    to be honest those graphics doesnt look so great. the cod ones looks nice but i heard they were from xbox.

    • ssnake9

      to be honest your grammar is terrible

    • Guest

      *To be honest, your grammar is terrible.

    • facetouch

      What the game lack in visuals makes up for it with content and gameplay. Or not; Nobody knows, or will know until launch. So save any criticism for when it comes out.

    • Big E

      Different art styles for different games. Unless you’re talking polygon count.

    • Hybrilynx

      well, if this games art style is to look far from real, its doing a good job at it. at least in that picture. that picture is terrible.

    • Big E

      That pic is bad. Very low quality.

    • BellaKazza

      The graphics look great, better then Dead Islands and therefore great.

    • Link01000

      Graphics are by far NOT the most important part of a game. I think games like Minecraft have already proven that to us.

    • AxGamer

      Thanks. Its about time someone else pointed that out.

    • Link01000

      People wouldn’t need to point it out as much if people stopped freaking out about graphics being bad, like “OMG DESE GRAFIX SUC IM GOEN BAK 2 COD!!!11!!1!,” when really, CoDs art style is incredibly boring. If I want to see realistic explosions, I have Youtube for that. Look at Wind Waker, for instance. It was a Gamecube game, so of course the graphics weren’t that great, but I think it looks better than most Xbox 360 games we have today.

    • Mseevers95

      I always tell people if you want realism go outside.

      Gaming is better when you can see something really strange and unique brought to life in an interesting art style.

    • Hybrilynx

      nope. online multiplayer is. if minecraft was only single player, and especially if minecraft never had any purposely made glitches or mods, it would be very less popular.

    • Link01000

      Actually, it isn’t multiplayer, either. It’s the GAMEPLAY. That’s why they’re called GAMES. Multiplayer can tie in to that, but with some games, it’s unneeded. Although I will agree, multiplayer is one of the main things that make Minecraft so fun, but if it weren’t for the core gameplay of it, the multiplayer wouldn’t be fun, either. Also, I’ve always loved what Minecraft looks like. It has terrible graphics, but an awesome art style. The low resolution actually kind of adds to the charm of it.

    • AxGamer

      I dont really care about the graphics. I just want better third party games than the wii had and thats going to happen thank goodness.

    • Dead SCream

      The environment and all looks pretty good! I think its more of the zombies they dont look great! I hope they improve before launch though!!!

  • Marty

    I think I found my first launch game.

    For a launch title it’s a great game, showcases what the Wii U is all about and impliments the tablet controller in a very cool way, graphics are good enough so not sure what people are talking about when they say they there not next gen. It’s a launch title people!
    When devolpers are more familiar with the U the graphics will only get better.

  • http://www.facebook.com/vaughnchung Vaughn Chung

    Picking this up on day one. I’m happy to see this developer so enthusiastic about the Wii U!

  • Bugman

    Too many games on my list for the wii u. I’m going to be so broke….

    Oh, Americans… It’s “Med-ee-ee-vill” – NOT “Mid-e-vill”.

    • Big E

      Mah devil?

    • BellaKazza

      In America, we say MED-ee-ee-VIL.
      We also also call french fries, french fries and NOT chips.

    • American’t

      But they have nothing to do with France! What’s wrong with you people?!

    • i will kill u

      get aids and die

    • American’t

      I think i will. I deserve it.

    • i will kill u

      That is good. So we are in agreement.

    • American’t

      Yes. Shall we say next Tuesday at 10 GMT?

    • i will kill u

      That sounds fine. I will bring the crumpets! See you then!

    • American’t

      Then I will bring the Earl Grey. Cheers!

    • Big E

      You keep talkin’ to yourself and people will think yo’ crazy.

    • Sonic20012

      LOL

    • Link01000

      Hey, there’s this thing called “dialect,” and dialect is part of culture. I don’t know if you’ve realized this yet, but America has its OWN cultures, so that means it would also have its own DIALECTS.

  • Gregory

    She’s pretty. And Zombi U is definitely gonna be the first game I get. That and maybe Black Ops 2

    • pocketmanu

      No, she is not.

