Default Rumor: WoW as Wii U launch title
http://www.dualpixels.com/profiles/b...f-warcraft-cou


Thoughts? I suppose a touchscreen would be a good way of replicating a keyboard. Better than a controller, I s'pose. I wonder if the Wii U will share servers with the PC?

Putting WoW on the Wii U is a heavy risk...

I...what?

...what?

Seriously, what?

edit: Ok, reading through the list of games, that's a pretty serious lineup there.

Not...what'd I'd expect from Nintendo.

I'd imagine that "touchers" are going to be even slower than than the keyboard turners and clickers, do not want.

They'll probably stick to Farmville and Pokemon in MoP.

I hope.

WAIT DoTA 2 for Wii U? Holy kamoly. That's not going to sell.

Wrong: that's going to ruin the game.

Look at Diablo 3, consolized over and over that gameplay and UIs have been badly affected.

They won't consolize DoTA 2. Unless they release two seperate versions.

I don't see why people are shocked Nintendo would go for this. They created Animal Crossing which honestly feels like a single player mini-MMO to me.

WoW for consoles?

The WiiU has a pretty unique controller. It's basically an iPad with analogue sticks and buttons on the sides. The screen could in theory have a keyboard on it.

yeah, but how big can that thing be? Also you'd have to tap the "buttons" instead of just resting your fingers comfortably on a keyboard. And holding it AND use the screen would be tiresome after some time as you're basically holding the console with only one hand the whole time. I don't see that happening, at least not in a way that makes sense pve/pvp wise.

If they stick to the difficulty of the Dragonsoul LFR, you'll be able to raid succesfully with an Etch a Sketch.

Nintendo created a console to rival PS3 and 360 and called it the "Wii U"? I think of Wii as the console for little kids or old folks, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Nintendo should have come up with a new name to escape that stigma.
