It's a little loud, but when I'm playing a game I do not notice any sound (I play my Wii U quite loud).
It's about the same as my Blu-Ray player (that thing is too loud).

Hmm, hard question, there are so many good ones (I own 24).
So here's five that are completely awesome in no particular order.
Super Mario 3D Land
New SUPER MARIO BROS. 2
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Metal Gear Solid 3D (I know it's a remake)
Kid Icarus Uprising or Castlevania (they're both as awesome as each other).

Pfft, my avatar's clearly the best. I painted it myself.

attack of the sayians, YES!!
It does not get the recognition it sorely deserves!
I forgot about Skies of Arcadia though, that game deserves all the praise it gets.

North Korea could attack South Korea at any time. I really hope something happens to end the whole fiasco and just let the Koreans live in peace.
If you couldn't tell, I feel very sorry for the North Korean people, it's ridiculous that there is still a country like that in 2013.

They will show the game, no one will be very excited. We've come to expect exactly what it'll look and play like, which is something you don't really want, other than it provides a nice safety net of quality; the games are quite fun.
It seems legit enough.
Although the box art is terrible.

I was always gonna get this game, but since the delay for porting, it has moved back to christmas for me. Shame really.
Just you wait until it gets delayed for a PS4 and 720 port, as well as the complimentary IOS and Android games. Maybe a Vita and 3DS version as well.

Does Fire Emblem count?
If so (in no particular order):
Any Fire Emblem game, they're all so good.
Dragon Quest IX, I also really like IV and V, but IX wins it for me.
Any Pokemon game, they're all so good.
Dragonball Z: Attack of the Saiyans (awesome game that not many people know about).
Secret of Mana.
If Fire Emblem doesn't count (again, in no particular order):
Dragon Quest IX.
Any Pokemon game.
Dragonball Z : Attack of the Saiyans.
Secret of Mana.
The Last Story.
I also very much like the DS remakes of Final Fantasy III, IV and Chrono Trigger. Never got into Mass Effect, reminded me too much of Star Wars Episode 1 (kidding). Oblivion and Morrowind are both great, Kingdoms of Amalur is good. Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi are also great series. But the 5 listed above take the crown.

To be honest, the only thing Nintendo need to do is spend a lot more in advertising. I'm guessing that at least 99% of the population in the UK doesn't know the Wii U exists, despite most of them probably owning Wiis. Just throw a few adverts out and consumers will come. They could put an advert for the Wii U during the ad breaks for Britain's Got Talent and many many people will then be aware of the console and start wandering into game shops to ask about it.
If 10% of the population of the UK knew about the Wii U, sales will generate by themselves and word of mouth.
More to the point. E3 won't win anybody not in the know about videogames over, they do not watch it. It could however win over people who do watch E3 and have been unsure about the Wii U.
Last point, Nintendo does have games to show at E3 (this point should be very clear to anybody paying attention), they have a new 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros to show at E3, indeed, they have already said they will show these games at E3. Those 3 games alone will generate huge amounts of hype and newfound buzz (and therefore sales) for the console.

Mii's look good, they always have. All they could do to make them better is add more colour options and more facial options generally. I'm sure a Mario hat or two won't go amiss either.

I think the main problem is that people do not want to spend £50 on a new game, it's too much.
Also, yeah, barely anywhere seems to actually stock Wii U games and such, perhaps it's just that GAME have the monopoly and can therefore charge whatever the hell they like.
We need to see the Wii U in supermarkets and the TV, otherwise average joe six-tooth will not really know it exists.

What it means for us is that they are cutting the crap. No one wants to hear statistics and such, we just wanna see the games. Nintendo is going to be there for the whole weekend, showing the new games it has to the public and seperately to the investors. It's better for us.
Also, we already know they are going to show 3 (potentially) amazing Wii U games in the new 3D Mario game made by the same team as Galaxy 1 & 2 and 3D Land, A new Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Which is kind of the game most people are dying to see.
Sorry, the internet decided to go very slow when posting.

Does this mean they'll have one game that people want?
Posted by Happy Monk on 24 April 2013 - 12:58 PM in General Gaming
It would be so funny if this turned out to be an IOS or Android port.

Even though I know I won't get the new XBOX (or PS4, Wii U only for me), it will be interesting to see what route they are taking.

It's just an update, you've been waiting this long, surely a few days won't hurt.

I always play with the 3D on. The games look better in 3D and I just seem to enjoy the games more when playing in 3D, even the ones where it's entirely pointless. I also never turn the brightness down. I don't get the point if you can just charge it when it runs out.
