Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[teddymeow]

Wonder what happened to the Rayman demo?

Oddly the demo is on in-store units.

And is bloody good!!

Cant believe i have had my Wii U for a week now, feels like a lot longer. I am still very pleased with it and have been playing it for many hours every day. I just so love the Gamepad, it really is so nice to use. I think its fair to say at the moment this is fast becoming my main console it truly is a brilliant machine.

The triggers are not analog? What's the point of even having them over bumpers then?

Brilliant pictures of early Wii U Gamepad prototypes

Just seen 2 TV ads for Just Dance 4.

"Blah, blah, blah, Just Dance 4 on Wii U. Also available on Wii".

Then 3 ads later you get:

"Blah' blah, blah, Just Dance 4 on Wii".

You go confuse your audience Nintendo. Same game, 2 consoles with similar names, parents who aren't really paying attention. I see problems on Xmas day.

I was in Hmv the other day and a kid and his mum were looking for just dance 4 on wii. There were none on shelves, then mum shouts "FOUND IT" picked up the wii u version and took it to the counter only to be told " it's for the wii u ". " oh .. Will it work on the wii?".
theres definite confusion.

wii 2 or something that signifies a progression (nes /super nes) would definitely have helped

Yeah. Its my one issue with the GamePad and Pro Pad; digital triggers. They're good to use but I feel racers will suffer.

By racers I mean more realistic racers but I don't remember the last time there was one of those on Nintendo console?

R:Racing Evolution on the GC perhaps? But they did balance out the seriousness with Pacman Vs in the same case.

Sweet! Now I only hope Nintendo don't limit the amount of times it can be played as 2 1/2 months is a long time to wait for the full version.

LOL ... @ Nintendo .. They do make me laugh sometimes!

Surely this can't be right?

Yep. I read it on Eurogamer and tried it. Oh dear.

Still, I'm selling my ZombiU if anybody wants it and sleeps between 11-3.

Presumably you won't be able to watch any 18 cert films on Netflix before 11pm either.

EDIT: False assumption above.

This is NOE's doing apparently. Not an issue in the US of A.

I can't see that policy surviving for long. I head for bed at 11 usually, and I'm sure most working people go earlier still.

If your 12!

I go to bed between midnight and 2am most nights, I thought my wife was weird for going at 10.30-11pm.

The Nintendo premium points activation page is now live http://p.nintendo.net/

BUT.having just logged in and checked the points summary tab, the points are given against a price that's lower than what I paid. Bit weird.
