Nintendo WiiU : Thread 04

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

I don't know what free game to go for when my MK8 Wii U bundle turns up.

MH3, Sonic Lost World, Sonic & Mario Olympics or Wonderful 101.
Which one guys?

[Neon Ignition]

Depending on your gaming tastes either MH3 or Wonderful 101 i'd venture. Sonic Lost Worlds really is guff

[VR46]

I think last three of those games Superman can be bought for ?20 physically, MH3 can't.

Mario 3d world. Surely it's the default choice?

Not one of the free games is it?

[dataDave]

No, it's not.

My wife found Monster Hunter for 25quid.

It's a coin toss between 'MMO Lite HD ver.2013' and 'Deep n Zany Action 1(01)'.

[dataDave]

Just, don't let me see you including Sonic and TW101 in the same sentence again.

[fishbowlhead]

I've heard TW101 is alright, might be worth a go for free I suppose

[Greg Moss]

I might pick up Zelda as the freebie, although Monster Hunter would be a close second choice.

Does anyone know if Deus Ex can be played with off screen play? Really tempted to pick it up as it's on amazon for just under ?10.

[Sam The Man]

Regarding off screen play, can you actually play through an entire game from beginning to end on the pad?

You can apparently. Apart from the odd ones that force you to combine TV and pad play, which seems to be a small percentage of games.

There's a list of supported off-screen games here http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-TV_Play

Yes you can although I had mega trouble with the aiming controls as did one other on here. Others have been fine though.

Speaking of Wii U bargains, NBA 2K13 is ?3.85 delivered at Shopto, scores 85 on metacritic.com but the online servers are already closed if that was your plan

Do you need to set up the sensor bar for Wii U or only for Wii games?
