2.- Michael Pachter, an industry analyst has said, referring to the Wii U that:

It would surprise me a lot if the Wii U cost more than $399.99, and I think that the sweet spot is $249.99.

He proceeded to explain:

Pricing really depends upon where the other console bundles (PS3 with Move and 360 with Kinect) are priced at the time the Wii U launches, because people who don’t yet have a console are likely going to choose among the three offerings, and the biggest driver in the purchase decision is usually price.

Let’s hope Nintendo doesn’t push for too high of a price.

3.- Eiji Aonuma has revealed that Nintendo are still debating what art style to use for the forthcoming Zelda game on the Wii U. The footage shown at E3 was just a demonstration using the Twilight Princess art style that the Zelda team felt comfortable using. 

The final game however could look completely different.

Do you have any ideas percolating regarding how you’d like to a see a Zelda game play on the Wii U? 

Obviously software sort of evolves along with hardware and the functions that are built into hardware. I think if I was to give away all the ideas that are floating around, it wouldn’t be as much fun when those products actually come to life. But one thing I certainly find myself liking is a lot – that you saw in the Wii U Zelda HD experience – is the idea of being able to pill your map onto a separate screen and really make use of that separate display in order to make your adventure more exciting and more streamlined. That is certainly something I find very appealing.

Speaking of that demo, is the Twilight Princess art style what you’d like to use for a Zelda game on the Wii U?

Not necessarily. Really, this time around it was more about seeing what we can do with the Wii U. In making the experience, we had the Twilight Princess art style as a base more or less to gauge what we were doing. But for a Wii U Zelda in the future, there’s no art style or design direction that’s been laid down – we’re very open to distinct possibilities.

4.- Marvel has announced that it’s highly regarded Marvel Pinball game will be heading to the Wii U next year. Marvel disclosed the information at this years Comic Con in San Diego. 

The game will also be released on the Nintendo 3DS as well as PlayStation Vita and mobile platforms.

5.- Capcom showed off its next installment of the Resident Evil franchise behind closed doors at this years Comic Con. We know next to nothing about the title but it would be a safe bet to assume it’s coming to Wii U. The game is set to be revealed to the general public on September 15th 2011.

Noticias Nuevas - Nintendo Wii U

1.- La publicación de Nintendo Power de este mes incluye no sólo una gran entrevista acerca de Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, pero también incluye una lista de los videojuegos de Comic Con más esperados por los jugadores.

Wii
1. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
2. Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
3. Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
4. Spider-Man: Edge of Time
5. Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion

DS
1. Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns
2. Spider-Man: Edge of Time
3. Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension
4. Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal
5. X-Men: Destiny

3DS
1. Mario Kart
2. Super Mario
3. Paper Mario
4. Kid Icarus: Uprising
5. Star Fox 64 3D

2.- Michael Pachter, un gran analista industrial dijo, refiriéndose a la Nintendo Wii U:

Me sorprendería que costara más de $399.99, y creo que el punto dulce es $249.99.

Procedió a explicar:

El precio dependería mucho de las bundles de otras consolas (PS3 con Move y 360 con Kinect) y su precio cuando salga la Wii U, porque la gente que no tenga consola en ese momento probablemente busquen la mejor oferta, y el mayor factor del que busca la consola es normalmente el precio.

Esperemos que Nintendo no suban el precio.

3.- Eiji Aonuma ha revelado que Nintendo todavía no sabe la dirección en la que llevarán el estilo gráfico de Zelda para la Wii U. El vídeo enseñado en E3 fue una simple demostración con el estilo artístico de Twilight Princess con el que el equipo de Zelda se encontró a gusto. 

El juego final podría ser completamente distinto.

¿Tenéis algunas ideas sobre cómo queréis que se juege a un juego de Zelda en la Nintendo Wii U? 

Obviamente, el software evoluciona con la evolución del hardware y con las funciones implementadas en éste. Creo que si revelara todas las ideas que están saliendo ahora, no sería tan divertido cuando el producto saliera. Pero una cosa que encuentro que me gusta muchísimo – que viséis en la experiencia del demo de Zelda HD en la Wii U – es la idea de meter el mapa del juego en otra pantalla para hacer el juego más llevadero y tener una experiencia más memorable.

4.- Marvel ha anunciado que su bien recibido juego Marvel Pinball llegará a la Wii U el año que viene. Marvel dio la información en el Comic Con de San Diego.
