[QUOTE] OSAKA, Japan | Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:36am EST (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, [URL="http://www.reuters.com/places/australia"]Australia[/URL] and Japan for the year-end season.

[video=youtube;4e3qaPg_keg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e3qaPg_keg[/video] and the zelda tech demo they always do for every new console [video=youtube;EpEPmOoxdCE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpEPmOoxdCE[/video]
This looks super promising, any word yet if steam will be the chosen network to be on the wii u?
Did they announce the price yet? Or is it too early?
hopefully it wont fail like the 3ds
The shape of the screen controller thingy looks kinda awkward to me.
A fucking tablet for a controller? This looks fun as hell.
Looks ugly and from a previous era of time.
That Zelda demo actually looks pretty impressive.
I can't wait to see what Nintendo does with this. Playing Zelda in HD sure would be sweet. Plus that controller looks like prime real estate for a full 3D Pokemon game.
i am very interrested in seeing what developers will use the controller for
[QUOTE=Lord_Schrotty;34396660]hopefully it wont fail like the 3ds[/QUOTE] The 3DS sold better than the DS did when it first came out, what the hell do you mean by fail? Did the original DS also "fail" then?
wiiu wiiu wiiu Besides the name, I like this
This might actually be a console that I'd want to get, can't complain over the graphics that's for sure.
[QUOTE=Moby-;34396961]Looks ugly and from a previous era of time.[/QUOTE] I don't think it looks ugly, but they [I]did[/I] say that it's look was supposed to be based on the SNES in looks (but obviously more modern) [editline]26th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=fruxodaily;34396619]This looks super promising, any word yet if steam will be the chosen network to be on the wii u?[/QUOTE] No news, just rumors like before
I was initially skeptical but this actually looks pretty cool. I'll probably get one
I love how Nintendo have really moved away from making gimmicky consoles.

Pikmin 3 and Super Smash Brothers 4, here I come.
Looks like a brick, how are you going to carry that thing around.
I'm curious about the launch titles.
Seeing how terrible the 3DS and Wii has been, no. I wont be getting this one. Imma keep tony good old PC
[QUOTE=Xperia;34397983]Looks like a brick, how are you going to carry that thing around.[/QUOTE] It's a home console, which part do you need to carry around?
[QUOTE=Red scout?;34398000]Seeing how terrible the 3DS and Wii has been, no. I wont be getting this one. Imma keep tony good old PC[/QUOTE]I would hardly call the 3DS a failure. Considering its been selling faster than the DS when it first came out. Its hardly a failure. Sure, it may have had a poor launch title line up, but just like the PS3 they are starting to crank out some quality titles. Star Fox 3D and Mario Kart 7 are very well made. Have you even tried playing one before criticizing it? Now that the rant is over. I'm interested to see what the Wii U will bring to the table. Can't say I like the idea of a controller with a touchscreen in it, but I also can't help but be interested. So we can almost guarantee a zelda game and I know SSB4 has been announced. Any other hot titles being made for the Wii U?

I would kill for an HD sequel to twilight princess
That spider fight somewhat remided me of the "Giant Enemy Crab". I thought he was gonna hit its weak point for massive damage.
Wii Ueeeeuuueeeuuueeeuuueeeuu
woo hoo more stuff i will never be able to afford
Lets hope it doesn't fall flat like a pancake for breakfast. I wouldn't want Nintendo to end up like Sega.
It looks like shit. Eh, I'll probably end up buying it. As always. Goddamn I have a weak will.
