Nintendo E3 2011 - Your Reactions?

[TheBlitz]

It's interesting how they're going to be able to double up the 3DS/WiiU graphics/screen size. Just thinking about Super Smash Bros - on the 3DS the screen is either going to be very compressed or zoomed in - there's no way you can fit the same on a 3DS screen and a WiiU screen.

Also, Darksiders, AssCreed, Batman?! Ahmagawd really really do want.

Nintendo's going all out with third party games here.

 

[DustyDrB]

It looks like its going to have at least decent third party support

 

[Nihlex]

I seriously have goose bumps, soooooo stoked on this now.

 

[Awexsome]

All these third party games... does this tablet give the Wii a graphics upgrade somehow that they forgot to mention?

 

[Luthir Fontaine]

woooo nintendo and 3rd party...never think i would live to see the day

 

[Unhappy Crow]

Wait, did I just hear Darksiders II and Assassin's Creed on the Wii U?

What? Almost half of these games that were on the PS3 and 360 are being released on Wii U.

You can draw and add designs on Tekken characters in Tekken Wii. Nice.

OH MY GOD. Ninja Gaiden 3! I need to keep my eye on Nintendo somemore about this new system.

3rd party support looks good, but I still don't understand how you would play a shooter with that controller. Too wide and awkward, and the sticks above the buttons are very awkward.

Mass Effect logo on the screen.
BioWare games being on it will win me over.

 

[Warlord211]

This is...... interesting. I might have to dust off my Wii and play some AssCreed or Batman.

I get the feeling that developers arent willing to miss the opportunity to capitalise on the next nintendo console after missing the wii. MONEY!
And we have confirmed online. Win Nintendo. Win.

Wii U's controller overwhelms me. That and all those starter-game previews were gritty and bloody, and dark. If they're going to make Wii U hardcore, they should make the U part black and red with blood dripping off =P

edit - on the by, is the Wii U just the controller? Or is it a whole new system as well?

 

[Warlord211]

Did I just hear Battlefield 3 on Wii?

This is what I'm wondering as there's no way the current Wii has the power to pump this stuff out.

It's an entirely new console. If you notice in the videos they have shown you can see it next to the TV. Looks like a slightly bigger (and less angular) Wii.

And, looks like we might be seeing future ME releases on a Nintendo console

so what is it a console or controller....they keep saying different things

I know this is really confusing.

 

[TheBlitz]

In response to what he's saying, yes, the DS/Wii changed gaming, but not always for the better.

Also, sure, the WiiU looks like it's going to be promising, but I'm guessing this kind of technology is not going to be cheap...

He just said, "revolutionary controller FOR Wii U". I think the console is just mundane compared to the controller (or they don't have the final look for the console nailed down).

It's both.
They should really use a different name. Or maybe I've just gotten used to Cafe.
