@Evil-Classic controllers are supported, Gamecube aren't. Backwards compatibillty to Gamecube won't exist on the new console for whatever reason, so it'd be kinda useless anyways. :/
... I really like touch screens, personally. Not so much motion control, I agree, because unless it had that motion plus thingy or whatever it was called, the game required the player to wave their arms around like some sort of retard. -.-

Well....yeah that's true. I can live with classic controllers. Also now that I think about it; I don't really play any gamecube games anymore so maybe it's not such a bad thing.

My main problem wasn't so much the motion but the motion on some games were bad. I really didn't like it for Mario Galaxy games; knowing sometimes I'm swinging the wii mote and the spin jump command doesn't come out.
Also my main concern is how well this touchscreen controller is going to work being that the Wii Motes weren't exactly the best; at least not to me.

Guess I know what to get for Christmas then.
Hopefully the launch titles are good and what happened to the 3DS doesn't happen.

Welp the US get it in time for xmas but assuming the EU release is later (which it usually is) we may not quite have it for then.
Fucked up again, Nintendo.

Planning to pick it up a while after launch with Darksiders 2. My biggest interest, though, is to see Retro Studio's new project.

Here's what the game box art design will basically look like:
And yes, Nintendo's confirmed the design as legit. Looks a little too much like the GameCube's box art design to me, but eh.

I'm going to buy the Wii U basicly because I'm a Wii owner... And I already have all the Wii stuff.... If I were to change brands it would be too expensive....
I hope it's good but I have a feeling it will fail basicly because today's market is dumb, they're just a bunch of shitheads with no good game design ideas.... So your giving them the ultimate Nintendo System and yet they're not going to take advantage of it...

I'm excited for New Super Mario Bros. U (it looks like it will be the best NSMB game yet), and that Rayman one looks interesting (I still need to play the older Rayman games, but I can't get them to work on an emulator), but I haven't seen anything else that I'd be all that interested in. Of course, there are some series that would be great to have on the Wii U...if they make a Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 (and they better), then I'll buy one no matter how much it costs, and although I know it's pretty hopeless, I'd love to see a Mega Man 11 or Mega Man X9. Super Mario Galaxy 3 is also a possibility, but considering I didn't like the first one (and haven't played the second because of that), that might not be terribly useful to me.

I'm not particularly looking forward to the Wii U. The new controller looks a little bulky (though a recent picture of Miyamoto holding it relives me partially) and unless they step up the motion detection, the motion is still going to be crappy. SSB4 will be a major loss for me, I don't have a 3DS and I'm not buying one anytime soon. I might get it just for the new Smash, though I had a Smash sabbatical at my friend's house in NC, and the new features aren't impressing me (though the focus on uniqueness of the characters is impressive.)
NSMB Wii U is going to be same old same old. I haven't played Skyward Sword that much, but I hated it and hope that the next one will be nothing like it. Zombie U isn't really my thing. I haven't really looked the next Rayman, though I love Origins. Kirby is meant for handhelds nowadays, and Star Fox won't get a reboot unless Nintendo wises up for once.
On the new features, I feel that Nintendo is trying to put hardcore gamer gimmicks under a friendly label. I don't really think that will work. I would rather get advice on the internet then talk to my friends about games they probably don't even have.
Oh well. If only they could pull off another Gamecube...

What.

What, how can you know anything about the new Smash Bros. if almost no details were revealed? That is, if you consider Sakurai saying "the project is running smoothly, there'll be new characters, Namco Bandai is a great company to work with when you are developing a fighting game, stfu Twitter guy" some sort relevant detail.
Originally posted by egaddKirby is meant for handhelds nowadays
Because Kirby surely doesn't originate from a handheld device, because everyone knows Kirby's Dreamland is for the SNES.

Yeah, because Nintendo's like, really dumb and never had anything innovative on the gaming industry. Ever.

Ahem

...Then they'd lose even more marketshare, would lose a lot of money, would become a software-only company like SEGA, and gaming would be doomed.

#1: Yes, the motion control is crappy, and I have first hand experience. Elebits, though a great game, barely functions due to the lack of decent motion detection.
#2: Maybe you missed something? Sakurai has revealed more then just who's making it.
#3: Yes he originated on the GB. No, no-one remembers it. Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star are much more recognizable. I found Squeak Squad much better then Epic Yarn imo.
#4: Nintendo has done plenty of good things throughout the years, but a lot of stupid things too. Examples include Nitpicking on Content, Cancelling Star Fox 2, Focusing a Console on Casual Gamers, Providing Luigi's Mansion with Launch (though I love Luigi's Mansion) and Trying to Adapt Hardcore Gaming Features to a Casual Console.
#5: Games aren't cheap, and I tend not to buy the biggest hits due to my desire for more alternative games.
#6: I actually liked the Gamecube. I feel like it had a lot of potential that was never used, and to tell the truth, the Wii is a Gamecube in a white case.
You might not realize it, but this is actually my opinion. If you are going to argue with it, I would suggest using less harsh reasons instead of meaningless sarcasm that has no proof behind it.

