Nintendo WiiU : Thread 04

[Sam The Man]

Agreed.

I adored Waverace Blue Storm on the GC, for me better than the N64 version with some of the best water effects to ever be seen, certainly that generation.

Yeah another in agreement here. The Gamecube is one of my favorite consoles and id love more HD remakes of the machines games like F-Zero GX and Mario Sunshine. I also preferred Blue Storm to the N64 wave Race for the same reasons you mentioned above so i'd definitely want a Wii U remake of that aswel. Id also love to see some 3rd party remakes like Viewtiful Joe.

For me, the machine has this year at best and that's being generous.

And no doubt the share holders have given it until the end of the year too.

Day off tomorrow so planning on playing MK8 until the wee hours.

The new system update is pretty good. Straight into MK8, no messing.

I'd tell you to eat a dick but yeah, don't want to encourage that sort of thing.

No need for that my friend. Your keyboard get the better of you?

Is anyone else getting bum raped by Zavvi, they still havnt shipped my Mario Kart order since Friday hnnnnnng

[VR46]

They do have some really bad spells Zavvi, tried chasing them up? I would rather pay a couple of quid more for Shopto/Amazon etc.

Update didn't take too long. Could be my new 500Mbps fibre link though

500mbps, are you transferring high deff video between the moon and back?

[Jaz]

Nope, just what they have in Singapore.

Crikey. Any chance you can run a speediest.net and post results? what is your upload speed?
Am on 30mb down and handful of mb up here. Makes us look archaic!

[Jaz]

No Club Nintendo though unless you fudge a US account.

On the other side, when I'm at home in NZ I have dial up. Yep, dial up.

In China, 8Mbps.

God Mario 3D World... the 4 year old niece doesn't really bother and just presses whatever while holding the controller incredibly loosely and running in one direction. The 5 year old is getting to grips with it but she has terrible depth perception lol it kinda frustrates me to watch them play...

Well my landlords have some ****e 3G router which sucks monkey ****. I've not been able to connect to a single game since Saturday and have spent most of my time since then mastering network dynamics to absolutely no avail. It's putting me off of the game.

My phone's 3G hotspot is just as bad, despite being perfectly adequate for PC gaming giving me around 50ms latency when playing CS:GO or LoL. The WiiU just doesn't want to be friends with it. I phone up SingTel for assistance and they only try selling me a 4G contract with a drop from 12gb to 2gb data. Yeah right. Teats.

[Jaz]

The landlords in Singapore are the worst. I ended up buying a place mainly to avoid them. I'll be here a while so why not. My last inspection ended with me having to go to the supermarket to get a light bulb as one had blown. ****. That.

500Mbps is fast but not as fast as you'd think. I found the jump from 8-30 the most significant.

I mainly got it as the only TV I watch is Youtube / torrents and my telly has an app so nice and easy.

[wakka]

I like this new Quick Start feature, means you can jump into a game much more quickly. Before it was sooooo slowwwww to do that with the Wii U's glacial OS.
