По слухам ЕА старается убедить Нин использовать Origin как основной онлайн сервис на Wii U, а Valve предлагает Steam.

EA is apparently trying to convince Nintendo to use the company’s Origin platform as the main online service for Wii U, whilst Valve is trying to get Nintendo to use the immensely popular Steam. EA however is apparently putting a lot of pressure on Nintendo to exclusively use Origin. Which service would you rather see?

Рэджи заявляет, что начальная цена 3дс была слишком велика.
Такой фигни не будет с Wii U.

“The initial price on the 3DS was also too high, something that Nintendo will be careful about this time around.”

“We had to go back and reduce the price of 3DS and we certainly don’t want to go through that when we launch Wii U.”

Японские разрабы делятся инфой о начинке WiiU:

Quad Core, 3 GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU, very similar to the Xbox 360 chip.
768 MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU, and shared between CPU and GPU
Unknown, 40nm ATI-based GPU

На 50% мощней PS3 или X360 по их словам:

Wii U покажут в январе на выставке CES.

Nintendo is bringing the Wii U to CES and I’ll be getting more hands-on with the tablet-console hybrid to build on my impressions from E3 2011. Nintendo has historically skipped over CES, but it’s great to hear the company will have a presence there in 2012.

Интересное заявления от Рэджи о цене Wii U
Будет значительно дороже Вии. Вии сейчас дешевая, поэтому если цена будет больше в 2 раза - это значительно, я думаю

The market is going to continue to differentiate based on the types of experiences that consumers want. As an example, if I’m the head of a household of a family of four, and my disposable income is $50,000 to $60,000, I’m going to continue to look at the Wii because of the software, and it’s a great entertainment device. For consumers who want to have the latest gadgets and have a higher disposable income, that’s for the Wii U.

We haven’t announced pricing or availability or any other details, but given the current pricing of the Wii, it’s not going to be there.

We’ve been very clear, the market is going to decide how long these products will coexist side by side. Our goal is to launch the Wii U and drive it into the marketplace, but it will speak to a different consumer than the one that is buying the Wii today during the holidays.

Сейчас смешные цены на вии в америке, так что и 250 баксов значительно
Хотя всякое может быть.

Wii U owners will be able to use apps that operate on the Wii U itself, such as MLB.TV, and others that run independently on the Wii U’s controller. Given its tablet-like design and 6.2-inch screen, it’s not hard to imagine being able to check email, browse the Web, post to social networks and even get some gaming in

Возможно

Nintendo is also apparently looking to launch a digital e-reader type service where you can download books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and other publications to your Wii U console. These publications would then stream to your Wii U controller’s touch-screen.

По словам Рэджи, нас будут кормить маленькими порциями информации в течении всего года

“So essentially we will be sharing information throughout the entire year. I won’t say that you’re going to have to wait until E3, but we certainly aren’t breaking new information here – no launch date, no launch price, no software line-up. But we will be sharing a lot of information all through the year on how we will be driving Wii U into households”.

Нас не парит, что будут делать конкуренты. Мы делаем новый опыт, чтобы покупатель сказал: "Я хочу купить Wii U, чтобы получить новые ощущения"

“So, you know, we’re fortune that we drive our own innovation agenda. We don’t care what any of the… we don’t care what the gaming competitors are doing. We don’t care what’s happening in the broader entertainment landscape. What we’re looking to do is drive a great new experience that’s going to be compelling, that’s going to have consumers say, ‘I have to buy the Wii U to get this new experience.’”

День догадок и слухов продолжается.
Возможно Retro Studios работает над Star Fox для Wii U.

“While some suggest this new project is likely to be a return to the Metroid franchise, we’d love to see another Nintendo hero get the retro stamp of excellence. After all, having rolled out the barrels for Donkey Kong, perhaps it’s time Retro pulled off a barrel roll of a different kind.”
