Nintendo Wii U

Βασικά εγώ θα το παρομοίαζα με τα Rayman (Origins/Legends), που είναι retail games. Απλά στα PS3/PS4 βλέπουμε τέτοιας ποιότητας platformers με το σταγονόμετρο...

Το Donkey Kong native 720p και upscaled σε 1080p δεν είναι; Άλλα ντάλα λέει ο Σάκης Καρπάς... επειδή βλέπει στην τηλεόρασή του 1080p ένδειξη, δεν σημαίνει τίποτα. Και το BF4 στο PS4 1080p σήμα στέλνει μέσω HDMI. Την έχω κατακρίνει πολλάκις αυτή την πρακτική (βλ. XBOX360 games), μιας και παραπλάνει τον κοσμάκη.

Όσο για τα cross-gen games, με τον ρυθμό που αυξάνεται η εγκατεστημένη βάση των next-gen consoles (το PS4 πουλάει πιο γρήγορα από τα PSX/PS2/PS3 και κοντεύει να ξεπεράσει το install base του Wii U), θα σταματήσουν να ασχολούνται σύντομα με cross-gen ports σε PS3/XBOX360 (με εξαίρεση κανά ποδοσφαιράκι). Οπότε σιγά μην κάτσουν να ασχοληθούν με το Wii U που δεν έχει καν την ίδια εγκατεστημένη βάση.

Κατά τα άλλα ωραίο παιχνίδι το Donkey Kong, αλλά ακόμα δεν έχω δει δει παιχνίδι του Wii U να φτάνει τα φωτορεαλιστικά γραφικά του TLOU (βλ. κοντινά πλάνα της Ellie). Εν αναμονή του Zelda 3D...

ο κοσμος που δεν ξερει λεει 1080p ο κοσμος ομως που γνωριζει και ψαχνετε λιγακι τοτε δεν λεει 1080p αλλα αναφερει την πραγματικη αναλυση. Εδω υπαρχουν ακομα καποιοι που λενε "μα εγω εχω 100mbps συνδεση ετσι μου λεει κατω στα windows"

Όποιος σκέφτεται για Wii U και δεν έχει πρόβλημα να είναι εκθεσιακό, στον Κώτσο Αγίας Παρασκευής παίζει εκθεσιακό το bundle με το Nintendoland από τα 319 ευρώ, στα 95 ευρώ. Στο τσακ ήμουν, αλλά επειδή σίγουρα θα κάθεται, δεν το πήρα. Σας έχω δώσει τις καλύτερες πληροφορίες ever ρε γμτ μου, τι άλλο πια να κάνω Η τιμή είναι γενική, όχι λόγω εκθεσιακού. Απλώς δύσκολα να υπάρχει και αλλού (επαρχία μόνο και αν).

[Nikoladim]

Βλεπω τους Κωστας 13 και Παυλο να παιζουν μπουκετα (μεσω VC Punch out στο ΝΕS βεβαια) εξω απο τον Κωτσο Αγ Παρασκευης για το κομματι!!!

[Dragonpaul]

Μπααα... I'll pass. Εχω τρομερό θεμα με τα second hand, ποσο μάλλον εκθεσιακα κομμάτια.
Αλλα, Δημητρη, respect!!!!

[psx3]

Όταν λέμε εκθεσιακό να υποθέσω ότι έχει ξεσκιστεί να διαβάζει το laser;

[Dragonpaul]

Ε, μα ασφαλώς!!!!

The Wii U is now as old as the Dreamcast was when it was killed off. It has sold around half the number Dreamcast had by this point.

Τα 10+ εκ του Dreamcast σε ανάλογο διάστημα δεν είναι και 100% fact αλλά μου φάνηκε ενδιαφέρον σαν στατιστικό στοιχείο.

Nintendo’s Results for FY 2013 Are Out: Wii U Reaches 6.17 Million Lifetime Sales, 3DS 43 Million, Worse than Expected


Αχ.... που ειναι εκεινες οι παλιες καλες μερες που καποιοι ελεγαν ποσο μια χαρα ειναι το WiiU και ποσο ανταγωνιστικο και οτι θα πουλησει φορτηγα ολοκληρα και ποσο δελεαστικη προταση ειναι και δεν χρειαζεται hardware και και και...

well... με τις υγιειες της!

Nintendo just published its financial results for Fiscal Year 2014, and they don’t look overly positive, proving worse than what indicated by previous forecast modifications .
We also learn that the Wii U has sold 6.17 million units in its lifetime as of March 31st, while the 3DS reached the much more flattering amount of 43.33 million units. Wii U software sales now total 32.28 million, while 162.92 million 3DS games have been sold.
Hardware sales in fiscal year 2013 were 12.2 million for the 3DS and 2.7 million for the Wii U. In the past year 3DS software sales reached almost 68 million, while Wii U game sales stopped just short of 19 million.

