Wii U announced.

[KillerSkaarj]

Nintendo's new system, Wii U, was just revealed at their conference earlier today. Joke about the name all you want, but it's getting Darksiders II, Batman: Arkham City (which means Nintendo is finally getting UE3), Assassin's Creed, Metro: Last Light, and Battlefield 3, among others. Not only that, but it's an HD console as well, Nintendo's first.

Nintendo finally created a console that clicks with both the casual and hardcore crowd.

Yeah, it will get these games a year after they come out. Yay? Nothing says hardcore like last season's games.

I'm glad they finally have a system that competes with 5yo hardware, but we'll see if it's actually worth my time or money.

Wii U?

Ok Wii made sense when it was first announced. Wii stick together and all that jazz. So will this be Will U wii with us?

Yeah I made a pee joke.

Aliens Colonial Marines was also mentioned along side it which is also a UE3 title.

But certainly looks like this could be rather powerful.

Wii was about "We," now it's about "U," as in you. You the gamer. I probably should've linked to the conference because they explain it perfectly there.

 

[Darkdrium]

However they explain it Wii is a terrible name and Wii U is a terrible-er name.

Ok that makes much more sense. Curse them for having the conference so damn early. Still at work for another 2 hours.

Goddammit I could name my PC NuggetButt (not sure why I'd ever want to ) and it'll still do what it's supposed to do. Wii U still plays games, I don't know why you need a cool sounding name to be able to enjoy the console.

EDIT: LOL at the tag. "I'm KillerSkaarj and I graduated from Wii U"

 

[Darkdrium]

I'm not saying you can't enjoy the games and the console if it has a terrible name.

I'm just saying it's a terrible name.

Fair enough.

EDIT: And to be fair, yes, it does sound like a little kid trying to imitate an ambulance.

$250 console + $250 controller.

Ohh, ohh, the next one will be all about "We" again and be named Wii U Us

Don't be silly.

$300 console + $200 controller

[SleepyHe4d]

How much for a 3G controller?
