The Post E3 Wii U Sticky (you guessed it, keep it here)

OK folks, seems like everybody wants to talk about Wii U or has some new press release about the specs or aomething or other. And now that it's dominating the boards, you guessed it, it's time for a new sticky.

Want to talk about it's 720 resolution? Bring it up here? Third party support? This is the place. How does it's controller compare to "standard" dual analog? How much memory it has, the colour options, dual screen functionality, what ever some developer commented about the upcoming system.... yeah you get the idea.

This is the new home for ALL Wii U discussion. Have at you.

First post :3

I'm famous now.

Anyways, Wii U. Flop. :(.

And nice one Adobe, now there won't be a sea of Wii U threads anymore.

Thank you, good sir.

Wii-U sucks.
Nintendo sucks.
Also, the Wii-U sucks.

Sheep seem to love comparing wii-u to an ancient 7 year old console. Talk about low standards. Bubu on par or slightly better than 360 guys. Is anyone supposed to be impressed?

MFDOOM1983

Considering, sheep don't have anything else to compare to other than PC, what do you want? "Wii-U is not as weak compared to PC than, PS3/360." oh wait that is exactly the same thing. Then again, everyone else is comparing it to the other 2/3 of next gen, which is also the same as PC, according to them. It isn't like Nintendo said something like, "It can put out dual 1080 signals.", or some crap, they said it can put out 1080, which it can. Nothing being said here is a surprise, and it hardly matters what you compare it to. We don't know much about its specs, and the others of next gen are unrealistic. It is a lose/lose discussion then.

I don't have a problem with the Wii-U's power, it is fair, and will be affordable most likely, that is all I need, that and the good games I know are coming out, just speaking about what was shown this E3. I think the argument, if you can call it that, against PS4/Xbox3's fantasy specs, are all going to crumble on top of the people who believe them. Sony doesn't have too much money to lose. Also, why would Microsoft do it when it won't sell compared to cheaper hardware?

But, I continue to come into these threads to see all of these high hopes and think toward the likely future and wonder what they will say then. Unless Sony/Microsoft wait long enough for better hardware to be really cheap, but by then they would have fallen behind in library and sales.

Edit?: Bam, posted it here.You might have locked those other threads too early, possibly.I don't know how this works.

Thank god. Let's see what can I post early in the thread so everyone afterwards looks like an idiot for ignoring?

Rayman Legends, Trine 2, Scribblenauts Unlimited (Scribble with FSAA) all run native 1080p @ 60fps. Digital Foundry said that while Batman AC on Wii U has some missing assets it looks better than the console versions and has FXAA (which the 360/PS3 versions don't)

[QUOTE="Digital Foundry"]

First of all, there are fundamental differences in the lighting model - positioning is different, and some light sources are added, others taken away. Wii U also seems to be sporting motion blur, different settings in the atmospheric rendering, along with the addition of brand new assets to the scene - not just the banners hanging from the tower, but new textures in some places too - it actually seems to be more accurately representing the look of the building when you first make your way towards it after saving Catwoman in the game's first chapter. We're also fairly sure that the basic console 720p presentation has been augmented with FXAA or some equivalent post-process anti-aliasing, which is present in all the gameplay clips, but disabled when "detective vision" is in play. The PS3 and 360 versions feature no anti-aliasing at all.

The Wii U is rumored to have a GPU 1.5 times as strong as 360/PS3, so that could put it close to or above 800Mhz

. It's rumored to have 1.5GB system RAM and a CPU that is at least triple core (maybe Quad) similar to 360's.more info here.

Pikmin 3, Nintendo Land and Super Mario Bros U all run at native 720p @60fps.

Rumored price of Wii U will be $299 with Nintendo Land as a pack-in get info here

The Wii U will support USB Flash Memory, SD cards and USB Hard Drives Here for info

Friend Codes are back but are toned down a lot and you may only need them for a few select features, also there is an achievement system but it isn't mandatory Here for info

Wasn't Digital foundry wrong about a few things though, like Pikmin 3's Frame-rate. I wouldn't count them as reliable, not until the games are out.

By the way, this was a pain to quote.

[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"]Pikmin 3, Nintendo Land and Super Mario Bros U all run at native 720p @60fps.Slashkice

Pikmin 3 currently runs at 30fps with an occasional drop.

Though Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U run at 30 FPS.

Ugh now all the news that comes out wont be seen by anyone here...

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]

Nintendo said it runs at 60 FPS and if not it will run at 60 FPS at launch.

Link

Though Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U run at 30 FPS.

Slashkice

Yeah, that's why I said currently. Though I'm not convinced they'll get it up to 60 when it currently can't hold a rock-solid 30, we'll see I guess.

Nintendo Land and NSMBU are actually 60fps at this point.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't 60 FPS Nintendo usually tries to get most of their games to run at 60 FPS.

So anytime anyone wants to start a topic about Wii U, it's going to get lost in this thread. Perfect. Now SW wont be clogged with pesky discussions about an upcoming console that could spark a variety of threads.

Wii U will completely outsell PS4 and NextBox. By the time they come out it will already be to late.

Dude people buy each Ipad iteration for $600+, and you are telling me people won't spend $300 dollars on this?

There are two reasons I don't feel Digital Foundry should apply here. First, this is probably due more to my lack of knowledge, but I don't see how they can test a games performance without having it themselves. The other is that I don't care what it runs at now, that doesn't apply to me, the consumer. I'm also going to trust Nintendo here because, well, they made the game and they haven't ever said stuff, that I know of, that are flat out lies.

Well we know its not a next gen console.JohnnyCageMK

Nintendo has confirmed it will ship at 60fps and there have been a number of people saying it was 60fps on the E3 show floor. Digital Foundry started the whole "Pikmin 3 at 30fps" stuff while everyone else says 60fps and even if it is 30fps it will ship at 60fps

I'm not sure of anybody who said it runs at 60fps except for nintendo themselves

Nintendo is a reliable source, so it doesn't really change anything. If anything, Nintendo is more reliable than any other source in my opinion, on their own games of course.

Yeah, because they didn't leave themselves open for negativity with the 720p comment? They have been honest so far, why bother stopping now? Digital Foundry doesn't have the resources it would take to get the truth, and you know what they have to gain? Site views. Nintendo is the company behind those games, I'm sure they'll know. Plus if they lie their reputation is down the drain when it releases and people dissect it.
