So, do you plan to get the Wii U when it comes out? I plan on getting one ( but not exactly on the first day it comes out. Getting it when some games like Smash bros and Zelda come out for it). The graphics look great on it and I just know that it will have a great lineup of games over time. I am hoping that it will come with a VC where you can buy GameCube games. That would really convince me (and other Nintendo fans) to buy the Wii U.

I might try to convince my parents, they both love the Wii and I think it would be a better gaming system.

Nintendo has revealed, via their Japanese site, that the Wii U GamePad takes a lengthy 2.5 hours to fully charge, and that it will work for 3-5 hours before it needs recharging again. Thankfully it can be charged up via the console, so batteries won’t be an issue this time around.

On the tour of the gamepad, on the bottom of it I saw metal connectors that look basically identical to the ones on the 3DS, so i have a feeling the Wii U will have a charging cradle.

Wish it was longer, but I can deal with it.

This was expected.

Being able to charge it on the consul is good, and the battery life isn't bad at all since it is a large device that involves a lot of interactions.

I can deal with that time, it will let me take a break before I continue playing. Does anyone know when this is supposed to come out?

Not bad for the battery duration.

Better than spending a damn fortune on batteries ! LOL

I guess thats ok but I wish there was a charging cord so you could play while it charges.

You can! I think it works with a 3DS adapter (which I'm assuming the Wii U will come with) so you can easily charge it! Much better than using just regular batteries.

Nintendo was asked this question during their develop roundtable at E3. They responded by saying:

 

 

"In North America, Wii Sports was a pack-in. In Japan, it was not. Even though it's the same concept, it doesn't necessarily mean the same result."

 

"Honestly, I don't know what will happen." That said, they continued to push the similarities between NintendoLand and Wii U, so it seems quite possible.

What do you guys think? This game looks like a fun and interesting way to show off the Wii U's features and unite several Nintendo franchises together, so I'd love to get it.

 

However, I don't know if I'd be willing to spend $60 for something like this. I really think that it should come with the Wii U, and like Wii Sports, it would do a great job of showing Wii U purchasers what their new system can do.

I think it should come with it so I dont have to buy it by itself and use money somewhere else.

 

This is a little off-topic, but does anyone know when WiiU is coming out?

Nintendo has said "this holiday." We have yet to get an exact date though. I'm guessing it will come out in November or December.

Honestly, I hoping it comes bundled with Pikmin 3. That game is stunning, and its going to be awesome. Nintendoand looks interesting though, I just hope its not like every party game that's out there.

Okay, I just need to know if it will be a Christmas or Birthday gift. This year, I have to get both a WiiU and PS3.

It depends on if they think NA will like it.

I think thats a fair shout, everyone wanted to check out this new motion controller game style when the Wii came out and Wii-sports did a fine job demonstrating it. Maybe Nintendoland will do the same for the Wii-U. I can't see myself buying the game seperately.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed to Kotaku that Wii U will feature friend codes. Reggie says that the Wii U friend codes will be a simplified version of what’s available on Wii and Nintendo 3DS. He believes that gamers will be happy with the changes that have been implemented, but he wouldn’t divulge any additional information.

 

“There are friend codes, but it’s not the existing friend code system. What do I mean by that? Here’s what I mean: you will be able to identify people as friends and have a certain level of interaction vs. a different level of interaction for the more general population. The method by which you identify someone as a friend is a lot simpler than what’s happening today with Friend Codes.” (He declined to lay out the new Wii U friend code program just yet.)

 

 

Also, the Wii U will feature an achievement system. When speaking with Kotaku, Reggie Fils-Aime has confirmed that Wii U will have system-level achievements like the Nintendo 3DS and its Mii Plaza Accomplishments. Fils-Aime said that Nintendo is giving developers the choice of whether they want to implement an achievement system in their games. In other words, a Wii U game is not required to feature a system of achievements.

Awesome Nintendo. Can't wait to see what its like.

The only way to fix friend codes is to destroy them.

They were such a pain to deal with.

The achievement system would make games more addicting.

Are any of you interested? I know I am. Im fluffin' excited I'll definitely be getting one.

HOW DARE YOU USE MY NAME IN VAIN

 

Meh, I'd rather get a ps3.

Unless a KH game comes out exclusively for the Wii U, I probably won't be getting it.
