#150042 Wii U Pro Controller disapointment, needs a fix!

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 11:56 AM in Wii U Hardware

I honestly have to agree with the motion controls part. I mean even in new super mario on wii you had to shake the controller just to do a jump with the propeller power up. I prefer to just be pushing buttons. Touch controls on a phone and motions controls on a console are two things I personally do not care for. Motion controls on some type of games like wii sports is one thing. But I don;t think it should be pushed on you in every game. The first time I played mario kart on 3ds I was so happy to know I could boost of a jump without having to fling my handheld up into the air lol.

The gamepad is an awesome advancement but I hope they don't push it too much to where it gets in the way. And I agree that while there are a good bit of games that support the pro controller it's kind of odd that a game as simple as mario would not support it. Sometimes I don;t want the big tablet in my hands and I really despise playing mario on a wii mote. It just has never felt comfortable. I think alot of what the op is on about is that he is concerned the controller will not be supported by nintendo really. Like I said, I love the gamepad but sometimes I want to be lazy and kick back with a small controller that is anything but a wii mote lol

Well this third party controller had one pretty good review so far..
You shouldn't prejudge a controller because its third party.


Agree, I have bought some crappy 3rd party controllers in the past but if they don't work out I take them right back to the store :)


#150872 Wii U Pro Controller disapointment, needs a fix!

Posted by 9646gt on 22 December 2012 - 06:39 PM in Wii U Hardware

They didn't get "too focused" with the new hardware, because the new hardware was the focus. And the reason why SMB doesn't support the Pro Controller is because they want the focus to be on, you guessed it, the new hardware.

I still can't get over the fact that you were complaining that Nintendoland didn't take advantage of the Pro Controller, and then when you were called on it, you made no further mention of it.

Nintendo made a new console with a new way of controlling it; the Wii U Gamepad. Gee, and I wonder why their first few games were Gamepad specific. Could it be that they want to show off what it can do? No, that can't be it. :wacko:


I agree on the Nintendo land statement. But nit the NSMBU statement. Impressed you are playing multiplayer the single really makes no user of there gamepad that would keep it from working g seamlessly with a pro controller


#150861 Wii U Pro Controller disapointment, needs a fix!

Posted by 9646gt on 22 December 2012 - 05:23 PM in Wii U Hardware

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 grew up on the nes as my first console. But I just don't care for using a sideways Wii remote to play Mario. I would much prefer there pro controller. The Wii remote never felt comfortable to me. I actually prefer the actual squared edge nes controller. Don't ask why but I just never feel comfortable with a Wii remote but we all have our opinions. I think we all are more upset that we know it can't take hardly any work to make a game compatible with the remote but decided no to. This makes us feel like it has just been provided to make third party devs happy and that Nintendo still doesn't care about what we want.


#151313 Wii U Launch More Successful Than Xbox 360 And PlayStation3

Posted by 9646gt on 24 December 2012 - 09:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

What are you talking about. The PS3 neither has a lack of games nor inferior technology.


^^^ This ^^^ PS3 got off to a slow start due to high demand and high price but didn't have enough units on the shelves. And PS3 started off just like every other console with mostly ports and few exclusives. HOWEVER PS3 has LOTS of great exclusives these days and ports on it are usually of good quality with some exceptions.


#150962 wii u cpu and gpu clock speed.

Posted by 9646gt on 22 December 2012 - 11:54 PM in Wii U Hardware

I agree. Its mostly old war horses, and up and coming gamers who still rely on numbers like many of my generation used to do in the 90's (I personally wan't self aware about these things til around mid 2000's or so 0_0 ) Still, I can't help but be excited about these super efficient architectures pumping out amazing visuals , you know. It reminds me of Initial D in a way; having an old 86' Corolla out race all those fast cars with drifting and all. Good times. ^_^

*realizes he bumped thread slightly*

sorry!, oh, and welcome OP to Wii U forums! Enjoy your stay here. :)

Edit: Sorry bout that Unchained Goku. My mistake.

I feel ya lol. we were raised on numbers back in the 486 and even 386 days lol. I love the initial d reference! The only anime I ever liked enough to but the entire series lol


#150859 wii u cpu and gpu clock speed.

