Not entirely sure but production starts after Kid Icarus in october I think.
Also, at Comic-Con they had a lounge with all the new games coming out including Skyward Sword and you best believe I played them all! They were all really cool.

Sometime in 2012 apparently.
I would wait a year before I even though about buying it if I were you. Aside from the Dreamcast's launch, all consoles have jack **** as launch titles.

true on the part about bad launch titles. Nintendo really should start trying to focus on making games that are a part of a series that actually make them money.

SNORLAX
Exactly. They continuously pump out Ice Climbers games and we haven't seen a Zelda game in ages despite it being one of their most popular franchises.
/sarcasm
In other words: What are you smoking? Nintendo always makes games based off of their biggest money makers. That's why we see a million Mario and Pokemon games but Pikmin and Eternal Darkness go ignored.

uhh....what the hell are you talking about, I haven't seen a single popular franchise game come out within the last month.

Do you know how long it TAKES to make a game? Of course you're not going to get a new LOZ or PKM or Mario EVERY month. We certainly see those guys much more often then we do F-Zero

So, switching topics:
Thoughts on online play, anyone? Perhaps we'll see the long desired Pokemon MMORPG on the Wii U.

Pikaville returns 10 years later.
A pokemon MMO would be siiiiick.

Well based on info development of the Wii-U doesn't start out until later on. A lot can change then and people's minds might change as well as far as purchase due to the games coming out or for what ever reasons.
Online wise I just hope Wifi won't be a fail like Brawl was...

Well, the reason why Brawl online is so bad is because in Brawl there's a code that makes the game have a minimum of 6 frames of input delay iirc.
What I'd like to see online specifically for Smash is a revamped online and friend system. I felt like Brawl lacked a lot of stuff to do online and if there was things to do, they were limited.

If Nintendo put out a Pokemon MMO WoW would be done.
Hopefully we'll see more worthwhile stuff at launch.
Thankfully, Nintendo did away with friend codes. Lets just hope it isn't laggy as hell again.

That and then the very rare cravings to play those 2 minute BBs and TBs to disconnect at stupid times or for no reason because Wifi wanted to be ******** then sending you back to the main menu to reconnect. I'll never forget that one day I wanted to play and I got 3 error messages saying I lost connections to the other players just as I got to the stage select in a row to be brought back to the main menu...

I'm hoping the Wii-U has better online such as DLC content and such, to be completly honest, it's bad enough that the Wii-U doesn't already support a DVD function, much less Blu- Ray support, the technology is pretty much at least a decade old so I don't really see why it would be an issue, aside from slashing budget costs of course.
Ok, as for the online part, Nintendo definetly needs to have better online support meaning no lag, I believe if it's specifications are higher than those of the PS3 and possibly the 360's I don't see why the Wii-U can't at least be on par with them as far as online goes.
I'm hopeful for Nintendo change, even if it's a so called "gimmicky" system I'll still look forward to any of it's exclusives and of course it's main features such as it's built in screen.

Whats even more stupid is that putting in a DVD player wouldn't raise the price at all, since these days you can get one at Walmart for $20.
It should be, since they're letting publishers set up their own online.
I just hope I end up actually playing the Wii U rather than have it collect dust.I'm hopeful for Nintendo change, even if it's a so called "gimmicky" system I'll still look forward to any of it's exclusives and of course it's main features such as it's built in screen.

It's only been out for a few months in NA...give it some time. It was the same with the DS when it launched I think.
Wait till all the games start rolling in. And a price drop. And a 3DS Lite.
finalark
SNORLAX
Pretty much. Right now the 3DS doesn't have anything worthwhile on it (you can play OoT on the N64, GCN or Wii) but once better titles are released and the second model is out things will probably pick up speed.Wait till all the games start rolling in. And a price drop. And a 3DS Lite.
Unless the Vita some how manages to beat the 3DS. But you never know, stranger things have happened.

If anyone wants my opinion on the 3DS launch, I'm disappointed and I think that Nintendo dropped the ball on it. They should've had a Mario/Zelda game as a launch title like they always do.

I personally think they should have waited until summer and used OoT as a launch title.

I agree. And sorry about derailing this thread, I do hope that the Wii U has some good launch titles, a good online system (similar to XBL/PSN) and is priced competitively along the lines of the current generation systems.
If Nintendo can successfully re-target the 'hardcore' audience, I will seriously consider buying a Wii U at launch.

I will agree it was a bad time to launch it but I'm betting the new games that will come out later on will make up a little for their short comings at launch. Hopefully they won't do the same thing with thr Wii-U when it comes out.

I think the price will be pretty competitive. In my opinion, the current PS3 and 360 have several "models" to them, but even the most expensive one will be cheaper than the Wii U.
If the Wii U is the exact same price as the PS3 currently, then holy cow that would be crazy good for them. But that will probably also mean they will be taking a hit on money and relying on games and software to make up for it.
I expect Sony and Microsoft to have a price drop to keep themselves competitive with Wii U.

I have to agree. It's the only reason why I continue to care about Pokemon in the first place.

The only game I'm hyped for is That new Tekken game that's been announced, I don't mind paying $60 if it comes down to it.
As for the Wii-U, I would gladly pay up to $500 on launch date, I'm not really concerned about the price but rather it's online settings and such.

500 bucks for a gimmick console and "old" graphics? No thanks.
With that being said, I doubt it's gonna be that much. No one would buy it. Economy is much worse than it was some 5 years ago.

What do you mean by "old"? Please clarify..
As for it being $500, yea I guess it's a bit high but nonetheless even if it is a "gimmicky" console and not traditional enough I'm am still willing to pay that much for it, alot of people may not agree with me but I am actually looking forward to this new style of play, besides, I already own a bunch of traditional consoles, I really wouldn't want another one.

if i format it will i also lose my WII shop data? like alll the VC games i've downlaoded ect? and have to buy em allll over again? ._.;
reason i ask is cuz i've found no solutions to my problem to get warioland shake it to work again, and i'm 99% sure that it happened because of the hacks i had on my wii, where i had to change the IOS or w/e its called.
i can't find the original for download anywhere so my only hope at this point(least i hope it will work) is to format my wii and bring it back to factory settings.
but i DEFINATLY don't wanna have to buy all my VC games all over again....

Honestly, I think $500 is too much for any consoles and the Wii-U will be no exception. The most I can see myself paying for it is $400 max.The only game I'm hyped for is That new Tekken game that's been announced, I don't mind paying $60 if it comes down to it.
As for the Wii-U, I would gladly pay up to $500 on launch date, I'm not really concerned about the price but rather it's online settings and such.
Also, only Tekken? Don't lie, I know you can't wait for SSB4.

Tell that to Microsoft and Sony. I bought my 360 back in 2007 for $500.

The most it should have cost you was $400 (Which is IIRC, the most expensive brand they had). Did you get anything else with your Xbox 360? If that, that was definitely a rip-off.Tell that to Microsoft and Sony. I bought my 360 back in 2007 for $500.

I believe it was $500 here in Canada when it launched.
Pro 360 console 20 GB with a free game.
I hope the Wii U is affordable and not too expensive.

I'm hoping it's at least les than $300
When I first noticed the Wii, I think it was at $240 or $245 and then next time I think it dropped $100.
