So Nintendo just announced their new console: The Wii U. With HD graphics and a touch screen pad on the controller. Thoughts? Personally I think it has a lot of potential but whether it lives up to it or not is something we don't know enough about yet. Here's the guardian's article on it: www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/jun/07/wii-u-nintendo-games-console Edit: Here's a trailer:

Its got a pretty good game lineup, and they even managed an agreement with EA. It seems really damn powerful too, possibly matching the ps3 and xbox in terms, which I was hoping for. So far, it looks awesome. I just hope the touch screen is gonna be put to good use.

I dunno, the Wii had potential itself, but never really was put through it's paces properly IMHO. Really hope the Wii U is and also... Let's see a DS adaption system so we can properly stream DS games nintendo!

I dunno, the Wii had potential itself, but never really was put through it's paces properly IMHO. That's why I said about whether the potential is used or not. Most of the really hardware-pusshing pushing-titles were Nintendo ones most (but not all Capcom seemed to be one exception) of the other developers seemed happy just to half-arse the games. Let's see a DS adaption system so we can properly stream DS games nintendo! I agree with this completely. Come to think of I wonder how recording the games will work with the TV screen and controller. Also how much will these controllers cost?

as for cost of controllers I'm sure we don't wanna know... Remember when Wiimotes were $30-$40? Figure that that's gonna be a drop in the bucket X(

Nintendo is royally screwed. If this new Wii U doesn't have any hard core games like CoD or GTA Nintendo are gonna go under. Great video game company it's just that the 3DS didn't actually sell that well and kids games don't sell as well as say Dead Rising or Street Fighter and props to Capcom cus they know how to milk a fighter. So this could be a make or break console for Nintendo. controllers gonna be weird getting used to it seems

meh, there are some of us that have no interest in COD or GTA, though the Wii was the perfect system for a good FPS and it never really got one other than prime 3

Fair enough, but all the same the console could do with some hardcore games to bring in more potential buyers other than parents looking for something to shut their kid up with... no wait that was the DS series

Well, so far Darksiders 2, Batman: Arkham City and Aliens: Colonial Marines are all lined up for the Wii U. Even battlefield 3 is slated up for release on it. I'd say those are fairly hardcore.

Are they? This might do well then, if Nintendo actually grew some balls and are putting those games on there good on them.

I hate to admit it, but the Wii U will shit all over ps3 and xbox360 graphically. It could see third party games being developed for the Wii U and crapily ported to us.
