#149201 Your favorite video game character?

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 06:48 AM in General Gaming

Man that's hard to choose,

There are a lot I like such as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, Markus Fenix from Gears of War, Altair from Assassins Creed 1 and the Master Chief from Halo...



#149695 Wii U gamepads are being sold for

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 19 December 2012 - 02:09 PM in Wii U Hardware

Alright.. here's the catch.






IT HAS A BIG MOTHERhorsing SCREEN ON IT! Was everyone expecting it to be the price of a regular controller? It's common sense, more parts = more expensive.


And? The screen is still made of plastic. (which in this day and age is CHEAP)

Guess, i'll just have to wait for Mad Catz to make their own cheaper version of the GamePad until the Wii U's go on sale.

I suggest everyone take good care of the one that came with the console lest you want to spend a small fortune. Not sure about you, but for me money doesn't grow on horsing trees.



#149687 Wii U gamepads are being sold for

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 19 December 2012 - 01:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

Wii U Game Pads are now available for sale individually in the UK for £89. That price tag translates into $144 US dollars.

I don't see this price being too justifiable. Now if it could make me some coffee, then ok. This is stupid.



#149252 Why is there no Reset button?

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 09:51 AM in Wii U Hardware

This boggles the mind. I see no logical reason to remove the Reset button or not have one at all. Every Nintendo Consoles (we aren't talking about Handhelds) has had a Reset button.

The other day my Wii U locked up while the Miiverse was loading. I pressed the power button on the gamepad to shut it and the system off and that didn't work. The Gamepad turned off but the console was still on as the display was still on the TV screen. The console was hard locked and I had to pull the power cord out to turn it off.

More bad decision making on Nintendo's part.



#149196 What is your favorite gaming system?

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 06:42 AM in General Gaming

The Nintendo 64 as the time it was legit!



#149185 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 06:25 AM in Wii U Games and Software

At the end of the day that's not going to happen as this is the way Nintendo intended the game to be played.


Although I understand what you are saying, that doesn't change the fact that it was a dumb decision.



#148833 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 06:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Hello all, new here so sorry if this has been asked but I have been trying to figure out how to play two players on NSMBU.

I have the gamepad and one Wiimote but can't for the life of me figure out how to have two players running on screen at once. It's always just Mario and the person with the pad lays down blocks.

Is there no way to play with a Wiimote AND with the gamepad to play?



#148957 Two players - New Super Mario Bros. U (help)

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 02:51 PM in Wii U Games and Software

They should really patch this. I don't understand the reasoning for NOT letting people use the pad to play MP also.

Oh I forgot to to add my runner up!




#149692 This is the silliest response from a developer/producer yet

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 19 December 2012 - 02:04 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Everyone bashing Konami need to keep their mouths closed. They are doing what's right for business.

For starters, the Wii U doesn't come with a Pro Controller. They aren't going to make a game for the Wii U when a lot of people don't one a Pro Controller. (their game is designed to utilize controllers like the 360/ps3 not a gamepad)

Second, as someone else stated the Wii U doesn't even have $1 million users. It's an extremely small install base.

Anyways, luckily for me I own all platforms.



#149056 The official "What games should I get?" Thread

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 08:55 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Aliens: Colonial Marines is coming out next month. It's going to be amazing!



#149205 Question: How to protect the little people that play Wii U?

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 06:56 AM in Wii U Hardware

The best protection is to just monitor them really. The Miiverse is well moderated. You won't find any bad stuff on it. (at least I haven't).
As for them buying things, don't use a credit card. Always go to the store and buy the points cards.



#149307 Pokemon Snap + Wii U gamepad = :D

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 01:15 PM in Wii U Games and Software

As a matter of fact it could be far better than the original if you think about it.

1. Make the game open world. Unlike the first game that was on rails and you were stuck in a cart. The second game could be open world and you use the thumb sticks to move around and what not then when you want to take a photo of a Pokemon you just hold up the game pad.

