#112296 What is your most anticipated download title?

Posted by rschauby on 24 September 2012 - 07:18 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I plan on downloading NSMBU from the eShop on day 1. So it better be there!

#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.

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

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.

#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.

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.

#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...

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.

#108609 Is Battlefield 3 still possible?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 10:45 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I love Battlefield 3, it looks great, its very fun, and tactical. And I play on Xbox 360.

And this is exactly why they won't waste time on porting BF3. 99% of people that want it, already have it. The chances of them selling 2nd copies to new Wii U owners is VERY small and not worth the $$$ they would have to put into developing it.

#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.

#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.

#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...

#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.

#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.

#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.

#108538 What games did U pre-order?

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 08:55 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Already ordered:

Mario Brothers U
Zombi U

Considering Black Ops 2 if Amazon can put it in their system.

#108534 CoD BLops 2

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 08:46 AM in Wii U Games and Software

That looks really cool. I think it's awesome how the Gamepad can be used as a stand alone.

#108489 Pro controller question

Posted by rschauby on 16 September 2012 - 07:20 AM in Wii U Hardware

I honestly very much dislike the Wii Mote. I really hope it is abandoned on the U. I am so tired of pointing a wand at the TV screen. I am hopeful that most developers will design mainly for the Pro and the Gamepad. I will probably base all my game purchasing decisions based on this; I just hope all Nintendo IP games stick with Gamepad design direction.

#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.

#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.
