Guess I better put a preorder in

 

[Roxas]

See this is why sometimes the new news = new thread rule can backfire badly. Lottttttta shit Wii U threads clogging up the forum at the mo.

 

[chertipros]

'cause they create a dumb, insular mob mentality where you cannot say anything negative.

But that is pretty much every thread about anything related to gaming's sacred cows.

 

[ASTROID2]

We really need a "All Wii U News Thread" thread. Like right now.

 

[DR2K]

Don't want children to cut themselves on those discs.

 

[Medalion]

Guess I better put a preorder in

Just so you can cancel it?

 

[jaxpunk]

Can you use the disc without having the TV on???

CAN YA

 

[Kevtones]

wtf OP, i was going to make an announcement thread about the announcement of this

 

[TheCongressman1]

Interesting I suppose.

Can you use the disc without having the TV on???

CAN YA

Yes.

 

[Canis lupus]

Any comparison pics with other type of discs?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Well shit. The Xbox 720 and PS4 never had a chance.

GG Nintendo.

 

[Mistle]

All jokes aside, I do actually like the sound of this haha

 

[chickdigger802]

I feel like people exaggerate how many Wii U threads there are. Do Wii U game threads count? I went back and there were 3 or 4 on the first page. I'm too lazy to count how many threads are on each page, but it looks like a lot compared to 3 or 4.

 

[Zomba13]

I think the people moaning about all the WiiU topics are worse than all the wiiU topics.
We can't have console megathreads anymore so new thread for new news and even little things like this (which is news to me) should get a new thread.

Don't worry, the next xbox and PS4 will have their share of topics about every little piece of info that gets released or leaked.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Better aerodynamics, spins faster, faster load times!

 

[The Main Event]

You people quit bitching. I like these kind of informations.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

This is nice. Shame about not having achievements though.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

This eases my concerns

lol

 

[Psychotext]

On a related note, how are the transfer speeds / seek times on the Wii U's drive? Do we know yet?

 

[Rubius]

So wait, The Wii U doesnt use Bluray? Pretty neat anti piracy device.

Meh. Its something I suppose. Its not of huge interest but its interesting none the less.
If rather pointless.

Am not sure how people can think a new console launch is clogging up the forum anyway but ah well.

 

[Croc]

Damn, there are some dense motherfuckers up in here.

 

[Chamber]

Just so you can cancel it?

Let's just cancel his preorder right now before he makes it.

 

[out0v0rder]

wow alot of you guys hate wii-u threads.

 

[that1dude24]

how difficult is it to scroll down (or even contract your rectus muscles) to avoid these threads, really? this talk about it "clogging the forums" is ridiculously asinine.

 

[Chittagong]

Watch people still cry about achievements despite this news.

 

[BocoDragon]

So wait, The Wii U doesnt use Bluray? Pretty neat anti piracy device.

Yeah I think it's a variation of what is essentially blu-ray tech, but its not a to-spec blu-ray. Wii was the same... it technically wasn't a DVD but a proprietary Nintendo disc.

 

[frankie_baby]

So wait, The Wii U doesnt use Bluray? Pretty neat anti piracy device.

Its blu ray in all but name and disc edges

 

[Baconsammy]

Do bluray movies slide off the rounded edges? Is that why I can't watch my movies on the Wii U? Damn you, technology.

 

[grimshawish]

Stealin our gamez and clogging up our forumz!

[CambriaRising]

Shocking News: Wii U discs have data stored on them

Make a new thread for that.

 

[Medalion]

[Drago]

Shocking News: Wii U discs have data stored on them

I'll make the thread

Edit: CambriaRising beat me to the punch

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Make a new thread for that.

The Wii-U also plays video games.

New thread time!

 

[test_account]

Not really anything useful, but i like the different detail on the discs

 

[Huff]

Yeah, they're gonna sue over the optical media that they also refuse to give consumers, who are just begging for it.

the joke was about rounded edges

 

[Medalion]

The Wii-U also plays video games.

Bullshit, since when?

 

[sphinx]

OT could have done a better job by adding the line

"please discuss about how this revelation has changed your life"

lol

 

[shadyspace]

I wish Nintendo would sell a blu-ray license on the eShop

 

[lockload]

Im not sure if the guy writing the article is being serious or not, if he is then WOW

 

[Dead Prince]

dorfdad lives on

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Bullshit, since when?

Just announced!

If there were a new thread, you'd have known already.

/nods sagely

 

[RaffAO]

Lol it still has discs in 2012

 

[TheChits]

The Wii-U also plays video games.

New thread time!

Without achievements you can't play the games. No games on Wii U

 

[KojiKnight]

So... do Wii U ports of PS360 games instantly get better review scores because of this...?

 

[ubercheez]

The Wii-U also plays video games.

New thread time!

Can the new thread have rounded edges?

 

[Tagg9]

Wait what? What discs don't have rounded edges?

Can someone post a comparison?...
