The Nintendo Wii U – Opinion/Review

For the past several months there have been a ton of rumors about Nintendo’s next generation console.  People speculated when it would be announced, the capabilities of the machine, how it would work, and even the name.  For the most part all of the speculation was completely true.  All of the speculators were right about Nintendo announcing the system at E3.  They got a lot of the specs and how it would right about the machine.  However they were completely wrong about the name.

Some websites were thinking that the big N would just go with the name Nintendo for their next console.  However the people at Nintendo have chosen to go the name Wii U for their next console.  This is a similar strategy that Sony and Microsoft have done in the past, but in my opinion that is one of the worst possible names for a console.  Wii U really doesn’t tell you anything about it.  I was hoping for something like Wii HD or even Wii 2.

I am hoping that is a success for Nintendo.  At this point it has hard to say whether or not the system will succeed, as there have been mixed reactions to it.  Surprisingly Nintendo’s stock when down shortly after the Wii U was announced.

The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – Opinion/Rant

I really like the Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes series on Disney XD.  For the most part I like it.  Although I do have one major complaint about way Disney is doing the show.  There seems to be no continuity to the way they are telling the stories.  They just seem to jump around a lot.  I spend a lot of time wondering if I have missed an episode or two.  It seems the second has just started, and I am confused now more than ever.  I am tempted to just drop it and to wait for it come out on DVD.

The day the Amazon launched its appstore I downloaded it.  After using it some I really that it needs an option to fully exit out the memory.  It is a battery drain, and I am really tired of killing it.  It all needs an option to not automatically load itself into memory.maa

Try as I might I cannot like the layout for the Gawker family of websites.  I keep thinking the new layout will grow on me, but as of yet it hasn’t happened.  I have heard that site traffic is down.

There was a time when Microsoft was the jerk of the IT world.  Times have changed and now Apple has become the new Microsoft.  So now Apple is the new jerk of the IT world.  I really hope the US government and the EU come down on them.

Wii Classic Controller Pro

About a week ago I ordered the Wii Classic Controller Pro from Amazon.  I ordered it to play a virtual console game.  After using it for a bit, I have found that it is the best controller for any video game console ever.  It is both comfortable and lightweight.  The dpad, analog sticks, and buttons are very responsive.  The real test will be to see how it stands up to abuse.  Nintendo would be wise to keep a version of this available for their next system.  Sony and Microsoft would be wise look in to making their controllers more like the Wii Classic Controller.

I think Nintendo should have included Super Mario World in its Mario 25th anniversary game edition.

Last night I installed the latest beta of Internet Explorer 9, and I have to say that I am surprised by it.  The install was super easy, and it required very minimal time to install.  The new Internet Explorer isn’t very pretty looking by any means, but that doesn’t seem to matter now days.  It is very quick and responsive when open or loading a website.  I did find that some of the demos really weren’t that great.  I was thinking about switching to Chrome as my main browser, but now it may Internet Explorer 9.

I installed a fresh version of the latest iTunes on a new machine in preparation for the iPad update.  I must say that I am not surprised that is runs slow as ever.  This is disappointing in a way, as I went from a P4 old PC to a new AMD PC.  I am not sure that I like some of the UI changes.  I hope iTunes 11 gets debloated.
