Nintendo is behide the times.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Hmm? My gaming console for games doesn't play DVDs?
Instant return!

Nintendo uses proprietary formats for their consoles.

Then why can a jailbroken wii play DVDs?

Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Pathetic wouldn't be the word since it is an intentional feature (or lack therof). I'd say it's more silly than anything.

  • 12.28.2012 8:36 AM PDT

Absolutely!

And you know what's worse? It can't even play 8-track cassettes! I mean... RCA could play those back in 1958!

Doesn't matter much. You can get Netflix on the Wii U anyway.

  • 12.28.2012 8:41 AM PDT

Who cares? Your Xbox-Xbox 360 can your PS2-PS3 can, your computer or laptop probably can. So why does the Wii U need it? My brother has one and the Gamepad is awesome. Does a console really need a DVD player to be "advanced" now? I remember the Dreamcast not being able to play DVDs, it was still awesome.

...Dreamcast 2 will happen, and when it does, you'll all be sorry you didn't buy the first one...

I can only please one person per day.

Today isn't your day.

Tomorrow isn't looking too good either.

Its part of Nintendo's strategy to go back to focusing on games. They know if they try to compete in terms of media with Microsoft and Sony they'll lose.

But they realize that if they make themselves look like the hardcore dedicated games console, they can let the Xbox's and Playstation's increasingly diluted image and message work in their favor and scoop up a lot of their opponent's business.

  • 12.28.2012 8:44 AM PDT

Why does it need it?

That's what my DVD player or laptop is for...

  • 12.28.2012 8:49 AM PDT

And I care, why? The Wii U is freaking awesome!

  • 12.28.2012 8:51 AM PDT

They probably figure since most people watch everything digitally it will just use that.

  • 12.28.2012 8:53 AM PDT

I don't care because I rarely watch my DVDs

And I have many devices that do.

DVD...? What is this, 2000?

I can honestly say I have not used a physical disc in over a year. I watch everything and play all games through my PC connected to my tv.

This. It'd be like adding the ability to play VHS to a modern day console. It's not needed and it's outdated.

lol okay, so here's what I've noticed;


Wii comes out, not capable of HD.


HD finally comes out



moments later, WiiU comes out.

It's like Nintendo is scared of my big HDTV.

I want her...

I don't even remember the last time I put a dvd(as in a movie) into my xbox, so it doesn't bother me
