def use the wii bit on the U for retro gaming, get a cheap classic controller download the games from the store and you're good to go (just bought super mario world still great today!)

People! I don't have online. Plus my Wii is being viewed by nintendo right now. If you remember, I don't even have a wii u! So this is my only hope & plus it look cheap but the colors are bright and vibert.

Oh, in that case go for it, it does look like a good lil system, as long as it all works ok could be fun.

I prefer physical copies. I guess Im a hoarder.

Im like that too, digital is ok, but nothing beats having the physical mag in your hands and flicking through the pages. also it just feels wrong reading an ipad on the crapper! Im will confess to being a bit of a hoarder when it comes to mags too, got every issue of gamesmaster magazine so far (issues 1 to 260!) and GamesTM mag (issues 1 to130!) dont really need to keep them, but i do lol!

ahh Gamefan was awesome! couldn't get it that often over here, but the ones i did get were great. similar story with EGM too, pity i got rid of them ages ago, i now have to trawl the 'net to find those if i wanna do a spot of nostalgic reading (found a couple of good sites that host downloadable free copies of tons of retro mags (all legal too i think? well i hopethey are anyway ) not the same as phisical but the quickest way to do some retro reading!

Bought Risen on the 360 for 3 quid, even though it sucked I thought for that price I'd give it a go. Also got 2 games and a controller for the price of a stamp back when Microsoft dropped the price of the original Xbox, they offered peeps who had bought one full price b4 the drop their choice of 2 games and a controller to make up for it, was worth about 150 quid ish I think? That counts...technically lol!

Dammit! Now that tunes stuck in my head...."duck tales woohoo..dumdum..DeeDee..doodoo..DeeDee..duck tales"...dangit!

Just got 1000 points for 4000 stars, (got 850 stars left but stupid "buy 1 lot of points a day" rule means i'll have to "buy" 200 more points over the next 2 days!). But now im not sure which game/games to get? too many choices!

Thought this could be a good place to put any unlock codes found for this cracking game.

Samurai Warrior: rjyzhc
Baseball Player: ycmwkp
VEHICLE: Relocator: vzhhdm
Vehicle: Drakonas : dwjvct
Werewolf:gystqp
mhhrhm: Race car driver
xkgzvj: Gorilla suit guy
hvgtpg: Natalia Kowalski
syfmwj unlocks soccer player.

Just use the compuper in the police station to enter codes then go to the basement disguise desk thingy to equip them.

These 2 codes can be used on the compuper Outside the police station by the front garages.

Justice and Red Sports Car:
3GCC7XR
Unlocks High Speed Chase Missions & Vehicles:
N7NN4F9

If anyone else finds any maybe add to this thread?

some of the above codes dont work as i get a error 

Which ones? They all worked for me?

New code added. (Football/soccer player.)

SCHWEET!! got mine just now, who says you cant get something for nothing?

The Zelda game on the SNES, I forget its name, also KOTOR 1 & 2 on the Xbox multiple times as both male & female good & bad characters. Since then? None. I either get stuck or get bored or both.

What is this "black friday" of which you speak? i heard it mentioned on Guys with Kids earlier and being in the u.k. i have no idea what it is? or am i the only one?

Thank you kindly for the link.

Earlier today i thought i sensed a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced, now I know what it was!

Also...
Disney. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy....other than EA.....

Ive been off work since 21st and although i keep thinking about having a go, so far i've not used my wiiu once over chrimbo, am i the only one? i've not used my 360 either, i keep finding other things to do instead, although im excited about the next gen, i hope im not losing interest in gaming?

Glad to see its not just me then, did originally plan to do loads of gaming during my 12 days off, (must do more Skyrim, and zombiU plus got 2 or 3 games i've downloaded on XBL to start as well!) but so far i've done NONE! maybe i'll try 2morrow? used to have so much time for games *sound of violins playing* but nowadays the time seems to flash by so quickly i cant fit it all in (thats what she said! - the voice in my head),. Thats it im gonna do some gaming 2morrow! I HAVE SPOKEN, SO IT SHALL BE!!!

Can't wait to see how the wiiu version compares to the others. Maybe at last we'll get to see what this bad boy can do!

So looking forward to this game, and can't wait to see what the wiiu version is like!

Sounds really goodish

I realise i haven't made the article sound all that positive, lol, but after reading it, my overall feeling was that it WAS positive and that any worries they brought up were only ones we've all probably had too. am in the process of getting the article uploaded so y'all can read it for yourselves.

