CNET: Wii U to be at CES
- Thread starter [Nintex]
- Start date
Speaking of Wii U looking disappointing, I'm pretty sure the Wii U wasn't even supposed to be revealed at E3 last year, but they felt they had to because of the rumours and leaks.
At least that would explain why the presentation felt rushed.
And they STILL went silent about the Wii for 8-9 months after the Wiimote reveal. My point still stands.

I'm 27 and still play my Wii games more than anything other than PC (they're about 50/50). I turned my 360 on for the first time in like 6 months for the update, and my PS3 is a Dark Souls/Netflix machine. So no, it really doesn't have a lot to do with it.
Seriously. This whining and crying is dumb.
You're obviously just two 9 yr stacked posing as an adult.
But it's Nintendo. So OBVIOUSLY this can only means bad things.

It would be nice if we see something, but if not, I'll be watching E3 just the same.
Who's whining and crying?
Like I said, I'm not super hyped for Wii U after what I saw at E3 2011. I'm not an avid poster in the Wii U thread, I don't go to sleep every night thinking about Nintendo's new console. I'm just trying to make sense out of this. Why can't they show something new at CES? Is E3 that sacred to them? Microsoft unvealed the 360 at some random MTV event lol.
It's just how they roll. E3 is the place where it will get the most attention, that's it.

So the fact that Nintendo has done this before makes the "because this is Nintendo" argument invalid... how exactly? If anything that strengthens that statement that Nintendo makes wild, questionable decisions all the time.
I was arguing about the fact that Anth0ny makes it sound like the silence is a bad thing "because it's Nintendo".
To me, it sounded like "if it was anybody else, I wouldn't mind, but since it's Nintendo, then it makes it a bad thing."
(Apologies if that wasn't what you meant.)

...Really? You must have really low expectations that a repeat of the E3 demos gives you enjoyment... That is... if you know about the BAD NEWS.

Because you're posting in it? I keed I keed come here you *hugs*

The early rumors of the Wii U pointed towards a major feature being withheld from the public. The fact that Nintendo still isn't tipping their hand makes me wonder if there isn't some truth to that rumor.
No idea what it could be though.

They said the same thing about the wii, and what did that feature turn out to be?
Yeah this feels like "one last secret feature" all over again.
Except he wasn't.

That scenario seems plausible if you look at E3 alone and the reports of last-minute changes to their showing (Darksiders 2 devs, etc.). But considering that the very first Wii U rumor reported confirmation from multiple sources that it would be at E3, it doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

That's what I was wondering all along, that one secret ace in the hole that was rumored at the onset. I wonder if that's what's being demoed

I for one appreciate the pre-emptive hype train derailing.

Or...
You know, it's just Nintendo being Nintendo and not wanting to show anything substantial before they have to.
Why would anyone need to lower their expectations? People shouldn't have expected Nintendo to compete with Sony/MS from the start. They promised an HD nintendo system with competent specs and that's what they'll be providing. They never promised bleeding edge so no one should have their expectations as such.
To assume nothing has changed is an asinine statement. If was painstakingly obvious that the console was not ready to be unveiled at that time and was in an early stage of development. Nintendo has stated that e3 12 will be a re-unvieling, so it would only make sense to look at that for your final decision on the console when it comes as opposed to a behind closed doors press even where Nintendo specifically stated that they will only be showing the console for those who did not get to see it at e3 11 in order for them to better understand the concept and philosophy behind this new system.
