Wii U will be ready for E3 2012 |
Listed in: News Tags: e3 2012, GameCube, nintendo sales projectsins, wii u
It's been a rough year for Nintendo. Their price drops have caused them nothing but financial grief but they're looking toward the future with what they hope to bring to the gaming world, and E3 may be just that.
During an investor conference, the company posted their financial results, which we've all heard and Iwata explained that E3 2012 will feautre the final version of the Wii U. This hyped up the expectations of fans and investors alike.
Iwata was remorseful about the recent financial news but said "As we learned the bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch." Without a good launch, Nintendo may be thrown back to a GameCube-like era of financial success. A post-64 world where people forgot about their old gems because of new gen hype.
For Nintendo to make back their money and for them to stop their parabolic fall from grace, they will need a killer ad campaign for Wii U. I personally think the way that they've focused on the family gamer was a good idea for their first series of ads with someone could literally share the screen with someone and not be an asshat about it. But maybe that's not where the dollar is in 2012, I just wish the best for Nintendo as they will need to convince me with some good games to get Wii U.

Why wouldn't it be ready for E3 2012? So of course it will. If anything they will have "something". They could call it FINAL or whatever they want, fact is, they can always make changes.
The Wii U wont be FINAL until you have it in your hot little hands (retail).

I don't know about you, but I don't miss bad connectors, game's freezing, and having to clean or blow in cartridges after a couple of years.
And one last thing... you do realize that you can set your systems to auto-load a game disk without going to the menu first, right?
Problem solved.

Actually, the reason we have loading times is because of the medium we load from. If your games all came on high speed ROM modules then the games would load up right away just like the old school carts.
"I don't miss bad connectors, game's freezing, and having to clean or blow in cartridges after a couple of years."
That's because you BLEW on them. Had you used an eraser or contact cleaner instead then the problem would have gone away for another 3 years.
