Wii U - thread 3

[wakka]

Looks fantastic. Gonna have to pick up a Wii U in the New Year I reckon. I love Mario games.

[InvisibleKid]

Cannot wait - though I have set it aside as a Christmas present, the wait'll kill me!

[parkinho]

I thought you were going to say ever...period.

Almost a coffee spitter!

Why exactly?

['Press Start']

I think I just had my first strong desire to purchase a Wii U! Mario looks fantastic.

Must..... get..... through gaming backlog first.

[PaTaito]

Why exactly?

It doesnt even make the top 5 mario's...obviously.

[RuBiQ]

whats the best way to do this Jake, I haven't once used the wii side of my wiiU yet, id love to play some emulation on the gamepad

The WiiU is fully compatible with the Wii homebrew channel, by the way. The Wii side of things is fully hacked just like a regular Wii, and Nintendo haven't shown much interest in patching it. You can even use emulators on the gamepad now.

He was referring to it being in the top 5 overall for the 3DS. Not top five Mario games.

Let me simply qoute myself once more

Really can't wait for it, I reckon Mario 3D on the 3DS is still in the top five games ever on the system to date, if it matches that I'll be more than happy.

Could be good, could be sh*t.

Just hope it releases before Project Cars which has now fallen back to around a Oct 2014 launch. Need another racing game on the Wii U desperately.

[InvisibleKid]

Isn't Mario Kart 8 supposed to be early 2014?

[VR46]

Of course, but you can never have too may racing games!

[InvisibleKid]

Well, I hope you bought Sonic Racing Transformed then!

Evidence or this hasn't happened!

Yep and sold it on, wasn't really to my liking. I'll have GT6 on the 6th Dec so sure that will tide me over until MK8.

Dusted off my Wii U and played a bit of Sonic Racing and it made me sad thinking about how third parties have dropped the system completely, especially Japanese developers. The machine has so much potential. I wonder if Nintendo manages to turn things around this holiday whether third parties will support it more? I doubt it as Nintendo managed to comeback with the 3DS which is selling really well now yet its still has poor support.
