Nice bundle! Wish they would've had this at launch.

They did. In europe. And i got one.

Guess I should've been more specific. I wish they had this for the NA launch.

Next step: Let's see if Nintendo can properly advertise this.

Not sure how exactly this would work tbh. Actually draw the map, to scale? Could just make it automatic, as you walk around an area you see a map being drawn on the gamepad, but doing it yourself would get tedious real fast imo.

The GamePad would allow you to zoom in and out of your map and draw your map the best way you see fit(to scale or not). The canvas is yours to do as you wish. It's like the old days(well, for me at least ) when we didn't always have strategy guides and maps and we had to draw our own. Only this time, you can save your maps and edit them as you wish on the GamePad. Though, as I said, I can see how this might be an annoyance to some gamers. It could definitely be tedious work.

With the GamePad, I would love a Zelda game where YOU have to draw out all of your maps. This applies to the overworld and dungeons. Whenever you enter a new area, your GamePad will allow you to start drawing a map with the stylus as you progress. Any maps you create for any area/dungeon will be saved and can be edited at anytime. You can also mark the locations of treasures, secrets, character locations, … pretty much anything you want. This feature would probably be more of an annoyance for some gamers, but imagine the immersion and feeling of exploration you'd have. You would actually have to work at finding your way around instead of relying on pre-drawn maps you find in treasure chests.

You can't post screenshots of Sqaure-Enix games on Miiverse because Wii U doesn't support DX 11.1














/sarcasm

I figured I would post this here since Wii U can play Wii games. If a mod wants to move it to General Gaming, then feel free.

I don't think it sold very well in Europe at all. It is odd that the game is just now getting a NA release. However, it's good to know that Operation: Rainfall was a complete success. 3 for 3!

Gamers win?





Gamers win.

A few come to mind...

-Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum (NES)

-Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES)

-Street Fighter I/Fighting Street (Arcade/TG-16)

Haven't been by in a while, but I had to stop in and comment on the trailer...


DAAAAAAYYYUUUUUUMMMMM!!!!! Game just reeks of awesomeness!

I want this NOW....all over my face!! Looks beautiful!! And off-TV play??? Yes, please!!!!

God ikr? I LOVE Super Metroid.

 

Yeah, I wish they'd put Starfox and Yoshi's Island on the VC. I heard they didn't due to the games using is FX 2 chip. I don't know how true that is, but I'd really like to play both on my Wii U. I'm also looking forward to some Sega Gen, N64, and GBA titles. So much potential!

 

Hmmm... I don't know if the FX 2 has anything to do with those titles being absent or not. I refuse to believe they can't do it at all. Maybe some extra coding and tweaking is required for those games?

Yeah. I saw a video on their channel showing some more games than this, I was hoping we'd get more launch titles. Based on the video though we'll eventually get Kirby Super Star, Kirby Dream Course, and Kirby's Dreamland 3. We also have to remember the 30 cent promotion titles too.

 

Super Metroid.......on the gamepad...........it's.......almost........here!!

 

I really hope Nintendo is much more aggressive with the VC this time around. There are so many games we didn't get on the Wii VC. If Nintendo could get ALL of their back catalog onto the VC along with a huge variety of third-party games, they'd have the ultimate collection of digital titles. It would be a goldmine for them! I know the likelihood of that happening is pretty much zero, but there is so much potential there. A one-stop place for all your Nintendo needs.

Gotta get my Wii in for repair real soon so I can finally do my transfer. It still works, but certain parts of the system are corrupt and I can't access Wii Shop Channel for the transfer utility. Sucks...

Launch titles have been announced.

 

NES

Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong Jr.
Excite Bike
Ice Climber
Kirby’s Adventure
Punch-Out!!

SNES

Super Mario World
F-Zero

Now, let's see if Nintendo can give us a steady stream of VC releases on a weekly basis instead of throwing out a few bones here and there. They need to stay consistent this time.

I don't know anything about hardware. Like, nothing at all lol. But from what I read, the Wii wasn't able to properly emulate games that used the FX 2 chip. The FX chip was a pretty revolutionary thing back when the SNES was out. It allowed for games to do things like have large sprites on the screen (Yoshi's Island) and helped render polygons (Star Fox). Anyway, so idk if we can get Earthbound, hopefully we can get Star Fox and Yoshi's Island.

 

I hope so too. It would be a shame for these two particular titles to completely miss the VC boat.

Figured this deserved its own thread since we got some new details this morning.

Here are the details we know so far:

-Will launch in the spring after the first performance update is released

-NES and Super NES will be supported immediately (other platforms will surely follow as time goes by)

-GBA games will be supported at some point as well

-Wii U VC games will be playable on the Wii U GamePad

-Games will retail for the same amount as they did on the Wii VC

-If you purchased any titles on Wii VC and transferred them to Wii U, you will be able to redownload these titles on the Wii U VC at a discounted price. Discounted prices for NES games will come in at $1.00 and Super NES games will come in at $1.50

-Wii U VC Campaign, created to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the Famicom's release, will allow Wii U owners to download 1 game per month at the price of 30¢. This price will be available for 30 days per game. After 30 days, the price will return to its normal retail amount. Below is a schedule of the releases for NA/Europe and Japan.

NA and Europe:

January- Balloon Fight (NES)
February- F-Zero (SNES)
March- Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
April- Kirby's Adventure (NES)
May- Super Metroid (SNES)
June- Yoshi/Mario & Yoshi (NES)
July- Donkey Kong (NES)

Japan:

January- Balloon Fight (NES)
February- Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem) (SNES)
March- Mother 2 (EarthBound) (SNES)
April- Kirby's Adventure (NES)
May- Super Metroid (SNES)
June- Yoshi's Egg (Yoshi) (NES)
July- Donkey Kong (NES)

A PS4 port? Wouldn't it make more sense to port from the PC and scale everything to take advantage of that console?

At least it won't be a PS3/360 port.

I believe the PS4 and Wii U versions will be PC ports. That's good because, as you said, they can scale the game accordingly and make it the absolute best it can be on each console. I expect the Wii U version to share more in common with the high-end platforms. Of course, that's all in Ubisoft's hands.

Ugh, that's depressing. Games and advertising. Games and advertising. C'mon, Nintendo, repeat after me.

Doesn't like.. 70% of Japanese households already have a Wii U?

If that were the case, Japan would have an install base of around 80 million right now.

Never played this, but the effort they're putting into this is outstanding. I'm definitely intrigued.

If the Wii Us sales are going up after these titles released, then how mow much would they spike if a new SSB game released?

 

 

 

Here's to hoping.

Perhaps, It was for the week of 25-31 March.  Not sure exactly when it released, this is a copy paste from another news source.

 

Just checked up on the release date and it was the 30th. So, yeah, I expect(and hope) to see greater numbers next week for Wii U. Hopefully, this game will grow some legs and bring in some good sales over time. I mean, it's DQ in JAPAN for goodness sake!

Not sure if true, but I read that DQX was only released for 2 days or so when these numbers came out. Hopefully, we'll see an even larger spike in Wii U sales next week.
