Some gaming site called gamemasters did an early review of Nintendo Land and Super Mario Bros U.
They gave Nintendo Land an 86/100 and Super Mario Bros U an 82/100. Not sure how accurate their reviews are though. Is anyone else getting a Wii U? Only 7 more days |

The Wii U is going to be about 50%more powerful than the 360 and ps3 or more if anyone was curious. Once the big titles hit you'll be able to tell the difference. A lot of false statements have been going around that the Wii U will be as powerful as the ps3, and that's a lie. It's a lot more powerful

Sorry bud but I don't think you get how smart Nintendo's strategy is 1) Bring out a console with new gimmicks for 50-100 dollars more than the current gen consoles, early adopters will buy it and have an orgasm when they see Samus in HD 2) The new PS4 and Xbox 720 comes out, Nintendo can now lower the price of the Wii U further and grab onto the laggards, not to mention the game library will be more established by then. 3) Nintendo is a family first console, The world reproduces at an incredible rate and when you need to get away from your kids and you do not want them seeing violence or sex, they will opt for good ol' Mario and his pals which are staples in the Rated E for everyone department Nintendo = Console version of Disney nuff said this is all speculation but look at how well the Wii did with sub par hardware.

Lol how is it a rip off?? You get a tablet, and a console for $300-$350.. Microsoft is trying to compete by claiming tablet support for the 720 but you have to buy the Microsoft tablet, and not to mention you might as well go out and buy a 3d tv while you're at it because 3d support is going to be a big thing with the 720 and ps4 and we might as well anticipate a $70 price tag on new games. So if they can sell a next gen console for that cheap, why the hell are people buying them for $250-300 when they can get a brand new console that can run UE4 for $50 bucks more? But hey, you might be right, but I know that I can't afford all the stuff I would need to buy to really make it next gen so I'll pass for right now but I'm sure I'll pick one of the two up eventually. I still think the Wii U is going to surprise a lot of people and I think the Wii U will sell better in the long run. Just wait till they announce the next Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid Prime, and Mario Galaxy. |

That's a ripoff. Everyone is speculating a $300-$350 PS4 and 720. Especially since Sony is ditching the Cell going with an off the shelf video solution. Sony and Microsoft are going with Bluray, which is fairly inexpensive now that it is mainstream, which will significantly drive down the cost. If the industry is correct, Nintendo has a major problem on their hands. Nintendo has always been known for coming in at a good price point. $300-$350 for a max of 32GB ain't gonna cut it. Especially since the ipad is only slightly more expensive than this thing.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing you'll have to be within a certain distance from the Wii U but I may be wrong. It really is cool when you play games because instead of pausing the game to switch weapon, look at a map, etc you just look at the game pad. I know you can play games on the game pad itself while someone is watching the tv, you can also surf the web and get on Netflix while someone is watching tv and you can use it as a tv remote ha. |

imo I don't see myself paying 300$+ for a system with a bunch of games that are essentially remakes of games I already have on my Wii, both discs and virtual console, even though Nintendo classics/series>
also side-scrolling Mario in HD is kinda pointless

It's a tablet controller. It comes with the Wii U, and it acts as a second screen when you play games. I would post more pics and info but I'm on my phone |

$300 for the standard which just comes with an 8 GB Wii U and a game pad $349.99 for the deluxe bundle which comes with a 32 GB Wii U, game pad, charging dock, stands, and Nintendo Land. So deluxe is definitely the best option since you get a game and 5 times the storage space Also nintendo is releasing the Wii U pro controller for us hardcore gamers ha. |

@cs
The $300 price tag is super cheap for a new console. When the ps3 launched it had a $600 tag, imagine what the 720 and ps4 will cost. Plus with the Wii U you get a tablet. We're talking about something that would cost hundreds easily if Sony or Microsoft made it and you get one with the console. Yes it's not a tablet like the iPad but it's still a tablet that looks cool as hell ha. Nintendo is smart because it's looking like they are also anticipating the inevitable rise of tablet gaming and The wii u will still be cheaper compared to what an iPad will cost in a year. These are the things I thought of when I was deciding whether to preorder lol. I think people are spoiled when it comes to game consoles. I still can't believe that people aren't in an uproar about paying for Xbox live lol and still not having any dedicated servers. Youre just paying for a friends list and party chat. Nintendo is doing the online for the wii u like Sony does for the ps3. It's free but if you want discounts and a little more features you have to pay. Oh yeah, metroid will be the ****. I actually read that the metroid team is currently developing a new engine specifically for Wii U games so they will probably showcase a new metroid with the engine. I hope The upcoming super smash will be great. It's being made by the tekken and soul caliber teams so you can expect it to be the best in the series. @phant The Mario game launching with the Wii U is going to be fun but it's not a 3d open world kind of thing like what you're talking about. You know they will come out with a new 3d Mario soon though and metroid will be the fps you're looking for, I just hope they announce a new one after launch |
