Assassin's Creed 3 is worth the money on its single player only. The naval battles are pretty fun, but I don't think the normal multiplayer want that good.

Didn't realize my thread got thrown into here lol......cool thanks.....so u don't think the mp is that good?! I'm still on the fence about it.....I've heard such mixed reviews on it......but the people that love it seem toLOVE IT

Getting a new game today....I have blops and Mario u ......is assassins creed worth it? There's really no other game that fits my eye right now...


How is multiplayer? Is it fun/ worth then60 beans?

I got the orange and black nerf armor also..... it didnt look very appealing to me at launch, but it was really the only thing out.....actually pleasantly surprised....looks awesome........i got mine completely for the look. I love the bulkiness of a case...same thing with my i phone lol.....dont know what it is but i think it looks coole rwith a case.

LOL, anyone who has Wii U must be completely satisfied, and if they arent, they probably had some trepidation about buying one in the first place. The ONLY complaint I have, if you can even call it a complaint, is the launch titles, NSMBU is a 9/10 in my book, and has just blown me away......BLOPS 2 is very very solid, and gonna be the game that consumes me while i eagerly await new titles......but im not big on AC3, zombie u etc.....so i cant even call it a complaint, because I, just like everyone else knew exactly the games that would be available.....its simply a justification for having ANY one thing be not stellar with the WII U. Everything else has been above and beyond what my expectations were for the system.

Dont really know why someone would sell this so soon.

Eagerly awaiting Rayman, Zelda, Kart, Party, and all the titles and platformers that put Nintendo into a league of their own. And the sole reason it can still be a monster entity among microsoft and sony.

Just a heads up, this a MAJOR issue for me also. I love the U, but the voice chat is just brutal. Its so difficult, and unneccessary. All I want is a party while I play a game. Thats it.

BUT.....I think this might make you happy. If you own an ipod/iphone.....the earbuds that come with the device have a microphone in it. Yes, the normal white earbuds apple makes. I know there are some without microphones, but im pretty sure all the newer ones do. Definitely if it came with your iphone or pod. So, if you have a pair, then you can just plug those babies into the gamepad, and your buddies can hear you chat and vice versa. its not as clear as lets say a tritton set etc from xbox or so, but for a free headset, with in game sound, its not bad. hope this helps.

Wish people would just stop bashing the Wii U. Nintendo's got this. Now as for the haters, you get this:

This lol.

I got chills when I saw the first hd Mario trailer ever. On top of that, I can finally revert back to Nintendo, and not have to use a freakin numbchuck and get out of my seat and move around. I can sit right in my comfy chair, use my pro controller, and play all the classic nintendos like Mario Zelda etc in hd, and love every second of it.

I put down a preorder here in AUS, Only the basic model as i dont really see the extra value in the more expensive one.

Lol deluxe is gonna be sick dude! I'm lovin the black color, not too mention, nintdo land included in the package which to me, is the pinnacle hangin out with your friends game, and also much much more memory. But hey, to each their own!

I definitely preorder deluxe, and am officially losing sleep over this system. Only tng on my mind, and it's still so far away.

Honestly, im in love with my U......BUT theposter made some reallyyyyy reallyyy good points as far as what im looking for in the system. I wish more than ANYTHING It had normal voice chat, and wasnt such a process. Like you said, being able to voice chat while keeping the map on the gamepad.....it jsut makes no sense to me why you cant.....and not being able to chat while playing a game like NSMBU just baffles my mind. I get that they want people to be playing live, but for the love of Ray J they put out a next generation console, and you cant voicechat at all times? jeez.....

With that being said, As I mentioned, I LOVE my U, and I think it is in soooo many ways exactly what I wanted, and a MAJOR step up for my liking from the Wii. That system was just not good imo. The nunchuck didnt do it for me. I think people like us just need to do what we can with the voice chat, and be happy we at least have it for blops at all on a nintendo system.

Yeah mine froze on day 1 out of the blue....I think I made a slight movement with the gamepad and then boom.....I lost a couple levels on Mario, but that's about it......the power wouldn't even turn off, it just wasn't responding so I had to unplug all together.....once I put it back on, it's been working like a charm....I got a nice 5 hour Sesh in yesterday with no issues...

