You can't even compare both versions of tracks. It's like night and day.

Didn't Iwata say that they would still release two consoles: one portable and one living room console? They did. What they said is that they wanted to build them with similar achitectures to create an ecosystem similar to Android and iOS. There were no plans to make a two-in-one console here...

 

...I feel I'm missing the point of this thread.

Participated while saying "Here goes nothing!"

 

Also, for once, Quebecese residents are allowed to participate.

I'm 26 and I loooooooooooooove Super Mario 3D World.

For Knack, I never tried it because I have no PS4 and I don't plan to have one. But one thing's sure, I think the reviews are mitigated on this one...

Good idea!

Also, the links in "Power" section aren't linked at all.

You know, this reminds me, I need to sue Nintendo as well. They stole my idea for plastic. 

I legit laughed at this.

500 000 to 600 000. In NA only, I mean.

 

From Gaf, obviously. It's absolutely brillant.

I'm still positive that WiiU sales will pick up but... Iwata said Pikmin 3 would save it. Result: No. The Wonderful 101? No. Wind Waker HD? No. Super Mario 3D World? Doesn't look like it. Does ONE game can save a console? No.

Amazon italy leaked an other version of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's cover art revealing a probable forurth caracther.
 I'll let you see for yourself.

No, you need to use the wii u or a game disc.

This, unfortunately.

It could be way much shorter to update if you could download through your computer AND be able to update somebody's WiiU without Wifi around.

just over a 180

You could have had a 3TB hard drive for that price... was it really worth it? Not doubting your decision but, imo, you could have made a better deal. Exemple : This+this = 79$ (86$ max). ~2x the space.

 

However, I'm pretty sure you have a reason for spending that much on that. Might be... gaming conditions (i.e. No extra power outlet available, etc)?

 

Anyway. I hope your memory stick lasts for the price you paid, otherwise it'll suck hard.

Just bought a simple 256gb memorystick. And it works judt brilliantly.

 

256GB memory stick?! Wait, what? You paid ~300$ for a memory stick? Really?!

It won't make things worse... Beside destroying data on disk, it reallocates suspicious sectors. I revived literally tens of hard disks reported as bad and they still work, after years from repairing. Some of them are in NAS systems, under a heavy use, and still work without error.

Anyway, it might be another problem... a problematic USB cable is another thing which appear very often; same as a problematic power source.

Yes, it's dangerous to use low-level format, especially on recent HDDs. Read this. A normal format should do the trick (zero-fill only) for the formatting process. If repairs are needed, Windows' chkdsk (with command "chkdsk c: /f /r") does the trick.

 

Even more reading: http://www.pcguide.c...tilities-c.html

 

But I believe that you are mixing up between zero-filling (standard long format) and hard drive and the actual "low-level" format.

External

You misunderstood; we know you have an external hard drive. What is the hard drive's electric source? The power outlet or the WiiU's USB port? If it's the WiiU's USB port, it is said that the WiiU's USB ports does not give enough electric power to sustain an hard drive. So, you have to plug it in the power outlet.

Try to reformat the disk on your pc/mac using a low level format utility; also check the surface of the disk - there are many programs for physical checking for bad sectors. Then connect it to the Wii U again and try once more.

No! For god's sake, no! A normal full format is well enough. Doing a low level format will make things worse, it'll reduce the lifetime of the hard drive. Formatting in NTFS then doing a chkdsk is perfectly fine and will help troubleshoot.

feld0 let the image hosting server go down on us without telling us.
If you see any images at all, it's from your cache.

Image server is down? WTH. Why the hell would you host your images elsewhere than the forum server?!

Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only images left are those from sig (not related to the site) and the badges for some reason.

I hope the fix is coming soon; that's kind of annoying to read the forum like this.

I'm not even sure if this text box is the box I write the post in; that gives you an idea. Since today, the website is showing in text only mode. All fonction are there but in basic HTML and javascript. There's no graphics, no fancy feature, no nothing. I tried clearing my cache. No go. Deleting cookies from the forum? Nope. Try in another browser? Same issue. Another computer? Nope, Chuck Testa. Disabling AdBlock Plus and Ghostery? Nope. It seems that the CSS is missing or something.

So to do a system transfer, would I still need my Wii?

Yes, you still need your Wii for this. I believe Nintendo gives some kind of instruction with the WiiU on how to do a system transfer. Also, you'll need an SD card (2GB or less - the Wii isn't compatible with higher capacities) to transfer some data between both consoles.

[my reply was really off - delete]

BS Overload. Seriously. Wii Party U has propelled the WiiU the week it was released in Japan. Once the big guns are out, everything will follow.

No modern OS uses more than 8GB of space. Don't expect it to change much on Nintendo's side.

Although Windows 7 (not sure about Win8) install DVD is single layer, once installed, weights about ~28 GB (64-bit)...

Got it too. I voted for online play although I don't play it very much. I voted for it because I know it will help Nintendo in the long run.

 

 

 

...I really want an online Mario Party. Seriously.

Sport games are a regional thing. Here in Canada, it's mostly hockey and american football. In the US, it's more american football and baseball. Japan is probably just baseball. South America and most of Europe is soccer/football. I can Russia liking hockey games too.

 

Also, everyone their favorite. If you like soccer/football, you'll play that. Etc.

 

On thread, Colinx pretty much summed it up. However, you forgot about Camelot. I think they pretty much are on Nintendo sports game when they need to be done. I'm thinking Mario Gold 3DS at the moment. When they don't have anything, I hope it'll happen someday because they have a small team, they work on the new Golden Sun. There's a 7-years gap between Lost Age and Dark Dawn. So... 2017 is pretty much when I'll start to believe in a long awaited sequel. Tbh, DD was a let down simply because of its various gameplay flaws (i.e. Points of no returns; even after-game).

 

I'm blaberring at this point.

the one and only F-ZERO! mor ethan any other i want that. but starfox needs a new game also

What he said.

That's what I would have said if nobody would have mentionned it.

 

I would also like another Paper Mario in the line of the original and The 1000-year Door.
