#295997 Gamepad works fine but doesnt appear on tv screen

Posted by chainmychomp on 16 August 2014 - 08:20 AM in Wii U Hardware Help

I'm having the same issue currently actually, I first unplugged and plugged back in everything with no avail.  Then I used the HDMI on a different television, but again with no avail.  I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to try to fix this before I send it in, as I don't when I'll have the funds to pay for it to be repaired...

Never mind, I had the wrong resolution match-up with my WiiU, not sure when that occurred, but it's fixed now.




#274886 The Next Mana Game Has Been Announced!

Posted by chainmychomp on 27 February 2014 - 05:54 AM in General Gaming

First Breath of Fire, and now Mana... what's the next RPG series to fall under the mobile irrelevancy?




#274885 Unofficial PRE-E3 Talk

Posted by chainmychomp on 27 February 2014 - 05:51 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm hoping for something about the next Advanced Wars game to be confirmed, system, if it's actually coming out, release date, etc etc.  I'm not actually expecting it to appear in the conference itself, but probably a producer or developer at Intelligent Systems will say something about it it there's anything to say.




#270550 Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 - 6.0 at Game Informer

Posted by chainmychomp on 04 February 2014 - 06:49 PM in General Gaming

^Lament of Innocence was a great game, never played the other PS2 Castlevania game though... heard it wasn't as good, perhaps this year is a good time to try it out.




#268431 I wish [blank] comes to Wii U and why. No old ports. New games.

Posted by chainmychomp on 24 January 2014 - 07:45 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Ni No Kuni 2

Dark Souls 2

Generally quality JRPG games and good puzzle games (my two third party genre interests to be honest, don't play much else anymore but those and some Nintendo games.  I'm an awful consumer and should feel awful, etc etc)




#268427 MK8 Wii U's last chance according to major UK retailer

Posted by chainmychomp on 24 January 2014 - 07:27 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I don't think even this can truly reverse Nintendo's fortunes, considering that Mario Kart's overdone now... the price drop may help, but over-utilization of ones properties doesn't exactly lead to incentive for non-hardcore fans to buy the game, as previous versions of the game exists.  Although it could be good online fun just the same on a console with few large online communities...




#266571 Nintendo Direct Predictions for this month:

Posted by chainmychomp on 14 January 2014 - 02:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Mario Kart 8

New Yoshi's Island

Only two on which I'm willing to speculate.




#266560 What games have you recently finished?

Posted by chainmychomp on 14 January 2014 - 02:37 PM in General Gaming

The Legend of Zelda:  A Link Between Worlds.  Makes me wish that I still owned A Link to the Past...




#266557 Gamestop posts worse than expected holiday sales

Posted by chainmychomp on 14 January 2014 - 02:32 PM in General Gaming

Here's a story I found on a blog (a political one, so it's probably out of the interest of this forum):

GameStop lowers its holiday earnings forecast

By Ben Fox Rubin

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) lowered its already soft earnings estimate for the critical holiday quarter, as the videogame retailer continues to struggle with weaker sales and consumer interest in cheaper mobile games.

Shares fell following the news. As of Monday’s close, the stock was down 12% in the past three months.

The company now expects to post quarterly income of $1.85 to $1.95 a share, down from its downbeat November forecast of $1.97 to $2.14 a share. However, same-store sales are expected to reach the high end of its guidance. The retailer had predicted a 2% to 9% rise.

GameStop also trimmed its full-year earnings estimate, now seeing $2.96 to $3.06 a share, down from its November view of $3.08 to $3.25 a share.

With videogame sales continuing to slide, the Grapevine, Texas, company has struggled to contend with consumers increasingly turning toward cheaper mobile games.

Looks like GameStop having difficulties, I imagine that online sales from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Steam, et al, is beating the crap out of them.

#262021 Guess who's now an owner of a ps4 :D

Posted by chainmychomp on 17 December 2013 - 09:07 PM in General Gaming

To add to the whole Knack discussion, I believe GameInformer liked it.

The newest issue gave it a 8.25/10, pretty good really.  Mind, I haven't played it yet (haven't brought a PS4 and have no intentions on doing so until Final Fantasy XV/Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out), so I can't verify anything else stated in this thread.