Honestly dude, you hafta step off the ledge lol....when that wii u comes out.....no matter if it ends up being amazing or not, do you really wanna be the one sitting there on nov17th at midnight....a Saturday night I might add.....thinking.......did I really cancel my wii u preorder? While everyone else is entering a brand new era of Nintendo with high def graphics for the first time in Nintendo history, and experiencing that brand new console feeling you only get like once every ten years.....


If that doesn't sell u then I don't know what will

I'm sure we can all agree that Mario kart on the gamepad is going to be EPICCC......and a reason to get the U by itself.

I just watched numerous videos and trailers for Zombie U, and although it is kind of upsetting to not have that MP replay value, if the game is lengthy and time consuming, it will be well worth the 60 beans. This game looks straight up legitttttt. I was scared just watching the trailer. Cant imagine playing this game late at night with the lights off. Gamepad is gonna be insane with Zombie.

To me, the launch isn't incredible, but there is a lot to be excited about. I think NSMBU will shock some people. I'm definitely getting it.

I think no matter what it will be a decent launch, but has the potential to be an incredible launch if zombie u turns to be a good title. I'm definitely getting zombie u on launch, but I have such mixed feelings, and its so hard for to tell if this game is gona rock out or flop. To me though, zombie u has the potential to make this a great great launch.

If anything, you could hook the Wii up to a second TV in a different room when you get the Wii U. Your house will be completely Wiified.

Lol that's very true.....or now that I think about it.....I'll probably give it to the girlfriend....and it'll always be at her place if I'm lookin to play Somethn

Lol that's very true.....or now that I think about it.....I'll probably give it to the girlfriend....and it'll always be at her place if I'm lookin to play Somethn

Also, the bundle I got came with Wii super Mario, and I purchased galaxy on the side....I definitely will get twilight princess....after that, are there any major titles I should be getting?

So, here's the deal....preorders all good too go....but I clearly am freakin out waiting another 59 days, so I'm looking to maximize my time and money now etc...


GameStop is offering 130 for my ps3 and I have a couple options.....I could either

A. Go grab a wii for 150 which comes with super Mario, and a wii mote, and a numbchuck. This gets me accustomed to some Wii traditional gameplay, while also grabbing me a wii mote and numbchuck.

B. trade it in towards pro controller, and games( keep in mind I will definitely be getting a pro controller either way plus games. This won't change what I'm getting on launch day.)

The wii mote and numbchuck is 60 bucks, so if I go grab a Wii, I do save money in that sense. But my main issue is this,

The deluxe bundle doesn't come with a wii mote or numbchuck. If I know I'm going to get a pro controller neway, should I even bother grabbing a wii mote and numbchuck?

What are the differences between the pro controller and the wii mote?

Any feedback would be great. Thanks guys.

Fiery- but for those same purposes, can you use the pro controller? Like if I'm playing with another person on NSMBU, can we use the game pad and the pro controller?

Spear- lol thanks dude. But like can you do the same things with the wiimte that u can with the pro controller? A I gonna be investing in a wiimote regardless? Because if so, I may as well grab the Wii right now with my ps3 trade in. That gets me two solid months of gaming with a brand new console, gets me accustomed to some Wii traditions, and also grabs me a Wiimote and chuck, again, keep in mind, I have 360 and ps3. I'm definitely trading in my ps3 cuz the new models coming out, and I wanna get as much as I can for it.

if you plan on playing nintendo land with a friend then u need a wii mote and nunchuku but if you dont then bother. if you want to play old wii games then you also need wii mote and nunchuku. it all depends on what you want to use the controllers for

Pokey- so like, I can't play Nintendo land with a partner, and just use the game pad and a pro controller?

Plus you get to play Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Eternal Darkness on it! (Even though you'd need to get a GC controller and memory card first)

Yesss so excited to play the Zelda's.....I'm playing super Mario bros right now....and I'm absolutely loving life.....after not playing a new Mario for ages, it feels damn good......what's GC support?

Yesss so excited to play the Zelda's.....I'm playing super Mario bros right now....and I'm absolutely loving life.....after not playing a new Mario for ages, it feels damn good......what's GC support?

