Rumor: Wii U in Development Hell

[Valwin]

psp was a failure admit it already go see the numbers

70 million sold. How is that a failure? The GBA sold 80 million and it was considered a megahit.

we talking this gen

ds sold 147.87 million

It will be nice if everyone just stops arguing and respects each others' opinions. After all, nothing is absolutely "better" or "worse" than something else. It's only relative and depends on a person's views.

One person may hate 3D because it gives them headaches (thereby making it bad) but another person thinks it's cool and makes games better (thereby making it good). Neither is right nor wrong. These are just opinions and arguing about who is right or what is better is just pointless.

You like better graphics and expensive systems? Great! That's your preference.
You like motion control and touchscreens? Fine! Enjoy your games.
You think coming up with new concepts is a gimmick? That's your opinion.
You think coming up with new concepts is innovation? That's your opinion.
You think Nintendo sucks? That's your opinion.
You think Nintendo is awesome and all other game companies suck? That's your opinion.

Does Nintendo generally have hardware inferior to other consoles of it's generation? Yes. Is that bad? Yes or no depends on your opinion.

THESE ARE ALL JUST OPINIONS PEOPLE. No need to get all hot under the collar because someone's opinions don't match with yours. And there's no point in forcing your opinions on others.

Wait, what was this thread originally about again?

About the Wii U development problems

.

But, to say something, everyone has opinions for each different console. We can respect their opinion but that doesn't mean we have to agree to it.

Sure but I think there's no point going on arguing about who's right. There is no right or wrong here.

In my opinion

Leaving all the conversation you're having, I'll stick to the OP.
Probably they should scrap that control and do something with a new touch screen (really, the should be called now touchtendo).

So? Does that make 70 million any smaller a number? It's still 70 million consoles. You'd have to be severely delusional to call it a failure.

3D on 3DS is fucking badass, the videos are badass, I WANT feature length 3D movies. 3D WILL impact the gameplay of 3D platformers. The 3DS is NOT difficult to hold properly unless you're a granny. Nintendo needs to trash the Wii U and go back to the drawing board.

Trying to stay only on-topic (because I would love to jump in on some of the other.....arguments, but won't.):

A "problem" with the current age we live in, the often times touted "information age" is the prevalence of this "kind" of "information" without context. Again, this is the DEVELOPMENT phase. This is the phase you want to have problems. I WILL NOT listen to "problems with the _________" in regards to the Wii U until it is released, because stuff changes.

Okay, to prevent any further arguments over sucky graphics means a game sucks, here's an example of one of the best games of all time, but it has crap graphics: Deus Ex (Sorry to anyone that will have to reinstall and play it, I know it's an irresistible compulsion.)

It's not like it will do any harm.


But anyway, the only thing I hate about the wii u is the controler, everything else is fine.

In 2000 it looked good.

Maybe developers are just whining because they don't have the luxury of being able to work with the same architecture as they did when going from the GameCube to the Wii.

Wasn't there also a patch that was released a couple months ago to update the graphics?

Yes there was, it was front paged, too. So there's really no excuse.

goddamnit Nintendo stop with the fucking gimmicks, you got lucky with the wii but it slowly died, the ds is the only thing that was gimmicky at the start but was able to stand on it's own, just create a good console nothing fancy just something that works well and has that Nintendo charm

Those consequences allegedly include "inadequate" streaming and wireless functionality integral to the Wii U's innovative design, the source continues, and speculation that the console's main chip set "may be a tad too cheap."

"So far, the wireless functions simply do not work at all," it continues, claiming that as a result, developers are working with a tethered controller which apparently "still does not work properly".

Inadequate streaming functionality? Wireless HDMI exists and works fine, so even if that tablet had a HD resolution (and it doesn't), there should be no problem in streaming video to it.

Just how cheap are these components?
