Wii U is my favorite console, by far. Weird thread.

ill tell you what i find more irritating is the annoying people who have their mics on with crap rap music blasting full pelt through it only really applies to cod though.

Alot of whining going on here... I assume most people who complain about using a Wiimote to play Mario havent owned or played a NES then? I bet the next 3D Mario game will use the Pro controller. I understand the option should be there, i get that. But no big deal to me because I have Wiimotes and knew not to get rid of my wiimotes!!!!

So no one read up on Wii U before launch? No one knew that it was going to also use the Wiimotes? IF you did know this then why sell your wiimotes? Thats your fault and not Nintendos fault. Everytime i get on this board theres someone else crying about something stupid...

Ugh

I'm so tired of people on here complaining about the Wii U for the stupidest things. If you dont like it and/or think it is going to be a failure, please return/sell it so someone else can use it.
I don't think many people care that Mario doesnt use the Pro Controller. Like people have said, it is generally an option for 3rd parties to use.

Am I the only one who wants to see a skyrim complete edition on Wii U with all of the dlc and possibly hi-res textures? They could even add Link's hat, tunic, the Dylan shield, master sword, and hero's bow as exclusives.

Don't really care give it a few months and it will be you regreting the decision

I grew up with nintendo i remeber having to blow into the cartridges and all that jazz to get the games to work lol

Wow, I love BLOPS 2 but ZombiU is definetly a great game.  Not sure what the other guys are smoking

They have to include an option for a notification to pop up on screen, like for when someone logs in and more importantly telling you what someone sent you through the Miiverse without having to open Miiverse itself.

It will be fine. Nintendo isnt one to market certain things or make them know to the public. the fact that they revealed the Wii U would be using a GPGPU means they are proud of what they have. easily put the GPU will be the STAR of all the insides and tech of the Wii U. im predicting gpu with very modern 2011-2012 architecture. thats why final dev kits wasnt sent out until july of this year. just wait until next year games guys.... especially 1st party. they are gonna be SPECIAL.

oh boy....

Maybe turn down the bleeding tech less than a year old gpu knob a click or two.

Metroid prime 4 is going to blow minds. Even without an impossibly modern gpu.

Screw Fallout, I want Skyrim lol

I can't remember the last time I ever bought a console based on specs, especially a Nintendo one. Personally, I couldn't care less.

I have to disagree with a lot of people. I think online on the Wii U is far superior. It's all opinion though. Sony and Microsoft attack online from a universal stand point. I never cared for Xbox live and Sony took a pretty generic route. Nintendo do has come up with a system that feels catered to gamers. Just my 2 cents.

It means that IGN liked the game. Just because a game has some technical hicups doesn't mean it can't be 9.5 material.

example: Skyrim,  got a 9.5 but was the buggiest game in the history of gaming.

Every time I pick up my gamepad, I feel like I am holding a handheld or a tablet of some sort... then I remember that it's a controller... then I think to myself "why does it have two screens again?" This is one thing I can't find the answer to since most of the things it does could have just used a wii remote! Like miiverse, sure it's more efficient to type on something besides pointing at the TV... but that's not what I am focusing on. The one game that everyone expects will show what the Wii U is capable of, it's graphics, innovation-al game-play, etc. Is nintendo land. Now people may think I am going to say "oh it sucks 'cause it's a mini game collection!" But to be honest I had fun playing it. My only complaint is some of these games don't require the gamepad! Like that one metroid game... WHY?! I mean I know you can use the wii remote when you're on ground, but in air you need the gamepad... why make it so hard? In the one zelda game the second player uses the gamepad to shoot arrows, but why couldn't they just use wii remote and nunchuck? It's the same thing... but more realistic! And if you've played ANY wii game that has you holding something and swinging it around...you've played this... this game is a rehash of that one awesome sword game on wii sports resort! Minus the archery part! The pikmin game.... I thought it was fine playing pikmin 2 on wii with the wii remote, why change it? All I have to say... that f-zero game, you can see the map on the gamepad and it has motion controls... wii remote has motion controls... but I am not necessarily saying that all the games are bad, I am just saying like 2 or 3 of them have redundant gamepad use. Some of them you can just use a wii remote, but the gamepad stays on! Same thing with New super mario bros. U! Sometimes I like using the wii remote in that game! But why must the gamepad stay on? The only choice you have is putting it in sleep mode through the home menu. Oh and the Wii U freezes... happened to me twice in new super mario bros. U, but I am guessing this is a miiverse problem and nintendo will take care of it so I will leave it at that. And that is my (pointlessish rant) on Wii U...

I understand this is your opinion.....but...heres mine...the Gamepad so far is my favorite part of the system, and all my friends that have played it think so too. You can't play Zombi U without it and it really makes the game something fun and different. Being able to play 5 players in a lot of games is really fun - and the way they utilize it is great. Not sure what your complaint is on this. Not every game has to make use of the gamepad..nor would I want it to. The ones that do are really fun, even if it allows you to just swipe the game down from the TV to the gamepad..its a great feature which I've been using when other people want to play the 360 or something. As for the Nintendo Land games - Zelda and Metroid are my 2 favorites to use the Gamepad with - its more of a show off to what the Gamepad can be used for.  - I do wonder myself as to why the Gamepad always has to be on as it seems.
