#145917 Wii U keeps disconnecting/reconnecting every few seconds

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 09 December 2012 - 10:47 AM in Wii U Hardware Help

I'm having a similar problem. I can connect to the Internet, but the Miiverse, eShop and the 2nd update are as good as useless rarely connecting for more than a few seconds.

#147502 Will Wii U be next gen's PS3?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 13 December 2012 - 06:14 AM in Wii U Hardware

I've not heard it's difficult to develop for outside of just being new and developers needing time to get use to it. The PS3 issue was about a complicated infrastructure leading to developer under using it's superior power.

The Xbox720 is at least a year off and is unlikely to be able to show off it's power from day one like most other consoles.

Ultimately it comes down to the games. I buy Nintendo (only) because I want Zelda, Mario etc, not because of the 3rd party titles or power.

#147505 Wii U is in a precarious position

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 13 December 2012 - 06:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

For a positive scenario I'd suggest that the Wii U spends the next 12 months filling the gap left by the lack of another next gen console. With a Wii fans having grown older there is more of a market for 3rd parties to utilise a Wii U audience hungry for titles. The Xbox720 comes out next christmas at inflated price but very little new other than more power. The Wii U is manufacturing at a profit by then and is able drop the price and release the sure fire hit Mario Kart U whilst 3rd party developers are launching next gen titles for it.

Another 12 months later and Xbox 720 has started to realise next gen titles but is still behind on price, the PS4 launches with similar problems only more so now. Nintendo launch a revamped Wii U with the problems ironed out and an even lower price.

The Wii U Performs steadily for the following 3 years boosted by regular releases of it's own franchises, which it's audience are now familiar with after Nintendo Land, and responsible 3rd party support from companies.

Then several years ahead of a fourth Xbox and fifth Playstation it does a Ninth generation console. It put the squeeze on Sony and Microsoft by cutting across their usual seven cycle before their units have become really profitable.

Hmmm maybe not but it's a nice thought.

It's safe to assume both the next gen Xbox and Playstation will come with plenty of Wii U crushing specs which will never fully be utilised and come with plenty of technical problems and a high price tag.

#148247 How is the Wii U going to do in 2013?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 15 December 2012 - 03:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

The next 12 months should be fine as they'll no doubt be a few 3rd parties wanting to cash in on Wii U owners looking for titles to show off their new machine.

Nintendo will probably hold back some of its big franchises to make way, hence Pikmin 3 and Wii Fit U rather than a Zelda or Mario title in 2013.

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 16 December 2012 - 07:30 AM in Wii U Hardware

The thing about 3rd party support for Nintendo system is that the 1st party titles are so damn good! I'd like to see better 3rd party support rather than more. Shovelware etc.

It'd be nice if the Wii U wasn't an after thought to devolpers!

#148516 Should I get the Wii U?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 16 December 2012 - 07:34 AM in Wii U Hardware

How satisfied are you with your purchase? Very

Are you able to play online? Yes
Are there any Dragon Ball games coming out any soon? Don't know.
Will the Wii U be able to run eg PS4 games or the next gen games? I suspect It'll be able to run Next Gen for a least a couple of years.

Mario Paintball. It would be the best FPS ever....

It'd be nice to Twilight Princess get a make over.

It'll be interesting to see who far the Wii U can be pushed. Will they produce (actual) 1080p games for the Wii U

#149670 Please tell me im wrong

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 19 December 2012 - 01:30 PM in Wii U Hardware

I imagine Sony and Microsoft will make a BIG leap but then to utilise that power will take time. In the meantime the Wii U can build a solid base of consumers to attract 3rd parties.

#151803 How is Black Ops 2 on the Wii U game pad?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 25 December 2012 - 11:48 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Playing Blops2 for the first time today, I'd been used to the Wiimote + Nunchuck for FPS and wasn't sure whether i'd like going back to a standard controller.

Really enjoyed using the Wii U gamepad. Very comfortable and using the screen to play on when the telly was occupied was Brilliant.