Here’s the full breakdown of sales for hardware and software divided by model and region:

We also get some data about the sales performance of key titles as of March 31st:

• Pokθmon X & Y: 12.26 million
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf: 3.8 million (this year, 7.66 million overall)
• Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon: over 2 million
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: over 2 million
• Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: over 2 million
• Super Mario 3D World: over a million
• New Super Mario Bros. U: over a million
• New Super Luigi U: over a million

The company promised to strive to continue providing key software titles for the 3DS in order to generate “robust profits.”
On the Wii U front, the press release mentions that Nintendo intends to focus on efforts to stimulate the platform, by providing games that take advantage of the GamePad, utilizing its built-in capabilities with near field communication. In addition to this, Nintendo DS virtual console titles to the line-up of the Wii U. The company will also “seek to enrich the value” of the GamePad itself, which is seen as the most important differentiating factor from the competition, and to proactively improve the digital distribution business via the eShop.
An extensive statement about the future management policies for the company was also made:

In the belief that the true value of entertainment lies in individuality, Nintendo continues to provide unique products and services by positioning as its core management strategy the dedicated video game platform business of hardware and software integration, in which Nintendo can best leverage its strengths. In addition, by introducing Nintendo Network IDs and taking advantage of smart devices, for example, Nintendo strives to strengthen its efforts to build a long-term relationship with its consumers and expand the market of its own platforms.
Moreover, by redefining entertainment as something that improves people’s QOL (Quality of Life) in enjoyable ways, Nintendo aims to deploy a new platform business that improves people’s QOL in enjoyable ways in a new field that is different from that of dedicated video game systems. The first theme will be health, and Nintendo plans to capitalize on being an entertainment company in devising a unique approach of its own.
In addition, Nintendo strives to utilize its abundance of character IP more actively, providing its IP with more exposure in places other than video games, while achieving a certain level of profit from its licensing business at the same time.
With its mission to pleasantly surprise consumers and put smiles on the faces of everyone it touches, Nintendo will continue to offer new and unique propositions and contribute to the development of the home entertainment industry.

The negative difference with the previous forecast was chalked to the fact that Wii U and 3DS hardware sales did not reach expected levels. The increase of operating loss was mentioned to be due to the increase in inventory write-down and higher research and development costs in addition to the decrease of net sales.

We also get some forecast for the current fiscal year, ending on March 31st 2015:

Nintendo predicts to sell 12 million 3DS units and 3.6 million Wii U consoles in FY 2014. On the software front the forecast is of 67 million 3DS games and 2 Million Wii U titles moved.

Πρέπει να αλλάξει στάση στο μέλλον η Nintendo με τις κονσόλες της. Σε μερικά χρόνια που (δυστυχώς) oι handheld κονσόλες θα γίνουν obsolete, αν θέλει να σωθεί σαν εταιρεία θα πρέπει να σκεφτεί πόσο σκατά επιλογές έκανε με το U.

να πω οτι δεν θα το επαιζα ακομα και αν εβγαινε σε ps4...αλλα ενταξει καταλαβαινω εχει το δικο του κοινο και φαινεται στο ειδος του οτι δεν υπαρχει κατι αλλο/καλυτερο

[Lefteris_X]

εμ αυτό είναι καθαρά θέμα "γεύσης" και προτίμησης Πάρη.

Ας πούμε για παράδειγμα, ότι αν έβγαινε ποτέ στο PS4, θα το αγόραζα ακόμα και στα 70 ευρώ (ενώ αντίστοιχα για το BF4 δεν δίνω ούτε καν 10 ευρώ, έτσι για τον χαβαλέ που λέμε να δω πως είναι).

άρα; περί ορέξεως κολοκυθόπιτα!