    • MadCrain

      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

  • suportedcofe

    This is by far the most interesting Wii U lounge game but I think people need to calm down cause it’s no guarantee that it’s gonna be as great as everyone says it will but from what we’ve seen of it so far I don’t think it’s gonna be a bad game at all.

  • BellaKazza

    Zombi U is the first game I get.

  • Boo_Buster

    This game is really going to show what can be done with the Gamepad. I’m not saying it is going to be an all-time great Wii U game, but I think people will remember it fondly as a launch title that showed us, in the very least, what the Wii U is capable of (which is why I am getting it). Games can only get better from the launch on, which is quite solid in its own right.

  • http://www.facebook.com/tyrell.jones.9 Tyrell Jones

    Yeah… ZombiU is gonna be my second WiiU game played, first is gonna be Ninten Land

  • BR!4N

    First Wii U game I’ll play for sure.

  • Ice Climbers

    Can’t decide between this, New Super Mario Bros U, Darksiders 2, and Assassin’s Creed 3. I’m only picking up 2 games on launch day, though I’ll have Nintendo Land too with the Deluxe Wii U.

  • Dead Scream

    Idk why, but i like it when she says “S*** hits the fun” lol!!!

    • Dead Scream

      *fan

  • bbcrisp_03

    since my idiot friends waited too long they can’t get the Wii you until much later than I do. I got the deluxe version and I’m so excited to play this game!whenever we figure out what Nintendo will do for online I hope to see you guys online and we can be online Comrades!!!!

    • Mseevers95

      They said no online for ZombiU. But there is a 2 player Vs Mode where one person is a survivor and the other person controls all the zombies.

  • me

    chicken, camel, turkey, beeeeef

  • TheAwfulTruth

    OMG, I’m sorry but I’m still not jumping on the Wii U euphoria, first of all, I know this website is all about Nintendo fans, I am one of ‘em, more like I WAS since the Wii was a big let down and Wii U even more, but I’m sure you will attack me in so many ways.

    Now, all of you are so excited and sometimes accuse MS and Sony of playing the greed card, well, guess what, Nintendo has done it in a more awful way, technology that 6 years ago would’ve cost between 300-600 dollars, is now out for 350 for the bundle that’s worth something, cause of course, Nintendo can’t never lose on hardware, after so many years of support, that’s what fans get, an overly priced console cause we need to make profit from the get go and you still support it and think of the other 2 players as greedy.

    Game wise, so Nintendo says here’ the premium bundle, yet they don’t say, comes with Nintendo Land and and you need Wii Plus controllers, so more money for ‘em, but for all of you it’s easy to overlook, after all is Nintendo and without ‘em we wouldn’t have what we have now, and while I agree on that, it’s unfair how they are treating everyone.

    Also the excuse of we haven’t heard of PS4 nor NextBox, yet we know it will be more powerful than Wii U and we’ll get a system like Wii, dedicated to shovelware cause innovation is more important than anything, and if someone says otherwise, they’re blinded, yet I haven’t heard anyone complaining about SNES, N64 and GCN being more powerful and no innovation whatsoever.

    All love Nintendo and pretend they’re not stealing money, well, guess what, they’re worse than MS now, all they want is money and give you no games, only what “they think America deserves” so when you do an operation rainfall-like again, don’t cry about it, you all deserved it for supporting a lying, greedy, hypocrit company like Nintendo.

    And I’m not getting the Wii U, I have to pay a lot of bills and I don’t have money enough to buy Wii Plus controllers just to fully enjoy every game, and not only it seems like that, but it’ll be that for a long time, more money spent on a console without good online, with a big entrance fee (which is all hidden but no one mentions it) and with crappy games.

    I miss the N64 days, when Nintendo did give a damn and released good stuff from the very beginning (I know you will come in defense to your dear New Mario U game but that game won’t ever get to the stature of Mario 64)

    • Big E

      Someone is stuck in the past. Of course all this is being done for money.

