The Wii System is to blame. I think they KNEW developers were going to be hindered by the motion sensing controls. They screwed up. They need to add OPTIONS for regular controls and motion sensing. Another thing to blame is lack of good hardware. We are in the Twenty First Century... everyone is using accelerometers, gyroscopes, and bluetooth fore controls (Even before the iPhone 4) and they went with INFRARED, if you look at a EM Radiation scale you will see that Infrared is a long wave... those are the EASIEST to block. That is why TV's are so devastatingly bad. Infrared Sensors are pushing twenty years old. The OG Wii should have been what the Wii U is sans the peripherals. Then on the side add in Motion Sensing gaming and Tablet Gaming. The real losers here are the developers.
Do you ever get tired of being wrong? The Wiimotes use bluetooth to connect to the Wii. What you see on the tip of the Wiimote is an infrared camera. It looks for two infrared lights and triangulates its position. Its used for the "pointer" function of the remote. (Fun fact: the included sensor bar is entirely optional. Want a cheap wireless solution? Place two candles near your TV.)

Most of the motion detection is handled by the built in accelerometers and gyroscopes. With the Motion+ controller/add-on, more gyros were added, offering more precision.

Oh, and the Wii U is compatible with the Wii accessories. That means regular controls are an option.

Just those?
Depends on what you're looking for. Those are the games that seem to be the most well liked by everyone.

Some other notable exclusives include:
Monster Hunter Tri
Kirby Epic Yarn
Punch-Out
No More Heros 1&2
Madworld
Super Paper Mario
Goldeneye
Red Steal 2
Excite Bots
Excite Trucks
Wario Ware Smooth Moves
Animal Crossing
House of the Dead:Overkill
Wii Sports Resort
Wii Fit

You can look up more.

They kinda gave up making good games after that, I blame the Wii U.
This comes out this winter:



Yeah, it's been since the holidays since there have been some good first party Nintendo titles, but that doesn't mean they stopped making 'em.

Did the original Wii have any good games BESIDES these?

Mario Kart Wii
SSBB
Mario Galaxy
Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Metroid Prime 3
Zelda: Twilight Princess

These are all some of the finest games ever made.

I'm thinking Metroid: Other M may have put Metroid on hold for a bit.

Apparently Wii U uses a variation of the CPU that powered the Jeopardy! bot Watson.

Which you could swap for the larger denomination.
And then sadly use it to pay more bills.

Is the goal here to give some web traffic to sites we hate? Seems counterintuitive.

It'd be even funnier if he sent the donation in $20 bills.
Either way, I'd still get $100.

It be funny if you do one for Benjamin.
If you'd like to send me a $100 donation, I'd gladly do it.

They showed it during the presentation. It was sitting next to the TV in all of the demo videos. It's even at all of the demo stations. You just didn't do your homework.

Besides, how in the heck could the current Wii pull off HD graphics? It's running what is essentially a 730 MHz G3 processor. In other words, it's a suped up iBook.

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.

HALO 4'S COMING!

OMFG!  :party
It's not being developed by Bungie, so don't expect things to feel the same.

I'm on Vita's side, but Wii U's putting up a BIG GAME.
Vita is a portable. Wii U is a home console. They aren't in direct competition. Vita's biggest competitors are the 3DS and the iOS platform.

Remember when Nintendo used to focus on making great games rather than shoving in more and more stupid gimmicks into everything they made...
Gaming has always been about gimmicks. Remember, when the Rumble Pack was introduced? It was a bulky controller attachment that came with Star Fox 64. Now, we take it for granted. Remember how much sh** Sony got when they released the Sixaxis without support for rumble?

The Wii U isn't even a new console...
No, the controller isn't a console. The console is a little white box that connects to the TV.

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.

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.
