Video Games Wii U announcement

Swanman · 11-20-2012, 08:59 AM

I picked one up at midnight on Saturday. It's a fun console. The gamepad is really different but I am getting used to it. I played a bit of Nintendoland and it had some fun mini-games that showed off the gamepad. ZombiU was pretty cool but hard as hell as well as ultraviolent (which I like). I played some Black Ops 2 on the Wii U last night and I really liked it. I bought one of their "pro" controllers which is basically a 360 controller clone. The nice part of the Wii U is that it will be able to port over a lot of the big titles for the time being until PS4 and 720 come out, and they will always have the Zelda and Mario franchises.

The big question will be whether they can maintain these ports once the other consoles arrive.

They probably won't so at that point it would switch to current gen exclusive titles. Nintendo can afford to do that with the multiple popular exclusive franchises.
