Nintendo Wii U Console Hardware System Side

G’day, David here.

I started this blog a while back — about a year and a half ago, I believe — with the intention of making it the Wii U equivalent of nintendo3dsblog.com; fast news, plenty of juicy rumours, and the ultimate source of Wii U news. As you might have noticed though, I’ve been slow to publish a lot of news, and that is not okay. That is why an important change has been made:

I am no longer in charge of the content thats published to this blog.

But fear not. I am not leaving. I still own wiiublog.com, and while I’ve been taking a break from the videos, I am not done with those either. This isn’t a departure; it’s a chance to focus my attention on two things:

  1. Updating nintendo3dsblog.com much faster than I have been.
  2. Make important, “big picture” changes to improve both sites.

What is changing is that someone else will be writing the news. But this wasn’t a lightly made decision. In fact, I’ve been resisting any sort of change since I’m extremely protective of things I make. The reason I’ve made the change now though is quite simple: the change needs to be made, and I found someone who can handle the job. And who is this person that I trust with such an endeavour?

Robert.

Or Sepharos, as you might know him if you’re a member of the forums, or Sephazon if you’re a subscriber of his YouTube channel. If you do know him, then you know that it’s the right decision — and it’s totally because I’m a genius at deciding things — and if you don’t know him, you will learn that it’s the right decision.

Since I’m blabbing on though, here’s his own introduction and acceptance of this new position:

But like I said, I’m still around, and if you ever want to chat, just send me a tweet. Other than that though, feel free to welcome Robert in the comments, and look forward to a grand future for this blog.

    • http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

      This is why we need mods. And a mass cleansing of morons from the Earth.

    • Ziggy

      You make the N word not make any sence anymore

    • Swordey

      YOUR A NIGGER!!! DA KKK IS COMING!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • lonewolf88

      pretty sad knee growl or neutron you could had done so much with your life but its already to late now…

    • Captain Falcon

      His name is actually “Knee Grow Hater”
      Don’t say it out loud. This guy needs to be banned.

    • Xavier

      black watched the boondocks this is not an insult anymore -.-

  • Heefe

    We need mods for the forums on both blogs coz it’s getting out of control… too many idiots.

    • NintenEpic

      yep, like “Neutron” and his new account “neutron2.0″

    • Captain Falcon

      It’s quite sad… he trolls on WiiUDaily also.

    • anti-troll movement

      he also trolls at mynintendonews.com

    • Ziggy

      I dont see him there, could you post an article link for me?

    • Captain Falcon

      http://wiiudaily.com/2013/01/oliver-spike-platformer/#comment-782592879

      He’s NeutronTT on that site. By now, they probably banned him.

    • REALLY?

      It is not funny to be racist. At least it’s Black History Month…

    • Xavier

      black people dont even care about this moth anymore

    • Tails the Foxhound

      You’re right we kinda don’t. I never liked it myself, just seemed like a month to pretend to be interested in our history when we should indulge in it and discover it naturally.

    • http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

      It’s supposed to be a month to bring more to the forefront of our remembrance the significant contributions that African-Americans have done, particularly towards bringing awareness to America’s youth, who generally have very little knowledge or care about our nation’s history to begin with. If some people want to make this month as something forced or it another render its as something trite, they’re both missing the point of its designation.

      Not that history is or should be confined to just a month, but not too long ago, there was a time where NO history of black Americans (and other minorities) got any public awareness or respect. Many lives of great people who, if it weren’t for such initiatives toward promoting their history as a great part of American history, would get no notice at all.

      Black History Month is not some agenda pretending to make one remember or care–it’s a dedicated month where people make a little more effort to not forget where from which we as a nation came. Any month’s a good month to learn a little about our nation’s history, history from any sides, but this month is just a time promoted as a time for education on a subject not predominant in our history books even today–black American history.

      Sometimes in these regular reminders, some individuals somewhere pick something up. Sometimes these moments of recognition work. In any case, it’s nothing to be annoyed about. If one doesn’t particularly care for this mean of public awareness, they still should consider that some people do learn from it. Any good it does is good.

      Those who forget the past are often either doomed to repeat it or not doomed to take their present for granted–and most American youth today lean towards that latter one. They tend to take their freedoms for granted, living too comfortable in the luxuries our forefathers laid down. A little reminder is the least we can do for our nation, our histories, and our progeny.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      Agreed on all points, I was just saying that that’s what it “felt” like to me. When I was in grade school I looked up this stuff because it was interesting to me. When February came and went and interest waxed then waned it all felt cheapened to me.

    • http://PolyKhromeGames.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

      Yeah, you have a good point there.

      I grew up with an interest in the subject myself (as well as just history in general) and, yeah, it is sad to see how so many folks confine it all to just this month, only to soon trivialize it afterwards once public
      interest is gone.

      You’re right there when you talk about this phenomenon of public
      interest being because they were to have a sudden and rather imposed interest on the subject rather than their checking it out of natural curiosity and gaining a respect for the history. I do find that most people in life just aren’t curious enough about life.

