Wiiu forum(s)?

Right Lily mentioned in this topic: http://gbatemp.net/topic/324334-rumour-wii-u-less-powerful-than-ps3xbox-360/page__pid__4168663__st__30#entry4168663

that there was no Wiiu forum, but with all these rumors running around etc. I think it would be a nice time to create a Wiiu forum.

Wiiu General Discussion

And I voted yes.

Nintendo has never been known for keeping projects names the same as the released system, so making the section would pretty much be a waist of time until we get more information and a confirmed name for it.

Yeah I easily see them renaming it especially as a lot of people would just see it as a peripheral for the Wii and also the 3DS had problems because people thought that was just another DS.

Not to mention Nintendo has already gotten a lot of negative feedback from it, I doubt they are even keeping the same design, let alone the same name..

I'll go and ask Costello personally, he's the boss together with Shaunj66 ^^

That might work. He listened to me when I told him to change the names of the General Console Discussion to General Gaming Discussion, and the Computers forum to Computer Games and Technology.

Wait, so what are the disadvantages to this again?

Cluttering up the forums, no activity, pointless doing so as early as it is.

Actually I think it'd be better to establish a WiiU forum after more facts are ascertained.

Having a forum to discuss rumours doesn't really do good for anyone

Cluttering up the forums

It would do quite the opposite. It would stop topics being scattered all over the place and centralise them, thus being less cluttered.

no activity

I'm pretty sure people would find things to talk about. And besides, if they don't what harm is no activity going to do?

pointless doing so as early as it is.

I'd like to remind you that the 3DS forums were made 11 months before release and the Vita forums made before we even knew it's name!
Also, as I said in reply to the second quote, there's no harm in doing so.

Edit: Even @[member='Costello'] is in favour of the idea

What, the 2 posts a month we get in the USN? Lol.

And no one would find anything to talk about if we don't know anything about the thing. Same thing happened with the Vita and 3DS if I recall.

 

[Costello]

of course we'll have a Wii U forum, now when... right now? no.
In the coming days or weeks... maybe. Staff will decide.

There's only 2 posts a month (actually, more than that) because no one has anywhere to chat about it. I can currently think of at leat 15 topics which would create discussions.

Plus, I repeat again; no harm can come of creating them now.

COSTELLO HAS SPOKEN.

EDIT: And lolwut he has a new avatar...how did I miss that...

 

[Langin]

of course a Wii U forum will be created.
it's a matter of hours/days now.

thanks for your concern

Woops a bit late I guess xD

 

[Janthran]

It'd be better than people spamming Wii U rumors in USN.

 

[Wizerzak]

Thank you staff!
