playstation Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Nintendo Wii U to Launch After March 2012 Nintendo said Friday its new Wii U game console will go on sale during the next fiscal year that begins in April, and the company will look to avoid the problems it has had with its latest handheld. "Based on the bitter experiences we have had with the Nintendo 3DS, we are making every effort to prepare so that the Wii U will not stumble during its launch," said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Iwata said the final version of the console will be on display at the E3 conference which is set for June in Los Angeles. That suggests the company will begin shipping the Wii U after summer but in time for the 2012 holiday season, in keeping with past launches. The Wii U has a set-up box similar to the current Wii, but also has a small tablet-like gamepad that is linked wirelessly and has dual thumb-controlled joysticks and control buttons. The tablet can be used together with the main box to play games shown on a TV, or independently on its own smaller screen. Nintendo has said the high-definition game system will have strong third-party developer tools and will launch together with well-known titles. But the company rankled game fans when it showed footage from other game systems at presentations for the Wii U during last year's E3. Iwata spoke about Nintendo's results for its first half that ended in September, which it released Thursday. The company slashed its outlook for the fiscal year through March and now expects a ¥20 billion (US$263 million) net loss, after saying just three months ago it could make an annual ¥20 billion profit. In May the company had predicted a net profit of ¥110 billion. He said the losses were due in part to large price cuts on the 3DS the company made less than six months after its launch, but he expected a strong holiday season based on the large number of games for the handheld that are due over the coming months. http://www.pcworld.com/article/242772/nintendo_wii_u_to_launch_after_march_2012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRINI87 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Wii U to launch by end of 2012 Will be out by Christmas in all major markets Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confirmed the Wii U will be available in Japan, Europe and the US by the end of the year. Iwata confirmed the release date at the investor meeting following the release of the company's Q3 financial results. Nintendo first hinted at a release window earlier this month, when US boss Reggie Fils-Aime said "Wii U will launch some time between E3 - which is in June - at the end of the year so essentially the second half of the year. src:CVG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devil_angel Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 so the next gen begins this year end huh ? BTW, did they change their h/w or is it still the same thing they showcased last time ? Rumour is that it's twice as powerful as the 360, but it's just a rumour. More details will be officially revealed around E3 by Ninty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepwood Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 So apparently the WII is twice as powerful as the 360. The next generation of the 360 would also happen to be 6 times more powerful tahn it's predeccesor but it's also 20% more powerful than the WII-U. I call Rumour Phail!

Shadoken Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yoshinori Ono: Wii U features have advanced since E3 reveal "What we saw last E3 is not a reflection of everything this console is able to offer. We have been trying the development kits and some of its new characteristics will improve its possibilities. It isn't something like Kinect or similar accessories, it's something different."I can't tell you more about it because, if I do, Nintendo will send assassins to finish me!" Ono added. "But let's say that Wii U will be a console with so many and unique possibilities that it will be difficult to show them in the box they are going to sell it or to be published by magazines and other mediums."

Aftrunner Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Woah. I had no idea you had access to that kind of insider info at Sony/MS and Ninty. So all three companies told you their specs huh? And here I was think we barely had any credible rumors when you are sitting on confirmed info already.