      Though, still, it seems that many of the few who do pick up an interest and respect for the historical subjects of black Americans did so because of Black History Month, rather than a natural interest before the month. There’s something good in that, but something rather sad in that at the same time.

  • Guest

    Hey guys, I accidently put my real name as the poster, and I wish to remain unanimous. How do I change my poster name?

  • Gravitynaut

    Dear Robert. Please ignore the stupid, good-for-nothing, Nintendo hating, ignorant trolls that everyone despises and loathes with all their hearts, souls, and minds, and wishes that they would vanish and do something worthwhile with their lives instead of sitting at a computer and HATING ON A BUNCH OF EXCELLENT GAMES THEY’VE NEVER EVEN PLAYED!!!!!! anyway….. welcome!

    • http://twitter.com/Sephazon Sephazon

      No worries. I will take care of this shortly.

    • Swordey

      Thx, now I can stop copying and pasting comments. c(‘o’c)

  • Gravitynaut

    We need a way to ban trolls from this site. I’m a fan of anyone who can do something about this good for nothing loser who can only use the “N” word.

    • Attackblast

    Welcome aboard the editorship, Seph!

  • Silent

    Fellow Gamers,

    I think that the trolling in this blog HAS gotten out of control. There isn’t even control to get out of. Im sure almost everyone here agrees that there should be a mod or someone to ban certain trolls in this blog. We are getting sick of all of Neutron’s stupid and retarded comments that just bury other people’s interesting comments. So therefore, We want action to be done about this. Some of us are not fan boys/girls, but we hate to see trolls coming here to blab out sh*t about our consoles. You can always express your different opinions politely but not just posting 21 comments just to troll. It is not fair for all of us to be bothered by trolls’ useless and fail trolling. I come to this specific blog to talk to my fellow gamers and share experiences and opinions about games. Every time i go and check the comments section of a great announcement, i see arguing due to the trolling of one or more persons. Therefore, I hope that David, If he is reading this, takes some action about the serious trolling on this blog. If David does not ban Neutron, I suggest we report Neutron’s account or do anything to stop him from ruining our good times in this blog. Vote Up if you agree. Also please, if you can, paste this around, so that people are aware of all the trolling in the blog.

    • Free of Birth

      Not only on this blog, but every other blog (if not all of them).

    • Xavier

      like it or not trolls keep the comment section alive

    • Silent

      yes, you are partially right. However posting a million troll comments is just annoying and keeps people out of the blog.

    • Bill

      This isn’t a forum, troll assistance is not necessary to start off discussion.

    • antitroll movement

      are you the same bill from mynintendonews?

  • Gravitynaut

    Hey trolls! Thanks for making the new guys firs day terrible!!!! I’m sure Robert really enjoyed the trolling!!!

    • Silent

      This is what happens, instead on focusing on welcoming sephazon, trolls make us focus on them. So annoying. I know its not your fault.

  • Swordey

    NIGGER!!!!!! ONLY NIGGERS ARE TROLLS!!!!

  • Swordey

    Congratulations! You posted a comment without saying nigger!

    • lololol

      achievement unlocked: not being racist trollz (-9000G)

  • Alfredo Marquez

    You are ludicrously cheerful, I look forward to reading your stuff.

    That might have not come very well.

  • ThePebbleTribe

    Well, welcome, Seph. Don’t worry about the troll. He just knows everyone hates hates him, so he says this stuff to feel better.

  • DiamondAmmo

    THIS NEW GUY IS GONNA EAT MY POOP, SNAP HES EATING MY POOP HE PUT HIS HEAD IN MY BUTT, OH… OH YEAH… THAT TICKLES…. FEELS GOOD, OH STOP IT ROBERT STOP LICKING THE SIDES INSIDE MY BUTT! IT TICKLES XD Ok… ok do it 1 more time! HAHAHHA XD I AM GONNA EAT MORE OF ROBETRTS AND GAMEANICAS POOP, IMAGINE US ALL EATING IT! YUM YUM YUM :D

  • Hybrilynx

    btw too much news at once is annoying becuz it ruins reading comments. blog posts should be like 1-4or5 posts a day. i hate it when all of a sudden, my last comment is like 2 pages back. or even still in the first blog post, after days passed.

    • David

      This is a symptom of me being unable to keep up with the news, and why I brought Robert onboard. :)

    • Revolution5268

      hey is it normal when you get a reply and when you click it it sends you to the article thats a week or two old and comments section is gone (like the pokemon x and y article example)…..is that suppost to happen?

    • ronald

      Yes, he would post nothing then suddenly post like 8 things several days late.

  • Mr. Foogy

    Congratulations to Robert! I’ve been reading your interviews, and I think you’ll do a fantastic job running wiiublog,com!

    I hope we also see the site being upgraded a bit. To be honest, the design is pretty boring and bland.

    As for Sony and Microsoft, if you’re not a fan of either one of them, make sure you don’t punch your computer screen when you look at it. Just a heads-up.