Ήδη ετοιμάζει νέα κονσόλα η Nintendo

Με το Wii U να εξελίσσεται σε αποτυχία, η Nintendo είναι υποχρεωμένη περισσότερο από ποτέ να κοιτάει το μέλλον. Και αυτό ακριβώς κάνει. Όπως γνωστοποίησε ο πρόεδρος της εταιρείας Satoru Iwata, η Nintendo ετοιμάζει την επόμενη κονσόλα της και μάλιστα ήδη έχει μια καθαρή ιδέα για την κατεύθυνση που θα ακολουθήσει. Πάντως, άμεση προτεραιότητα της Nintendo είναι το Wii U, το οποίο θα έχει την τιμητική του στην Ε3. Σύμφωνα με τον Iwata, η Nintendo θα παρουσιάσει νέα παιχνίδια που εκμεταλλεύονται το Wii U GamePad. Κάποια από αυτά βρίσκονται σε προχωρημένο στάδιο ανάπτυξης, ενώ άλλα είναι σε πρώιμο στάδιο ανάπτυξης. Στόχος της Nintendo είναι η ανάκαμψη του Wii U με τίτλους που αναδεικνύουν τις ξεχωριστές δυνατότητες της κονσόλας.

Wii U Has More Next-Gen 1080p 60fps Games Than Xbox One, PS4

[Update: Call of Duty has been confirmed 720p on the Xbox One, so it's discounted from the list]

Flameproof jockstrap activated: While a lot of fanboys have been clamoring around the Wii U like a wounded puppy, waiting to pounce like a jackal from the shadows, they have missed out on one very important facet of this supposedly underpowered console: Not counting indie titles, it has more native 1080p 60fps games than the Xbox One or PS4.

I'm not even going to waste time leading you around by the nose (though for pageview purposes and time spent on the page metrics, I'm sure everyone at CB would prefer that) but I'm just going to throw down the numbers like an American politician throwing up their hands and taking money not to do their job.

The Wii U has confirmed games to run native 1920x1080p at 60 frames per second: Super Smash Bros. U, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and Rayman Legends.

Super Smash Bros. U was confirmed to run at 1080p, as noted on My Nintendo News. Mario Kart 8 was confirmed to run on the Wii U without a hitch at 60 frames per second when it was unveiled at E3. Bayonetta 2 was labeled 1080p at 60fps via Siliconera, and even if we want to count HD remakes for next-gen such as Wind Waker HD, Digital Trends made it known that the game is 1080p at 60fps. There's also Rayman Legends, once a Wii U exclusive, that also runs 1080p at 60fps, as noted by Digital Foundry.

So we have about six next-gen games running 1080p at 60fps for the Wii U if you include Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate; even if you want to knock off Wind Waker HD as a remake and a game that's not a real next-gen title, that's fine. We still have a nice cache of games on the Wii U that are native 1080p to prove its case.

On the other side of the coin, we look at a list of games running 1080p and/or 60fps for the Xbox One and PS4 and things slim down drastically, almost to the point of non-existence. The list comes courtesy of Neogaf members who were discussing the PS4 versus Xbox One's 1080p and 60fps offerings, as noted on Dualshockers.

There are only a few games on the PS4's side that hits 1080p at 60fps, including:
KillZone: Shadow Fall = 1920Χ1080 (MP=60fps, SP=30fps)
DriveClub = 1920Χ1080 (Targeting 60fps)
Flower = 1920Χ1080 (60fps)
Resogun = 1920Χ1080 (60fps)

Now there's also Warframe and DC Universe Online that are also 1080p at 60fps, but neither of those are native next-gen games; they're ports. That would be the equivalent of looking through the Wii U's eShop and naming all the native 1080p 60fps indie games and Wii ports, and by comparison the Wii U would wipe the floor with the competition in that regard.

But look at that list for the PlayStation 4... while I love what Sony is doing with the console, we can see that Killzone isn't native 60fps, but only 60fps in multiplayer with tons of downscaling of the graphics and visual effects.

We also have DriveClub which may or may not be native 60fps, as it seems as if it's a bit of a toss-up. There's also Flower, but again, if we're counting Flower then we may as well leave Wind Waker HD on the list. That means we have three-and-half games on the PS4 side running 1080p at 60fps.

On the Xbox One side it looks even worse. We have...
Killer Instinct = 1280Χ720 (60fps)
Forza 5 = 1920Χ1080 (60fps)
Call of Duty: GHOSTS = 1920Χ1080

You may as well scratch Call of Duty: Ghosts off that list because it's also going to be 60fps on the Wii U and PS4. That just leaves us with Killer Instinct and Forza Motorsport 5, granted only one of those games is a next-generation title at native 1080p and 60fps.

So what does that leave us with? It leaves us with the Wii U being more next-gen than its supposed bigger, badder, next-gen competitors.

I'm guessing it's looking real salty over in the Sony and Microsoft fanboy camps. This is especially embarrassing for the Xbox One, because it's supposed to be an American muscle car of a gaming console, and it's getting out next-genned by the Wii U. It's like a 1970 Dodge Charger getting out-classed on the track by a tuned-up Honda Civic. Embarrassing.
