NINTENDO'S DELUXE DIGITAL PROMOTION MAKES WII U AN EVEN BIGGER HOLIDAY VALUE

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 30, 2012 – As Nintendo prepares to launch the revolutionary Wii U home console on Nov. 18, consumers in the United States can look forward to a special promotion that will give select Wii U owners even more bang for their entertainment buck. Nintendo today revealed details about the Deluxe Digital Promotion, which lets consumers who buy the Wii U Deluxe Set earn points when they purchase downloadable games and redeem those points for even more fun digital content in the online Nintendo eShop. The promotion gives Wii U Deluxe Set owners a big incentive to connect their systems to the Internet and discover a constantly expanding array of downloadable games, entertainment offerings and cool ways to connect with family and friends.

All Wii U Deluxe Set owners who purchase digital content for Wii U, including downloadable games in the Nintendo eShop for Wii U and download codes sold at select retail stores, will earn points with a value equivalent to approximately 10 percent of the Nintendo eShop list price of each purchase. For example, a game priced at $59.99, such as New Super Mario Bros. U, would earn 599 points. For every 500 points they earn, participants will receive a code worth $5 in credit to be used in the Nintendo eShop for either Wii U or Nintendo 3DS. Points will be earned on all digital purchases made on a Wii U Deluxe Set from Nov. 18, 2012, until Dec. 31, 2014. When the Deluxe Digital Promotion website launches in December, participants can see the points they've earned and receive codes for Nintendo eShop credit by signing in with their Nintendo Network ID and password. Codes must be received at the website by March 31, 2015. Received codes must be exchanged for Nintendo eShop credit on Wii U or Nintendo 3DS by June 30, 2015. Nintendo eShop credit on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS does not expire.

"From day one, we want Wii U owners to experience the full breadth of great downloadable games and content available for the console," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "The Deluxe Digital Promotion is our way of encouraging Wii U Deluxe Set owners to explore the Nintendo eShop and discover how Wii U offers an incredible combination of fun, innovation, convenience and value."

The Wii U Deluxe Set offers extraordinary value right out of the box. Launching Nov. 18 at a suggested retail price of $349.99, it includes a black Wii U console, black touch-screen Wii U GamePad controller, sensor bar, AC power adapters and stands for both the console and the controller, a charging cradle for the GamePad, an HDMI cable and a copy of the Nintendo Land game, which features 12 playable attractions based on Nintendo's most imaginative and beloved game franchises. Consumers who purchase the Wii U Deluxe Set can use the Deluxe Digital Promotion with a Nintendo Network Account.

Qualifying Nintendo eShop purchases in the Deluxe Digital Promotion include games and content published by Nintendo as well as games from third-party publishers. Digital content purchases from the Wii Shop Channel are not eligible for Deluxe Digital Promotion points. Purchases from the Nintendo eShop via Nintendo 3DS hand-held and Wii U Basic Set systems are also ineligible.

Remember that Wii U features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/wiiu.

Sicher, ist nur etwas konkreter. ^^

Es war z.B. bisher nicht bekannt, dass man die Punkte auch für 3DS-eShop-Kredit nutzen kann.
 
Dass der Fokus bei den Amis derart auf dem Controller liegt, ist irgendwie seltsam. Es wird imho zu wenig deutlich, dass es eine neue Konsole ist.
 
Endlich mal eine Konsole mit brauchbarem Browser?

Interview mit Shin'en zur Wii U und Nano Assault Neo:

Nano Assault Neo
- Online leaderboards, 'survivor' mode, local two player.
- Tunnel sequences from 3DS version not present in Neo, instead replaced with tunnel 'races'.
- Uses the 'C-Engine', an engine Shin'en has used on around 17 games.
- In two player mode, the GamePad camera captures the second player (on the GamePad) playing, and displays this image on the TV for the first player to see. Image captures at 30fps. Can be disabled.
- 'Missions' take place of achievements. Missions success is ranked online.
- 100mb download size.
- 5.1 LPCM surround sound audio.
- Hoping for launch day and low price.
- Loading times almost reduced to zero.

eStore/Digital
- Made profit on WiiWare, but felt the market was too small. Feels the 3DS eStore is a sign of Nintendo taking digital more seriously.
- Feels Nintendo is "listening to feedback", including from developers.
- Had no restrictions from Nintendo in terms of size, content and gameplay for their digital titles.

Wii U Hardware/Tech
- Hardware avoids "typical bottlenecks", such as RAM latency.
- GPU "quite open".
- Hardware has good optimisation potential, and components well balanced.
- Have had no problems with the CPU/GPU combination. Feels they're a "good match".
- GamePad streaming and camera capture do not put a burden on the CPU/GPU.
- Nano Assault Neo using a few tricks that are not possible on current generation hardware. States the modern Wii U GPU is capable of effects that can make Wii U games look better than any game on current generation hardware.
- Audio DPS used for 3D audio and lowpass filtering.
- Excited to see what developers do with the hardware over the years.

Design/Company Philosophy
- Big focus on framerate. Always aim for 60fps.
- Enhancements made to the C-Engine for one game can then be used in other games on other platforms.
- Enjoy independent, smaller working versus larger, contractual working. Allows for full ownership of properties and engines, and full control of project direction.
- Influenced by arcade games from the 80s/90s.
- Enjoy first party Nintendo games. Thought Journey was really great.
- Happy with their relationship with Nintendo.
- Developing Jett Rocket for 3DS. Hoping to release it in the next few months. Planning another Wii U game, to be announced early next year.

Ist ja nichts neues, dass Kinder einer großer Teil von Nintendos Käuferschicht ist, vor allem in der Zeit vor der Wii, aber nun sieht es so aus, als wäre das der absolute Hauptfokus.

Die normale Werbung finde ich jetzt nicht soooooo kinderlastig. Die von BurgerKing hingegen muss ja für Kinder sein, da die die Zielgruppe für die BK Crowns sind.
 
In der neuen GamePro sind die ersten Reviews zu Wii U-Titeln.

Nintendo Land - 80% (alleine Mittelmaß, mit Freunden spaßig)
New Super Mario Bros. U - 85% (sehr gutes, traditionelles Jump & Run)

Das klingt ja schon mal gut finde ich....

Bin schon total gespannt auf den ersten Test von ZombiU und auch auf die Tests von Assassins Creed 3 und Darksiders 2 so wie COD (wie schlagen sich diese 3 Spiele im Vergleich zu den XBOX369 / PS3 Ablegern).
 
Also für "Core"-Gamer, die nicht in erster Line N-Spiele zocken wollen ist das doch nix. DS2 ist schon länger raus.. AC3 und COD werden mutmaßlich nicht deutlich besser aussehen als auf der PS360, wobei man auch hier eindeutig sagen muss, dass der Maßstab bei Multititeln die 360 ist. Niemand würde sich eine WiiU kaufen um damit COD zu spielen.

Es kommt also schon auch auf ZombiU an imho. Wie gut ist das Spiel wirklich um auch die breite Masse zu überzeugen? Gut, das Teil wird eh ausverkauft sein.. es geht um das nächste Jahr. Ist eine spannende Sache.

Man sieht eben an der Branche immer recht gut wie schnell man verlieren (Sega, nun Sony ..) und dann wieder doch gewinnen (Nintendo mit Wii, DS) kann.
