Everything is HD nowadays, even people's phones. Nintendo is six years late to that party. Good luck using that as the hook.
Its graphics are only improved over the wii. Otherwise they are inferior to the competition.
It does not have blu ray or DVD or anything of that nature.
Consumers don't judge features relative to competition from seven years ago. They judge them based on whatever else is available to buy now. Everything about the system's online is complete ass.

Nintendo games are the incentive.
I know it sounds stupid but it makes more sense to think "Can't wait to play the next Smash Bros in HD!" than "I can't wait to play the port of a PS360 Game!"
Everything?

a good point, very true
Wow... seriously?
Nintendo games will look impressive since they have unique art styles and they will be in HD for the very first time but come on.
That more than likely has to do with the art style of the game instead of "tech".

If that's the case, then the system will be dead in four years just like the Wii, and this time it may not sell like gangbusters either.

Time to abandon ship. Nothing but mudslinging in here.

Sure. Even my old SD TV is HD these days.
Wow so saying someone doesn't have an eye for graphics is wrong now? I've seen that line a thousand times and never considered it offensive or an insult. If I knew people were that sensitive, I wouldn't have said it.
I don't need to scrutinize anything to tell the Wii-U version does not look better.
I don't know but if it just means Wii U is going to end up like Gamecube, I'm OK with that. Gamecube was amazing and featured some of Nintendo's greatest games, as well as some of their most truly audacious productions relative to the competition at the time. If Wii U coming from behind motivates Nintendo back to making games like that, I'm all-in. Wii had only one or two games like that from Nintendo, and they all had Mario in the title.
<3 Gamecube
But you can't say it's inferior, there are third party games that look better on Wii U then the PS3/360, dramatically? No but better.
The Wii technically was DVD it just didn't play DVD movies.
The Wii U is technically Blu-Ray but it doesn't play the movies.
And how would you know the online is "complete ass" do you have a Wii U?

Such as?
And really, you think that's a good marketing hook? "This here system is equipped with Bluray! Of course it doesn't play Bluray movies, but who cares?"
It's not an opinion though. We have demonstrable technical analysis that are supported by facts which show it is not true!
Saying "I prefer the art style" of a game is opinion. Saying "Wii U Call of Duty looks better" is not an opinion; it's just wrong. It's like saying the sun is cold.

Yup. Back when I still loved Nintendo.
It even had some amazing 3rd party stuff like Sphinx, and the hallowed Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. :bow

'We're using BD-derived technology but you can't actually watch BD movies' isn't a particularly impressive marketing bullet point though.
you know I never played Sphinx but heard good things about it. Backlog worthy?
Baten Kaitos 1/2
Beyond Good & Evil
Chibi-Robo!
Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (seriously one of the only time a gimmick actually worked)
Eternal Darkness
F-Zero GX (greatest racing game of all time)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (I'm not your bucket bitch, bitch!)
Fire Emblem
Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Ikaruga
Killer7
Mega Man Anniversary Collection/Mega Man X Collection
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime II
Odama (ditto as above. Seems strange: When they're not FOCUSING on gimmicks, they can manage to make them work)
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door (one of the greatest RPGs of all time)
Pikmin 1
Pikmin 2 (one of the top ten games of all time)
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil Remake (Crimson Zombies FUCK YOOOU. Last great classic RE game)
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Soul Calibur II: Link Edition
Super Mario Sunshine (I understand people are divided on this, but I loved the focused thematic and the gameplay was as good as ever: Mario's acrobatics were amazing when amplified by F.L.U.D.)
Super Monkey Ball I/II (the only good SMB games these days)
Super Smash Bros. Melee (I hate these games, but I suspect if I didn't include it someone might stab me in the eye)
Tales of Symphonia
Timesplitters
Viewtiful Joe 1/2
Wave Race: Blue Storm
Zelda: Four Swords Adventure
Zelda: Twilight Princess (definitive edition)
Zelda: Wind Waker (still the most beautiful Zelda game and one of the only games from this gen that STILL holds up visually)

I would still play that game if it wasn't for the fact that MP required GBAs with link cables.

A lot of people fall back on the old "It's my opinion, so I can't be wrong" line when they can't back up their original claims with any facts. There is no technical evidence available to back up your claim that the WiiU version of BLOPS 2 is doing anything better than the 360 version.

I'd say so. Great Zelda run.
And wow at the list of amazing.
<3 GameCube. Back when Nintendo loved tech.

Yep. I loved Marioblade...
Wait, what?
The GC was one of the best systems ever, but there's a reason Nintendo went away from that route and that's because NONE OF YOU BASTARDS BROUGHT IT!!
Sonic, Trine 2, Puddle, Aliens Colonial Maries is confirmed to be the best looking version, and possibly others I missed.
But I proved my point, it does have Blu Ray.
I said, on the first page, my buddy notices the screen tearing on his 360 version. To this, a poster noted that HE needed glasses (that's funny).

No, it doesn't. Stop spinning nonsense.
I haven't played Xenoblade yet, since I sold my Wii RIGHT before Nintendo announced it. But I have a copy and when I connect the Wii U my fiancee got for my birthday, it will be the first game I play above even "Zombie U."
That said, even if it turns out well (I've heard conflicting things from people I trust), it wouldn't alter my point much if at all
Edit: And I purchased a Gamecube on day one and supported it extensively throughout that generation! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS!
well, more like Blue Rey.
if i'm sitting at the couch then why is it so hard to plug in a charge cable while I'm playing? also when I'm sitting on the couch playing on the gamepad and watching tv I don't really need to take the gamepad out of the house.
when you say the screen is mediocre I assume this is based on your own experience with the device for different games and not just based on specs you read online?
Because Microsoft is awesome.
I'm not spinning anything, it doesn't play the movies but it does have 25gb like Blu Ray, and it's proprietary, the Wii disks were technically DVD disks without the movie feature.

Kudos to CNN for asking some great relevant questions regarding the console, it actually felt informed, which is rare for video game coverage from them.
I think Reggie, on the other hand, really mishandled the interview and came off way too much like a PR machine. Flat, rehearsed answers (and one major misleading answer) just made it feel a bit soulless. Not a great word to use, but when your answers sound like they're being generated from a press release, it hardly gives the audience an impression that what you're trying to sell is supposed to be fun.

You haven't played Xenoblade yet? THE FUCK AMI!? Was it you or Ducky who loved FF XII, cause Xeno is like that on steroids.I haven't played Xenoblade yet, since I sold my Wii RIGHT before Nintendo announced it.

Don't worry, I know Ami. Your love for the GC is why I could never hate you.Amir0x said:

The incentive with the WiiU is the second screen. The entire second screen experience is about to quickly become a big deal.
As it was already pointed out by Amir0x, it's not an opinion. He's either making things up or is sorely mistaken. If he wasn't saying this in support of a Nintendo console, I doubt you would defend him, and that in itself is wrong IMO.
Yeah, like making up hyperbolic bullshit about your console of choice. It goes both ways here. As much as people here are trolling the Wii-U, there as many Nintendo fans who are spewing garbage.
There:
Now you have the shiniest one!
So awesome. Thanks for this!
