Hardcore games on a Ninty console! <3
Being able to switch screens if someone wants to watch TV and just play on the controller! <3
Web browsing! <3
The stuff it can do in regards to sports games (eg you can actually catch a ball)! <3

I'm loving it already, not gonna lie.

Did they say when the release date would be?

cephalopod · « **Reply #24 on:** June 07, 2011, 04:34:32 PM »

2012. That seems to be all. Presumably late, possibly Q3 or 4, I reckon.

I actually thought the Wii U was just the tablet thing. Now it's a new console, I'm having my doubts. Anyone have a price or price estimate?

It's a home console that developers say is "significantly" more powerful than the current HD consoles. The tablet just streams video wirelessly from the home console. It's not actually doing any of the processing.

It's over a year away from release, so no prices are being announced. I'd expect around $300-$350.

Eh, Playstation Vita's got me. Over 40 games at launch plus HD remakes of PSP games for free!? AWWWW YEAAAAAA

Do you live and breathe misinformation? Sony hasn't yet revealed the launch lineup for the Vita. In fact, from their own website:
Q: How many software titles will be available at launch (in the new game medium/download for each region)?
A: We will announce details at a later date.

And where did you get that HD Remakes will be free? I have yet to see a source that states this.

Hope it will include the physics engine for the wwe SvR and 2012 games that were on PS3 and XBOX360. I want to be able to push a ladder over with a superstar on it through 2 or 4 tables outside the ring. I can't do that with the current Wii.

Edit: 1500 posts *yay*

I'm the only one that sees the capabilities as a hacking platform?

The tablet doesn't really do any processing, so it would make a terrible hacked tablet computer. Since it probably relies on bluetooth, though, it can likely be made to function in some capacity with a PC.

exactly

I read the first 2 replies, then I saw something about a 3ds Smash Bros., and my head imploded.

But seriously, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Meh, no, the only piece of hardware I'm gonna buy any time soon is an open pandora.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #34 on:** June 08, 2011, 05:23:08 AM »

The major drawback to me will be the price. Seriously, it's not a console with a screen on the control, it's a portable that needs extra equipment :/

EDIT: Oh my god, it's the effing Dreamcast!

Except it doesn't operate outside of the wireless range to the console, and the console is (rumored to be) more powerful than the current HD consoles.

I think this should interest you.
(Take note that the thing they use to build it aren't proprietary)

Most of the new "big games" for the Wii U (like Mario, Zelda) will be the same thing as the ones on the Wii.