#152607 Next Gen Graphics?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 27 December 2012 - 12:23 PM in Wii U Games and Software

It's early doors at the moment so graphics wise there isn't going to be anything mind blowing yet but I am curious what people think will be the first Next Generation Game (graphics significantly better than the 360 and PS3) to be released?

In terms of confirmed titles Bayonetta 2 is an exclusive purpose built for the Wii U. Perhaps Aliens: Colonial Marines will look significantly better than the other ports (but I doubt it).

It'd be nice to see a title next year that really allow the Wii U to flex its muscles.

#152610 Next Gen Graphics?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 27 December 2012 - 12:29 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I think your right Zelda looks the most likely.

A new Metriod title?

#153502 Next Gen Graphics?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 29 December 2012 - 10:25 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I hope Nintendo, or a third party are working on something to really push the Wii U. Something that feels like a power leap, not just from the Wii but from the PS3/360.

Unfortunately Nintendo seems out of the loop when it comes to such titles. Hopefully Retro Studios will pull something out of it's behind with it's "Untitled Project"

#153508 Retro's Untitled Project? Speculation thread

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 29 December 2012 - 10:34 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Retro Studios are working on an "Untitled Project" which they describe as "a project everyone wants us to do".

Please begin the random guessing below!!!

#153511 How the Wii U will handle against the new Consoles?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 29 December 2012 - 10:42 AM in Wii U Hardware

Within a year or so the Wii U will have some great games, content and more innovative gameplay. By the time the next Xbox or Playstation come out they will have to play catch up with Nintendo. The Wii U was made not to compete with current gen but to take out the next offerings from Sony and Microsoft.

This must be what Nintendo are relying on. Just holding my breath now that some eye popping games come to the Wii U soon.

Hmmm...new Star Fox or Metroid...maybe...

That'd be my guess! F-Zero U perhaps

#153879 swearing @.?~# on the wii U

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 30 December 2012 - 06:45 AM in Wii U Hardware

I'm not so much worried about swearing per se but I do hate the adolescent mentality which surrounds gaming. Swearing is symptomatic of the socially autistic world of Video Games. From 'Teabagging' to Sexism whether done by a 15 year old or and some in their 30's it's juvenile.

It'd be nice if the Wii U built a more mature community (the Miiverse seems like a good method) where cheating, bigotry and generally vegetagery isn't tolerated.

Yep that sucks too.

#153891 How the Wii U will handle against the new Consoles?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 30 December 2012 - 07:27 AM in Wii U Hardware

The Gamepad screen for playing on when the TV is being used is so great I think Nintendo should focus it's advertising on that in the new year.

For younger gamers using the family telly and older gamers in a relationship it's such a massive bonus. I've used my Wii U so much more now I'm able to do so without a battle for the telly!!! I'm enjoying playing more knowing that it's not causing a fuss.

#153926 How the Wii U will handle against the new Consoles?

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 30 December 2012 - 08:14 AM in Wii U Hardware

Nintendo Land is designed to develop the appetites of casual gamers by creating miniature versions of more complex franchises and teaching people the basics.

Enjoyed Metroid Blast? buy Metroid U!!

The Core vs Casual gamer divide is unhelpful and unreflective of the market. It's more complex than that and the post Wii Market is just getting used to that. Any new machine needs to have a wide range of gaming styles to be successful.

#153928 swearing @.?~# on the wii U

Posted by KarlMarx1818 on 30 December 2012 - 08:22 AM in Wii U Hardware

why would swearing indicate a lack of vocabulary surely it's more weapons in the arsenal of language lol and its great to drop the f bomb sometimes.

It's when people use swear words instead of other more descriptive words it becomes a sign a poor vocabulary. If a persons use's the F-word ever other word then they immature or inarticlute. "I F-ing shot him in the F-ing head for F's sake, F you all" for example.

Don't get me wrong, I love to use the full width of the language and dropping the F-word is a joy and pleasure, it's really game/situation appropriate thing.

Miiverse is a public space so it's never right there.

I find racism and sexism actually offensive, swearing is just overused.
