Nintendo WiiU : Thread 04

[Team Andromeda]

ast thing we need is another MS or Sony who are essentially churning out the same **** as each other. The WiiU is great. Love the gamepad. Many great games. Hardly any Call of Duty.

To be fair to SONY they offer the most diverse line up out of any of them and have done since the PS2 days .

I really don't get all the Nintendo bitching. They are a massively successful company, have an enormous amount of money in the bank, and yet they cop **** from everyone.

Hey so do Microsoft :P .

How do Wii games look when playing in HD on your Wii U, & are they compatible with the Wii U Screen Pad thingy?
Do you need to purchase a separate HD cable for better results?

Damned it, i chose TW101 as my free game choice and got the code, but then realized i have a serious shortage of space on my WiiU...its 12.9gb!

If anyone was going to choose TW101 as a free DL and hasn't used their free game option yet, i'd be super happy if you could PM me and i'd trade my TW101 code for Zelda or possibly something else?

Zelda is even bigger, over 20gb supposedly.

I really don't get all the Nintendo bitching. They are a massively successful company, have an enormous amount of money in the bank, and yet they cop **** from everyone. They do things their way and **** everyone else. Good on them. Last thing we need is another MS or Sony who are essentially churning out the same **** as each other. The WiiU is great. Love the gamepad. Many great games. Hardly any Call of Duty.

I still expect them to "win" this generation, not that they would care in the slightest about such nonsense.

That's cute, but the fact that the Wii-U has massively undersold speaks otherwise. Give it a few weeks when MK8 has died down, and everyone will be moaning about where the next game is.

The online and account side of things is still light years behind everybody else, and whilst everyone else offers 500GB of storage as standard, Wii-U owners get 32GB. A problem already for some who cannot D/L the free game Nintendo gave them for buying MK8. Nobody gives away free games, unless there is a problem somewhere.

The various control schemes depending on what game you want to play is nothing short of confusing either, especially for soccer Moms.

MH3:U is good though.

I chose Zelda, its a safe purchase size wise, took just under 2GB

[PaTaito]

Zelda is even bigger, over 20gb supposedly.

No its very small, 2.4gb ish if i recall correctly.

[Budge74]

You're right. I moved that decimal point.

[Brad]

Got zelda. My imagination or are the yellows now a bit green?

MK8online is brilliant. Extremely stable, no lag issues and pre race chat for 12 people.

Using the word cute just makes you seem like a douche bag.

How ironic.

This, is also cute: After launching late last week, Mario Kart 8 has become the Wii U's fastest-selling game ever with more than 1.2 million units already sold worldwide, Nintendo announced today. This number is according to the company's internal sales data and accounts for sales in the Americas, Europe, and Japan.

Theres only 6 million consoles to sell too, how long do you think those numbers will keep up? throw in the fact that wiiu gamers have been gagging for a big release since m3dw and it was always going to do well initially. Give it a few weeks and everyone who wants it will have it, its a good game but hardly going to drive the millions of people nintendo need to buy consoles.

82% of purchases got the bundle. I expect this to be the turning point. Again, not that it matters. If Nintendo bring out 6-10 games a year, I'm happy.

6-10 games a year? How will they managed that kind of development cycle whilst keeping the quality up?

[Jaz]