2. Better graphics obviously

3. Since the original Pokemon snap there have been hundreds of NEW Pokemon meaning a lot more content.

4. The gamepad can also be used as the pokedex!



#149292 Pokemon Snap + Wii U gamepad = :D

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 12:40 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Think about it. A Pokemon Snap 2 on the Wii U would be amazing considering you can use the game pad as the camera. I remember when the Nintendo 64 had a special Blue and Yellow Pokemon edition console that came with a copy of Pokemon Snap. Good times!

Any objections?



#149574 NINTENDO TV COMING TOMORROW!

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 19 December 2012 - 09:27 AM in Wii U Hardware

But how can I watch 3 hours of Money Night RAW on the gamepad when the battery doesn't last that long?

#149199 Nintendo Land

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 06:45 AM in General Gaming

It's good but not great. I give it a 8.0. I'd rate it higher but there are a few issues where I had to deduct the score.

Issue 1:

No online play once so ever! This was a bad decision as I can't play some of the mini games unless someone is over at my house. I'm 26 years old. I'm not a child and don't have my friends come over as often as they did when I was in school. We are grown adults with families and jobs! It's 2012 and online Muliplay is a MUST.

Issue 2: Some games you can't play unless you have a Wiimote+
I'd like to play the ground aspect of Metroid but I can't!



#150454 Mario Party 2 on Club Nintendo - Wii Ware

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 21 December 2012 - 09:04 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Gah, I don't have a classic controller or a pro. I might buy one later.



#150443 Mario Party 2 on Club Nintendo - Wii Ware

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 21 December 2012 - 08:47 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I want to buy it off Club Nintendo for the virtual console but I was wondering if a wiimote would work with it or the game pad? Or do I need to get a pro-controller?

Edit- It says you need a Wii (just got rid of mine). Can MP2 and 1080 not be purchased for the Wii U?



#150449 Mario Party 2 on Club Nintendo - Wii Ware

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 21 December 2012 - 08:53 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Yea, just sign up, enter the codes for whatever games you have purchased and you are good to go. Every game you buy gives you coins you can spend in the store. I only have 260 saved up so I wanted to buy this or keep saving for something else.



#148834 mario bros u multiplayer question

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 06:34 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I just made a thread asking this question. I should have read down a bit further. This is a very stupid decision. Why can't we just use the game pad to play? Why are we limited to placing blocks?

I hope they patch this.

Edit- And what's this? You can't use a pro-controller either? WHY? Who is making these stupid decisions? So, in order to play with Mario and Luigi at once I have to have two Wiimotes? WHY CAN'T I JUST USE THE DAMN PAD?



#148958 Let's Talk IPs!

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 02:52 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Personally, an RTS game would work very well on the Wii U due to the pad.



#148837 Let's Talk IPs!

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 06:57 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I want a Super Mario All-Stars 2 more than anything really. Only, HD remakes of classic games updated with New Super Mario Bros. U and Mario Galaxy graphics.

1. Super Mario World (with Mario U graphics)

2. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (with updated graphics)

3. Super Mario 64 (with Mario Galaxy style graphics update)

4. Mario Sunshine (with Mario Galaxy style graphics update)

5. Yoshi's Story (with updated graphics)



#148959 Just sold my Wii U!

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 17 December 2012 - 02:55 PM in Wii U Hardware

So you sold it because you are impatient? The system JUST came out. Oh well, whatever. Your loss. (of money)

I'll be playing Aliens: Colonial Marines next month.



#149251 John Carmack: "A lot of next gen games will still target 30 fps."

Posted by Crimson_Engage on 18 December 2012 - 09:42 AM in Wii U Hardware

unfortunately, I can pretty much guarantee that a lot of next gen games will still target 30 fps.
https://twitter.com/...752127238889473

I kind of expected something like this to occur. I feel that few developers will be able to utilize 60FPS 1080p properly while most developers' games will target 30FPS 1080p.

The guy works in the industry.


He also stated that RAGE would run at 60fps with those amazing textures. No, the game runs at 60fps with garbage textures.