There's no doubt that I would have gotten them eventually and played them on the Wii u regardless.....so now it's Actually an incredible time killer....

Wait...I'm an idiot....GC means GameCube support doesn't it....

I teach as well. So does my wife.

Lol sweet . Yeah, teachings a good gig......plus.......I know ur excited for winter break to really do some damage with that new Wii u....lol

O boy..... I did a bad thing guys lol.....

Spear- I teach English for a living lol....I read way too much as it is.....new console sounded too good to pass up....

Bob-OMB and everyone else......appreciate all the feedback......I just couldn't resist myself....it's a boringmsaturdya afternoon.....the girlfriend is taking a teaching certification test...i gave in to gamestops dictatorship demands lol.....I went ahead and traded in the ps3 for 130 and got wii bundle with super mario, and super Mario galaxy.....it is the black wii tho....with the new motion plus controls....so it's pretty legit...overall I could have ended up taking the 90 leftover trade in bonus after getting a wiimote and chuck, and spent it on games and controllers BUT.....that's not as fun lol....c'mon all gamers know that Shiny new feeling....I was bored.....grew up with 64, been away from Nintendo for a while with a 360 and a ps3..... So whatever I went for it lol....just fired it up....I feel like a kid again....got some pizza on the way......gonna be a solid day lol....

In the end....like I said I'm 25 and I Teach for a living...the 90 bucks isn't gonna make or break me.....still gonna go ahead and get the games I want and the pro controller etc on launch day.....but now I got my hands on a nice shiny new black wiimote and enough new Mario content for quite some time lol.....thanks all.......

Depending on the games you are planning to play, you'll probably need a wiimote+nunchuk at some point. It's perfect for fps-style games or strategy "point-and-click" games like Pikmin. But once you have the WiiU, you would only need the Wii for playing Gamecube games, so unless you plan to do that, you'd probably be better off buying a wiimote+nunchuk instead of a wii.

Right....this definitely makes sense.....but in my head its like this....I'm trading in the ps3 neway, and it sounds like I should be getting a mote and a chuck neway? Why not just grab a Wii for the next two months, enjoy that.....and that comes with a wiimote and chuck. So basically. If I'm spending 60 on wiimote and nchuck already, then why not just cough u the extra 70 or so dollars of trade in cash to have a Wii for the next two months, not too mention in could probably trade in Mario for something after, and maybe get something for the Wii console on eBay........thoughts?

Did someone here mention that if you preorder at GameStop, you still need to be there ways in advance because its still first come first serve? I was under the impression that if you preorder at GameStop, you have one waiting for you on launch day. There is a buying window I'm sure of a few days. If you don't buy within that window, you forfeit your preorder.....can anyone speak in this?

I preordered my deluxe from toys r us, and the manager of the store specifically told me that the preorder slip guarantees me a console on launch day. It has to be the same thing at GameStop.

This is awesome news......I may just have to get it now.....Glad I posted lol. Thanks everyone.

The funny thing about it to is the two initial times I played online as ac3, I played for about two hours each session and there was this guy who was lvl 50 and had a 3 next to his name on the left side. I assumed that's how many times he "prestiged" so I was shocked and confused on how he did it with this little ppl playing . Developer maybe ? He was pretty good but nothing to get excited over. I did come first two of the games.

The best advice I can give man is to post on the ac3 section of miiverse saying your looking for friends to play online with. That's what I did for sonic transformed and now have an ample amount of ppl to play online with. I would add you to play online but Unfortunetely I gameflyed the game so once i do a 100% run through single player ill return it. About 20 hours in now

righttt. I appreciate it. Im just hoping that I could jump on the U, and be able to join a game online, like every other online format for games lol. Hopefully after christmas, the amount of online players will increase big time. I mthinking I may give it a shot and get it this weekend. Not positive though.

your totally right. I didnt even think about all the bump in sales after the holidays. hmm....maybe ill pick it up this weekend, get started on the campaign and hopefully next week mp will pickup. Good call.

Ive posted a little bit about it before, but still not too sure. Im really thinking about getting AC3, but am not sure how it plays because ive never played a single one of the AC's before. Can anyone shed some light on how the multiplayer works etc?

Im looking for a game with major replay value and this came to mind. Thanks!
