Media: A single self-loading media bay will play 12-centimeter proprietary high-density optical discs for the new console, as well as 12-centimeter Wii optical discs.

Video Output: Supports 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i. Compatible cables include HDMI, component, S-video and composite.

Audio Output: Uses AV Multi Out connector. Six-channel PCM linear output through HDMI.

Storage: The console will have internal flash memory, as well as the option to expand its memory using either an SD memory card or an external USB hard disk drive.

CPU: IBM Power®-based multi-core microprocessor.

Other: Four USB 2.0 connector slots are included. The new console is backward compatible with Wii games and Wii accessories.

• The games shown for Wii U at the show were actually PS3 and 360 versions but the Wii U will look the same or better
• No BluRay Support

Yeah, because PS and PS2 games TOTALLY looked better than N64 games. Ehhh! Just wait until your favorite games have been done up Nintendo style with this new controller in full 1080p HD. They're going to revolutionize gaming, again!

Sorry nothing against Wii but it doesn't compete with the PS3 Move. Move kicks ass.

Of course they are still developing titles for Move but the Sports Champions game is

the shit compared to Wii baseball and other Wii related sports games. And when i play

PS3 Sports Champions i don't feel like i'm playing against weeble wobble characters like

i do when i play my nephew's Wii. Also Sports games like Madden and the new NBA Jordan

game is far better on PS3.

I rarely play the games that involes Miis

I'm more into RPGs and Platformers so I'm cool with my Wii with games like Mario, Zelda, and Epic Mickey (although I do want a Xbox 360)

Wii Sports

Wii Sports Resort

Wii Play

Michael Jackson : The Experience

The House of The Dead 2 & 3

The House of The Dead : Overkill

Sonic Unleashed

Super Smash Bros Brawl

Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

Mario Kart Wii

The Godfather : Blackhand Edition

Mortal Kombat Armageddon

I wanna get Mario and Zelda soon. I borrowed my cousins copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2 for a month and beat the whole game, that game is HELLA dope.

I had to choose between Mario Galaxy 2 or Mario Bros Wii and I chose the latter, but I REALLY want Galaxi and Paper Mario. I may get a Gamefly account to rent them

Really? Really? Really?

Bottom line is there is a Wii because Sony's been kicking their ass with

their inaugural Playstation and PS2 for damn near 2 decades.

How long did the Nintendo cube last? 6 months while Sony PS2 and Xbox

was blowing it out the water. Wii is okay. Sony is just superior gaming system. Period.

I had to be the only person who perferred the 64 over the PSX the PS2 was better than the Gamecube though (I liked GC but PS2 had Kingdom Hearts)

The Wii was made to lure in the people who rarely or never played games. I never expected Wii Sports to be as successful as it is. I just found out that damn game outsold all 3 of the original Super Mario Bros games nearly 80 million copies?!

I remember everybody talking about the PS3 but then the price was unveiled (I think it was $599 or more on its launch day).....I worked at gamestop at the time. The only Wii's I saw in the store was the one on display because they were always sold out PS3s were in the back collecting dust. I probably could've stole one and gotten away with it, they had so many

The Gamecube was technically much better than the PS2. Just compare the awful port of Resident Evil 4 on PS2 with the much superior Gamecube original. And there were a lot of great excusive games on the Cube as well. Not so much as on the PS2, that's right, but enough to make me happy and proud to own a cube.

I hate those "system wars", it's fun to play with them all.

w00t system warz

i have both at home and i appreciate both for diffrent reasons.

Sony is the superior HARDCORE system.(well 360 is more hardcore but whatevs)

Nintendo is where i go if i want platformers/adventure and of course crazy party stuff.

i loved gamecube, so underrated and the dudebro gamers really hated on it for whatever reason...

i love nintendo for always changing and taking risks, then i like watching the competiton copy it a few months down the track when its proved popular.

SEGA and Nintendo used to fight it out with IDEAS and risks...now nobody does it just Nintendo...

dont start on Kinect lmao

I had the opportunity to have all 3 (Xbox, PS2, Gamecube) and although I didn't have a lot of time to play the GC (brother took it in and traded it for an Xbox...then traded THAT in to get a PS2) and GC had some really great games

What did it? The dope ass cd and dvd player that accompanied it. Oh i forgot that was the PS2

that you can play your dvd's and music cd's on and also play Madden and other games

online against competition. Gamecube had some good kiddie friendly games but come on it

was crazy weak for sports games. No grown ass man had better not tell me he bought

Madden or NBA games for Gamecube.

Shit i would've never paid 600 dollars for a game system. The execs at Sony must have

bumped their damn head. That's why everybody was losing their damn minds. I saw where

muthafuckas set this dude up at Wal Mart at midnight when they launched it. The dude that

purchased the system had on a Carolina Panthers jersey and bought the game and these cats

followed him home and soon as he got out his car they made him give it up at gunpoint . That's fucked up if you don't have nothing better to do at 2 in the morning and plan to jack somebody for their game system.

Yes 600 dollars definitely slowed their sales but once Sony wised up a bit and dropped the price

sales went up. Hell that and numerous Best Buy cards i had saved for up to a year is the

I don't play sports games at all. And I hate this "kiddie games" argument. Do you really feel more mature to play basketball on a console than to jump around in a colorful world? REALLY?

The Gamecube had better graphics than the PS2 and a few very nice exclusive games. These are facts.

And a console is for GAMING, it doesn't need to play cd's and dvd's. I have enough technical devices that can do that. I even dont need a telephone that is able to make pictures. Nintendo concentrates on gaming, and they do an excellent job in that field.

Sorry you feel that way. Maybe that's just it. You don't get the thrill and competition from the big boy games which is Madden and the NBA. I'm not in Mario and other games targeted for kids.

I don't know what you mean by jumping around into a colorful world if that is Mario no thank

you, i'd prefer to jump with my Playstation Move controllers and slam dunk on Michael Jordan. A console is for gaming? No shit Sherlock. Technology is a motherfucker isn't it. It's a

matter of convenience. If you're traveling with your PS2 or PS3, you have a cd player and

a dvd player handy when staying at a hotel. If you feel that the Gamecube was better than

PS2 then that's your perogative to feel that way. The cats i know didn't fuck with Gamecube.

They all had Playstation. I'm not going to debate endlessly in this thread about this. It's useless

imo. Let's just agree to disagree. Playstation 3 rocks!

So you don't have your own mind and it does count more what others think?

And no, mario games are not targeted at kids alone. They're for everyone with an open mind, heart and soul.

Oh, btw, I never said the Gamecube was better. I like all the consoles, but it is a simple fact that it had a better graphic card than the PS2. That's all. But maybe "big boys" who play sports games dont get that.....

Who the fuck said anything about me politicking with others on game consoles? I

simply said the cats i know have Playstations. Dude you're the only one debating in

this thread about a damn Gamecube. News flash. Gamecube is over. Who cares? Really?

What's next a debate over Atari and Intellivision? Like i stated before in case you were

blind to it we agree to disagree.

I remember that That was going on out here in San Francisco, muthafuckas were getting jumped for PS3

Another thing I have to give Nintendo is they've rarely had issues with the hardware

Another thing I have to give Nintendo is they've rarely had issues with the hardware

Hey Wii is cool. Their line of fitness games is impressive and it's cheaper which

makes it a little more attractive to the thrifty consumer than the other game consoles.

For me i just felt like i would get more bang for my buck with PS3 and i've been more impressed with the Sports Champions game for PS3 than Wii sports. Everybody i'm quite sure gets the gaming system that best suits them. I'm really diggin Tekken too for PS3.
