*** Official Nintendo Wii U thread ***

[Begbie]

I can see a pre order price of the Wii U Console of £199.99

On the jungle? Think its been taken down?

Nope its still there, think its worth it? Ahh I shouldn't be buying stuff like this!

 

[Broken Hope]

I want the next generation of consoles to be capable of offering a game that looks/behaves like Watch Dogs did at the E3 demo.

Considering Watch Dogs is supposed to be coming out on the PS360 then that's going to happen fairly soon.

If it runs like it did in the e3 demo on the 360/ps3 I will eat my hat.

I imagine it will be a gimped version of the PC game.

 

[Shamikebab]

Indeed, it simply won't look like that on this gens consoles.

 

[wedgie]

Prepare to be very disappointed if you're expecting to play the Watch Dogs you saw at E3 on current consoles .

I've ordered as Im after one away on release. If the RRP turns out to be cheaper then even better

 

[Koalaboy]

It's certainly getting interesting. That means I have two pre-orders in so far, and we'll keep waiting to see which one lasts (or if any more come along).

I seriously doubt the July 12th prediction from Amazon though...

its on the rainforest place for £199.99

 

[Kreeeee]

I can't see it on there, just a pre order notification link and no price.

Not necessarily the case, two words...

Don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere but, inflation has added about a 1/3 of the price of consumer goods since the Wii's launch. When the Wii launched it's RRP was £179.99 with inflation that figure would be around £239.39. To think the jump is quite big and that an Xbox 360's RRP was £279.99 when it was released 7 years ago I think its rather a good deal for a 1080p machine.

You missed it. It finished about 11pm.

While that's true wages haven't kept up with inflation AND the cost of living has gone up. Also savers are currently being screwed over by low interest rates.

It's the same as a company using the argument of exchange rates for putting up prices. It makes sense but all the individual in this country notices is the price goes up. And up.

Amazon just cancelled the 199.99 preorder. Not a great sign.

It's more likely it was just an error... Supposedly the 'white' launches first, and that was on 'notify me', so it could still be that the price was correct but just announced too early.

Of course, it's unlikely any suppliers know the price just yet, as Nintendo will hold their wholesale pricing decision as long as possible.

Interesting times in the next few months

 

[Abooie]

Does the wiiU have a proper online interface?

None of the friend code rubbish?

Will it support mics and can you have "party" chat?

I believe I heard on the latest Giant Bombcast it still uses friend codes.

I read it has a shortened friends code.
