To me an R740 would be impressive in the Wii U's case only if it was a straight desktop part, which it isn't, and when was that going to be the max?

Such a relief.
I wonder if I'd be able to switch between uPad #1 and uPad #2?
I play for ten hours with uPad #1, battery runs low, I plug-in (or DOCK! YES!) uPad #1, and grab uPad #2 for another 6-to-8 hours of gameplay before passing-out..
All money on:
the last hours before E3 opens the gates....whenever that will be.
What happens to Guelph?

Has it already been mentioned that the likely value proposition Nintendo is trying to make is that for less than the cost of an iPad, you can get your kid a full videogame system that plays the latest games, gets out of the way when you want to watch TV, AND a tablet for playing downloadable touch based and traditional games?
Sounds like a good pitch for the "parents with kids - especially kids who your iPad" market.

Fallout Toronto would be so goddamn glorious.
Well, considering the many times faster "blu ray" drive that they will use (compare to the ps3 one), perhaps the use of the flash (+ big memory pool) to fasten the loads + their wizardry & optimization for files recording and access, disc mastering and whatever to lower even more the loading & other things, i bet it won't be a problem. They have a reputation to maintain in this department
As long as the archntectural character is there to support such a title, I'm all about it!
(but don't get me ranting about North America's cookie-cutter manmade landscape.. haha..)
There are a number of fine places in North America's city cores, but Europe's are so old and have such rich historical context.
I guess tha's a save bet.
nintendo loves them short loading times but even yamauchis souls can't work against the laws of physic....at least i hope so.

Err, uhh..iunno lol.
Never been.
Fair enough...I guess I really just want to see the CN Tower in ruins.
At least I'm not the only one that thinks so (;
No, not launch day. Maybe a week later, but not launch day.

Shh, its what I'm planning to do. So it HAS to happen.
I just hope it eventually gets hacked so we can use the controller with PCs and other devices. From what I can gather about NiFi, it may require routers / WiFi cards with specially designed firmware. I don't know what would go into reverse-engineering the video codec, but that would obviously need to happen as well. I guess it's ultimately up to whether they have some crazy encryption going on. Another possibility would be using the USB port, assuming it's not just for charging.
I'd love a post-apocalyptic Fallout-like game in New Orleans.
The water pumps having no electricity have failed, and the ~75% of the city that's below sea level has limited access, much of it flooded. The remaining above-ground part of the city - home of the oldest, most historic buildings and landmarks, going back several hundred years - is essentially an island, and 98% of its inhabitants are dead or gone. Wldlife from the nearby swamp has begun to inherit-back what mankind once took, and the few humans that still live there are scavenging, farming, raising chickens, hunting, etc. But profiteer marauders from out of town want a piece of what's leftover..
It'll never happen. People are too damn sensitive, and there are plenty of bigger, better cities to use first.

That's bound to happen, no matter what.

Their "wizardry" is actually quite ingenious. They add the load times artificially to dev kits so that developers have to deal with them the same as players and work to shorten them.Well, considering the many times faster "blu ray" drive that they will use (compare to the ps3 one), perhaps the use of the flash (+ big memory pool) to fasten the loads + their wizardry & optimization for files recording and access, disc mastering and whatever to lower even more the loading & other things, i bet it won't be a problem.

I think a few weeks is going to be needed before one can walk into Best Buy and grab one off of the shelf. Especially if they let Reggie and the "Wii would like to play" geniuses go nuts with advertising.
The Wii's ad campaign has given me a healthy dose of confidence in NOA's abilities. I'm ready to see what they have cooked-up this time.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Wii would like to play.... With U.
Wii would like U to play...
The possibilities are endless!
Yeah i meant wizardry like that, ingenuity, cleverness, yadda yadda
And it's better for us, i hate loading times.IceDoesntHelp

Don't leave us hanging like that. This isn't the 1700's anymore, you can't just hang us at will.
Hopefully it doesn't require soldering anything, because no thanks.
There's no way they could "customize away" heat production without sacrifices, so that probably doesn't make as big of a difference as you think.
Shocking.
No, I'm really shocked. Just one thing? lol

I know that it is Sharp branded, but it has a built-in NES, so Nintendo did colaberate on the TV market before.
Whoa, that's crazy cool.
That's because the article is fiction. It's not just me saying that, the article says so itself.
Made a shoddy forum for the lurkers out there:

edit: Too lazy to also change "Winner" to "Wiinner".
edit²: changed my mind, no longer as lazy
edit³: and now it's slightly more like an ad

For a moment, where you wrote "GAF Username and Registration Date", I could have sworn it said "GAF Username and Password".

Some infos concerning the padlets
In a v4 dev kit context, with third-party involved, ports & titles using inhouse engines (not really tailored for the Wii U), the system hasn't the capacities to render 1 720p complex content on the TV, and 2 480p intricate scenes at the same time, with a good enough framerate. The "v5" dev kits won't change this situation. And i really don't think that with first-party, it will be a totally different outcome.
Now, 1 light 720p content (a ranking list, a 2D map, etc.) + 4 480 not ultra detailed with to-the-roof poly count titles, well, the hardware may handle that (i'm talking about rendering capabilities here, not streaming possibilities).
An obvious work-around would be to render at 240p with Vita-like upscaling.

I simply don't see any game coming out that uses more than two controller screens plus the TV.
Especially in thus day and age where local mutli is dying.

People under a certain age were never alive to experience the popularity of such joy. Well, not at the rate older folks did. It kinda blows my mind.
Dont worry after the forwever alone bit they will go...

We're becoming an isolated social society. It's a very interesting phenomena.
We're all communicating with eachother, but not really interacting.

Some day, it will be considered totally weird and dorky to invite friends over your house in general.
And in JAPAN men will have AR sex, like in that movie with Arnold being defrosted in the future, causing the Porn industry in Japan to colapse.
I'm a big, gigantic, huge fan of the single-player experience, but it is the direct human interaction that makes local multiplayer such a nice experience for me. The online anonymized experience isn't the least bit appealing.
And yet, one of the first thing I said when we moved to this new place was.. "finally! A place worthy of entertaining!
Out of touch.. I am soo..
