Talk:Wii U

Edit question on the app store

A lot of sources are saying the wii u will have apps and an ebook store. I was wondering if it would be appropriet to include this in the article or if we should wait until nintendo confirms this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by YodaFan67 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

I feel like it would be okay to be mentioned very briefly in the software section, but definitely worded that a reliable source said it, not Nintendo. Sergecross73 msg me 15:23, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

At the same time, please be careful regarding cutting and pasting material directly from the source. Your addition to this article was copying the first few sentences out of the source. I've altered it to make it original, with the linked source providing the proof of what's being said. --McDoobAU93 16:05, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

The Wii and 3DS already have an AppStore. It is only common sense that the Wii U will also include it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.64.115 (talk) 11:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

There's a very big difference in the App Store that iPhones/iPads use, and what the Wii/3DS offers. What Nintendo has done so far is considered very "bare bones/bare minimum". I think the source is referring to the fact that Nintendo may offer something more advanced with Wii U. Sergecross73 msg me 13:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Dead link

Citation 1(Wii U release date) is a dead link- it leads to a 404 error. I don't know how to fix this...can someone help? 198.228.226.192 (talk) 04:12, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

 Done I updated the link with one from GameSpot that should stick around a bit longer. Thanks for the tip! --McDoobAU93 04:19, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Wii U Pro Controller is a fake?

I mean: it is CLEAR that the picture is fake, because it mimics EXACTLY PS3's and Xbox 360. Plus, Nintendo wouldn't make it black, no matter what, and they already have the prair-friendly design from the Wii Classic Controller, which would be the one they would most likely use for Wii U. Also, according to Dorkly Bits, the Wii U Pro Controller that has been going around is a rumour, most likely by a Sonyist or Xboxist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.126.80.56 (talk) 15:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Nintendo officially announced and showed it yesterday in a video done by their global president, so it doesn't get any more official than that. Sergecross73 msg me 15:47, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

This IP just makes me laugh to death. Trying to discount official announcements with rumors and WP:OR. Try researching what you are talking about first. Wikipedia is not a news site, and uses reliable sources or official announcements for our material. What we have here is most likely correct unless inserted by a vandal/uninformed user, in which case it would be swiftly removed on a popular article like this. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 03:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

If I didn't see the official announcement I to would think it was a fake. (note: this page will be edited so many times tomorrow).Nivlak7 (talk) 03:51, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it's just the fact that this person wasn't just passively questioning it, but rather aggressively dismissing it, and this is one of the few things that's actually been confirmed about the system, of all things. (And yes, I plan on watching over the page more than usual, as I know it'll be chaos today. It'll be impossible to actually contribute much with all the constant editing, but I'll try to at least keep some of the garbage out...) Sergecross73 msg me 12:21, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