I just received my xmas 2012 issue of Gamesmaster magazine, which contains a wiiu launch special, with reviews of the console & gamepad and previews of alll the launch / launch window titles, ( I would have scanned the pages for you guys, but dont have a scanner lol, so will type an overview for you), overall they seem pretty positive about the U and its controller ( the gamepad holds endless possibilities and at only " a gentle 500g in weIght - about half a guinea pig - DON'T ASK, enables 10 hour gaming marathons without your wrists falling off") and the games. they do voice concerns that once sony and microsoft launch thier new consoles the U might get left behind a bit,

"As for the threat of a brutish new playstation or xbox steamrolling Wii U into the ground? well, yes, that could happen. On the tech front, its 98% guaranteed that rival boxes will humiliate the wiiU. Our question is, does it matter? Wii U will likely occupy the same position the wii held this gen: not as shiny, but a safe haven for devs lacking the AAA budgets needed to step up to a power hungry next gen."

They also voice concern over AAA suport, suggesting that "studios with the cash to embrace the new machines from sony microsoft - the ubisofts,EAs, and Rockstars of the world, may have no need of the U, much like they largely had no need for the wii". although they do state that the U's "rich launch catalogue shows the healing has begun, but all it would take is a shiny new ps4 or 720 to unpick the scabs, hey, at least we can dab on some first party savlon".

They jokingly claim that 16 months after its initial reveal, the U is still a nightmare to write about, largely because it doesnt behave like any other console (which they do say is a good thing), and that "the more we learn, the madder it seems: a console that doesnt need a tv to work, a social network to rival twitter, a universal remote for your telly...someone at nintendo has been overdoing the dairylea before bedtime"

they end the console review thing by saying despite all of that if you put a U under your tv on the 30th you'll find it a dream to play.

Games reviews / previews are positive overall, (Nintendo Land gets 82%, with each of the mini games in it recieving between 3 and 5 out of 5 stars, NSMBU gets 82%, they also rate the intergration of the gamepad into the multi format titles, and out of the 12 listed
there are :
3x 5out of 5,(Batman, Darksiders 2 andTrine 2)
2x 4 out of 5, (AC3 and Mass Effect 3)
3x 3 out of 5, (FIFA 13 Sonic all star racing, COD; BOPS2 )
3x 2 out of 5, (Skylanders, Ninja Gaiden 3 Epic mickey 2)
and a 1 out of 5 (NBA 2K13)

ZombieU (my preciousssss lol) gets a 4 out of 5 on thier "Thrill-o-meter" with the only negative being that "the touch screen isnt as reliable as it could be. Is this endemic of its general quality?"
Aliens colonial marines also gets a 4 out of 5 on the Thrill-o-meter, the negative being "the guns are a tad quiet. we want them so loud it almost bursts our eardrums".
They have a few concerns over Lego City Undercover (another game im looking forward to and 3 out of 5 on the thrill-o-meter) saying that at the moment driving in the game is a tad tame "TT has recreated Lego's weightless plastic vehicles a little too accurately, the poor little things pootle along slowly, with all the handling of a sports car engineered from plastic rectangles. Accurate,maybe, but not terribly exciting". also at the moment they say there is some horrible pop-in throughout the game).they admit Its still early and there is time to iron out those niggles and if TT do then the game could be huge.

If you're in the u.k. then pick up the xmas issue when it hits the stores on the 6th, its woth a read. im posting this for u.s. and other forumites who maybe cant get the mag where they..erm..be at?



.JUST REALISED THIS MIGHT BE BETTER IN THE GENERAL OR NEWS SECTION? IF A MOD WANTS TO MOVE IT, PLEASE DO SO.

Got a wiiu and preordered a ps4. Was going to stick with Microsoft and get an X1, but they screwed up with their DRM announcements etc originally so chose ps4, even thier recent 180 regarding DRM etc wont change my mind now. Also there were more games that I liked the look of on ps4 than the X1.

My nephew is coming over on wednesday, naturally i want to show off the wiiU and he'll undoubtably want to play ZombiU, and i think he'll need to play from the beginning to get the full experience, so if i let him start a new game from scratch, will it delete or overwrite MY game save? or can u have more than one game saved at a time?  Ive already died about 6 times and have only got upto being sent to buck house, and i don't want to have to start again myself from scratch!

I was going to do that, but in the end my nephew AND my niece (17 & 13) just watched me playing, i tell ya, this game is a blast when you got other people watching you who have never seen this game b4 lol, we had the lights off, curtains drawn, nice n dark with the sound going through my surround set up, and they were jumping & screaming at the tv when i was being attacked by the zombies in buck palace,(AAAAHH! RUNRUN!! ITS COMING! KILL IT! KILL IT! ITS KILLING YOU! AAAH NO THERES ANOTHER ONE!!) and really getting nervous and creeped out when i wasn't (aaah what was that noise? check your radar!  etc etc)  and afterwards both agreed the game is creepy scary as hell, and they both wanted it and a wiiu, you're welcome nintendo and Ubisoft. didnt even get to try the muliplayer part lol.
