E3 2011: Discussion and Predictions Thread - Page 34

Wii U is a new console btw. Reggie confirmed it on G4 with Adam Sesler.

Aussie Legend Graphics are only going to get so much better. Look at BBB's post. Unless Microsoft and Sony have huge budgets, the games won't look to much better. It's been reported that the Wii U has graphics better then the PS3, but I'm not sure if that's true. If it is, you can expect it to be somewhat close to the next gen Ms and Sony systems.

That new Legend of Zelda game looked amazing. I want it. Now. I thought Masahiro Sakurai wanted nothing to do with a new SSB game...

EDIT: Weren't there two Kirby games on that closing Nintendo Screen? I thought one said Wii, don't know about the other one.

That's my whole arguement though, why focus on the games I can already get on another console? "Oh look, we can do everything the other consoles have been doing for 5 years". What would have got me excited was a new Mario, a new Metroid, a new Star Fox for the system, a first party game from Nintendo for the WiiU. I don't think I even own a game on the wii that isn't first party.

The point is that Nintendo has those 3rd parties on board now, so that you can get those games, and specifically new games like those, on Nintendo. We all know Nintendo will continue their 1st party games on the system, but they are trying to focus in on the 3rd parties to win them back over.

And if you didn't get some of the great 3rd party content on Wii, then that's your own fault.

pwnige - But when microsoft and sony start dropping their new consoles in 2013-2014 Nintendo are gonna be in the same spot they have been this generation, which is one gen behind hardware wise. So then they're gonna be stuck again, unless third parties decide to down-res their games to the WiiU.

Disagree with this premise entirely. Looking at that tech demo, what else is more horsepower supposed to do, assuming Microsoft or Sony really want to go the huge tech route again? Its a dead end, and everyone is finally realizing it.

Gametrailers is interviewing Reggie. Doubt we'll get any good info, but yeah. I'm going to miss it though.

That little clip they showed toward the end of the Zelda Orchestra performance, was that Skyward Sword? It seemed they are showing Link and Zelda, but Zelda looked weird. Can anyone help clarify?

Also, think the fact that shooters are coming to Wii U will make the Xbox 360 fanboys at least recognize nintendo?

I don't think that was Zelda, but the next Farm Girl/Link's Sister/Saria type character that gets Link started on his quest.

Looking forward to most? Kid Icarus Uprising. Game looks awesome, whole reason I bought my 3DS in the first place.

No. And who cares? Just play what you like on what you like.

Uprising looks a little...eh. I dunno. I'm not too interested in it for some reason, though I do like the battle thing.

If I sell:

Nintendo Wii
Sensor Bar
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World [WII]
Kingdom Hearts [PS2]

Then maybe some other stuff, how much should I get if I do it when U comes out?

Ebay, at least 200-300.

On Ebay, I'd need to include a Wiimote, which I'd like to keep for Wii U.

I'll need to see if the U comes with a Wiimote as well first.

I would just stay away from Gamestop if you want to see things since they will give you least and i think you can get much more money if you sell it somewhere else.
