how the spotpass work on wii u

Banjo · 03-03-2013 02:29AM

You need a really long extension lead!

Nah, hang on, that's streetpass. spotpass is based on wireless Internet connection, so I'm guessing it works the same as the Wii (connect24 or something to that effect) , but they've used the same name the 3ds, uses for consistent branding

Yeah but 1 miiverse friend is worth 250 Facebook if they come up with some great drawings...

That's kinda why I love it. Played the Everton v Reading match on FIFA last night and spent more time posting on Miiverse with screenshots than playing the match. The bottle of rum didn't help I suppose but still...Mam doesn't really support the Toffees.

sony also just creat new gamepad for their consoles, know what its does same jobs as wii u gamepad nintendo, other gadget they copied from nintendo, Their last gadget they copied from nintendo was sony motion play remote and motion camera, which does same job as nintendo wii remote/plus controller and nintendo motion camera.

Banjo · 03-03-2013 08:56PM

Not to mention that they stole the idea of making a games console off nintendo

The funny thing is the Playstation actually did come around due to Nintendo pulling out of a contract to create a CD Rom expansion for the SNES. That then eventually became the PS1.

wampyrus77 · 03-03-2013 10:58PM

Dance pads, essentially a grid of flat pressure sensitive gamepad buttons set on a mat meant to be stepped on, have seen niche success with the popularity of rhythm games like Dance Dance Revolution and Pump It Up. The dance pad was first introduced by Bandai on the Famicom in 1986 as a part of their "Family Fun Fitness" set, then Exus released the "Foot Craz" pad for the Atari 2600 in 1987. Nintendo purchased the technology from Bandai in 1988 and used it on their "Power Pad", for the Famicom and NES.

I think that wireless set up is fairly modern, certainly not available back in the day when SNES was current gen, still a fantastic bit of kit though, I want one!!

Mr E · 04-03-2013 12:35AM

Guys back on topic please. This is a Wii U discussion, not a console history discussion!

Banjo · 04-03-2013 01:32AM

Also, it may be flat and pressure sensitive but for God's sake don't use your WiiU controller as a dance mat

wampyrus77 · 04-03-2013 02:05AM

i dont need to i ve wii dancemat, i hope someday a wii u game comes out suitable for it, i can use it on wii u dance game

wampyrus77 · 04-03-2013 02:54PM

Also i ve Wii Balance Board, i hope someday a wii u game comes out suitable for it, i can use it on wii u fit

Star Lord · 04-03-2013 03:12PM

Yup, Wii U Fit will use the balance board. I really don't know if we'll get any other games that will use it though! (Unless they make another Wii U Fit game after the first one!)

Banjo · 04-03-2013 03:41PM

the first time they have to replace a controller screen in warranty because someone lost their balance on the balance board and landed on it, will be the last time they release a WiiU game with Balance Board compatibility...

Doubt something like that would be covered by a warranty! That'd only cover manufacturer issues.

Banjo · 04-03-2013 04:37PM

I think you underestimate how convincing an argument I can put forward, if a game encourages me to stand on one leg while holding the controller pad

I can also make a case for getting confused by ambiguous instructions that lead me to stand on the controller pad while holding the balance board.

Well, this could be my last night in this thread, my Zavvi WiiU has apparently landed in the ParcelMotel depot up the north so should be ready for collection tomorrow. I may have to migrate to the "I've got a WiiU" thread. Then again, I might be back on tomorrow night complaining that they shipped everything except the WiiU, or that I received a box full of rubber wristbands and USB connector housings. Either way, it's adventure time!

Smashing news dude! Get yourself a bottle to celebrate.

If it asks you to system update or even game update, cancel and it'll download in the background. That way, you can dive straight into a game without being gee-eyed by the time the updates are finished. Then, when you're going to bed, set it off manually and tell it to shut down after it finishes.

And whatever you do do not plug it out or turn it off before it's finished!!!!

But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget - no matter how much he cries, or how much he begs, never, never feed him after midnight

richymcdermott · 04-03-2013 10:40PM

as deano said , dont unplug while updating or you be hearing the ambulance arrive

Wii u Wii u Wii u Wii u Wii u !
