Rayman Legends delayed until Q3 2013

i think you mean Q1 still not great but id imagine out january but are covering themselves by saying first 3 months so that if it goes back to feb or even march they can say well we said first 3 months. disappointed but gives me time to get through other games first and then get this early 2013

That's me getting Nintendo Land instead of Rayman Legends at launch then!

Think my line-up will be:
ZombiU bundle
Nintendo Land
AC 3
And probably Just Dance 4 at some stage as the gf wants to get me shakin' my ass. ¬_¬

I'm getting the Zombiu bundle and then Nintendoland and Mario as well. I'm going to get AC3 on xbox since it's what I played the rest of the games on and I don't know if the gamepad will add much. There's also the chance shops will charge more for the Wii-U version because of it being a new console (Amazon are charging £10 more at the moment).

Gonna be cash based like the 3DS one i believe!
Depends on the title, nothing announced yet - but i'd say most of the above would be the 10-15 euro range

Jesus 10-15 that's expensive

Mr E

Same as PS3/360. Nothing new there.

Now 10-15 for Virtual Console games? That's a whole other debate.

Ol' Donie

Anyone know how pre orders are going? I mean, are they likely to be taken up by now?

While im at it, any word on midnight launch anywhere?

Thanks

Yeah same as the others. Obviously some titles will be cheaper.

I'd pay 15 for Gamecube games if they had them to the Virtual Console, maybeeeee 20 at a stretch for some (the likes of the wind waker of course :P)

DARK-KNIGHT

Traded my 3dsxl into GameStop and got 200 towards the wii u for it

bazzz

Not sure if this has been posted already,but here is a slight insight to the build of the Wii U.....It's a session of Iwata Asks.
To be honest they didn't really give too much detail away.

Hi Guys would anyone know if it's still €380 for ZombiU bundle in HMV? That's a really good offer.

Hey I was in HMV Cork During week and now have it official display stand with 380e. Also Basic Wii U 289e. Thats best Ive seen and I think 350e for middle bundle.

Looking good so far. I put together a bit on my recent time with Wii U
********************************************
I went over to Eurogamer Expo 2 weeks ago and spent two days playing the Wii U.
Wii U did absolutely not disappoint even with my high Expectations.

Star of the Show was between Rayman and NintendoLand.
Rayman was great fun assisting on the GamePad while someone else control rayman with ProController
And didn’t feel like ‘assisting’, actually felt like I had cooler of the 2 jobs to get us thru whole level.

NintendoLand had 5 demos, Zelda was so so for me, Ninja Stars was fun but nothing to write home about.
BUT Luigi’s Mansion was best craic ive had in multiplaying in a long time, both for wiimote and gamepad players,
Also a similar game where collect fruit and gamepad person controls two guys to chase ye down, that was equally as fun.
And then there was DonkeyKong, holy crap, its unforgiving but addictive as hell.

Also tried Pikmin 3, darksiders, tekken, Panarama, Trine and Mario bros, none stood out,
Mario just needs to be brought home didn’t suit the environment at Games Con, neither did ZombieU,
ZombiU Im most excited about but on show floor, had no sound, dark scenes made hard to hear zombies come up from behind and killu.
It will be good but looking forward to launch day to tell how good it will be.

And still theres Fifa 13, CoD, AC3 and such to come at launch. MiiVerse, TVii
And Nintendo so far have really given Zero 1st party Support in my opinion but that’s fine, that’s what 2013 is far, im fine with that.

Lastly The Best part of Wii U, THE GAMEPAD,
I might be Tendo Fanboy but Nintendo do cheap out somethings,
But not on the Pad, the screens is perfect, really bright, colors great,
Brilliant viewer angles and everything looked HD, Rayman, Mario etc all looked unreal.

Release day cant come soon enough

LauraW7746

Thanks for your reply, I was also at eurogamer and played super mario U and ZombiU which I queued 2 hours for it was mental! Did not disappoint though. I only went to eurogamer 1 day but will be going 2 days next year for sure as I didn't get to play everything I wanted! I will head down to HMV cork tomorrow and preorder!

FutureGuy

Can't see myself shelling 400 euro for a new Mario game. Besides ZombiU, I have played every other game already.

Im wondering if somebody can help me. Im thinking about buying this for the kids for xmas and wanted to know if games can be played on the handheld without the console turned on? So lets say i got COD and FIFA13 could these games be played on the the two handhelds without using the actual console.

Reason being the two of the lads are never done fighting about which game goes on next.:rolleyes:

No, cause the controller isn't really a handheld, it just streams what the console is pumpiing out, so whatever game is in it. Also. initially it's only going to be compatible with 1 Gamepad; they're not even going to be sold separately.

wingnut32

Really? So two people cant play it:(

They can, it's compatible with Wii Remotes and there's also a Pro Controller being brought out that looks like an Xbox controller. Only 1 person can use the Gamepad though. It's called asymmetrical gameplay. If you look up videos of Nintendoland you'd be able to see how it works.

Kinski

Bet the console owner is going to end up playing on the gamepad in most multiplayer sessions; given the cost of the thing and the built-in screen, who is going to trust their mate Smudgy McButterfingers with it when he calls round for a session?

Tayla

Does anyone know if nintendo land will be playable with the pro controller or the classic controller rather than the wiimote and Nunchuck or are games like mario chase made so that the extra players have to use the wiimote?

DARK-KNIGHT

Anyone else disappointed with laziness on nuntendos part with regards to product name and design??

I mean to add u on to name of current console is just boring and the wii u looks the exact same as the wii.

The WiiU can use up to 4 controllers - any 4 controllers. A max of 2 gamepads can be used.
