What your going to get, is HD collections to make bank like Sony did. Get ready for the Super Mario Galaxy HD collection featuring Galaxy 1 and 2 upscaled to 720p and added AA. And of course, the Zelda HD collection with Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and (hopefully) Wind Waker.
Wrong. Nintendo is a software company and Nintendo eshop sells software. It's called Wu-Ware.

There's your winner.
Nintendo is going to make a shit ton of money of "HD Classics" releases. They'll probably be download only, just to push the margin through the roof.
I don't think symmetry is the issue here. Non symmetrical is fine as long as it's balanced. The reason the console looks odd is that the Wii U logo on the right is too simple to offset the visually busy power button and light on the left. If the blank space between sync and power was removed it'd look a bit better.
I'm ok with this. I mean, they're going to be made as well as OoT 3D was right?RIGHT!?
I don't think so. OoT 3D is a remake, not a remaster. HD Collections are basically remasters, the same game but updated. Remakes are different.
Maybe they'll be Remasters made with love?
Wii U will only receive Remasters without love CONFIRMED. #Nintendoom
Wait... So the Wii remotes won't work at all? Or did they just mean the non-motion+ remotes?http://www.examiner.com/article/wii...ils-rayman-nintendoland-mario-u-project-p-100

Are there any more I missed? I know there are a few sport collection titles I decided to skip (kinda biased towards sports games I guess). After making this list, I don't see why people are so angry about the Wii U launch, I mean we have two Nintendo core titles: New Super Mario Bros. Wii U and Pikmin 3, the latter of which fans have been asking for for a while; a new Nintendo IP from one of the best new developers (Project P-100), and an exclusive "core" title from Ubisoft, Rayman Legends. Nintendo Land might even come with the Wii U (hopefully). I'm definitely planning on getting a Wii U this year (five or so games is gonna last me a while, and I really just plan on getting Pikmin 3 and Project P-100). I also haven't played Arkham City and Mass Effect 3, so I could also get those if I wanted.
“The development team and Sakaguchi-san are looking forward to making more, especially for the Wii U because it has another [screen] right in front of you that will add another level of strategic elements into the action-RPG. So we are really looking forward to it, but we haven’t really planned anything.”
"Also, for those who did not know, one of the Nintendo representatives that were on hand said the old Wii controllers will not be usable on Wii U. They look and play the exact same, but they are not compatible with the Wii U system."http://www.examiner.com/article/wii...ils-rayman-nintendoland-mario-u-project-p-100

Don't think so.I'm guessing that means Wii controllers without Wii Motion Plus?
Another new OT?
So, question, everyone:
To all you launch day-buyers - will you be buying one IN STORE or get it from amazon, etc?

I suppose they should try to make Wii Remote+ the new standard, but this seriously puts a damper on my New Super Mario Bros. U plans. I only have one Wii Remote+ and one Wii MotionPlus.
Edit: Oh, is this for all Wii Remotes in general? I thought it meant the original Wii Remotes.
It can do 6 channel (/5.1) PCM surround sound over HDMI. It's PCM because I imagine they don't want to pay the DD or DTS license fee (or whatever).
I might be wrong re the DD/DTS thing, but it can do 5.1 over HDMI. I don't think it can do optical out.
They probably meant GCN controllers.
Don't think so.
Has there really been nothing on remade/rebranded Wii controllers? Makes little sense to have Wii-branded controllers on the Wii U. Aesthetics change, don't they?
Well that is the crux of my problem...The install base of people with HDMI switching receivers is like probably a few percent while just about everyone who has a home stereo purchased in the last 10-15 years has some form of S/PDIF connector. All to save Nintendo a few bucks on a licensing fee and 20 cents of hardware lol.
For a lot of people you plug your HDMI cable from your console into your TV and thats it. Most TVs aren't equipped to handle 5.1 sound. So I suspect that most of the WiiU userbase will be 2.0 stereo. Thats a shame. I am not so rich that I would upgrade my stereo but I love surround in games.
There is positively no way Wii controllers wont be compatible with the Wii U.
Makes sense. I feel embarrassed for believing that quote ;_;We already know that Wii motion plus controllers work on WiiU games, it has been live demo'ed.
He prob means regualr Wii motes dont work on WiiU games, but WiiU is BC so they will work with Wii games, or they dont know what they are talking about and are wrong.
Yup.
I'm sure it is more like this...
Wii games on the Wii U will be compatible with "Normal" Wiimote, and their previous compatible controllers.
However, Wii U games will not be compatible with the "Normal" Wiimote, instead only WiimotePlus can be used.
So... you cannot use the "Normal" Wiimote for the game of Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed for Wii U. You will have to use the WiimotePlus (Or, normal Wiimote with WiiMotion Plus).
