I have a Wii U - General Discussion.

Mr E

Well no, not really. Maybe in the new year. :cool:

Since the other thread is pre-launch hype, rumours, speculation, buying info, etc., it's probably a good idea to start a new thread for talking about the console itself, now that some of you lucky sods have one sitting under your TV.

Depends what time you start. Playing Zombi U 2nd, then having to go outside in the dark or go to bed alone.... not a good idea. That said, if you play Bayonetta 1st, it's such a shift of pace when you move to Zombi U that you might find it a little boring. Still, it's a great dilemma to be stuck with

Edit : Wait, that's not a Dilemma, that's 2 votes for Zombi U first, Bayonetta 2nd.

76%, that's a first class honours. It's certainly not average.

When it comes to video games that's not a great score. The game has problems too, it's short and you have to play the game on the gamepad so the graphics are wasted on the TV.

Idk, I have so many games waiting to be played on the WiiU and ps4 I think I can wait for XenoX and Zelda by xmas.

Not really interested in Splatoon atm but I may pick it up to add to the backlog when it's released.

Playing RER2 on ps4 at the moment, would have loved it on the WiiU but sure what can ya do.

Finally got around to ordering Bayonetta 2 today! Easter weekend is sorted for me now.

Would it be worth taking a rare break from Nintendo and getting Revelations 2 on 360?

I'm trying not to be annoyed it's not on WiiU, but it bothers me immensely.

Ditto.

I presume you have No.1 on the Wii U like myself? Having No.2 in a different branded box, stored halfway across the room within another collection would be too much for my OCD to take!

Has anyone got one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Game-High-Capacity-Battery/dp/B00EZPU0E2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426889800&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+u+gamepad+battery

Yep.

1 & 2 on different consoles? I'm sorry, did you say DIFFERENT CONSOLES?

Tell me that again? Doesn't make sense.

(Plus wandering dangerously into fanboy territory, but I prefer my WiiU, and I prefer building that collection)

wampyrus77

plus amiibos from mario party games work just same as amiibo as for ssb, mario kart 8, captain toad, etc., not just my words if you watch last nintendo direct Mr Shibata these are his words too

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html

Banjo

But you can't use your amiibo for both SSB and Party, can you? I thought there was only enough room to store data for one game?

BTW are you saying you cashed in a Wii points card for eshop credit? That's not supposed to work but good luck t'ya if it did! If you ever see a 3000 pts card in tesco, scan it. I've seen them ticketed @ €5 on the shelf but never seen the actual card in stock. If you neglected to get your WiiU download code from your receipt at point of sale dont worry - you can view your receipts from your eshop account page at any time.

wampyrus77

i discovered something new for hyrules amiibos unlock new weapons all you play with so you aleast try using all amiibos u have to unlock all weapons everyday, and each amiibo gives different weapon to unlock

for captain toad amiibos from mario party or ssb give u 1ups mushrooms every ttime you play

watch last nintendo direct dude why would Mr Shibata lie to us

Some of us collect for more than just WiiU, more than just Nintendo, quite a few in my case.
And you just can't get Re:R2 for the WiiU, if you wanted symmetry you'd have to avoid the Nintendo copies of the game completely and buy it and it's prequel both on the PS3 or 360 :eek:

I'm currently on World 7 of Super Mario 3D World. I knew it was going to be good and was one of the main reasons I bought a WiiU. I didn't expect it to be such a phenomenaly good game.

Easily the best 3D Mario title and depending on how good the rest of the game is it could end up rivalling Mario World as the best in the series.

Splatoon is shaping up nicely.

Corholio

Another Splatoon preview - 3/4 hours of playtime.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/133298-splatoon-in-depth-preview-by-jove-nintendo-you-ve-only-gone-and-done-it-again

"Three to four hours of preview time is a lot these days, especially around two months before the finished game is due for release, but even that seemed woefully short. Not because we need more time to explore more of the game, but because Splatoon was one of the most accessible, funny and downright fun multiplayer experiences we've had since we first discovered the Mario Kart battle stages on the SNES.

If this early build is anything to go by, Nintendo has done it again. Ink-redible!"

I can't wait for it.
Out of Curiosity, has anyone used Gameseek for pre-ordering before?
Do they arrive on release day?

Also, a possible new game announcement coming soon?

and
2nd part of Satoru Iwata's interview with Time if anyone was reading it.

possible but gameseek more like a second hand store, have something new there is very unlikely and same goes for play.com

CiDeRmAn

Splatoon looks like its going to be brilliant, and proof positive, as if it was needed, that Nintendo can indeed do superb new IP as well.
I'll be interested to see if their online service can take the strain if this turns out to be a big success, as in BIG success.
Other arena shooters seem to be PC or nowt, but this being a console exclusive and possibly very very good, on a console whose cost is that which most serious gamers will pay for a mouse and keyboard, it could be that Nintendo have captured lightning in a bottle.
What would it take to make it a game to turn the heads of the pro leagues, or at least the person that takes these kinds of games very seriously indeed?

Thanks.
Has anyone seen a decent priced copy that should arrive here on release day?

It's something completely new, and (seems that it) has everyone excited about it.
I've been reading review after review after review

and watching videos...
I'm not usually one for reviews, No reason, but this makes great reading as nothing is similar to it.
Loving everything I'm seeing

That new game is rumoured to be a new Dragon Quest game. Articles in Asia are guessing that anyway.

Did anyone get on to club nintendo catalogue to see the games they have listed? I got on once but I presume it's very busy after the email was sent earlier.
Anyway ive 1250 points left and any game I want is 1300 points!
Decent selection on it in fairness pity they didn't do it years ago.

As recommended earlier in the thread, try and download something free from the eshop like pokemon shuffle or tank tank tank and fill in the survey for 50 stars. Hopefully that gets you over the line!

I'm not buying Splatoon after it was confirmed yesterday that there's no voice chat. In this day and age it's not on anymore. I gave them a pass on Smash Bros. Wii U and MK8 but not anymore.

Separate topic but why is it so horrendous viewing this site on the Wii U? It's so slow and keep getting script loading messages.
