Can Nintendo's Wii U capture the future?

2012-09-14
hi I'm adding with the virgin we're here in New York where Nintendo's just announced the pricing and availability of its Wii U console and it's also making its largest for a yet into the battle for the living room by adding Nintendo TV it's also trying to showcase a wider range of games than before while still incorporating its gamepad which is a touchscreen that also includes integrated controls a stylist and a video recorder you know with Nintendo technically were an entertainment company so what we really need to do is create compelling entertainment options for consumers because what we want them to do obviously is go out and get away you and experience what those games are so from our perspective we really feel like our competition is really any other form of entertainment but when it comes down to gaming specifically Wii U is the new console out there and what it's doing is it's bringing entirely new ways to play you can't have this experience on any other system so the question is whether Nintendo is going to be able to build a solid gaming experience while still incorporating all of these new features all the titles we try to integrated the gamepad somehow and some of the ones like zombie you or the Metroid level of Nintendo land do it really well they've managed to make it a separate game inside the gamepad without taking away from what you're seeing on the larger screen unfortunately on some of the major triple-a titles like Assassin's Creed 3 it really feels like an afterthought they might put a map in but you're never going to have to actually look at it Nintendo put a lot of work into its second screen and some of the features like being able to play on one screen and watch TV on another are genuinely interesting however since the graphics aren't great it might be difficult to lure gamers away from other consoles we'll find out on November eighteenth when it releases in North America you
