Forums - Gaming - Ubisoft Leaks Tons of Wii-U Information

399$



Around the Network

if it has dx11 and Unreal Engine 4 we need nothing more, but some rumors sound real and some so fake, 2 weeks left



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

My guess is that half of what was said here is true (or close to truth) and half is bunk.

Remember the crazy French site which had "inside information" that many scoffed at -- and got the Circle Pad Pro right.

If it is $350 with two tablet controllers ... that would be worth it.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Leaked info says it SUPPORTS 2 tablets,not that it includes 2....



While some of this does sound very good, I'm not going to believe anything I see until Nintendo officially unveils everything at E3. With less than two weeks before the event there really is no point in all these rumors.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

I'm still at a loss as to why they are acting like the Wii was a failure in the first place. And have taken an anit-Wii stance in all of their recent business moves. Why would they release a console for 350-400$ that is outrageous.
These are rumors so I'll take it with a grain of salt, but with E3 2 weeks away we'll have concrete info soon enough.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

The most generous response I can think of is that they tired of the constant dismissal and criticism from third parties and the media, and took that to heart over and above what the consuming public thought. Alternatively, perhaps they somehow figured that their fears of a retracting market via growing disinterest were incorrect, so moves to battle disinterest/expand the market were unnecessary.

 

Less generous response: they got tired of making stuff that isn't focused on traditional gaming.

Least generous response: casualz r stoopid.

Some things sound plausible, mostly the already known or most likely stuff.. others complete bunk ($450 original projected price??? GTFO!) And they mentioned the Vitality Sensor... really? REALLY?!? Obvious troll is obvious lol.

Even $399 is way too high for the Wii U unless Nintendo decided to go balls-to-the-wall with the hardware. From those alleged leaked specs, seems that $300 is still the sweet spot as long as Nintendo can make a bit of profit from each console.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Faker than Pamela Anderson's boobs.

No way is the price $450. No way would Nintendo casually launch on Nov. 23rd. Black Ops 2 launches on Nov.13, if Nintendo is 10 days late, everyone is just going to buy the PS3/360 version and leave the Wii U version in the dust (again). Which right off the hop sends a terrible message to third parties (OMG ... Black Ops 2 bombed on Wii U! What hope does anyone else have?!). DX11 and Unreal Engine 4 stuff is just wishful thinking from a fanboy who's been spending too much time on message boards.
