a good rant on the wii U

Nintendo over E3 has shows their new system the wii u, and wile its my jobs as the customer and thinker that i am to go on a rant about the thing. i well say that it has already sold millions before being in stores. THAT SAID. im still going to go on a rant about it.

first, it seams the whole thing is about the controller, which is good since every game system these days has motion controls, has HD graphics, internet play, a online game store, and other none gaming options like Netflix, hulu.
its good to see Nintendo is always thinking out side the box and looking for what can make the Wii U different then the rest.
the controller looks nice, and has a tablet looking sytle with a 6 inch touch screen in the middle of the screen, what scares me is the feel of the controller would it be annoying to hold for a few hours of game play? not from what iv bin hearing, but we shal she when i get one.

though the screen is not multi touch, i think that's more then ok since i don't want to much going on, on that small screen any way, and supposedly its a HD screen, which for some games well allow you to switch them over to the controller, and turn off the tv. but something that Nintendo said is that only one controller well be used, but something even more weird is that they also said they would be looking into using more then one of the tablet controllers at a time, but just need ideas.....IM SORRY WHAT!!!
i have a hard time coming up with ideas ware their would be 4 wii controllers and one tablet...that just seams weird to me and i cant come up with much their, HOW EVER with 4 HD screens in every ones hand i can at least come up with 2 grate ways to use 4 controllers that would give the wii u praise time and time again

1) split screen, for any one playing a racing game, PFS, or any game that uses a split screen, this would be amazing, you could turn the tv off its self, OR have it just display things like score boards, and then have each player have their own screen in their hands, no one taking a peek at your screen, and not turning your nice HD screen into a split screen mess.

2) screen share, for any one that plays a sports game, or say a RPG like hunter, you know the agony of one player being far behind and your whole teem have to wait for them to catch up because the screen wont let you keep moving. or when your playing a sports game and who ever has the ball is ware the screen is and now you who dues not have the ball has to see that player and not your own. this also is good for racing games, you would have your motion control in your hands and see out the perspective of your driver with out using a split screen on your TV,wile your TV could show a birds eye view of the track

OH and hear is a 3rd i just thought of.

3) so your playing a party game with turn involved so each player can use the TV one at a time, BUT each player can have all their items, stats, and other such things kept in their hands and off the big screen, this allows you to keep secrets (like items)from other players and be able to better give strategy because the players don't know the items of the other players. and each screen can also have some kind of mini game wile they are waiting for their turn to come up.


ok so that was a good rant on the need for 4 tablet controllers at a time.
BUT their has also bin talk about being able to use the 3DS, wich is cool and should be done, but not in place of the above. it should be for a different kind of experiences, why? for one the 3ds has not the same kind of buttons as its missing a 2 triggers or (ZL, ZR) and the second circle pad, so for some games ware you need those you would be SOL. and that's poor planing. not to mention hitting the home button on the 3DS would most likely log you out of what ever mode you were in to use it with the wii U, also the screen of the 3DS is smaller and none HD.
BUT in some cases it would be nice to use a 3DS, it has most of the other things, and has a second screen that's is....IN 3D, every one in the family could watch the same 3D movie in different parts of the house/room watching in glasses free 3D and they could all stream at the same time making it a family/shared experience.
their is also linking a 3DS game to the system with a game that takes place on both systems and by using the 3DS you can unlock new kinds of game play on your tv with the same control.YAY

ok so if we pay attention to the video of the Wii U showing off its hard ware in its video hear we can brake it down to get some other tid bits of info they dont say directly

(video thanks to IGN)

at :35 you well notice a drawing app/game this would most likely be something built in from day one as freeware because it would be a BIG part of the controller using the stylus and touch screen. and since they made a point of making it the second thing shown on the controller its something they want us to know it can do.

:50 they want you to know that it can be used much like a tablet device away from the tv, as they make a point more then once to show a couple playing a game using one controller, you can be sure that the eshop for the wii u well be filled with games like this. chess, checkers, tik tak toe, and the like well be sure to be on the system, or even games ware you pass the controller around and each player dues something to add to the project, think of crazy ways of using the telephone game with the wii tablet controller.

1:10 they want to show us that the controller well be used a lot with the wii controller, this well allows for some privet experiences in your own hands, and a different the player who needs more room to SWING away with the wiiremote well have use of the TV.

1:20 they also want to show that the controller can sync with a player OR be used with all players sharing the tablet as a second screen, your TV becomes a panoramic view, as ware the tablet becomes the floor.

