#113092 i didn't get to preorder

Posted by Spleenzorio on 27 September 2012 - 12:00 AM in Wii U Hardware

I spoke with one of the guys at EB Games today, I asked if we have a pre-order if we are guaranteed one on launch day and he says yup. Of course if they do get any units outside the number reserved for pre-orders, then it will be first come first serve. Even though I have a pre-order I'm still gunna be there early just because I want it that much

#109360 Wii U Memory

Posted by Spleenzorio on 17 September 2012 - 08:01 PM in Wii U Hardware

im really thinking of getting the biggest SD card i can find and just put it in there and not worry about an HDD. i wonder if that would be a faster transfer rate than a usb drive

Pulling up a random external drive to compare it to an SD card, the drive has a transfer rate of 480 Mbits/sec while SD cards can have a max of only 14.6 Mbits/sec. SD cards usually cost about a dollar per GB, of course the higher quality ones usually pay a bit more. But honestly for the price you might spend on a 32GB SD card, spend about 20 bucks more and you can get yourself a 500GB external drive. Sure you probaby don't need that much for a console, but you can use it for other things like movies and stuff. Personally I'm saving for a 2TB one for about 120 bucks just to store all my junk plus keep in the Wii U when I don't need it on my PC.

I just wonder how fast exactly will an external HDD run full downloaded games. i hope it doesnt create long load times or laggy gameplay or anything like that! im suprised they arent usb 3.0 ports. Or even just using my flash drive for now until I get a lot more games later on when i need the space, if it can read the memory fast enough to play the games as it would an internal hdd

Depends on how quick the transfer rate is on the drive.

#109050 Snowboard kids for Wii U in development?

Posted by Spleenzorio on 17 September 2012 - 10:35 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Snowboard Kids 1 was the best. I'd love to see another one for Wii U with the same cartoony visuals but in upgraded 1080p graphics.

#109011 Can nintendo pull of the gamecube2... with better 3rd party support?

Posted by Spleenzorio on 17 September 2012 - 08:26 AM in Wii U Hardware

The Wii U will be fine. I can see it definitely being the spiritual successor to the Gamecube. For those worried about it not having graphics that are able to keep up with next Gen (which by the way.. No one knows anything about yet outside of the Wii U), seriously...it would be best for all if you just shut up and go away until those systems come out. Nintendo has long gave gamers great EXPERIENCES.Every xbox and playstation has virtually remained the same every generation with same old games and just prettier games. A lot of gamers are content with that, but Nintendo fans..ie the last of the REAL gamers are not content with mediocrity.

Exactly. No matter what Nintendo shows off, it gets me excited. Even though I have all current gen consoles, I like to think of myself as a Nintendo fanboy. I'm always pumped the most for their E3 conferences, while I never get too hyped for the other two because they never really show anything that hasn't been done before. I was so excited for the 3DS leading up to it's launch, I didn't even wanna go and try it before it came out, I wanted to experience it first hand after I purchased it. Same with Wii U. I'm glad Wii U is only 2 months away, I don't think I'd be able to hold off my excitement any longer than that

#108877 Launch Day Advice

Posted by Spleenzorio on 16 September 2012 - 07:45 PM in Wii U Hardware

If you are wondering what it looks like to get to the midnight launch late, this is a video I made last year for the MW3 midnight launch at my EB Games. ABout 35 seconds in the employee explains how "pre-ringing" works, which is what I assume they will all be doing at most midnight launches with a ton of people.

#108753 What games did U pre-order?

Posted by Spleenzorio on 16 September 2012 - 03:26 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I usually never preorder a game unless there will be a preorder bonus, or I think it's gunna be in such a high demand I won't get one unless I have a preorder. But since I'm kinda poor atm all I have is AC3 preordered, which I switched over from the PS3 version I had already paid off. Launch games I do wanna get are Mario for sure, ZombiU and Darksiders 2, maybe Rayman and Tank!x3. Then whenever Lego and Transformers comes out Imma get those too.

#108732 not very much memory

Posted by Spleenzorio on 16 September 2012 - 02:59 PM in Wii U Hardware

Let's put this into perspective. An Xbox 360 250GB HDD is about 120 bucks. For the same price, you can buy a 2TB external hard drive which you can also put other stuff on, not just dedicated to your gaming machine.

#108598 Classic Controller Pro and pre-MotionPlus Wiimote compatibility

Posted by Spleenzorio on 16 September 2012 - 10:35 AM in Wii U Hardware

Hey guys, quick question about the compatibility with these controllers. I know it's been said that almost all Wii accessories will be compatible with the Wii U, but I'm wondering if the Classic Controller Pro and "first gen" Wiimotes (those that came out before the built in MotionPlus) be compatible?
