As for the menus themselves, like many I find them sufficient and quite charming. Much better than the horrible mess that is the 360 front end or the cold experience you will get from the PS3

Originally posted by evilthecatuk View PostOh right the pause in between selecting it where the crap music and white screen, I must be imagining things. If you genuinely believe that music is charming and a white screen with Wii U in the bottom corner for 10 seconds in between options is "charming" then fair enough but better than the PS3 or 360 UI... It may have adverts but at least the 360 dash is fast and easy XMB being the same. It's about 3 patches away from functional let alone charming tvii or whatever it's called doesn't even work yet its a bloody hack rush job and you know it, the games are great though, well Zombi U and Mario are (only ones I have played)
no way is the WiiU front end any less functional than the 360 one.

Wii U is also a bit of a DC to me but the difference is that it absolutely doesn't eclipse the PS360 in terms of performance. I would've bought it if it did, but I don't settle with inferior versions of Tekken and ME3. I think Bayonetta 2 would be a nice reason to buy it, perhaps its there once the price of this machine drops.

Originally posted by Alex WS View PostYeah I agree with this. PS3 is the only one that's faster, but to me the WiiU one is more functional with menus more logically structured. PS3 is a mess of different options seemingly doing the same thing. Not to mention that PS3 doesn't really have multi-tasking. You can view the XMB, but outside of trophies (which take ages to load) you can't really do anything in there while in a game. And the less said about the 360 dash, the better. As for the store of Wii U, I find it pretty great. Everything is nicely laid out on the front page which acts as a hub for all the different categories. If it were slightly faster, the Wii U would have been clearly superior to the other two.
