Spike TV is going to show a Wii U exclusive. I wonder what it is.

No price, date or specs for a system realising later this year. Really? Think the boys may have to pack their bags for TGS this year.
Nintendo said weeks ago they weren't talking about pricing or release date.
Ok didn't realise that. I just remember when that was the norm for a console release.
I get the feeling after having to drop the 3DS price they just aren't confident about what they can charge especially that when they commisioned the WiiU tech they were probably riding the crest of the Wii's popularity.
Yeah, just imagine what that WiiFit board smells like. Blluuugh.@Sparklykiss said:

Yeah, it's actually grossing me out.

Just a small protest on my part.@Claude said:

I just made a appointment to remove my Zelda tattoo. I'm done, going to fucking neutral.But you like your red name.
This is so weird. I thought you guys were Nintendo-supporters because of all the things you've experienced, not their current state.
But, whatever. For reference, my name is blue because I like the color blue.
Hey I love my Wii and all the consoles before it, hell I'm playing my 3DS right now, but I'd really like to play some freaking games on a game console.@Claude said:

that's all
So was there anything worthwhile besides Pikmin? I started watching when they were playing some Mario Party mini game or something.
Ohh boy, this was bad. Looks like more gimmick stuff. Both Rayman and Mario did the same trick about the touch screen user helping the other users beat the level. Also looks like a lot of games will be using a wii mote. That means more waggle. Then they show year old games with some new touchscreen stuff and people clap.

Hey, I'm not trying to defend Nintendo here, but I'm sure both you and Claude will get what you want out of the Wii U before long - even if their press conference was incredibly boring.
I know, don't worry!@TaliciaDragonsong said:

But the thing here is that I'm not feeling like going through a Wii again.
There were more breaks in games than in today's tv shows, we're talking half years and whole years before there's stuff out worth buying!
I own 40+ Gamecube games, but barely 10 Wii games.
I don't think that could of been much worse. Too much social media talk and not enough games. Too bad the stuff they showed outside of Paper Mario and Pikmin 3 looked boring.

On the bright side, as least the conference itself wasn't bad.
Exactly which part of the conference wasn't terrible? Aside from maybe Pikmin, which I care nothing about personally.

I meant how it was presented. It wasn't that boring, or poorly put together like Ubisoft's.

I dunno man. I found it pretty boring as they were talking about that Nintendo Land for what seemed like forever.

I expected Sony and Microsoft to have tame conferences, but I figured Nintendo's would be more exciting because of the console launch. Felt like a mid-life conference, not a launch one.
more like the death of a console
What? Ubisoft's conference was the best one.@LiquidPrince said:

Well apparently they're gonna show off a platinum games wiiU exclusive on spike. Seems weird that it wasn't shown during the press conference.
