Very good if true. Some entertainment stuff should be there from the get go.
Remember: in the E3 2011 video reel you could send a video to the TV by wiping it on the DRC. This could be used with the YouTube app.

I'm not too bothered about youtube on Wii U as my tv does that in HD anyway...but it would certainly be nice to see Nintendo get their act together in regards to other streaming video/tv channels (and they need to relax their policy of not allowing commercial channels...there's a bunch of stuff they are missing out on due to that).
I'd be more interested in a youtube for the 3DS at this stage due to the vast amount of free 3D content they have.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
How interesting would it be if Wii U had built in functionality that would let gamers record segments of the game as they play, saved it, allowed the player to go back in later and do basic edits, annotate it... and then let them publish their clip to YouTube with a push of a button?
This feature would be up to the discretion of the game's publisher, of course, due to copyright considerations.
If this is indeed true, could it explain why so much RAM is reportedly reserved for the OS?

Heh I bugged them about that through their support form a few weeks back, suggested partnering up with YouTube or Vimeo to handle hosting and stuff to watch previous content. And they actually reply to that crap!

This would be awesome but I don't think it's very likely.

Yes, you can be the first one to sign up. PM me your username and and an email you want your Bingo cards sent to. I will be sending them out Saturday late-afternoon.
What? I just thought it was a regular ban. Well life goes on I suppose.
This man knows what's up.
There are so many wars in history it's a shame they only focus on WW2 or the modern day/ I'm not saying Retro should work on a war game, just whoever does should look at a history book for once.
I go into stores and destroy every copy to prevent people from buying them. The shopkeepers don't mind since they make more money from the insurance than they would from selling the games.
This is obviously a joke.
Targeting the hipster market I see.

Wii U should be 3D capable. Will it be used? Thats another question. Iwata and crew admitted the Gamecube was 3D ready but obviously never happened.
Technically, the Wii U should be capable of glasses-free 3D; have one camera view on the TV, one on the controller, then just hold the controller up so that the TV and controller screen look the same size before crossing your eyes.
Its far easier to create a harness to place two Upads just in front of your eyes. If its not announced at E3, I will be shocked.
All hardware is 3D capable depending on the type of tech they want to use (even the NES).
I'm hoping we may see some of the 3rd party ports getting a 3D mode at least. Although I'm doubtful we'll we'll see much (if anything) from Nintendo themselves....which would be a shame as stuff like Pikmin 3 or The Japanese garden game could really shine with a 3D mode.

Now that you call it a game what if Nintendo made some sort of harvest moon/viva pinata type game based of that with the realistic visuals and all...would be so boss.
goddamn...
It was such a huge risk...I remember the gloom and doom predictions when it was revealed the Wii was actually a Gamecube in disguise.
Ha, that G4 thing is horriffic.
And Rhinox was evil in Beast Wars... for about one episode

Skipping out on proper shaders is the most amazing thing. The leap in visual quality they offer is incredible. Even looking at low geometry poor texture games on the 3DS, shaders do a world of good.
So some developers doesn't want to develop for wiiu because it's difficult to develop for?

Wait, wasn't the PS3 harder to develop for and yet SOMEHOW Sony is able to manage getting third party support?

It's only difficult because developers are getting their receptionists to make the WiiU games

You don't know what these "complexities" possibly entail. Hold your horses.
Maybe it's difficulties with the tablet controller, maybe it's hardware bottlenecks, maybe it's typical developer laziness, maybe it's the allure of the other, easier to work with next-generation consoles.

Hey now, moving the map from the bottom right corner of a screen to a seperate screen is simply too much to ask of many Western devs. Cut them some slack man.

I'll be mad at this industry if Nintendo is truly trying hard to get support and the Wii U is in the ballpark of at least one other console, and still people turn up their noses at them. That's a big hypothetical, maybe, but... Come on now.
Slight correction, main memory bandwidth for Wii should be double the number listed as both the 24mb and 64mb memory pools have there own bus with 3.88gb bandwidth each.
I know they weren't your numbers, just FYI.

Man, I just lost a few brain cells in that thread. Fanboys calling other people fanboys, DSes now being called tablets, and all that junk. The fact that they didn't even consider the article as an "IGN article" in order to surmount fanboy ammunition boggles my mind.
I mean, sure, fanboy wars aren't serious business - but logic and ignorance are being raped and that's horrible.

I'd want to give a piece of my mind there but then I realized how pointless it will be.

Nintendo's body is well and truly ready for HD, but it seems like we might have to get used to some Nintendo games that aren't 60 fps on the WiiU.. Unless the WiiU packs a bigger horsepower punch than expected
that would have labeled you a fanboy....
Boss Doggie

Yeah sadly.
Granted there are fanboy posts there, but at the same time anything that compromises the argument is also fanboyish.
I mean, I'm surprised people are actually agreeing with a statement made by "anonymous developers" over those with names. This is pretty much IGN-level of chart trolling.
Zelda probably won't be 60 FPS, but in my opinion 60 FPS isn't necessary for its kind of gameplay.
Mario and all the other "art style over polygon-texture-and-shader-madness" games from Nintendo will be 60 FPS I think.
Plenty of people making good arguments for either side in there. No need for these passive and defeatist comments.
Just because this thread constantly surrounds you with like-minded individuals, that does not make your opinion "more right".
man, this thread really steals my sleep, it is 4 am here in Germany. I#m going to bed now, then when I wake up E3 is a couple hours nearer
But the Hype building is nice
I'm getting a little bit the same. It has been a long time since I looked forward to an E3 and I suppose a full unveil of a new console from Nintendo tends to increase the anticipation to a new level.
Despite these threads moving very quickly, most people tend to be rather sane about the discussion and it reminds me a little bit of early GAF.

It's true though, that there have been level headed posts being accused of fanboys or that a sentiment of level-headedness will be bludgeoned with the idea that you are a fanboy. One user there pretty much gives me that implication, especially after checking his post history. Hell, I'd report that person if there's a mod out now.
Most of Nintendo's top tier games are 60FPS on much weaker hardware. There's no reason not to expect the same from their Wii U games.
Not wiiu but still interesting to post it here i think because of the small information we receive today.
A patent from Nintendo reveals a new way to control the 3DS?
It looks like the gears are moving in the minds of the Nintendo developers. A new patent was recently filed to create a new input method on the 3DS. What is so special about a new input method, you ask? It does not require any sort of physical contact with the 3DS at all!
The input method will allow the player to manipulate the top screen, yes the top screen, with a stylus. The stylus will sport a type of “marker” that the inward facing camera can detect. The camera will then calculate the marker’s position and use that information to cause a reaction on the screen. A very awesome feature is that the player can manipulate where an object is located within the 3D screen by simply moving the marker closer or further from the screen. It also seems that the exterior camera will be getting the same treatment, which is perfect for games using Augmented reality.