    • Ice Climbers

      There are so many things wrong with this post that I’m not even sure where to begin, but I’ll try.
      First, the Wii U isn’t 6 year old hardware. It’s much more powerful than the PS3/360, so a $350 price tag for a Deluxe Wii U – a next gen system – is actually rather cheap for what this thing can do.
      Second, you claimed that a Wiimote Plus is required for every Wii U game. This is false. The only Wii U games so far that require a Wiimote Plus are Just Dance 4 and Nintendo Land (even then, I may be wrong about the latter). Sure, many Wii U games so far are compatible with the Wiimote Plus, but most of these games allow for a Pro Controller in place of the Wiimote.
      Third, you claimed that the Wii U will end up in the same situation as Wii. This remains to be seen, but is VERY UNLIKELY. Sure, the 720 and PS4 will be more powerful than the Wii U, but the gap this time around won’t be anywhere near as big, so the Wii U will keep its 3rd-party support. Not only that, but for Sony and Microsoft to develop systems that are way more powerful than Wii U, they would have to suffer HUGE losses for several years, something that Sony can’t afford and Microsoft will want to avoid. Not only that, but that would make the development cost for a game much higher than the $10 million+ cost for games on current systems and the Wii U.
      Fourth, you claimed that the SNES, N64 and GCN had no innovation at all. I beg to differ. The SNES controller made the 4-button array a standard for modern controllers. The N64 introduced analog and rumble. The GCN influenced many other controllers, such as the 360 controller.
      Fifth, you claimed that the Wii U has crappy games and bad online. Tell me, how does the Wii U have crappy games when it has Nintendo’s IPs, the current multiplats, and quite a few 3rd party exclusives? As for the online, the Nintendo Network hasn’t been fully revealed, but from what we’ve seen of Miiverse and Nintendo TVii, as well as the 3DS eShop, the online will be fantastic.
      Sixth, the reason Nintendo doesn’t have great 1st party support so far is because it would tell 3rd-party devs that Nintendo doesn’t want or need them to support their system if Nintendo had games from a lot of their own franchises at launch. New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendo Land will do for now, with Pikmin 3 before the end of March.

    • Mseevers95

      It has always been about money. That is how a company works. Nintendo is like Apple, they give the world something we didn’t even know we wanted and once we get it we can’t imagine life without it.
      The entire point of any company is to make money, that’s how an economy works.

      They use the money fans put in by buying games and consoles to innovate and create more games and continue producing the current generation and the next generation of consoles so the cycle can begin again.

      Nintendo ‘caring’ about the fans isn’t quite an accurate statement. They have efficient customer service, something which is hard to come by these days (and they play Zelda songs as their hold music), they listen to feedback so they know what supporters will buy and they try to appeal as a broad demographic of people.

      Gamers are usually classified as Male 18-25, and for a long time Nintendo only really appealed to them (us). But you can’t criticize a company for expanding to try and sell to a broader audience, making money is the reason they were created. You’d might as well scream at a river for flowing, all it is doing is what it was made to do. Nintendo is still a company like Microsoft and Sony and even though they have different strategies they are all competing against each other for the same thing. Money.

  • Mseevers95

    Am I the only one kinda hoping you get a chance to shoot the Queen in the face in this game?

    • jay

      maybe a fun idea, but it would never fly. Even people who don’t like the queen would probably get mad because an American company made a game where you can shoot an iconic English symbol.

    • tactiturn

      Ubisoft is a french company I believe

    • Ice Climbers

      That reinforces the point even more. To the point that it could start a war. France and England have never really gotten along until the World Wars.

  • Diamond Ammo

    anybody else just getting a used a used wii u instead? 300 dollars is a bit much imo, and it’s the controller that makes it 300, if it came with just a normal pro controller it would be $250. Nintendo did not have to go for a tablet controller, if they just keep having good exclusives like zombiu and the wonderful 101 it will sell, it’s about the games not the gimmick

    • Raven The Great

      Games like zombie could only be the way it is now because of the tablet controller.

  • WadeHavick10

    “Wii like to play”…………..with U

  • Max

    That is great because i am getting mine from Amazon Free at http://www.points2shop.com/?ref=uin1324468172
