Nintendo Announces Wii Successor

ohh boy i gotta use a bloody psvita as a controller (worst controller designs)

I want to know how much they will charge. the PS3 controllers were like $60 when they first came out and didn't even have dualshock. These controllers look like they are in the $100 range so multiply that by 2-4 and that would really suck

Wii U?

Nintendo... seriously?

Edit: Wii U?

Nintendo... seriUsly?

This is Uber awesome, dUde. It has long been my dream to see how switching the positions of the analog sticks and the button/d-pad would work. U can bet I'll give this a try...when the library becomes appealing.

Well, I guess WiiU is harder to make fun of than just Wii.

Wii U suck

That's... interesting.

As a child of the 1980's i have to say Nintendo brings me nothing but Memories these days. I Harken back to the days when i would get off the bus for school, run inside, and play mario. I Love Nintendo i seriously do, and as much as i hate to say it, im going to wait on this console. I want to believe Nintendo cares about core gamers bjut

Another Nintendo console with a silly gimmicky controller and a terrible name. I'll pass.

Soooooo controllers that will be 100+ bucks?

Hadn't thought about that...an excellent point.

Likely to be upwards of $100 controllers and god forbid you drop the damn things

Reggie said in an interview that all that footage of multiplatform games were either PS3 or 360 footage. other than Zelda and Mario Bros Mii none of that was actual WiiU footage. Zelda looked good so I'm sure it can run those games but we haven't truly seen this thing in action yet.

These companies seem to be competing for the title of stupidest name. I can understand keeping the Wii branding to not alienate the millions of casual gamers that bought the Wii, but having said that, Wii 2 was much simpler and it keeps with their strategy since it sounds like you are actually saying "we too".
I'm glad to see third party support in the form of real games not shovelware though. The system design looks archaic (like an old external CD burner), and I am not sold on the controller.

The controller may have an interesting concept, but I know that I don't speak for just myself when I say controllers need to be able to take a hell of a lot of abuse and be at a reasonable price point. I still think the near $50 price range for 360 and PS3 controllers is high and I can at least chuck those at a wall and expect them to work. Also how in the hell can I play Assassin's Creed on a controller that has the mobility and comfort of a brick?

*sigh* another gimmicky Nintendo product, the sad part is the best thing theve done in recent years is the dual screen of the DS, yet everyone goes on about the touch screen which really does nothing new in 99% of the games.

Dont know why any serious gamers would bother with nintendo after the GC and Wii anyway, unless you REALLY want zelda/ninty stuff.

my thoughts exactly thank you for putting that so well

I would only get this for Paper Mario.

I hope the Nintendo guys read these forums. I don't think there is a single positive response in this page, and it could just be me, but I think that is saying something...

Were not soccer moms, children or old ladies so they dont care what we think.

wii.... on ... U?
