Insider: Wii U will cost...... $300?

That's pretty much exactly what I'm expecting. Fair price imo for the tech.

With the level I have my PC at, and having it hooked up to my TV like a console, I can see myself gaming mostly on PC and Wii 2 in the future. If Sony and Microsoft don't come up with something brilliant, or they just copy the Wii 2 idea, I may not even bother with them for awhile since most of those games will be on PC and/or Wii 2 anyway. Wii 2 is a definite for me just based on the sheer amount of exclusives Nintendo has.

Rhythm Heaven is called Rhythm Paradise in Europe. The new Wii game has had a sort of rebranding called Beat the Beat. It's a pretty clever title, if you've played the games before and I love this logo:

Rumour here from GAF from someone working on Wii U devkits version 4:

"I can't speak about all the questions/details here but devkits have double memory amount than future retail hardware (is "usual" with the devkits because they need extra memory for debug purposes), the thing with this is that like memory amount is in an open range now (not closed) they have the "better" choice right now (I mean in the range the higher amount in the devkits). For example, if Wii U memory range is 4-5 gb, the kits have 10 gb instead 8 gb. So as I said before that memory can't be less than 1 gb, the kits have at least 2 gb (is higher of course because this is the lower value of the range)."

More in the link up top, some are quite good.

Tokyo Jungle: System seller

Wii U might have 2GB or more of RAM?

So, as promised, i'll give you an information concerning the Wii U ram.


This is heavily linked to my initial post


In the specific context where i gathered this information (read the Warning part here), i can say that the retail version of Wii U will absolutely not have less than 1 GB of ram. You can ditch this 760mb of ram rumor and never look back.


The exciting bonus: From what i know, i'm also pretty sure that it will not have just 1 GB.


This is reported in a Rev4 dev kit frame, so maybe the later versions will change even more the ram situation. But whatever the amount of memory current dev kits have, i'm talking of the retail version*


*Yes, dev kits often have a different amount of ram for debugging and other things, but even if it may be the case for Wii U, my sources are able to know how much ram the real Wii U is expected to have, for the moment ! You can guess how.


To be more precise, i was quite surprised by the amount of ram expected in the retail version.


I think this message is a bigger hint that the previous one

Note that he bolded and underlined the quite suprised bit.

Title is my own speculation based on how suprised he was of the target size. I reckon 1.5-2gb?

Assassin's Creed II, a senior team of Ubisoft developers has been secretly toiling away on what comes next. That team aimed high, with plans to examine and rethink every element of the franchise from the ground up, build something new, and take a full three year development cycle to do it.





"The game that emerged is Assassin's Creed III. Set in the latter half of the 18th century, we'll see the war between the Templars and the Assassins escalate as it crosses over to the New World of America, and witness firsthand the events of the American Revolution.




"Caught in the conflict is a daring new hero in the Assassin's Creed franchise. We have the full story of this new hero and the striking game in which he stars, along with exclusive screens and art from the project, all packed into a massive 13-page cover story."




According to earlier comments from Ubisoft, the series' switch to the 18th century conflict will mark its 'biggest instalment yet'.

Oh god, I sense much Brit bashing. Especially as this is made by the French. It's a perfect storm.

America doesn't look anything like that! I thought this was supposed to be realistic?
