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.

The game is alright. Definitely not a patch on Galaxy, Galaxy 2 or Super Mario 64. I think it's highly overrated and limited in some respects. I'm still waiting for a real Mario game which we won't now get on Wii U. I don't really think of it a 3D Mario. *awaiting the hate*

I'm with you on this one. I want to love it, but it ain't no Galaxy.

I'm wondering what will happen my Xenoblade if it's delivered by UPS. Nearest depot to Letterkenny is Dublin, according to their map. All the other courier services have local offices. I'm sure it'll be delayed even more by updating to the "Rural area" status

Mr E

Ah Jesus....

Why the hell are they charging 30 quid if it's just vanilla minecraft with no gamepad functionality? </sligeach>

I'm going to guess because they can, and know people will buy it, foolish people, like me.

That's a big letdown for the game alright the only thing that could of made it unique.

They are suggesting that the off screen play is the bug advantage of the title on WiiU.
Not sure that'd be a seller for me.
And I'd prefer a physical copy too.

I'd prefer a physical copy too, especially at that price.
I said I won't buy it at that price, but I can already feel myself waning..

If I hold off until after the hubbub has died down, then maybe (hopefully) I won't.

Touch screen inventory management would've been a nice touch alright. Sad to see they're doing a lazy console port.

McLoughlin

A physical copy was mentioned on twitter by the company behind the game

Allyall

Nintendocraft probably would've been better. :rolleyes:

My Xenoblade arrived an hour ago

Classic!

Bah, no inventory on the gamepad is a disappointment! Surely thats the selling point for buying the game on Wii U??? Oh well, might not be so inclined to purchase this day one, just hope it gets patched in at a later date.

Amazon france?

Going by the current status, I think they have to play it at customs before approving it

Yep, Amazon France. I didn't mind the delay, although it was very slow for them.

So I will have Fatal Frame/Project Zero and Xenoblade for the baby jaysus birthday and i reckon they both could be rare games you know the kind that prices go sky high on Ebay.

What other Wii U games do you think will be rare/command high prices in a few years ? Luigi and Pikmin 3 perhaps ?

CastorTroy

Xenoblade just arrived to the door. Wasn't expecting a delivery this late. Now to not play it. :-)

Is it being delivered by An Post or a private courier?

CastorTroy

Was a fastway van anyway

Allyall

Mine was a private courier.

Physical copies of Wonderful 101, deffo the Special Editions of games especially the Bayonetta 2 that came in a book.

Fatal Frame possibly will be but I don't think Xenoblade will be, certainly nothing like the Wii version has become.

The first print edition. I saw that on a German site about two weeks ago for €42.
The same site (giga.de) had something else on the side menu that distracted me and I started following the links wherever they led. The next day I went back looking for it and couldn't find it.

Feckin' side menus.. :rolleyes:

I have a PAL copy of Scribblenauts Unmasked.
The game was released in the US but the only PAL territory was Australia, so there is not do many out there, I'd say it may climb in value over time.

The most expensive Wii U game I saw in Gamestop today (used) was Hyrule Warriors @ €49.99.
Did that sell well?
I don't have it, but that made me think about looking for it.

Guys, the value of a game is measured in Fun, not dollars! Unwrap them! Play them! Artificially raise the value of my unopened Xenoblade Chronicles Ltd Edition by making it slightly rarer!

Apologies if this is covered waaay back in the thread - got a Wii U a couple of months ago and really only starting to use it now. Mainly picking up and playing games that I missed on the Wii (Skyward Sword, Galaxy 2) but I'm wondering what people rate as must-play Wii U games?

It sold well. The price is just Gamestop being Gamestop, i.e. rip-off merchants. I haven't bought from them in years and would be very reluctant to give them any money.

Charts here, may help... - http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/47/wii-u/

If you can avoid buying Star Sky........ Then you probably should.

For me personally it'd be:
Mario Kart 8
Super Smash Bros for Wii U
Super Mario 3D World
Zelda: Wind Waker HD
Bayonetta 2
Pikmin 3
