Taking a Closer Look at the Wii U

Comparing the aesthetics of the Wii U along with pictures of the 3DS is a good way to remind people of what's in store for the future of Wii U.  Taking a technical and philosophical look at the 3DS can give you many clues as to what to expect for the future Wii U gamer. 

The 3DS has significantly improved online download and entertainment features, it operates on a significantly upgraded graphics system, it now delivers more of the type of games only developed for other consoles, and it incorporates more motion sensing technology along with an improved AR feature.  A camera feature is very much integrated with the system and the social integration is significantly improved. It's only direct competitor, the PS Vita is significantly more powerful and feature rich but will never surpass the high sales figures of 3DS, which clearly proves that higher specs and more bells and whistles don't guarantee success. 

These should all be things you have and will see with the Wii U system, which means that the Wii U will most likely outsell the new Xbox and PS4 or Omni system. 

That microwave door with the analog sticks is cool looking.  Also what brand is that External DVD Burner next to the old Nintendo systems?

This system looks great next to my 360 and it Roxxxxx

The WiiU console itself has such an uninspired design....

there are many morons and idiots who are complaining about the Wii U price but go out and buy iPad or iphone in a heart beat.

I always thought the Wii U console looked exactly like the Wii, but now that I look at them side-by-side, there's actually quite a bit of difference.  It's longer, maybe a little wider, and the curved edges definitely look much slicker than the Wii.

I was grumpy on first reveal but I'll probably get it in the future. Maybe next year when more titles release for it. 

wow, how is microsoft not suing the hell out of that controller? it's just an xbox controller, only now with 2 stick positions switched, instead of the 1 of the original xbox controller, which is based on the ps2 controller.

you know you're doing something wrong when you need to buy extra stuff to get a decent controller.

looks mad sexy baby. can't wait to take its clothes off tomorrow @midnight

Check out my Review with full description of this New Gaming Console by Nintendo at,

Stay tuned for latest techno, Gaming and Smartphone information....

At least it comes with an HDMI cable unlike some consoles.... Is this almost 2013...? Come on Sony and M$ what the hell is with the AV component connection...?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA the gamepad is big like the whole console

The Wii U's gamepad will make several genres that otherwise were only accessible on the PC play that much better on consoles, much like the Wiimote did to games of the shooting genre. I can't wait to see hardcore role-playing games and other games which require multiple shortcut keys being performed almost as good as on a keyboard with the touch-screen.

I'm not one for comparing. I'm not one for arguing, or debating. Heck, I'm not even one for defending. But I'll say this much. The Wii U looks pretty good. Tried it at Best Buy today. And It wasn't bad, The Gamepad itself was extremely comfortable, and i was relieved, because I was worried that it would be awkward to handle. All I can say is I can't wait. Nintendo was a big part of my childhood, time to relive it again.

Bulky, awkward, overpriced and under-promising for features...still I don't see any other options for this holiday season...

Already have my Deluxe paid and ZombiU waiting for me at launch. Excited for the next couple years for the new gaming gems that will come our way from all develops for all consoles. No reason to fanboy about it... just get them all when you can save up enough money.

I have seen the Wii U in action in Japan and i am impressed. I still don't think Nintendo is doing enough to cater the 'Hard Core players'. Every game they are using to lure Hardcore players is a port *exception of a small few and of which i already have* but importantly it is not the game that makes the player a 'Hardcore player' but the player him or she themselves. I am Hardcore/Pro player and Nintendo's machine just does not cut it for my type of gaming even with limited chat on most games. It guts me. If your a harcore player on Nintendo machines.. It must be lonely.

nintendo are good at making consoles.

last time i owned a N system was the legendary SNES

i wish N good luck with courting more dev support, and who knows, i might own the Wii U one day .

yay cant wait for the wiiU

its great to know that it will be backwards capable with wii games after an update on day 1.

no consoles have backwards compatibility yay nintendo

The controllers for the Wii U look beautfiul. Can't wait. 10 days and counting.

Gotta love people saying the PS4 and Xbox 720 games are going to look so much better than the Wii U's when they aren't even out yet.

I'm really on the edge with the Wii U. I want it, but I don't. It's a hard decision. >.<

I really like playing games in bed, and having the lights off. It's why I got a Ps Vita (but didn't use it as much as the Ipad2, RPG's aren't in their plenty on the Vita yet).

Being that I can use it without the need of the TV is a huge plus for me, since it's just simple to drop it on the bed side table to charge.

Bad things for it, is the cost (roughly £360), and the lack of great titles for me to bend over backwards for em.

It's a Nintendo console, so it's going to be hard to judge before it's actual release and a few months pass (check the Wii and the 3DS, lack of major supporting games and  companies).

I'm really hoping this console actually turns out to be good, because for games in bed, it'll be down to either the Wii U, or one of those new gaming tablets with the analogs attachments.
