White Wii U Deluxe

[jebug29]

Okay, so we all watched the Wii U announcement. There's going to be a White Basic Version and a Black Deluxe Version. First of all, I think making two versions of a console (other than colors) is stupid to begin with, but eh.

What really stinks about it is that you can't choose what color you want the Basic or Deluxe to be. Maybe someone wants a black basic one or a white deluxe one. Heck, I want a white deluxe one. I don't like the black. I seriously can't stand how Nintendo did this, especially because the Wii U is an awesome console.

Anyways, does anyone think Nintendo might make different colors of different versions? And what's your opinion about the different versions and color choices?

I didn't watch any of it.

But my opinion is; Having multiple colors to begin with is stupid, but it's a marketing thingy. People who have the black console will pay more for it just for the fact it's black.

I'm very interested in the fact Nintendo is doing this though, shows that they're finally stepping up to plate and using the same moves the other consoles use.

Well, the thing is that the deluxe version comes with more. It has 32GBs of storage, it comes with Nintendoland, it comes with a gamepad and console stand, and for every digital purchase you make, you get points for counting towards other downloads.

 

[Prof Gallows]

So obviously it's the better choice.

But your argument is that there shouldn't be just a black wii u in the deluxe?
I don't really think it matters. It's the same console, the color shouldn't matter in the end.

Argh, I hope I can get the Deluxe. Money is a problem, I will probably have to wait for a price drop (although I doubt that the Deluxe will still be available by then)

It's Nintendo. I bet there will be a version even better than the deluxe not even half a year later.

Personally I would like a white delux wii u. I mean I couldn't stand the gamepad being black and I would look at the console quite often. I could just get the standard white because it's prettier but then I would miss out on the better option. Colors are very important to me!!! (maybe its a girl thing?)

 

[Prof Gallows]

It's an opinion. =p

I would suggest just painting it or something but I have a feeling a bunch of people would forget how to breathe after reading it.
It's just a console case anyway. My Wii doesn't even have a case, I took it apart ages ago. If I end up getting the Wii U, I'll probably do the same at one point or another, open it up and look at it's pretty pretty hardware.

If the black is too much of a problem, you could just tape pieces of paper or something to it to make it look white. lol

This seems to be a popular opinion lately and I really don't get it. Just because there were a ton of DS revisions doesn't mean there will be for the Wii U. In the 6 years of the Wii there weren't any unless you count the "Family Edition" which REMOVED features. Oh and it still took a year and a half for a 3DS revision.

To be honest, if you're worried about memory space for your Wii U it's been announced that you can just plug up and external. Pretty cheap way for getting more memory and keeping the color you want.

 

[jebug29]

@BlazeTK I like your avatar. XD

See, they didn't even win me over with the plus until they said that every digital download you'd get points towards other downloads, plus it comes with Nintendoland. I don't know, maybe I should just get the deluxe and buy a case replacement for it. I just dislike the black because it's super glossy, and that means it might be a lot more prone to fingerprints than the white version. Like I said, if they're going to offer different colors, offer them both for each version.

That's exactly the point. They focused on the DS and 3DS.
They knew there wouldn't be a point to make any Wii upgrades due to the development of the Wii U, along with the 3DS.
I really, really, really think they're going to do the same thing to the Wii U that they've done with the DS/3DS.

 

[BellGreen]

Lets hope the deluxe will be worth it.

 

[BlazeTK]

Lets just hope the system is even worth anything. Really I think Nintendo has so much more potential that what they actually bring to the table.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Again, I couldn't agree more.

I mentioned to someone earlier that Nintendo focuses their newer consoles(Wii and Wii U) on a gimmick, instead of just having a console where you can play games normally.
What they SHOULD do, is have the option there if you want to use it, but not force it on you, like they're doing.

 

[froggy]

that's a good idea

Man, too bad this thing came out. Glad the Wii gave me an option. [/sarcasm]

I get what you're trying to say but it really isn't a fair comparison.

1) You linked the Pro version of the Classic Controller which was released far too late in the Wii's life cycle honestly to be compared to the Wii U one.

2) As the name implies, the original Classic Controller was intended to be played with classic games like the ones on the Virtual Console. The original one was basically a SNES controller. :| Instead, the Wii U Pro Controller is obviously intended to provide more "hardcore" controls to modern games.

3) Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed 3 and Rayman Legends are all confirmed to support the use of the Wii U Pro Controller.

Yes, I can't predict the future and tell you for sure if this controller will be well supported. However if you ask me there's plenty of evidence this will be supported far better than the Classic Controller was.

I really doubt that controller will be used as much as people say. It's just a wireless classic pro. Otherwise they would bundle it with the console.