Posted by 9646gt on 22 December 2012 - 05:14 PM in Wii U Hardware

For the live of God. Clock speed means almost NOTHING these days. A Intel i7 quad core at only 2.3 GHz will absolutely rape a previous generation CPU. you have to remember that it's all about architecture these days. The speed wars are a thing of the past. Chip maskers make processors so efficient these days that it does not take a high speed chip to be fast. Sorry to hurt any feelings but I am so sick of seeing this stuff every time I check forums


#146909 Volume in Black Ops 2?

Posted by 9646gt on 12 December 2012 - 03:22 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I do not know how it will work as far as voice chat but if your tv is like mine it has optical audio out you may be able to plug your headset into that. My turtle beach headset uses optical audio but haven't tested with my wii u since I can't get it till Christmas lol


#149529 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 03:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

Your setup sends a little complicated lol. There should be no need to send audio to the tv since you can use the jack for headphones on the rreceive. I. You run audio from tv to headset the tv will not create virtual surround sound effects like the receiver can if setup properly.I know that the audio if hooked up the way I plan will automatically come from the headset like I plan. And I can get an adapter to plug the mic cable of e headset into the game pad. But the main thing is, I'd you have anything plugged into the Mic port on the game pad can you still get audio over the hdmi from yhe receiver or does all audio automatically get directed to the gamepad headphone plug with no option to change it?


#149888 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 02:08 AM in Wii U Hardware

Like I responded to you in one of the other threads I don't think that's going to work.


According to Dolby's website since the turtle beach DSS supports pro logic llx and Dolby headphone if toy Holm the box up to the game pad and plug the head phones into that box it will use r the DSP to convert it to simulated 5.1 and pass it off to the Dolby headphone DSP which will play the simulated surround to the headphones.it may not be the best but its hard to say that it won't work when that is exactly what the technology is designed to do.

However I think you ate correct as far as the microphone goes. I don't think there will be any way to use a mic with a dedicated cable since pluging in the headset would seem to disable audio going to the TV. unless Nintendo actually adds USB microphone support.


#149504 USB voice chat? Game pad Jack size?

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 12:43 AM in Wii U Hardware

Does wii u support USB voice chat from something like a turtle beach headset? What size is the head phone Jack on the GamePad? I'm asking because my turtle beach has USB for the mic or it had a jack that fits the Xbox 360 controller which I think is smaller than the wii u game pad which is what 3.5mm?

Also if I have the mic from my headset plugged into the game pad with an adapter will the wii u stop playing audio over hdmi? I basically want to plug in the dedicated mic from my surround sound into the wii u and be able to get the game audio from my receiver the headset is plugged into. Just like it works with my 360


#149167 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:03 AM in Wii U Games and Software

You can only use the GamePad to control a character in single player mode. When you try to use the GamePad in multiplayer, it automatically goes to boost mode.


Finally plain English lol thank you. Good thing I have two wii remotes!


#148838 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by 9646gt on 17 December 2012 - 06:59 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Sadly no. Multiolayer can only be done with every player using wiimotes

Sorry but that statement is confusing. Do you mean if you start the game with ONLY two wii remotes that both players can s be on screen at once? I how does one do this


#150048 This is the silliest response from a developer/producer yet

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 12:07 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Why does EVERYTHING have to centered around the gamepad? I am guessing Nintendo requires the developer support minimum gamepad functions at least? Why not release the game with just pro controller support if it's that big of a deal and Nintendo isn;t enforcing any restrictions? Just put a warning that it requires a pro controller. I mean, I have all 3 current consoles, but some more hardcore Nintendo guys may only have the wii u and will miss the chance to play.


#152583 Super Mario Sunshine 2-Wii U

Posted by 9646gt on 27 December 2012 - 11:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Please no more sunshine Lol. I was not a fan. Would much rather see something like Mario 3d land with stereoscopic 3dtv support or a new Mario 64 or galaxy style game!


#149920 special startup on warawara plaz

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 05:04 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Lol reminds me of booting up gran turismo 5 on Christmas day for the first time.was playing Christmas music haha


#149170 Sonic Racing transformed...ahh brings me back to the 90s... :' )

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:13 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Picked this up this weekend and can't wait till I get my wii u on Christmas to play!


