#83777 Possible Hint at a Zombie Game on the Wii U?

Posted by mrback on 04 June 2012 - 07:24 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I think a really good zombie shooter game could utilize the WiiU gamepad with the zapper attachment. If youve seen that E3 2011 road demo which shows the inside view of a car but you can look in all directions with the gamepad. Imagine this sort of idea used in a pitch black room & you using the gamepad to look all around the room for enemies in a night vision look (like in the movie REC) That would be ace & crazy scary.
A bit like this but with more moving around the room:

#74720 Tomorrow is the day, when to expect new info?

Posted by mrback on 25 April 2012 - 09:38 AM in Wii U Hardware

To be honest I'm quite flabbergasted at the lack of any real info about wiiu not materialising. 6 weeks to go till E3 & nothing but smoke & mirrors. Hopefully some good info tomoz.



#47724 WiiU where? When?

Posted by mrback on 17 December 2011 - 06:03 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Hello to all :) there seems to be a real lack of any kind of news on wiiu at the minute. Just snippets here & there. The machine could potentially be about in about 6-8 months time??? When do you think Nintendo will start to begin really pushing the wiiu at shows etc? The next big show is CES in Vegas in January but not sure if they will show then. When is Tokyo game show?



#46061 Wii U specs leaked?

Posted by mrback on 09 December 2011 - 03:47 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm not a programmer or hardware genius so I'm not that savvy with the current Wii specs but could have been that difficult to have made it 720p? I'm not sure what they would have had to have added to make this an option. I think having a bit of extra oomph & HD would have made the Wii more appealing to hardcore crowd & probably would have had more third party support. They would have had both bases covered in the casual/family crowd they really cornered with the Wii & the people who went with 360/PS3. This seems to be what they are doing with WiiU as they finally have a machine what can do both sides of the market really well. In terms of motion gaming the new Zelda game is the most impressive I've experienced, I've tried loads of kinect & PS move games but wasnt overly impressed. Really hoping the WiiU is truly next gen & not just a notch up from the current crowd but wouldnt be too bothered in all honesty. To be able to play some of the classic nintendo brands in HD will be great :)



#46000 Wii U specs leaked?

Posted by mrback on 09 December 2011 - 02:40 AM in Wii U Hardware

I was just thinking that if nintendo had spent a bit more on the Wii & not been so concerned in making a big profit on each one sold that they could have stuck a hdmi & made it 720p. Then they could have got another 18 months at least out of the current Wii. I must admit & did prefer it when the hardware cycle was around every 4-5 years. It gave the industry a shot in the arm every few years but console's are lastin longer & longer. God know's how long after the next gen will be!

#45421 Can you imagine Mario with PS3 graphics?

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 12:10 PM in Wii U Games and Software

#45415 HD remakes on WiiU

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:57 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I heard an interview with Reggie about WiiU being backwards compatible with Wii software but the original games wont play in HD. This got the cynic in me thinking that it's pretty obvious there are gonna be a shedload of HD remakes for the WiiU probably available through the online store. So what games would you like HD remakes of? Or do you think I'm being an stingy old cynic :o

oops, just noticed another thread with a very similar topic. a moderator can delete if appropiate.



#45414 Wii U Price Discussion

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:47 AM in Wii U Hardware

working in games retail I'm gonna hazard a guess at £299.99. :wacko:



#45413 its just a rumor.... but nintendo should jump on this

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:44 AM in Wii U Hardware

GTA V with some kind of WiiU exclusive content deal would get the mature audience right on board. Have rockstar done a nintendo game? Table Tennis?



#45412 What do you want to see at E3 2012 for Wii U?

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:40 AM in Wii U Hardware

price, release date, launch lineup with at least a couple of killer apps. Resident Evil 6 & Half Life "3" WiiU exclusives :P



#45410 Wii U + EA's Origin? Valve trying to get into Wii U?

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:37 AM in Wii U Hardware

one things for sure, Nintendo have to get there online sorted 100% when WiiU is released. I'm not sure if you can have steam & origin but it would be great to have both options. More choice for YOU the player.



#45407 Wii U specs leaked?

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 11:29 AM in Wii U Hardware

There's still some pretty amazing visuals coming from the current gen & some of the stuff for 2012 looks amazing. Tomb Raider & Hitman being a couple of examples. I'd be really happy if the WiiU knocks out 1080p 60fps with the games that are released. I wasnt too excited about WiiU initially but after doing a bit of research & watching some of the vid's that are knocking about I'm pretty stoked for it now :)
Somebody said that the WiiU is what nintendo should have released when the Wii was released which I think is a bit harsh but if they had made it just 720p I'm sure they would have got a couple of more years out of it.
The form factor of the WiiU is quite small so I'm not sure how much beef you can fit inside the thing, I havent built a pc for about 5 years though, ha ha :)



#45376 hello to all

Posted by mrback on 05 December 2011 - 07:49 AM in Introduction Central

Many thanks to all the kind replies. The first game I played was 3d monster maze on zx81. A sure fire classic! That killer freaks game on WiiU looks pretty good. Currently playing skyward sword on Wii. I just enjoy good games regardless of what system they are on. It helps to have most of the systems when you work in retail. If I get any WiiU info/snippets I'll be sure to post. Looking forward to a mario game in HD mostly. Skyward sword in standard def is Such a shame, would have looked fab in HD. It's a cracking game though.
