a console with no games is useless. And it's been useless for me since last January.

Nintendo always seem to release products that end up being epic successes $$$... so who knows. I'll probably get one if some good games come out on it.

I can only imagine that mario party will be amazing on this.

My last Nintendo was the Gamecube, bought it to play Zelda Wind Waker, such a great game. But then the 360 came out in 2005 and I sticked with that ever since. Never got the Wii even though there are some games of it that I'd like to play.
I'm going to skip this one too, I'm looking forward to the NEXTBOX or whatever it's called.

Im with ETM. I was a diehard Nintendo fan since '85. Hunted down a wii after visiting like 8 stores on launch day, was happy and had fun for the first few months, but all these little niggling things started stacking up:
- the lack of nice HD
- the constant battery changing
- the cumbersome store
- the fucking nunchuck style controls
- etc etc.I finally got a PS3 a couple years after and was blown away at the graphics difference. I gotta say, as fun as a game is, it does make a difference when you have 2 systems side by side and one looks awesome and the controller is easier to hold, and all that.
I was dissilusioned with Nintendo, but bought a 3DS for my kid and its much of the same. Cheap gimmicky shit, poorly designed hardware, and an 'online store' that boasts maybe 3-4 good games, the rest being garbage. The 3DS was really the nail in the coffin for me.
Nintendo makes toys, thats it. Sad to admit it cuz i grew up loving them my whole life.. like over 20 years of having their back..

Lame. Its barely as powerful as a PS3 or 360 which are 6-7 years old now. Nintendo is for soccer moms and little babies now. Wake me up with the PS4 comes out.

Anyone have a link to any sort of qualification for the ‘20x more powerful than a Wii’ claim. Just curious to know what that actually means.

Virtually the same tech from 2006... I don't see any way this thing becomes a major commercial success. Especially with it's price point.
- Price is being announced in 45 minutes. Japanese price =/= American price.digitdaily
- Hmm thought I saw $340 USD or something like thatd_rek
- That was the conversion. Although it wasn't far off.digitdaily

I love the Mario and Zelda games so it's worth it for those alone, for me. However I do think it's probably time Nintendo gave up on consoles and focused on developing their superb games for the Xbox and PlayStation instead...

- It looks like a Nintendo DS game to me. Graphics not too hot.CygnusZero4
- Who cares about the graphics, the game looks fun.ernexbcn

I just remember being pumped about the Wii, struggling to get one during the shortages, then being on an endless downward slope of disappointment with virtually everything but maybe 5-6 games.
To the point I just disconnected it and shoved it in a drawer rather than have it clutter the entertainment area.Don't plan on doing that a second time. Don't plan on trying to find the tiniest fleck of gold amongst the shelves of shovel-ware either.
I do hope they can change my mind over time, but I doubt it.

Astounding that CoD does not look as good as the PS3, which is 7+ year old hardware.
- and yet the wii destroyed the ps3 in sales. There's no justice.futuremongolian
- Quality of games and game play will always trump hardware. Look at World of Warcraft.aaux

is the Wii U for kids the same way the Wii was? Adult games?
