I'm not sure if I should post this in this section as it says emulation. But I can't seem to find anything that's off topic to emulation but deals with actual consoles.

Move it if it's out of place and sorry.



First, The Wii U is simply awesome. It has a huge new bizarre controller that comes with an embedded screen for play in tandem with the tv or as a stand-alone monitor for the actual game. that just blows my mind. They're really taking it to the next level. Your home console just became an in-home portable home console. Zelda in HD graphics, a lot of new game companies coming over to nintendo like Konami with Metal Gear Solid. I mean it looks like all is well.

It is true the Wii really lacked a lot of things -- Network abilities, No HD output... I really did fill like Wii was an alien compared to all other current consoles. It was bare... It didn't even play dvds -- but it's an interactive entertainment system not a blu-ray player.

Anyways, I think this will make up for the wii that for me was a disappointment turned to a big success. As I had one, bought a few games for it, and was completely pissed with it. It did do one thing however -- attract a large crowd of people.

But let me get back to the wii u.

Some challenges I think Nintendo and the Wii U will face.
Hmmm....
I think Nintendo has a real shortage of actual games. The only ones that are actually worth playing for people that don't get a kick out of those actual dancing games... are their classics. Nintendo needs a lot of new developers. I think the Wii U has a chance to bring a plethora of them in too. If development is serious, I think this could be 1. Something that attracts even more new gamers (which means more games in a nutshell), 2. Bring more hardcore/extreme gamers over to the nintendo world and 3. Bring a whole new gameplay experience.

Well, as I stated before... I'm a bit new to video games. Anyone else see any actual problems with the u, want to express their excitement about the wii u or express opposite feelings about my opinions... Go right ahead.


I guess so this won't be super off topic... Do you think the Wii u will even take that long to emulate.... as the only new features I see are hd, the new controller and... that's about it. I'm not sure if they're completely done with the U though.

I would really want to get my game dev experience up and develop on this one -- Im that psyched about the new gameplay experience.

I've tried dolphin. It's pretty good. I've only messed around with the gamecube half though. (and minuscule playing)

I haven't tried the wii u either.. I just saw and read about it. I really hope to do some good ole testing it with a lot of games soon though -- Dolphin that is.
