Quote:(Reuters) - Nintendo will launch a successor to its Wii game console in the U.S. and other key markets in time for the crucial year-end shopping season later this year, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told reporters on Thursday.

He said the WiiU would be launched in the United States, Europe, Australia and Japan for the year-end season.

Hopefully a mod chip/softmod comes out quick

They're renaming the Wii U so people don't get it confused with another controller for the Wii

I was gonna say, isn't wiiu just a fucking controller?

Meh

I can't wait to buy this and never play it.

Not buying. I got suckered into the Wii and never touch the lame ass thing after playing Twilight Princess and a MadWorld....

"We got great 3rd part developers on board!" Yep. So does my PC and PS3...

Totally buying. I go into Nintendo systems for one thing: Nintendo games. They are delicious.

I wont buy one till a Zelda game comes out... or its moddable

fucking shit the fucking board fucked up right here.

zelda is supposed to be a launch title.

there is video of link in 1080p out there.

i came.

Times are catching up with Pretendo. Just posted their worst 4th quarter. I have no faith in Nintendo and their rehashing/sequel fest console.

If Wii U flops, I guarantee they'll be a software maker and stick to handhelds.

Which if you had bothered to read the actual sources that all the doomsayers have been quoting, the majority of that loss is due to a fallen yen and slow 3ds sales, however with sales having picked up they expect to be back in the black by March.

Wii has sold damn near 100 million units, and the 3ds has shifted 15 million now. Nintendo are fine.

It's Nintendo. I'll skip buying it and just download it all, their shit isn't hard to emulate.

yeah, i read an article that seemed to be rather negative toward the N.

its just one down quarter. didnt apple have one recently?

the wii was such hot shit for like, two years after launch.

im excited to take a wii U controller and play HD zelda while pooping.

There is always this weird malice towards Nintendo from certain sectors, its weird. But yeah, i wouldn't count on emulating the Wii U since its rumoured to bd radeon 6000 series based.

the real question is will i be able to continue my dragon quest 10 adventure from the wii version on the wii-u version?

That was just a tech demo, not scenes from or teasers for a new game.
Will there be a Zelda game for Wii-U? Yes......
Was that it or will it be anytime soon? No....

there will be an original 3ds zelda soon. one that isn't hourglass/tracks style.

its not so much the gimmick as its the games, as already discussed.

mario galaxy 2 makes my top ten most fun games ever.

I don't normally play family-friendly games, if there's no blood or swearing then chances are I'm not interested.

Fuck any Wii game that requires the nun-chuck. that thing is beyond gay.

Eh, I won't buy it. Unless my son wants one.

Mario is fun but still the same shit over and over and Zelda is alright but I think there are more shitty Zelda games than good ones.

And thats about all. Nintendo sucks at everything else.

sooo. what's better about it? the only thing I use my Wii for is netflix in the bedroom.
