I also heard through the grapevine that Nintendo’s share price is OVER 9000!!!… Yen.

yep , I went there . Sorry !
Thank you for that nintedward.
lol
To be honest is their a time when Japan ISN’T excited about Nintendo Products… probably not.
That was mainly during the Gamecube days, where the system was consistently outsold by PS2. N64 also suffered some droughts.
Virtual Boy..?
And in ye olde America people don’t even understand that the Wii U is a new console..
Quite sad isn’t it?
i find it sad that it further adds the stereotype that americans are dumb such as the dumbass’ who only care about graphics and not gameplay
^HA!
Mii too? No seriously, I’m excited as well.
Si se encuentra dentro de mis posibilidades, yo tendré la Wii U en día de lanzamiento.
Err….ci?
lol.
Espero que esté dentro de sus posibilidades. Wii U va a ser impresionante!
I agree , Zombiu looks great but it doesn’t show off everything about the wiiu .
I see it as a good start of the Wii U.
Me too , but I was just jokeing XD !!! I was pretending to understand that guys Spanish .
XD man I’m gulible
HAHA I noticed that something was off good one though.
;)
google translate helps :P
first one said he hopes he can afford it.. second one basically said he hopes that aswell because it will be awesome
i don’t understand why it’s so hard to speak english on an english newssite though
There’s Google translate it’s good enough!
はいそうです。
thats what she said
Dude google translate sucks
At least you knew it was spanish
Google translate sure is helpful. lol
Carlos Hugo was just saying “If it is within my means, I’ll have the Wii U at launch day.”
It has many possibilities? And you’re getting a Wii U on launch day? (I’m not too good at Spanish yet) :P
Out at the end of next month .___. My wallet is ready
So, 1,000 gamers mean Japanese gamers in general are “super excited” for it?
1000 people is a fairly acurate survey . Although it was on Famitsu’s
website so they’re all Nintendo tech nerds .
Its not the best survey , 1000 people in the street is better .
1000 people can indeed be an accurate survey (most election estimates aren’t done with bigger survey groups than that and they tend to be pretty accurate)
but for this the survey group has to be selected at random and as you pointed out that isn’t the case here
so definitely a biased survey
should have asked random people on the street.. i’m sure most people in japan will have heard of nintendo and know about their upcoming console
Agreed , it would be interesting to see what japan thinks of wiiu on the street aswell , No doubt everybody’s talking about it and some sony fans dislike it and the majority of Nintendo fans are obbsessed with it .
Same has the 100 that vita would be a susces but i kind of belive an unbias magazine
because 1000 > people who buy ps4/720 now lol
Yes. Something about sample sizes and statistical significance and some such shit, but yes, it’s a decent gauge as long as they sampled random gamers, and didn’t just grab 1000 people from a Nintendo direct or something.
Unless it was the wiiu price anouce wich was full of haters
This was a Famitsu survey, I don’t possibly see how this is a gauge for “Japanese Gamers”.
I’m just saying 1000 is a sufficient sample size given it is built from random, japanese gamers.
Was it? Hell, I don’t know.
Not really random if it’s a known fact Famitsu and the readers are generally more interested in Nintendo.
With or without Famitsu’s survay, isn’t it pretty safe to say Japan is weighted towards Nintendo?
Regarding the survey, it depends if it was a sample of their resderd
*readers, if so, and if what you say is true about Famitsu subscribers is true, then the outcome was inevitable.also, there’s the “other” survey, which are the hardware sales in japan… We know how that’s going.
Not really, it would have been better to make a survey a random people off the streets as suggested earlier. Not all of them may be interested in gaming, but they at least know about Nintendo and what they’re planning to release.
Do you not understand the purpose of a poll?
Obviously not.
Shampoo commercials… 56 out of 84 women agreed this is great. No advertising regulator bats an eyelid.
1,000 is massive in comparison.
Everyone’s going to love the Wii U, even the ones hating on it right now. Leave luck to heaven.
especially the people hating on the Wii U that are also bayonetta fans!