#145775 So it's odd seeing this many systems jsut sitting on shelves.

Posted by 9646gt on 09 December 2012 - 01:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

So when I bought my Wii U the day before Thanksgiving my local walmart had 3 deluxe systems. Went back on black Friday to pick up some 360 and ps3 games on sale and the two systems that were left after I bought mine were still sitting there. Then tonight at the same walmart there were about 8-10 consoles mostly basics just sitting in the case. I couldn't find a wii or 360 to save my life at launch. I don't think this issues is the systems fault, I think it's marketing. I think to many people assume it's a add on for the wii or something. I was playing my ps vita at work one night and someone asked if it was the new Wii U?!? Seriously?!?!


#148836 So it's odd seeing this many systems jsut sitting on shelves.

Posted by 9646gt on 17 December 2012 - 06:56 AM in Wii U Hardware

Some interesting replies. Every store I visited this weekend in a decent size city all had multiple wii u consoles in both versions sitting on the shelf. Even game stop had a decent amount but the guy there said it had been selling really well and that Nintendo just seems to be keeping a better stock than in the past. Did any sales numbers ever get announced for the Us minus the Nintendo statement? All I know is I will have mine in a week and I can't wait!


#146173 So it's odd seeing this many systems jsut sitting on shelves.

Posted by 9646gt on 10 December 2012 - 12:21 AM in Wii U Hardware

Some very good opinions here. I there are plenty of tv ads here in the USA. But they focus so much on the game pad that is hard to see what a huge leap this console is from the wii. The 3ds got the same type of feedback from people I work with add the wii u is getting from them. The ps3 and 360 owners when they saw me playing 3ds just thought it was a d's with 3d and still thought you needed glasses. Nobody even knew that the graphics are such a drastic difference that it was almost like a hand held wii. But Yeh I think it will pick up soon. It's just odd that this is the first console launch in recent memory to have systems just sitting on the shelf this early in.. But then again the 3ds had been this way since launch and it doing really well for a handheld. I but this is a console and I guess only time will tell.


#152990 So for the final time I have to ask, should I get rid of my PS Vita?

Posted by 9646gt on 28 December 2012 - 08:22 AM in General Gaming

Just put my vita on eBay. I constantly sell the 3ds for a vita then go back. Have done this 3 times. This time I am sticking with 3ds. It is selling waaaay better and I generally enjoy its games much much more.


#149506 REPORT - Thieves Steal $2M Worth of Wii U Consoles

Posted by 9646gt on 19 December 2012 - 12:33 AM in Wii U Hardware

Why did they refer to them as a portable wii console? Lol that article is all over the place


#149168 Rayman Legends confirmed to run at 1080p 60fps.

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:07 AM in Wii U Games and Software

My Macbook has a 2880x1800 screen and games look amazing on that but alot of them won't run that high of a resolution with the video card it has. Rayman will and is so amazing it is like looking at a painting. 1080p looks terrible on it due to it being 16:9 on a 16:10 display. But it's a great preview of what we have to look forward to when 4k tvs become affordable.


#149886 NINTENDO TV COMING TOMORROW!

Posted by 9646gt on 20 December 2012 - 02:01 AM in Wii U Hardware

Lol I didn't know people still used TiVo. I honestly hope it supports DirecTV s that is really all I use. To me paying for Netflix is like paying for the stars or encore channels where all they play are old movies all the time lol


#149166 Nintendo should release wii u enhanced wii games.

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 05:00 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm sure Nintendo won't be able to resist doing remakes. But honestly I would rather be playing fresh new games than a bunch of previous generation games.


#149244 Nintendo should release wii u enhanced wii games.

Posted by 9646gt on 18 December 2012 - 09:32 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I guess I just don't understand the hole wanting remakes thing. I LOVED Mario 3 back when it came out. And still play it every once and a while. But would I choose a Mario 3 remake over a brand new 3d Mario adventure? No way! Ocarina on 3ds was good yes, but wouldn;t you rather have already had a NEW Zelda game on 3ds?
