Yes, you are wrong. It's much more powerful than the Wii, at least as powerful as 360/PS3.

I assumed Darksiders would be able to be played on the pad since I remember that was one of the first dev interviews about Wii U. They said they had it running on the pad by just adding a line of code when they were just messing around to see what it could do. So unless they decided not to go ahead with it

Yup was confirmed a few weeks ago

Hey guys. I haven't been on this site in ages, but I was just wondering if the Wii U should be pre ordered or not. I was thinking about getting one for myself but I'm worried if it will be sold out. What do you think? Are they going to sell out or will they be easily available? I'm sorry if this is the wrong section for posting this.
Thanks a lot.

It sounds like they'll be sold out; some shops are reporting they may not even be able to meet pre-orders.

Will the Zombie U console be the best value at €419.99 or would it be better to go for a Premium with Nintendo Land for €379.99 and get Zombie U elsewhere.

Im personally getting the the zombiU bundle as it also comes with the pro controller the premium bundle does not include the controller.

If there's a HMV near you, it's 380 for the Zombi U bundle

Add batman to this now too

That's great news anyone know if blops 2 or FIFA 13 can be played solely on game pad?

Well this time next week we should have a lot of our questions answered.

Actually do the Wii U game boxes state if they have offscreen play, does anyone know? Doesn't look like the Raving Rabbids game does

Im curious how nintendo do their online ...

There has being no mention of it yet

Miiverse so you can "pwn noobs" on the integrated facebooke, and share achievements with the world.
activision's own servers for online gameplay by linking it with your nintendo network account ID, which you need to register for when you first turn on the console.
check the videos 1-3 pages back for such information.

just dance and ninja gaiden have a upad symbol on the back, but i'm not sure if that means it requires a upad or if it means offtv play. The icon should be a tv with rabbit ears and a big X through it.

I really should have read up more on the wii U. Im only finding out now that some games are not playable off screen:eek: Im getting the premium Wii U with rayman legends, just dance 4 & Nintendo-land. This is the bundle they are doing so ill have to order Mario bros separately

Rayman legends is delayed until next year