1:34 showing again that the controller can take the game play AWAY from the TV, but also showing that they can do so with the other wii hard ware like the balance board.
and now it makes new options with a touch screen controller.

1:54 you can see that the controller can be like a augmented reality of your own tv, this would allows each player to see their own view of the TV.

2:09 clearly they are showing that the new controller can be used as a VISUAL INTERACTION BUTTON, which just means that the touch screen shows a object and when you touch/move the object on the touch screen it dues something on your TV, but it delivers the same response as just pressing (A), BUT not with graphics. what they dont tell you though is that the motion controlls are also part of this, which is kind of a given, BUT its something you may have not thought about.

2:18 they show video calling, OK so FINELY they figure out after all the time that every device to my phone, tablet, DSI, xbox, PS3 and so on needs a camera for some reson or another. and video chat just goes hand and hand with that, BUT what i would like to see is ONE the camera be better then the 3DS, and 2 that it also be able to show the person your talking to on the TV. BUT hear is the OTHER thing to notice about the video chat, SURE the tablet has a camera, but Nintendo has said more then once that they want the 3DS to interact with the new system, what a grate way to do that if the 3DS could video chat the Wii U.

2:30 OK for some reason they come up with a new way to view the internet by having some sort of magnifying glass effect using the TV and tablet....this sounds both interesting and ANNOYING. BUT it would be interesting to see some fun things come of it.

2:40 hear is one to scream about!!!, if you look right at the TV you can see it using youtube, BUT not as a app, but on the web browser, (how do i know its not a app) WELL the first wii already had flash, it could use youtube AND other video sits, yes even porn videos, also the system could play flash games, some web sites even made flash games just for the wii, so its no suprice really that flash would be on the system but its nice to know its their, NOW if it would just come to the 3DS.....and HTML5

2:57, no suprice it can be used much like the DS/3DS as a second screen for maps, and menus. keeping clutter off the TV and putting it on a easy to use touch screen in your hands.

now that the video is over their is a lot of secret details to be held YAY for us. it also might be backwards to gamecube (no word) BUT it could just use a wireless version of the gamecube controller, and just use internal memorie for saving since their is word of 8GB hard drive and the option to attach a USB hard drive to the system. OR their could also be the other way of doing things, SINCE the game cube controller has the same minimal buttons as the new tablet controller, you may just see GC games being DLC to the Wii U.

now we got lots of time before the system comes out, and their is not even a for sure date yet, BUT the system looks good, and their are plenty of more rumers to go around, and things to put on the wish list of what to add/take away. and personalty i think their is only room to grow on. the only thing i can say about the controller really is that i wish it had a compasitive OLED screen, OLED looks amazing and for a HD screen would just be .....their are no words really, as you well soon find out on the PSvita. and compasitive is just how OLED words, so oh well.

more later as the story develops

my thoughts on E3 2011

E3 2011

LOTS of BIG topics and thoughts

NEW Nintendo home system
The biggest one has to be Nintendo with its 5 year policy on a home system now that it has bin 5 years its time for the next system to come out. 2 big names have come out “project café” and “stream”
Both names suggest that the system well be more focused around social gaming and internet use.
Rummers are flooding out that the system well not just have HD graphics but beat our 360 and PS3.
That the system well work with the wii controller (so motion gaming well still be around) and a new controller that has a touch screen (around 6 inches is the word) and that the system can “stream” video to the controller to use for things like split screen gaming, or menus, even games during loading time.
The system is also said to have 3D capability but wont be a focus of the system. Their has also bin talk of the system doing away with friend codes (see better online play) and combining the 3DS with game play options. That said Nintendo has said the new system well be shown at E3 and be playable at the show. But not much elce is known about the system, but of course rumors are also flooding out over it having blue ray, hard drive, DLC for games, have a new and better wii style controller, be more media friendly like xbox, (music and video service, and none game options) and look like a modern SNES system. But we well have to waite and see, but we do know that the thing is real

DLC for big games
Im sure their well be lots of DLC content for big games that have come out, or are coming out, duke nukem, mortal kombat, portal 2, exe their has bin some word on 2 new characters coming to mortal kombat (kintaro, lady in red). But not much elce has bin said

Motion games like crazy
Now that 360 and PS3 have their own motion controllers to string out the life of their systems for another 2-3 years there is sure to be a bunch of new games announced for the 2 motion controllers (kinect and move) their has bin much word on a star wars game coming for kinect that has pod racing and light saber fights. But it sounds at this point to just be a party game, still waiting for something for the core gamer to be announced.

