E3 2011 Conferences

[machomuu]

Oh well, once shooters get on the Wii U, mainstream gamers will certainly take notice (even though I hate them so).

Seriously. Why are people making a big fuss about the name?
ITS JUST A NAME! Its not defining its hardware or what its capable of.

Because it's named so similarly to the Wii.
People will misunderstand and think "it's just a fancy controller, waste of money"
Hell, even I thought it was a Wii accessory it wasn't until after the conference it was an actual new console, Nintendo didn't drive home that it was a new console they just talked about how exciting the prospect of a screen in a controller is and showed the new features off.

Well, PS2 and PS3 sounds the same except the number at the end?
Wii-U.. I dont see why people would misunderstand?

Trust me, you don't know how many people I know think the 3DS is just "The 3D one" (their exact words). That's why they don't buy it.

Well, they are right. It is the 3d Ds.

No, it's a Nintendo 3-Dimensional System. It's not a Nintendo Dual Screen, though it does have them.

I know that, what I meant was it's just a ds with 3d.

You must specify. I stated both the 3DS and DS names. a Nintendo DS, last generation's system, it's full name is Nintendo Dual Screen. The 3DS, the current generation system, it's full name is 3-Dimensional System. It is not a Nintendo Dual Screen so it is not a DS. The "DS" in 3DS is not interchangeable with the "DS" in Nintendo Dual Screen. Thus, a 3DS is a 3DS and not a DS. Nothing less, nothing more.

Alright, alright. It's just the way they look that makes me think that. They both look the same, each have dual screens, it's just that the 3ds has 3d. That's what I think. I know it's new console, but it's just an another ds with more stuff to me.

I'm fine with that.

you can use the motes and any other peri made for the wii on this so keep those mplus remotes!

Hope Nintendo will change the name because parents are stupid, they won't buy this for their kids, if they think it's just an add on to the Wii. Wii U, sucks anyway. And the design of the controller is so poor.

dont buy it then millions of others will instead.

It's not that black and white, mate.

A name makes a big part of the reputation and the worse you make it, the harder it gets for the audience to overcome that first impression. I bet the name "wheee" made a large part of the reputation of it being a kiddy console.

Also: I'll most likely get one anyway, but I be damned if I'm going to try to convince my friends to get one if it has a ridiculous name like that.

How did the Wii start?
Not too well huh? people made big fuz about the name, and where are we now?

Anyone making fun of the name?

It wasnt the "wheee" that made people buy it.. it was just a interactive family console to start with and attracted both kids and adults.

With Wiis collecting dust?

@machomuu

The problem with this is that if you're a "hardcore" FPS fan, what has been keeping you from already buying a 360/PS3? Like I said, they needed to lock an exclusive.

TOMB RAIDER made me jeez in my pants!
shit i got a boner! lol

that was impressive!

 

[KrimsoN111]

The name is not the point, good or bad for them it doesn't matter. even if on release some people are confused give it a few months and they'll figure it out.
it's just a name.

The Wii U won't upscale Wii games, that's a shame, I was really looking forward to it, my wet dream would be Dolphin kind of graphics for Wii on the Wii U !
I was even committed to buy some games ( I'm pretty sure my backups won't work on the new system! )..........but hey, I'm better off upgrading my PC so that Dolphin would run even smoother

Nothing. And that's a good thing. If we get too many mainstream gamers on the Wii U then devs will take notice and bloat the Wii U with generic shooters.

You just gave me the greatest homebrew idea ever: PCSX 2 Wii.
Instant buy.

zomg the new zelda looks epic!

WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU! You hear that? That's the ambulance coming, because the Nintendo brand is dead.

Let the console come out first before saying anything.

No wonder he got defensive...sony fanboy....

anyway...new zelda? you mean skyward sword, right?

 

[Satangel]

Glad to see all the Wii controllers are supported.
Hopefully we see GTA V and CoD MW3 come out on this baby, then we will finally have real hardcore titles!

 

[PolloDiablo]

If they can manage to put the console in a $250/$350 price range... the WiiU will be a must buy

 

[BlueStar]

WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU!WiiU! You hear that? That's the ambulance coming, because the Nintendo brand is dead.

People have been saying that for years "Why don't they just make a console exactly the same as the other two, why aren't they just like Sony and MS, ths is it, they're finished" and yet they keep just being Nintendo and leaving the other two playing catch up.

No one got defensive, dude, you just have trouble telling the difference between stating a "fact", and stating an opinion, and FYI, I don't own one Sony product, but you would know that if you knew a damn thing about me.

Cheers.

 

[PolloDiablo]

no mention of The Last Story or Pandora's Tower so far?

That's the problem here. The Nintendo is playing catch up and it shows. They aren't innovating anything. The tablet screams "iPad", streaming to a handheld has been done, and the third party support are all ports right now. And much like the early life of the 360 vs. ps3, those third party games will be ports because developers aren't going to be spending time developing solely for the wiiu. It's a year and a half away, which gives MS and Sony chances to show their new tech, which will end up surpassing the WiiU meaning down ports.
