I swear no one reads what I post Nintendo leaves it up to the developers what to do with voice chat the game pad mic is used to chat in mass effect 3 so if they want to use the mic they can or they will use a headset or nothing depends on the laziness of the developer.

I think it'd work quite well, would need to be heavily supervised and helped but I think it would be a great idea!

1.) I must say that setting it up is a hassle for me, but that's because I'm a clean OCD freak and must was my hands very thoroughly before using it, lest I smudge and dirty the Gamepad. And yeah, looking down for a quick map isn't actually as handy as it was made to sound before the system launched. Finally, playing on the Gamepad is very handy be it on the couch while the TV is being used, or as you mentioned, in bed. This convenience is further driven home by just how surprisingly comfortable the Gamepad is. So for the most part, I definitely agree with you on these points.

2.) This I must respectfully disagree with however. It is bland in a sense, but it is also simple. I honestly get lost in the 360's menus because it's just so crowded. I still can't remember how to change backgrounds half the time, and don't even get me lying about how you move data. The Wii U's interface is very streamlined and this greatly enhances the experience of gaming in my opinion. The Miiverse is also a very clever idea. I'm not saying either of them are perfect however, and do hope that they update it a bit in the future. But I do not want the menus to ever become crowded.

As for your wish on more Mii customization, that would be nice to have. But having it like the 360's would not work quite as simply. The 360's works because they can charge you for the hundreds of clothes and whatnot. The Wii U's was built-in. And if it was as content-packed as the 360's Avatar section, I highly doubt anyone would want to browse through 20+ pages of noses for their Mii.

3.) Hrmm... I can definitely see the point here, but I also disagree to an extent. The only controller you really need for the Wii U is the Gamepad. You will never need anything else for a Wii U game. If you are delving into multiplayer like I'd presume most everyone would however, it does become an issue and that is lame a tad bit. Especially whenever you get into the peripherals of the original Wii. Oh goodness, the Wii Wheels, the Zappers, the Classic Controllers and Pros.. It really was overdone. But the point I'm trying to convey here is that you don't actually need any more controllers. You don't have to adapt to them unless you so choose.

(The original Wii-mote can either be painful to use, or the most comfortable controller ever depending on the game. Playing a game with your arms in a much more flexible position is quite nice with the Nunchuck - as long as you don't need motion controls.)

In the end though, I will say that I would not return the system. I don't enjoy it to it's fullest potential yet, but that's because it is premature and can't be. Once bigger games come out within even just next year alone I can see me greatly enjoying it. I completely understand the reasoning and motives behind selling yours though, and would not say you made a bad choice at all.



Good for you.



Eh, most of them are fair complaints. To simply call him a hardcore gamer because he has stated them is a tad senseless. By what definition of "Hardcore Gamer" are we talking? Because in my opinion a hardcore gamer is simply anyone who games a lot, and you can do that on you Wii, 360, PS3, or even PC. In my mind every single one is good for a hardcore gamer, because the term is silly and doesn't apply to any one system. What definition are you using to base your opinion of the 360 being a "hardcore" platform?



"If you don't have anything to add to a discussion, don't make a post like "I don't know what to say" or something just to boost your post count," fits quite nicely here, wouldn't you say?



I wouldn't say that they are pointless at all. In fact, they are almost all meaningful reasons. Sure I may disagree with them as a whole, but they are definitely good points.

Added:



Definitely. The Wii U has simply not come to its potential yet. The 360 is prone to be more enjoyable with the multitude of games on it. Later on down the road, five years from now I'm sure the Wii U will be the same though. Launches are just not meant for those who can not wait for games haha.

But what's the point? Everybody has a DVD player in their room, don't they? Well, if you don't, just go get yourself one. It's only 10$. >_>

That's what I was gonna say. ;p

Agreed, I made A joke about the console and the red rings and i was getting told to get out of the forums.

Its a shame we do not have a Nintendo Direct app on the Wii U, it would make a lot of sense.

these should answer your Question

Yoshi would be #1 definitely. All my characters would come from Mario, Spyro or Crash though...
