"Man, and I thought 60 bucks for a new 360 controller was expensive. Do they come with some kind of warranty? If it breaks will Nintendo ship me a new one? Or do I have to go spend $172 dollars on a new Wii U pad?"

Thats probably one of the more expensive input devices I have seen so far...

I don't think I have owned anything above $160 for an input device.

How is it a total ripoff of the 360 controller? It looks like a fucking updated N64 controller...

Hopefulyl the actual Wii U is only a couple hundred otherwise they wont move very many of these

supposedly according to what I read, the Wii U launches at 299 for the basic model(8gb),and the "premium" black console with a bigger HDD(only 32gb >___>) is 350 I'm guessing. If I got one,I'd want the black console,looks cooler

32 gig HDD the max?

LMAO WTF at Nintendo

Nintendo was never very big on the hardware front

JrTapia1991

I don't think it's the big jump everybody was expecting,it only has 1gb of ram.The Wii U's OS uses another 1gb on it's own

although the 360 and PS3 only have like 256mb-512 I think.

it'll probably be like the Wii and only tiny sized old games will be for download.They said you can use SD cards and HDDs on your own if you want,don't know what the limit would be

Nintendo is dying to me

I got a gamestop email to pre-order deluxe black edition is 350, white edition is 299.

No idea what comes with them because i didn't care to look, the black has 32gb and the white has 8gb.

If its anything like the original Wii, the 32 gigs will actually be alot.

If I remember correctly the Wii only had a good 2000 blocks of memory. Which from what I remember translated roughly to 512 MBs.

I have had my wii for a good 3 years, play it every now and then. And even after downloading things on Brawl, and playing a good 40+ games I still have a solid 800 blocks of memory left.

Wii games are virtually tiny, even the larger ones only take up some small amount of memory.

So 32 gigs really does seem a lot.

Assets for the Wii were tiny in comparison, though - due to lower geometric detail, texture res etc.

While Wii games and older Virtual Console stuff will still take up minimal space, the Wii U itself is now (finally) running high definition content and able to run current generation games.

So a better comparison is the 360, PS3 and any current gen PC games. If Nintendo really want to get on board with current gaming, then dlc is in for a start.

For example, Blops 2 is confirmed for Wii U - now think about the inevitable dlc that will need to be installed. Countless other games will be the same. How about the amount of HDD space that BF3 eats up with all it's updates?

Now the console is HD, all assets will take up a huge amount more storage space over the Wii system.

32GB for the 'premium' system really is a pitiful amount in this day, and will only get you so far. Hell, I want a 32GB card for my Vita, and the assets required for that are far slimmer than what would be required on the home consoles.

At least it's easy to augment the Wii U with external drives, I guess, but I think it's a pretty poor showing really Neutral

Yeah you got a point there. A pretty valid one as well. But for now, we have no idea what Nintendo's plans are.

I mean almost every one of their systems that has used some form of memory, consumed memory in small amounts.

Hell, the N64 memory card. I don't know how much the default basic one holds, but I NEVER even reached half that things capacity. And I still got like 40 some odd games.

Then there was the GCUBE. I have a 512 MB Memory Card thats only got 300 memory taken up. And thats after like 25 games on it, and almost 40 created characters in WWE Day of Reckoning 2.

So until the system actually is out, we have no idea.

Pretty much this. If the Wii U doesn't do well (which I'm pretty sure it won't) I see Nintendo going the way of sega and getting out of the hardware game altogether and just going software only.

That doesn't even make sense. If the Wii U does HALF as well as the Wii does, that means they are still doing better then MS or Sony. Last time I checked the Wii has a good 30 million more units sold then the 360 or PS3.
And that was for a system that was just nothing more then a slight upgrade of their last.

The Wii U is a huge step forward in what they have now. When I heard the rumors about a new Nintendo system I expected a Wii V2. Not something that is already technically stronger then our current gen systems.

Also, its Bayonetta 2 related. But the dude makes some great points about both the game, and Nintendo and the Wii U.

^hahaha that's awesome.

Controller price doesn't seem too bad. It's essentially a tablet, plus things over seas are always more expensive than they are here. I bet it'll be like $100-$125 here.
