Wii U - thread 3

Wind Waker HD is so lazy. When it was originally announced it looked like they were re-doing the whole game.

Massive LOLS. I raced down the bottom of the page to post that but you beat me to it.

They should of let people buy in game items and set treasure hunts up with the tingle bottle. Set up clues, maps etc, seems a missed opertunity for a fun little multiplayer mode.

Sucks they removed the tingle tuner for some tacked on bottle instead, it's not like they couldn't have left it in. The damn console comes with a second screen. I have many fond memories of playing through windwaker with Tingle assistance & been the helper out too.

Makes me wonder if the statue finding part is still in the game, that was a huge undertaking & made it still fun to play way after you had completed it. Filling all the rooms with the statues was almost a whole game in itself.

The system needs a plethora of good games. Full stop. That's true for any console of course, but the Wii U hardware, to my mind, is so underwhelming that, unlike the next systems from MS and Sony that promise blu-ray playing, ****loads of apps, free games for subscribers etc., only good games will sell the Wii U.

I picked a Wii U up super cheap earlier in the week and it just doesn't feel very next gen, it's slow to use, the tablet ain't as responsive as I hoped, the battery life is shocking, there's no game that demonstrates why the tablet is needed, and Nintendo's decision to save pennies by removing flash support (for web videos) and dolby pro logic for wii games means the web broswer and wii mode feel half-baked.

None of that will matter much when, or if, it has a library of good games, but it's not a great starting point.

Wrong thread, but has anyone here bought Bit Trip Runner 2 from the eShop? I can't find a first play thread on here and wanna know if it's any good?

It was quoted on BBC's Click this week that the wii is out selling the Wii U ! How about that for a kick in the balls

Wonder what region/time span that was over.

Speaking of stats, I read yesterday that Windows XP had a higher market share in July 2013 than it did in July 2012, only a tiny bit higher but even still, God knows how that's happened.

Charlie - Bit Trip Runner 2 - a friend said it's great, I don't own it, check out the reviews of Metacritic.com for a consensus from quite a few sources. Or, www.nintendolife.com reviews are fairly spot on in my opinion.

Shades of the PSV. It only just overtook the PSP in monthly sales.

Do you think the next-gen Nintendo console will be called the "Wii", suffixed by another letter? Like the "Wii X" or something?

[wakka]

The Wii-a-boo. It only plays kawaii japanese games.

If i was Nintendo, I'd make sure that the next console was the most powerful out of the three. I'd call it something awesome like the "Ultra Famicom", and make sure it had the best third-party support as well as in-house titles.

[cutmymilk]

Hypothetical time! Would it be doing better if it was called a Wii 2 and looked different in style to the Wii?