Improved with the Wii Motion Plus.
Not really. Most of it is just confirmation that some of the old characters are coming back.
Quote#3: Yes he originated on the GB. No, no-one remembers it. Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star are much more recognizable. I found Squeak Squad much better then Epic Yarn imo.
That is a complete lie. A lot of people remember the original Kirby Dream Land games. Besides, he has had equally great games on both handhelds and consoles.
Quote#4: Nintendo has done plenty of good things throughout the years, but a lot of stupid things too. Examples include Nitpicking on Content,
Examples?
QuoteCancelling Star Fox 2,
That was to boost sales of the N64 by making Star Fox 64.
QuoteFocusing a Console on Casual Gamers,
Which ultimately boosted sales and helped the Wii stay alive in the market.
QuoteProviding Luigi's Mansion with Launch (though I love Luigi's Mansion)
So do I. Nothing's wrong with packing a good title with your console.
Quoteand Trying to Adapt Hardcore Gaming Features to a Casual Console.
Not sure what you're getting at here. Please elaborate.
Quote#5: Games aren't cheap, and I tend not to buy the biggest hits due to my desire for more alternative games.
Wii games are $10 cheaper than other consoles when new. 3DS games are another $10 cheaper and DS games $5 less than that. New games are always going to be fairly high in price. This is nothing new.
Quote#6: I actually liked the Gamecube. I feel like it had a lot of potential that was never used, and to tell the truth, the Wii is a Gamecube in a white case.
While I like the Gamecube too, it had a miserable time competing with the Xbox and PS2, especially in the 3rd-Party department.
QuoteYou might not realize it, but this is actually my opinion. If you are going to argue with it, I would suggest using less harsh reasons instead of meaningless sarcasm that has no proof behind it.
See above. Enjoy.

#1: The Wii Motion Plus is still not as good as the Move imo. And half the time it doesn't even respond.
#2: Ah, seems like I was looking at the 3DS stuff. But to tell the truth, they're both one intricate program. I feel leveling up characters would ruin balance.
#3: I suppose this is a matter of view points, because you're most likely about 5-10 years older then me.
#4:
Maniac Mansion was torn to bits. Mortal Kombat sold less due to the removal of blood. Parts of Earthbound were removed (though not so many). I can't think of any others at the moment.
I actually felt that Star Fox 2 was better than 64.
It also ended up killing off the Wii earlier, while the PS3 and 360 are still going strong. It also removed most of the hardcore audience.
I know that it's a great game, it just confused people.
The Miiverse in general. If I'm playing a Wii, I don't want to talk to friends about trying to beat a game. I'd rather just look up a guide, in the slim chance I even have a problem. Nintendo will most likely censor half the stuff we say anyway.
#5:
Originally posted by DerpyNew games are always going to be fairly high in price. This is nothing new.
Exactly.
#6: Nintendo has always had struggles with third-party content much more so on the Wii and Gamecube. I'm talking more about the style. It was much more hardcore, allowed basic internet, had an gamepad instead of a Wiimote and was sort of the best of both worlds for hardcore and casual.

Actually, it seems to depend on the game wither Wii Motion Plus responds all the time. I have never had trouble with response in Skyward Sword, but I heard that Wii Sports Resort had trouble with that.
Quote#2: Ah, seems like I was looking at the 3DS stuff. But to tell the truth, they're both one intricate program. I feel leveling up characters would ruin balance.
This is sorta to everyone who says this: You won't know if the balance is ruined in a game until you have played it! Don't judge right now with only some info and no play experience!
Quote#3: I suppose this is a matter of view points, because you're most likely about 5-10 years older then me.
Well, truth be told, I don't think it essentially matters how much older he is than you. Kirby's Dream Land was a decent start for the hero, so it's remembered, and the second game was also I think about as good as Kirby's Adventure. And besides, if anyone wants to know about the history of Kirby, they are going to find out that Kirby started on the GB.
Quote#4:
Maniac Mansion was torn to bits. Mortal Kombat sold less due to the removal of blood. Parts of Earthbound were removed (though not so many). I can't think of any others at the moment.
Maniac Mansion was originally a PC game, so of course porting it to the SNES would make it bad, ultimately Mortal Kombat had little to do with Genesis getting the upper hand (at least in world wide sales), and the only thing that was censored in Earthbound (I think) was that Ness was no longer naked during the weird dream sequence before the return to the beginning of the game (which ultimately was the best change ever).
QuoteI actually felt that Star Fox 2 was better than 64.
It is unfortunate that they did cancel the game, however the N64 was struggling at the time, and having 64 be really great did boost sales.
QuoteIt also ended up killing off the Wii earlier, while the PS3 and 360 are still going strong. It also removed most of the hardcore audience.
Well, at least we got rid of the people who think that "graphicers must be awesomers and older games with there bad graphicers are bad!!!" That, and the Wii is dead yet (and besides, it gives Nintendo an advantage with releasing the Wii U: I've heard that Sony and Microsoft want to keep there consoles for at least TEN YEARS. Even if there new ones are more advance than the Wii U when they come out, the Wii U will have a HUGE headstart + devs will want to make more for it due to being used to the hardware.
QuoteThe Miiverse in general. If I'm playing a Wii, I don't want to talk to friends about trying to beat a game. I'd rather just look up a guide, in the slim chance I even have a problem. Nintendo will most likely censor half the stuff we say anyway.
Well, don't then. You can completely ignore that if you want, and Nintendo have said they will only censor any rude pics or messages.

I assume you meant to put than instead of and. Anyway, while it was hardcore, it never had the success of the Wii, the basic internet was used in 4 games (really, the only console during that era that actually used internet well was the Xbox), the Gamecube gamepad in my opinion isn't that great and can you actually name any casual games for Gamecube?
Anyway, sorry if I seem harsh, but this is a fairly interesting discussion I wanted to join in on and give my views on.
