Hey everyone!
My name is Auzzie Wingman.
As with many of you, I like to play video games. I also do enjoy my time spent around various forums. I have access to a Wii U, a PSVita, a PS3 and a PS4, and of course a PC. I wouldn't say I'm a PC Gamer though, minus the odd game of League of Legends or Runescape.
I am a pretty likeable guy, although I shouldn't be saying that for myself. Generally speaking, I'm all about making sure quality and friendliness is maintained here on the Wii U Forum. I literally act like a Wingman, not just in name. I don't fly planes though, not outside of games.
A long time ago, we had a Guide system on this forum, where certain individuals were tasked with making a user's transition into the forum a good one. It was a little premature for it's time, and so they've long since been disbanded. I still wish to carry out this role, so if you feel you are being treated unfairly, come talk to me however you like and I'll help you, I promise.

--- The Wii U Forum ---
There are a few things on the Wii U Forums you should keep in mind. First, the Rules are something you need to adhere to at all times if possible. They are more or less the general rules spread throughout most forums, so if you are familiar with IP.Boards then you shouldn't have to worry about. Otherwise just keep to a moderate, well meaning nature and you should be alright.

Better not be. Metroid is not going to save the Wii U, Retro should put all the mind and creativity into something awesome.

Everyone agrees that no gaming company in the world that creates and innovates like Nintendo
actually everyone doesn't agree with that at all...

Pic of the day. Once again, Waluigi's Assist Trophy joins the collection!! …Which also means he's not a playable character. Just because you try hard doesn't mean you'll make it into the battle.
Are you 100% sure about that?
Pic of the day. When Waluigi joins the battle, Alfonzo is in charge of the assist trophy. Alfonzo: "Leave it to me!"

What's the point of this thread? Is it to trash the ps4? Or to try to make a point that the wiiu tried to do something different? Seriously what is it?
I think this:

Whats innovative about the Wii U?
Sticking a touchscreen in the controller is no more/less innovative than a touchpad on the controller. Heck, the Wii U is lacking one of the most useful things on modern consoles - the analog triggers. I also find it the least ergonomic controller in a long while ESPECIALLY from Nintendo. Both the N64 and Gamecube controllers felt comfortable in your hands, the Wii U Gamepad does not.
Its more about evolution. The PS4 is an improvement on PS3 (hugely on the controller, its actually comfortable which no dualshock has ever been for me), the Xbox One is (or will be, once they put the functionality back in the OS) an evolution of the Xbox 360 + Kinect, they are just refinements over what went before.
If anything, the PS4 is the biggest improvement because I hated its old controller so much and it inherited the speaker in the controller that really enhanced surround sound.
For the record, I do find the touchscreen on Wii U useful especially for inventory management. But when playing games like LEGO City Undercover, I never once felt that "this game plays better BECAUSE of the touchscreen". It would have been just as much fun without the gimmicky bits. Same when playing LEGO Marvel on PS4, the only time the touchscreen would have been useful is the map and the ONLY reason that was an issue is because the game was poorly optimised so took a few seconds to display the map screen. Had it been better optimised so the map appeared instantly, it would have been no better as if you have to take your eyes off the TV you might as well just display it on the TV in the first place.
No, because of the huge increase in RAM mainly.
I'm glad someone got to say this before I did. While, don't get me wrong I love my Wii U, the tablet controller was one of the biggest mistakes Nintendo could have ever made this generation. While, in theory, there are a lot of cool uses for it, no one, including Nintendo (see DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario 3d World, Lego City, New Super Mario Bros, Pikmin 3, Smash Bros, Wonderful 101, or Bayonetta 2) have really done anything with it. It's a gimmick that like it or not, probably won't be returning next time around. While yes, ZombiU was cool until Last of Us did the pretty much the same thing with only one screen, and while yes, Nintendo Land was cool while it lasted, I just don't see the innovation that a lot of people see in the Gamepad.

What i mean is all the features on ps4 are available on ps3 or its easy to create on ps3
No they are not, because of the huge increase in RAM mainly. Also the fact it can access the HDD quicker than PS3.
Streaming to twitch.tv/Remote Play/Saving your last 15 minutes of gameplay. This is all done due to hardware encoding, the PS3 didn't have that which is why only a few games worked with remote play as those games had to specifically use LESS CPU power for the game and be optimised to work with the software video streaming tech. Also to be able to remote play from power off you effectively had to leave the PS3 powered on, the PS4 uses ten times less electricity in standby than the PS3 did in remote play off mode. Likewise the PS4 will be able to suspend your current game in RAM and go into standby in the future, so you can instantly resume playing.
Then there is just general OS improvements. Being able to go into the Playstation Store without quitting your active game, how quickly you can go look at your trophies without quitting the game (PS3 is very slow as it has a tiny amount of RAM for system tasks), how background downloading works. Its just a more pleasant OS to use and that is because of the improvements in the hardware.
These are the sorts of improvements I expected Wii U to have over Wii and sadly it does not. Its still slow and clunky going into different sections of the OS.

And that's what's so great about it! No stupid features you don't need. Just gaming, gaming, and MORE gaming!

Lego City Undercover.
Enjoying it. Could never get into Lego games but liking this one so far and Marvel seemed cool as well. It only took 25 years but in some fashion I'm playing with Lego's again and now it's not a giant black garbage bag full just a Wii U disc
^ That was a couple weeks ago

Hopefully this turns out better than Agents of SHIELD. That was a huge disappointment.
Have you watched Arrow(Green Arrow) on CW? It's much better than Agents of SHIELD.