I wish i could just hibermate untill a week before the wii u is launched. Nintendo has really out done themselves with the wii u and they should be proud. All of us loyal fans are always happy with what Nintendo has done. And on that day when you get the Wii U, you realize that shit didn’t just get real, it just got personal. :’)
South Park did it! Cartman froze himself and pulled a Buck Rodgers. Freaking sweet episode.
It’s over, Nintendo is finished.
You’re right. 7th gen gaming is over and Nintendo is finished with their ‘casual’ image. The future of gaming is indeed bright.
You twist turned his ass back to the times of Henry the 8th!!!!
Weak trolls like that come here to piss off passionate fans just for a few jollies. The only way to beat them for real is to have a few jollies at their expense. The good trolls wouldn’t leave themselves as open as that guy did.
:) . If you call THAT open , you’re good man , REEEAAL good!!!!!! XD!!
aw cmon he’s mostly harmless
i mean.. obvious troll is obvious.. and he’s brought that line for like the 10th time now^^
I think he is just kiddin’ around.
Who, Me or Blaise? Either way, you may be right.
Blaise.
I think he was being sarcastic… I think?
yeah nintendos sales are over 9000000000 and nintendo is finished making gamecube games
well yeah MH
something tells me you’re not super excited! :O
but i am

They’re excited? I just pre-ordered New Super Mario Bros. 2, Assassin’s Creed III, Darksiders II, Ninja Gaiden 3, Batman Arkham City-Armored Edition, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, ZombiU, and Rayman Legends. I plan on getting Mass Effect 3, Scribblenaughts, Tekken Tag Tournamnet 2, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Pikmin 3 later. My wallet hates me but it’s going to have to get over it for my new love, the Wii U.
I meant New Super Mario Bros. U btw. Sorry.
9x$60 = RIP wallet XD
I didn’t even mention all the 3DS games I will be getting either.
I wonder if their bodies are ready…
what is the wii u? is it controller with a screen for wii? I’m confused y’all.
OMG! look at the picture!
Cant wait for my deluxe Wii U!!!! It comes out November 18th and My birthday is about 2 weeks away on December 6th. My mom and dad are giving it to me on my birthday along with 2 games, and then comes Christmas, game heaven for me hahaha :D. I’ll be 13 years old.
As am I!
Vell wiiu might sell well zis year but v8 till the ps4 und the 720 come out und destroy dat toy of yours
Yeah that probably won’t be for a little while. I only see it destroying the Wii U in Specs. Not sales though.
This ^
Toy of ours?!?! Fuck you you little french son of a bitch get the fuck out! The Wii U will be the fucking boss and will always be Sony and Microsoft always copy Nintendo you dick. Sony with its retarded wand remote that nobody bought, and Microsoft with its Smartglass shit. Just like Jellybean said ” Theyre gonna destroy the wii U in specs but not sales” GET THE FUCK OUT.
This isn’t really news, its more like common knowlege in my opinion, its japan and monster hunter is coming out.
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.
I didn’t even mention all the 3DS games I will be getting either.
SO LUCKY! I DOUBT MY MOM WOULD GET ME A WII U! SHE’LL SAY: YOU ALREADY HAVE WII! AND SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THAT NO MORE WII GAMES WILL COME OUT AFTER THE WII U IS OUT
I just had to write a comment, you people who r saying things like “fuckin Japan” are missing the while pount of this survey. They polled ppl from Japan bc wait for it… Nintendo is from Japan! If u diss Japan u don’t realize that u r also dissing Nintendo. And just stop with the Sony and Microsoft hatred, I like the Wii but i also have a PS3 and XBOX, you fans treat Nintendo as a god that can do no wrong and just for the hateful comments about Sony and MS, I hope the Wii U flops! I’m sick of nintendo fans dissing the shit out of sony and MS. I’m not being mean, but u fans shouldn’t insult sony or microsoft and i know this is a nintendo site but u guys should have some decency.
FUCK JAPAN BITCH!!!
hi there do you relize that wii u release date december 8 vs november 18 in north america
i hope preorders sell out in 72 hours like usa
Why people still make use of to read news papers when in this technological world everything is existing
on web?
