The controller doesn't look very comfortable though.

I agree, it's just a big square. They really should change that.

[Haruka]

The controller might change its look since it is only released next year.

[Holy Crap]

I've heard claims its more comfortable than it looks, but we'll have to see I guess.

Wii U. Shit name for a shit console. I would never have imagined the market for fecal matter was so huge.

[Cairnie]

the U obviously stands for urine :p

About the 3DS browser... only just about got 2 or 3 sites working, here and facebook mainly. So early days.

I think I'll like the Wii U, Nintendo is finally trying to get the console with the best graphics, and they're using friend lists from now on; instead of friend codes.
Which COULD mean that achievements are coming to the Wii U, and ofcourse... Zelda HD.

I don't think I'm going to like that new console too much...

I don’t understand how anyone could possibly care about achievements.

You like the Wii better?

Achievements support me to do various hard tasks in a game.
Normally, I finish a game on normal difficulty, but if I could get an achievement by finishing it on hard mode, I would atleast try it.
And you get points by finishing achievements, some are worth more than others, and with those points... you could buy in-game items.

[Haruka]

To be honest, I didn't get as surprised with Wii U as I did with Wii's revelation back in 2006. But I am glad to see it is going HD graphics now.

I prefer it when games are actually good enough to make me replay them rather than bribing me with the promise of virtual medals.

Yes, but I play the game for the story, I almost never replay one, except if the gameplay is good enough and worth it.

Kind of... I still prefer other gaming consoles than Wii and Wii U looks more like a revamped version of the GameCube's succesor...
But still, looks can be deceiving, no?

Same here. Unfortuneatly RRTiT tries to stretch up the replay value and the longevity of the game by having hundreds of achievements to unlock. It just doesn't work up well.

This rewarding discussion gave me the inspiration for a new trollscience:

Am I the only one who cannot register in UPlay from Ubisoft, after clicking the the registration section of Rayman Origins' official page?

[Hunchman801]

I got an error too, and I couldn't be bothered to try again.

[Cairnie]

It didn't even load for me so I don't know what I've got.

[Rsandee]

Yes, it needs to be improved.
I'm actually hoping for this to be a big succes, I'm not going to buy something stupid like the Wii again without a good reason.
Maybe I'll just wait until the PS4 is out. xD

[stan423321]

This is going to be a long wait.

The reason Sony came up with "10 years idea" was that PS3 was initially too expensive for usual consumer, and releasing console which is both cheaper than PS3 was and better than it significantly may take some time.
