Which also leads to an inflated price.

Couldn't they just put a filter over a regular video recording?

The wii u's gamepad screen does not support the original wii mode. So if I wanted to play a game like Mario All-Stars or Xenoblade, I would have to go in my living room. If I had a cheap wii mini, I would not need that functionality. You are correct when you claim there are alot of great VC games, but if I am not…

Well to be fair, GameCube functionality has been gone since the 2011 refresh. Also this would be great for children or adults who just want a Nintendo gaming box without all the extra features.

I can only imagine how small the console would be without the optical drive. Anyway it looks great and I love the two tone color.

You can compare them. In order for me to access my xfinity xbox app I need to pay $60 per year for XBL. If I want to use Hulu or netflix on my xbox, I need to pay $60 per year for XBL.

22 million worldwide in 1.5 years and selling faster than the original DS, yet dedicated handhelds are now dead.

There is no signs point to that because the 2010 powerpoint by Microsoft show'd they want to have a Kinect 2.0 in every Xbox for only $299. Microsoft is not going to want to sell this thing for a $200 loss at launch and in order to get to that price point, they are going to release a mid range console a little more…

I picked that title up with my Black Wii U and I can tell you it feels so much different from NSMB Wii. The game feels like the spiritual successor to Super Mario World. I have loved every minute of it, and the Miiverse functions are really fun.

seems like it

So I am going to assume that this will be on equal footing to the Wii U? Also streaming games should effectively destroy the used game market for the the new xbox if this report is true.

Please listen to the friend menu song. The gamepad and TV really make it such peaceful music.

Same here. I booted up CoD, Nintendo Land, and NSMB2 yesterday to try them out and they all took an additional 20 to 30 minutes to update.

I have enjoyed the Wii U so far, but when you insert a game for the first time, I am not a fan of the update processes. It is far too slow when you download and install the update for games.

Well my consoel has not been choppy at all. I have suffered from zero slow down since booting it up for the first time early yesterday morning.

How accurate is the gamepad for CoD BO2?

Can you confirm if we can use the pro controller for any fist party Nintendo titles? I do not know if I should buy a Pro controller or Wii Remote for 2 player action.

I think I am going to buy this game now. Seems like a really humble guy

I understand that. The point was that we might have another piece of defective hardware from Microsoft.

I wonder if this is going to as massive as the RROD fiaco a few years ago.
