CNET: Wii U to be at CES

They will be showing the Wii U, they're not pulling out or anything unless they decide to bail last minute which I highly doubt. I have an appointment to see it, but it's the same stuff we've seen before.

Nintendo feeling that Microsoft heat

That folks is a very good thing. I'm going with the Wii U over the other systems because of Nintendo IPs as I only have time and money to devote to one home console going forward but I want Nintendo to feel the heat from Sony and Microsoft. I want them to give me reasons to stay with them instead and/or not also support the others as well with my money. Pressured Nintendo is the best Nintendo after all.

There won't be anything to see for the public. They'll probably show the console behind closed doors, so there's nothing to expect here.

The big RE-UNVEIL will be at E3 2012.

Welcome to 2005 Nintendo.


I just don't care for Nintendo any more...maybe if they were to put some games in iOS 5...

Please tell me this is some type of troll parody.

... Which is not actually what Iwata said, but rather how GAF interpreted it.

Wait, are they exhibiting, or just setting up their own press conference at the same time and place? Last time they exhibited at CES, they were showing off the N64.

If this is real floorspace and not behind closed doors, will it be the first time they've been at CES since the SNES days?

When the deal with Silicon Graphics was being worked on, Nintendo showed they knew a thing or two about 3D:

Followed by Star Fox Laser Show Unveiling a year later:

And finally the Ultra 64 tech:

The Wii U will be at CES. At behind closed door demos like the 3DS was last year.

Nintendo hasn't had a booth at CES since..... fuck knows.

But unlike 3DS, Nintendo hasn't even shown Wii U to press behind closed doors (anywhere in the world) since E3, AFAIK, so it would be very odd to bring it out again just to show the E3 demos again.

Probably best to err on the side of pessimism and figure that's what'll happen, though.
 
f-zero is deader than an earthbound captain rainbow heading to the startropics.

Nah it'll be back. They're just giving it the classic hiatus so people start to clamour for it, and said clamouring spreads amongst the previously disinterested and turns into hype (a la Kid Icarus)

I certainly think it'll be back anyway, futuristic hardcore arcade racer is too nice a genre proposition to leave out forever. It just won't be at CES is all :p
