That's a DS, not a 3DS.

Indeed. Somebody, quickly find a 3DS one! I can't because I'm too... Important.

#211329 Wii U Wishlist

Posted by Happy Monk on 26 May 2013 - 01:17 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Star Fox, a true sequel to Lylat Wars.

A new Kirby game, don't care what it's like, Kirby can get away with anything.

F-Zero.

A true sequel to Dragonball Z Budokai Tenka'ichi 3 would be stellar.

Everything else is optional.

#243429 Wii U Summer/Fall Update

Posted by Happy Monk on 01 September 2013 - 08:43 AM in Wii U Hardware

The OS will be faster (don't know how much by) and Nintendo TVii for Europe maybe?




#211324 Is the wii u THAT underpowered?

Posted by Happy Monk on 26 May 2013 - 12:32 AM in Wii U Hardware

On the last two pictures, are you sure it's not just that the first of the two is from a CGI trailer, and the second is in-game? as the camera doesn't really need to get close to the characters, the models do not need to be incredibly detailed. Knack looks good and oddly ugly at the same time, as in most of the screentshots look good, but one looks ugly.

Here's the key difference: Wonderful 101 is absolutely brimming with character, Knack is not. As for graphics, Knack probably looks more impressive, but Wonderful 101 looks nicer and has a much more fun and preferable art style.




#211766 Is the wii u THAT underpowered?

Posted by Happy Monk on 27 May 2013 - 10:05 AM in Wii U Hardware

Let's just stop talking until after June 11th. But make no mistake ALL of the excuses are out the door then. If we see graphics that are on par with the best of this gen then IMO its on the same level as ps360 and lots of people were right. If itshows graphics that melt our eyes and are clearly above ps360 then Nintendo look like geniuses again and we might have gamecube part 2 on our hands. I'm at a toss up I don't know what this console can do graphically or how powerful it truly is.. But make no mistake I'm holding people like 3dude accountable.

You will not see Wii U games that look mind-blowingly impressive next to 360 and PS3 games, just like you will not see Xbox One or PS4 games to the same effect. The Wii U is more powerful than the 360 and PS3, but less powerful than their successors.

 

Not linked to your quote (just the first paragraph is). Finger pointing to launch games that underperform compared to their PS/360 counterparts is not going to make you look or sound clever, quite the opposite. It should be simple enough. Launch games never account for the console's power, how many times do people need to refer to 360 launch games compared to 360 games now. Take a game like Assassin's Creed 3 for example. it has been shown that the Wii U version runs at a slightly more erratic framerate but pretty much looks identical to the other two versions. This is a game that would've been ported from different architecture in around six months, which is very fast for game development, for the game to look visually on par and run slightly under par (see-very slightly) is very impressive. It was Iwata who said Assassin's Creed 3 is only utilising around 50% of the Wii U's hardware. I think that says it all doesn't it?




#211769 Is the wii u THAT underpowered?

Posted by Happy Monk on 27 May 2013 - 10:14 AM in Wii U Hardware

Like many have said before:

Wii U: PS2

Xbox One: Gamecube

PS4: Xbox

 

The Wii U will look similar enough, but the differences will be obvious. The Wii U should be able to keep up to some extent, just in lower resolution or less impressive textures etc...

 

The sales should be like that also!

 

In answer to MorbidGod, that's why I said very slightly under par (digital foundry's video showed a slightly lower framerate, but it is barely noticeable).




#220259 Why didnt Nintendo just make wii u more powerful?

Posted by Happy Monk on 12 June 2013 - 08:42 AM in Wii U Hardware

Um, did you actually do some research before making that statement?

The Wii has sold more worldwide, but hasn't the 360 outsold the Wii in the UK? or is it just close?




#202891 Activision says Wii U is next gen

Posted by Happy Monk on 02 May 2013 - 09:04 AM in Wii U Hardware

Well, it's good to see a developer link it with the next xbox and ps4 for once.




#261874 Nintendo Direct 12/18 for Spring 2014 Wii U , 3DS

Posted by Happy Monk on 17 December 2013 - 09:37 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'd just love to see some more of Mario Kart 8.




#272228 Nintendo Direct Discussion Thread

Posted by Happy Monk on 13 February 2014 - 03:50 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Europe never got any of these indie titles in the direct it was all 3DS basically.

 

Also this is a WII U forum. We don't all have 3DS.

We got plenty on Wii U: Smash Bros (so much hype), new X info, Bayonetta 2, awesome Donkey Kong trailer, even better mario kart 8 trailer, NES Remix 2 and Child of Light. It was a good direct, but it didn't have any new "big" announcements like Hyrule Warriors so people complain. I for one will be spending time buying and playing eShop games on my 3DS thanks to the awesome sale (when I'm not doing the insane amount of work I have at the moment).




#220252 Nintendo E3= Disappointing?

Posted by Happy Monk on 12 June 2013 - 08:34 AM in E3 2013 Archive

It might be enough for you, but with so many individuals in existence with so many different opinions on what's a fun game, it's a paltry selection.

You can never please everyone.




#219840 Nintendo E3= Disappointing?

Posted by Happy Monk on 11 June 2013 - 03:05 PM in E3 2013 Archive

Then you look at what the competition is getting and you realise that's a pretty small lineup.

Sonic is also coming this year I believe.

That is 7 games for the Wii U that all look excellent. 7 is more than enough.

Especially considering I have a 3DS as well.




#219439 Nintendo E3= Disappointing?

Posted by Happy Monk on 11 June 2013 - 08:30 AM in E3 2013 Archive

I was expecting some big games for christmas.
Everything is 2014.

Mario 3D World is Christmas, so is Donkey Kong. (Throw in third party like batman, assassin's creed, watch dogs and rayman: you've got a winning combo).




#219484 Nintendo E3= Disappointing?

Posted by Happy Monk on 11 June 2013 - 08:51 AM in E3 2013 Archive

Neither of those games are anywhere near system selling for me.

I didn't say they would, just when they were coming out.




#210110 No Hate - But People Are Taking Another Look @ Wii U

Posted by Happy Monk on 22 May 2013 - 12:04 PM in Wii U Games and Software

People really are just waiting for the Wii U to pick up some awesome first party games. And maybe for it to go cheaper.




#210143 No Hate - But People Are Taking Another Look @ Wii U

Posted by Happy Monk on 22 May 2013 - 02:16 PM in Wii U Games and Software

While Mircosoft at the moment is under water right now for stupid decisions (No backwards compatibility, no used-game support, focusing on the casual market, online requirement) they shouldn't be counted out yet. Since what Microsoft showed us was a glimpse of what they have in-store for at the E3 event, we need to have higher expectations.   The Wii U isn't doing so hot right now either, it sold at least 6,000 (probably more) units in Japan last week, a drought of games, and arguably the worst launch in recent memory for a home console. Microsoft's direction with the Xbox One is completely different from the 360's approach, now they are trying to reach out to the casual gamer more than they did before. I have an idea of what Microsoft has planned for E3, and if it's isn't like what I hope, then this system is doomed to fail miserably while 360 users migrated to the the Wii U and PS4.

 

Wait until their conference happens, that conclude with your decision, you make yourself like utterly foolish and ridiculous by rushing to a conclusion.  

The Wii U actually had a rather successful launch, second only to the Wii's. It's since Christmas ended it hasn't been selling... Immediate post launch is where it's falling down.
