I found several hints on GAF of this being true. I honestly didn't believe the crossover rumors. A new FPS/TPS IP from Nintendo would really help to bring in the hardcore, and Star Fox + Metroid didn't make any sense anyway. 

Better update the title.

Same thread as before.

Some more translations just came in... Looking good so far, but I'm still wondering how much "less powerful" it is than Xbox 8, and the lack of triggers is dissapointing. 

But on the bright side, UNREAL ENGINE 4 CONFIRMED!  (maybe)



>Wii U has 2GB of RAM, 560MB of that are for the OS
>supports DX11, they managed to port Unreal Engine 4 on it
>less powerful than Xbox 8
>2 tablet-pads are supported
>Release Date: 23 November
>Ubisoft will bring Rayman Legends, ACIII, Rabbids Party, Killer Freaks, The Avengers and Just Dance 4 on it
>That little button under the D-Pad on the left of the controller is somehow linked to the Wii Vitality Sensor
>No Analog R2/L2 unlike 360 controller/DualShock3 

These rumors are getting out of control, but most of it seems true.

I hope the price point of 400 dollars is not be true. I can only afford the console at max fot 350 dollars.

If true, almost all of them are really good news: I'm happy for the 2 pads supported, not that much for the price.. i hope they end up with 350..

The fact that it's less powerful than the Xbox 8 is not really a surprise, for the technical things though, can somebody tell me if they're good or bad?

A 6ghz dev-kid: What does he mean? A 6ghz CPU? It sounds BS.

Now we need to define "less powerful"

Unless the OS is windows, which I doubt because that would mean paying Microsoft (their competitor) money for each console sold, the system will not play any form of DirectX. Unreal engine also uses OpenGL so it is compatible with iOS and other OS's that use this API. (PS3, etc) So that shoots the creditablity of this person right off the bat.

The Wii U will probally use a custom version of OpenGL ES 3.0 since it is probally the biggest graphic API out right now. (Android, iOS, PS3, 3DS and the funny thing even Windows Mobile use this API).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_ES (lists support or major devices in the bottom of the article. The PS3 uses v1.0; 3DS uses v1.1)

So, according to the recent rumors, the Wii U is a very powerful machine.

I paid 400 for my PS3.  And I will pay another 400 if it is a true next-gen console.
