Wii U

I've done research on the up and coming 'Wii U' which is getting released in the UK on November 30th, although it's being released in the US on the 18th of November.
Prices in the US for the Wii U are set at $249.99 for the 8GB model and $349.99 for the 32GB version. However, Nintendo won't comment on the UK price because, it says, retailers are required by law to set their own prices - something that hasn't been a problem for any other tech firm on the face of the Earth. Nevertheless, Nintendo says if you want to know how much the Wii U UK price will be, you'll have to visit your favourite retailers' websites. And early indications are that the 8GB Nintendo Wii U will cost £249.99 while the 32GB model will cost £299. The Wii U is apparently quite modest in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it has been noted that Nintendo is being very cagey on the subject and prefers to promote the new experiences the Wii U can offer rather than talk about CPUs and graphics chips.
The GamePad Controller
Where other consoles have buttons and sticks, the Nintendo Wii U has a tablet: the GamePad is a 6.2-inch, 16:9 ratio LCD touchscreen with traditional buttons and twin analogue sticks.
Powered by a rechargeable battery and weighing around 500g, the GamePad has an accelerometer, gyroscope and geomagnetic sensor for motion control, a front-facing camera and microphone for video chat, stereo speakers, rumble feedback and a stylus. The controller allows the player to play the current game even if the television is switched off.

Nintendo has stated that the Wii U will support 1080p graphics  and have twenty times the size of memory than the original Wii had. The ideas for the Wii U first bloomed in 2008 as Nintendo had discovered many restrictions and problems with the Wii. Nintendo had originally created the Wii for core gamers but soon discovered that the Wii was a console for casual gamers so they are soon to introduce the Wii U hoping that it will cause the return of core gamers to play Nintendo consoles once again. Nintendo has previously failed to attract the audience of gamers who are fonder of the Xbox or rival PlayStation and to attract these gamers they have now assured greater support of third-party games on the Wii U.

From Bad to Glad (My Gaming Experience Life Story)

When I first started playing games, I must have only been around the age of six or seven. I first started playing Vice City whenever my Uncle would come round and babysit me; I ended up spending about 6 hours on it each time I played it. It was then I discovered my love for stealing cars and stealing people’s money. I vaguely remember my parents buying me a Game Boy Advance and a Lara Croft game to keep me entertained on a flight, but I’m pretty sure I was playing it for about 7 hours a day for a good 6 months, although I don’t recall completing it. Then I ended up getting Pokemon and I worshiped it. Nevertheless, the following Christmas I received a PlayStation 2 along with Vice City and a lot of Sonic generation games, I was made up! I also got a few other games such as the Sims, the Simpsons and other games which I can’t remember. When San Andreas was released, I played that too and it ended up being the first game I’d completed. As I got older I got more and more consoles but definitely lost interest in them, they had become too boring for my liking and I wanted something different. As soon as I became a teenager and started exploring the internet I found several MMORPG’s which, I thought, were the best thing in the entire world. I first started playing a game called Allods, which was a free to play game, but, like most free to play games, you had to pay something to have amazing gear or amazing mounts or whatnot. Because I had never played an online game before I thought the graphics of Allods were phenomenal, I’d never seen anything like it. But, with Allods, I was more obsessed with being a pretty little fairy rather than a good player. After a year or so, my experience with Allods came to an end and I started to play World of Warcraft which is still my favourite game at this moment. In World of Warcraft I’m a huge fan of PvP, it’s basically all I do on the game, so I don’t really explore the game for all of its wonders, but I’m sure I will one day. As for graphics, I’d vote 7/10, they’re very good sometimes, but other times they can be like Minecraft, pretty annoying. I also play games on my iPhone every single day, these games are things such as Tetris and Bejeweled, I really enjoy basic games like those. Thus my gaming experience so far is pretty ranged, I’d say.
