#166245 Parental Controls - YouTube BUSTED!

Posted by rschauby on 03 February 2013 - 07:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I've had this issue for a while, and the rest of the internet doesn't seem to be "talking" about it.

In Parental controls, if the Wii U eShop is set to "locked", then the YouTube app will be blocked from use. It sure would be nice allow Youtube while blocking eShop access for his account.

Anyone else notice this?



#108542 Sniper Elite V2 on Wii U?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 09:02 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Sniper Elite V2 is a very good game.

This seems too specific to be a mistake.



#171885 Question Concerning the Wii U

Posted by rschauby on 15 February 2013 - 06:26 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I would definitely hold out another few weeks and get one of the new Deluxe Bundles. For an extra $30 you get an extra game and the Wii U Pro Controller. They're essentially tossing in $110 of extra stuff for only $30 more.



#108555 A couple questions about wii u

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 09:33 AM in Wii U Hardware

Really, a price drop won't occur until PS4 and Xbox720 are announced/released. If Sony and MS price their machines at $400-$500+, I wouldn't count on much a price drop anytime soon. Maybe Nintendo will redo the bundles and include a game with the Basic and toss another bonus in with the Deluxe, but that is about all I would count on for 2013.



#108606 Classic Controller Pro and pre-MotionPlus Wiimote compatibility

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 10:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

Personally, I think they will be "compatible", but I think Nintendo is trying to let us know that going forward all future Wii U titles will only support Wii Mote + and the Pro Controller. I'm pretty sure you can use your old Wii Motes and Classic Controllers for VC titles and old Wii games.



#112385 Deluxe Digital Promotion

Posted by rschauby on 24 September 2012 - 12:50 PM in Wii U Hardware

My only question: will NSMBU and other first party titles be available on the eShop day one?



#108563 pad screen resolution?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 09:47 AM in Wii U Hardware

A quick Google search reveals current calculations of 158 ppi (pixels per inch). While not "retina" level, this is pretty good as long as you don't hold it 3 inches away from your face.



#112465 No Wii U price cut for years

Posted by rschauby on 24 September 2012 - 04:43 PM in Wii U Hardware

I don't think "Planned" price cuts are part of a normal strategy. Of course it makes sense a few years later after a new "slim" and cheaper version can be made available, but I think all hardware companies aim to price things right at launch.



#109267 Wii U eShop Digital Downloads - First Party Available Day One

Posted by rschauby on 17 September 2012 - 04:30 PM in Wii U Games and Software

If we get the Deluxe version, supposedly it comes with some membership which gives you 10% savings on the e-shop. This might help offset the inability to resell.



#108834 Wii U eShop Digital Downloads - First Party Available Day One

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 06:03 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I know it removes the chance of reselling, but having an 8 year old son using the system I very much like to avoid him handling discs as much as possible.



#108974 Wii U eShop Digital Downloads - First Party Available Day One

Posted by rschauby on 17 September 2012 - 06:44 AM in Wii U Games and Software

i would never download a game when i can get the disc. Its the same with CD/Vinyl, i just like having something i can physically own. I dont really see he advantages of download over disc.


I have an 8 year old son and a wife. Kids and spouses scratch/lose/break things. Losing the benefit of reselling a game for $5 is worth the trade off in security. Not to mention the benefits of less wear on the machine by not having to spin & exchange discs.



#108701 Wii U eShop Digital Downloads - First Party Available Day One

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 01:31 PM in Wii U Games and Software

http://mynintendonew...on-release-day/

Can someone please confirm that First Party Nintendo Games (i.e. NintendoLand, Mario U) will be on the Wii U eShop on launch day? If this is the case, then those who do not need a disc need not worry about pre-ordering from a retailer.



#114373 GOTY versions of games being ported to Wii U?

Posted by rschauby on 02 October 2012 - 08:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

How about we fill our wish lists with new next-gen games instead of games we already own.



#153709 Several problems with new wiiu :(

Posted by rschauby on 29 December 2012 - 06:53 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

If you haven't downloaded any eShop games I would try for an exchange at your retailer. If you have eShop games don't do anything but call Nintendo.

#108704 WiiU presale sellout smells fishy...

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 01:40 PM in Wii U Hardware

And they didn't even sell any on Amazon.

I wonder if Nintendo has a million reserved for Amazon just in case...



#127152 Idea: GamePad Plus

Posted by rschauby on 10 November 2012 - 10:20 AM in Wii U Hardware

Even though you can't use the Gamepad without the Base nearby, the Base is still pretty "portable".

There is nothing keeping you from dragging both the Base + Gamepad over to a friends. I am betting you'll even be able to run the system in a car with a good inverter. I plan on dragging mine on a few vacations and on a few trips. The fact that this system doesn't even need a TV and remains pretty functional is a very unique and powerful feature.



#113131 wii u on ebay selling for extreme amount of money

Posted by rschauby on 27 September 2012 - 07:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

Listed! = sold

You could list one at $1 million. Doesn't mean that is what they're selling for.



#112466 Toys R Us selling Wii U for 419.99

Posted by rschauby on 24 September 2012 - 04:45 PM in Wii U Hardware

I don't see the problem with selling a $300 MSRP System with two(2) $60 MSRP games for $420, but that's just me...



#108551 You want to preorder deluxe?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 09:29 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't "trust" pre-orders as guaranteeing me a release day system. Also, the cynic in me is assuming both will not go through.



#108559 Two gamepad support... what dont we know?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 09:37 AM in Wii U Hardware

I really really hope Nintendo and Developers don't move towards supporting 2 Gamepads. I know the Gamepad is awesome, but it is super expensive. Also as mentioned, it will consume more resources to run. I'm hoping Nintendo and developers can find a way to keep games and multiplayer centered around only having 1 Gamepad per system. Having to buy $40 Wii Motes and $50 Pro controllers is enough...



#108482 You want to preorder deluxe?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 07:15 AM in Wii U Hardware

I went in Friday afternoon to GameStop and was a little upset to hear that Deluxe models pre-orders were gone. After reading the news, I went back Saturday morning and just pre-ordered the Standard. I traded in my Wii + Games for $100, but I only put the minimum $25 towards the pre-order. I ordered all my launch games on Amazon (Zombi U, Mario U), and ordered my Pro controller from Newegg. I also secured a Deluxe pre-order from ToysRUs. If that one comes through from TRU, I will just cancel or sell the Standard one from GameStop.

If Newegg or Amazon open up pre-orders, I will cancel all my above plans and just order everything from them.



#109728 Should I sell my PS3 for a Wii U?

Posted by rschauby on 18 September 2012 - 04:01 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm going to hang onto my slim PS3. It's still one of the best Blu-Ray players you can buy, and it's the only Blu-Ray player I own, so replacing it will cost me money. Also, Sony does have a few exclusives I already own and want to play in the future. I own a Roku, and a Vizio Co-Star (Google TV), and it is far and away the best Media streaming device I own.

It's just not worth $300 for what I would have to give up.



#108478 Is Battlefield 3 still possible?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 07:09 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Honestly, I don't see many games being ported over to Wii U that have already been released. The only exception I know of so far is Mass Effect 3.

Wii U will be in much better shape if Nintendo concentrates on getting the upcoming AAA multi-plat titles. Going after last year's titles isn't going to help the system.



#108467 Is Battlefield 3 still possible?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 06:58 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Given that EA already has their next Medal of Honor game releasing soon and also have announced Battlefield 4, I feel that the Wii has a better chance at these 2 titles.
