Wii U - thread 3

[importaku]

LOL i wondered what that furry paw was doing.

Changed out my WiiU gamepad battery, assisted by my cat...

What's the difference in PAC run time kryss? Also, cats are always helpful in upgrades

[J0e Musashi]

It's touted as giving twice the running time. I should get one I suppose.

I would guess most people are playing their Wiis on 1080p displays?
So the TV is upscaling anyway.

So the difference is whether the TV is better than the WiU at upscaling, and whether the hdmi is better than the component.

I would say that I get a much better image from the WiiU on Mario Galaxy 2, only game I have tried, than I do on the Wii, and my Pioneer upscales pretty well, so I reckon it is a pretty poor component output on the Wii.

Edit: Just though, I plugged the Wii on my panny 480p today to grab my mario and zelda saves off it, it was being fed 1:1 and the Wii still looks soft, so definitely reckon a case of the hdmi on Wii U just being better than the component on the Wii.

Yeah didn't see how excellently positioned it was until after posting it on Twitter.
The new pack is supposed to give between 5 and 8 hours of use compared to 3 to 5 for the regular one. I've only installed and charged it this afternoon so haven't given it a practical test yet.

[vanpeebles]

Hahaha can we have a full picture of the cat please?

[QualityChimp]

I concur that the cat-assisted installation pic has made my day!

No way have I ever got anywhere near 5 hours out of mine (but that is with the brightness set to 4). Be interested in impressions kryss.

Urine extraction!

Lol, I know it's not the point but it's actually cheaper to buy a gamecube + the game from CEX.

And you wont have to put up with realistic clouds either

[BIG EDD]

As I've stated in my general gaming post Wind waker was game of the show at Euro gamer as it looked superb along side the original game cube version which was at the side of the demo unit it did truly look awesome can't wait

Nintendo are doing the right thing pricing games online at top whack imho.
If the online content was cheaper it would completely kill off physical media and what is left of bricks and mortar games shops.
We would all be proper moaning then!

Nintendo could charge ?30 for that and still make more on each copy sold than they do selling to retailers, but it would not be good for gamers in the long run imho, have some sort of high street presence is essential for the long term imho.

Not humble enough.