3DS
Now that it’s out id like to hear what Nintendo has planned for the system what direction they plan on taking the system and what new games can we see coming to the stores and E-shop what kinds of apps their might be that are gaming centric and how it might work in game play with the new home system.

On a side note im hopping that their well be a game shark or action replay for the 3DS coming out

NGP
Still wondering if that well be the official name or not, personally I think and if I were sony I would want to kill the PSP name as it never sold for any thing and it would be grate to see them try to think on a new mind set for the system instead of being stuck in old ways that don’t work.
But for E3 I know there is going to be lots of news about the system. But I still have to put my 2 cents in, I never single out a system as good or bad, just which I want first. Luckily for me 3DS game out befor NGP so I got that choice made for me. And I am happy using the system even though there is not much out for games other then sims 3 and pilot wings or for those of you that like nintendogs.
But im sure they well show a lot of what NGP can do, we know it has a touch pad on the back and touch screen, that its very round and has a a second thumb stick, the most exciting part for me is not the front and rear camera, and the more social gaming aspects but that it has a OLED screen. Im still on the edge of my seat waiting for 3D OLED tv’s to come out. But the only thing in my mind that could compete with a OLED screen is a glasses free 3D screen. (unless their was both at the same time) and so I have to say that im happy to have both systems and can enjoy the use of both kinds of screen on each system, and for different reasons. But im kind of scared that sony might make the system to mature for users and get bypassed again by Nintendo. In both hand held and home. Comments like “no self respecting gammer would use a 3DS” well im sorry but I think the same thing about your rave glow ball motion controller, no self respecting gamer would wave around a glowing ball like their at a rave with a glow stick. (or was that the plan to get the raver demographic) eather way I well still get a NGP my self buy hope that sony can make something better out of it this time around rather then making it out into something that no one buys and then I have something I cant social game with…again.

To sum up
Other then that, there are lots of gaming coming for sure for the new Nintendo system, for wii, xbox and PS3 just as is, but hopefully their can be a few more suprises coming to the table that we don’t know by now. But you can bet that every one well be trying their hardest to report befor the big show. We got 2 new hand helds out/coming have 2 new motion controls for xbox and PS3, and we have a new Nintendo home system coming soon. So knowing the games coming to them is lots to be excited about.

new wii controller

iv bin trying to hold out till i got some E3 news before i said any thing about this, BUT now that mario,zelda, smash-brothers creator has said something about it, i think that it would be safe to say something. Nintendo has never gone more then 5 years without making a new system. SO ugh hem, its getting about that time.

a lot of bloggers and such have bin all a buzz about what we might see at E3 this year, BUT now that MR. Miyamoto has said something about them making the new system we are all set for what might happen at E3. but now to the rummer mill shale we?

ok now that Miyamoto has said that the system well most likely be announced at this years E3. the thing to now ask is what can it do?

well we really have no idea, and we could make some good guesses like enhanced motion controls, better online play, more media options, and HD graphics. BUT thats all the basics. though i well say their are a lot of rumors saying that the system well be not just a notch up but well be taking a lot of horse power this time.

but what people are really talking about is the new controller their are lots of rumors that it well have a 6 inch touch screen and be HD compatible have 2 thumb sticks and have a camera. BUT well still be backwards compatible to wii games, of course none of this is proven BUT lets not stop us from wishing and thinking.
so is the system is backwards compatible that tells me it well still work with the wii-remote (clearly) and thus probably keeping it as the controller of choice for most games even new ones, BUT i wouldn't be surprised if their is a new controller for the system that is just a bit different. also i am hopping after seeing what kinect can do that Nintendo dues something with a camera, what i like about kinect is that it can do so much more then just be a camera, or take away your controller, it can just be a add on that makes games better. and the HD graphics and rummered blue ray player in the system is taking off as well. but i still move back to the controller. just thinking of the options that it would bring. as far as maps, menues, co-op, multiplyer, text, messaging, video chat, and much more, even to question if it would also have 3D or the system its self support 3D. lots of think about but im sure that nintendo WHEN it dues show its new system that it well make it worth wile just like the Wii, which if we remember was called "project revelation" and sure enough MS and sony fallowed by adding their own motion controlls. but something nintendo fell short on with the wii was social gaming, and the name for their system right now is "project cafe" wich to me sounds like social gaming is a BIG theme, which it also was with the 3DS so im eger to see what nintendo has in mind if that is the case.
