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.

€88! How can you support that price? Look at what's in the bundle, nothing of any real value.

Edit: Add to that it's a minimalistic translation and censored unnecessarily.

Fortissimo Edition was up on Amazon Germany I managed to get an order in and it came to €88 quid

Gahh.. Missed it. Now to watch Amazon Italy and hope it appears at a similar price including delivery.

I live in hope that the poll was just to decide what order to make sequels for the NX in.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE (Standard Edition) is on Game.co.uk for £40 (~€51) and Amazon Germany for €70, But I can't seem to find the Fortissimo Edition anywhere. Rumours of a possible Sequel too. (That's what reminded me )

I'm sure there's a tiny bit of lag using the adaptor and GC controller with Super Smash Bros. I'm also sure that I could be using this as an excuse for being sh1t at it.

Yeah the Nunchuk/Wii Controller combo is awful. I wonder if the Wii U controller has any input lag, probably wouldn't. I'd actually get one if it didn't. I'm sure they can't be that pricey >_>

There is a little bit of lag on the controllers. Depending on your TV, that could also add to it. I've never noticed any. Part of the reason for the Gamecube controller adapter and the Pokken Tournament controller is that by plugging straight into the USB, it reduces lag input. That's for the professional players supposedly. Will USB 3.0 on the NX reduce it even more? I don't know.

Just on the topic of waggle, I started playing Hyrule Warriors co-op with the missus recently, and even though I own a boatload of regular Wii accessories, multiple classic controller pros from my Monster Hunting days etc, we were shocked to learn there are only three controller options.

- Gamepad
- Wii U Pro controller (which I don't own)
- Remote and nunchuk

I was further horrified to find that Remote and nunchuk controls let you remap all the buttons with complete freedom, EXCEPT for regular attack, which is hardlocked to controller waggle. There is probably no button pressed more repetatively than the regular attack button in a dynasty warriors game.

Now choosing our controller option in Hyrule Warriors has a real "lesser of two evils" quality:

-Do you want proper responsive buttons, and the tiny gamepad screen?
-Do you want the lovely big television, and waggle controls with more repetetive wrist movement than a vigourous mastubation session?

This almost immediately killed all our interest in playing though the game co-op. It's a shame, because it seems fun otherwise.

As good as I found the others, Bayonetta 2 easily for me. Love that game.

I voted for Bayonetta 2. Strange that Star Fox Guard is listed but the original Bayonetta isn't. Maybe want to give it some publicity.

You can choose who and how much of the money goes to who, Nintendo or charity. And there's a humble bundle tip jar if I remember rightly.

Do the codes expire? I've a few that I don't have use for right now.

Any recommendations for Citizens of Earth? Are there differences between Wii U / 3DS in features, stability etc?

Conan would have slayed them if he'd only been allowed to use a Pro controller, or if the powers that be had allowed the GC adapter to be used on more games than just Smash Bros

That tablet has a Shiekah/Lens of Truth symbol on it. And it looks a bit like the gamepad. Maybe we might use the gamepad screen when using this item.

But Skyward Sword is built on the motion controls, whereas twilight princess really wasn't, so it was an easy port (I imagine)

Very true, I hated the motion controls in SS. Gave up in the last quarter of it. Why to people get so pissy when you say you didn't like the motion controls in SS?

I'm sure if there was to be a SSHD they would use the gamepad for the motion controls.

I hope it's not delayed too., shouldn't be, just translations and massive censorship to be done.

Poor WiiU

what else has an official release date for the WiiU from now to Xmas? Paper Mario doesn't have a release date yet does it?

Things are bleak for the U.

Sometimes when all is falling apart around you, it's best to just laugh because if I didn't, I'd be ranting and raving like a lunatic. And I might just yet.

Edit: Nintendo plans on selling 800,000 Wii U's this financial year. Wow! Where's that fork because this thing is done?

Mr E

Looks like Zelda will be playable at E3 this year (and it will be their only playable demo on the floor). Should give us an idea of what the final game will be like. Hopefully there will be no issues there from the outset (Starfox controls, I'm looking at you...)
