Perfect.
 
Why are you all saying October? More like September confirmed. I mean it's still early August now.
It would give a new perspective on the launch window :)

A surprise october launch would be cool, but Micromania's french retail chain got a message saying Wii U games would arrive Nov 14th...
 
I think October is the latest.

I don't think they'll wait until November for this.

1)That's 4+ months away
2)They'll probably want to launch a month or two before Black Friday, so they can put together some bundles for it.

I have actually been pretending to myself that it will launch in october. This of course is solely based on the quite possibly erroneous release dates for some Wii U games on Amazon.
 
Anyone know/remember when Wii promotional stuff started appearing?
 
all Wii U threads to go to shit confirmed

--- it begins

With stupid, nonsensical comments like this:

"I don't think so. I expect the Wii U graphics to be easily on par with the next Xbox/PS4.

One technical area where Nintendo excel is loading times (something no-one mentions). The Wii loads games considerably faster than the current Xbox/PS3, and likewise with the DS compared to the PSP".


What do you expect?

That people show a level of self-control and just ignore them.
 
Since I'm not yet a ProGaf Grafix critic, and also more of a visual person, rather than verbal, can some one post a comparison picture of the expected difference between WiiU and 720/ps4 graphics?

Since we don't have concrete specs for any of them (why so secretive Nintendo?) it's all just speculation, but I believe a fair comparison would be to take the best looking game on the 360/PS3 and assume that as a baseline for AAA titles on the Wii U.

While the PS4/720 will be more on par with the best looking games currently on PC as baselines. (Battlefield 3, Witcher 2, etc.)

Well, we don't know exactly what 720/PS4 will look like. Although they're probably going to look like a high end PC at launch.

It's a silly comment but it takes two to start a console war. People should just learn to ignore some of the stuff they see on threads, or just link to the appropriate thread in order to have a discussion.

Anyways... YAY BLACK! My white wii sticks out like a sore thumb in my living room. I'm really glad we have an alternative.

How the hell can Nintendo be this far along into prepping things and not have a launch date and official price? Ridiculous.
 
Came across this in my local HMV (UK) this weekend, i was suprised to see it so soon. Sorry for crappy iphone cam.

I think you mean announced.

Fairly sure Nintendo has a price and date in mind.. had one in mind for most of the year already.

It's what they did with the Wii, the DS and the 3DS. They always announce the details in september, closer to the launch date. What is ridiculous is that people haven't figured the pattern out yet.

Are you kidding me? The later two were built on high end PCs while Pikmin 3 started as a Wii game. That is not even close to how the gap will look in the end. Hell there a bunch of PS3/360 games that look better than Pikmin 3 and we all know the Wii U is more powerful than them. Also, you're assuming Watch Dogs is going to be on the next gen consoles and Star Wars? The truth of the matter is there is no way to tell what the gap will look like as he wasn't even asking about launch
 
Pikmin 3 came out for the Wii?

You should let people know, I hear a lot of them have been wanting to play it.

It spent the majority of it's development period as a Wii game, doubt they bothered to start the game from the beginning again when they decided to make it a WiiU title.
