The official Nintendo magazine has managed to get some exclusive hands-on time with Nintendo’s forthcoming console, Wii U. The publication gives a competent overview of the console and its unique controller, the Wii U GamePad. The Wii U overview video allows you to see exactly how the Wii U console compares in size to Nintendo 3DS XL, Wii and GameCube.
FIRSTY !!
That stopped being funny, humorous, or even worthy of congratulations as soon as it became mainstream. Plus, it’s just downright annoying now :/
Exactly.
Queer.
They could’ve at least wiped all the marching powder off the machine before they made the video
So really Nintendo Official Magazine are the first people to get the system… must be why I can hear Tri-force Johnson crying
i dont thinks so a company is not a single person
It looks so awesome in black. :D
Someone on the ONM team just discovered After Effects…
My eyes…
How come we can’t see the back of the system?
There is always one to complain. F$#@%#$%@#$%#$% THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS!!!
That is a good point. but the back is the least important…you wont see it that much….so never shall u see it.
I’m not complaining. Just wandering why
i have see like 100 times they are not going to show it in each video,look on the internet shees
geez I didn’t know
Bad Anubis, bad. How dare you? Your question is a cardinal sin, and you must now be put in the Iron Maiden! Mwahaha!
Three. More. Weeks.
I’m about as unstable as a damaged, Terminator fuel-cell!!!
Keep Us informed when you get it soldier when you get the Wii U and give us a insight
I’ll provide some detailed intel after field-testing the unit Sir!
Try to open it, better yet dont do it
If it has triangular screws like the Wii did, then fuck that!
The last Wii I opened, I used a soldering iron and blow torch… I fixed it by the way, but it wasn’t pretty.
For $3, I could have just bought the damn screwdriver… D:
Thank God mine’s paid for right along with 9 games :-)
Damnnn you’re rich BITCH!!!
Looks like GCN is the grandparent. When comparing the Wii U to the Wii it looks like the Wii ate a super mushroom lol
That console looks more beautiful everytime I see it. The GamePad is as long as the Wii U itself. Wow. I’ve heard people say it’s a big controller, but it’s very light. Even lighter than the wireless XBox 360 controller. It should be easy for anyone to handle.
Will smith we see again lol
Great, now ive got to play Metroid Prime Trilogy again.
Lol. I’ll be playing through the first Prime on the 17th to celebrate the 10th anniversary :)
I was planning on playing through them all, but then i started Fallout 3 again xD
thats a old game i will not mind paying 60 to play on the wiiu
The gamepad practically is the pipboy .___. Id contemplate straping it to my arm if i didnt need to use it as a controller
It would be awesome for everything whit out having to pause to change stations check mission status and placing way points on the fly
I started replaying it about 2-3 months ago, but I stopped somewhere in the Phazon Mines. Damn you backtracking!!
Oh god, yeah Prime 1 was the weakest to me due to its constant back tracking
Mike S, Metroid Prime sucks.
But it’s ok. Enjoy it. I’ll be playing with your mum on the 17th. And I’m not talking about videogames. ;D
*eye twitch* … tales of symphonia dawn of the new world… love that game..
I find the first one better :P
cool review man, wish they were all like that.
The Wii U is one sexy beast (especially Deluxe Set model – in black). With so many features and a lot of stuff you won’t find in most consoles, it’s a definite must buy along with a line up of almost 50 games at launch and in the launch window. I’m looking forward to playing the U after the launch.
I love Wii U but glossy plastic?
Absolutely disgusting.
too fucking shiny, looks a little cheap…
kind of annoying, maybe i´ll get the white one because of this.
cheap that would be ps3 slim and slimmer slim vile looking machines
Not cheap but fingerprints and little scratches, brrrrrrr…
Whenever there’s a will, there’s a way. Thus, there’s a screen protector for the Wii U GamePad.
Filters. Wat r u doin. Filters. Stahp!
Every time someone uses that “Stahp” crap, I have this insane urge to tear a house down with combustible lemons.
I’m a member of the “Save the vowels” movement. Sue me.XD
I had to do it :p
But seriously, those fx filters…so much yellow and black
Reblogged this on Drndark.
Why does Nov. 18th feel so far away?
Pfft, try November 30th.
Same for Australia. :/
For your whinening you will both get it on december 8
Nah, preordered :p
Paper Mario will be though >.>
That was delightfully British…. Just under three weeks for us fat Americans! Well, I’m not fat, but most are.
im hopping those time came back for the looks of things we will see much people paper thin
If you’re saying you’re hoping for skinnier times in the US, then I agree. Even if I’m not American :P
For the ladies sake, in the very least
sNGRTH kubacndneatp
This video needed more yellow light glare on the system :T
I completely agree. And some instagramy filters and girly quotes written with cute text to really jazz it up :P
^
It looks like the Wii ate a super mushroom!
The Wii mated with a 3DS, and while they both had Star-power. Lost the stereo 3D, gained HD!
derp it supports 3d as did wii gamecube ps3 x360 etc even snes supported 3d
I was waiting for the money shot nice big salty load all over that lag free sexy man controller sleek black big and salty just how I like them
Quite a post here Lars. I did like the information on using the Design Binder. It is shmntoieg that I tend to pass over just like the design library. I am going to request that our IT department Whitelist your blog so I can your blog at work. Now time to cut and paste your post of wisdom into my TiddlyWiki for reference. Thanks Lars, JRU_1962
MAN I hate glossy black. It looks fine on pictures and presentations, but using anything in black gloss at home is only fun for 5 minutes. Then it get’s disgusting, smudgy smeary and plain fugly. I won’t touch the Wii U as long as Nintendo won’t release a white or other color option with enough space on it.
Contradicting yourself much, Detty?
Who is detty? And why should I be contradicting myself?
I dont really see the problem, my 3DS is a gloss black, and i never see smudge marks…
Then again, my hands are pretty much always dry, and rough so i dont leave smudges or anything.
The black wiiu is shiny as fuck! it’s going to look good in my room dammit!
until it gets dirty, in that case, i will clean it everyday!!!
The Wii U literally looks beefier than the Wii lol
Pre-ordered 2 of these bad boys, one for me, one for the gf, she hates games and can’t stand them, but it’s really the most selfish Xmas present i’ll ever get her, a month early. Can’t wait. Unless someone can prove to me that the odd finger print or smudge actually plays a role in hardware performance (might be Sony’s excuse for all the issues with their fat PS3).
Went and played it at a demo station today . Rayman legends is good. Tablet is light and sturdy, one of the bets controllers I’ve used. It’s worth buying.
dual analog fans u should thank kingtendo
