#221533 Audio capabilities: Nintendo Wii U (comprehensive post).

Posted by dustinb12 on 14 June 2013 - 02:19 AM in Wii U Hardware

this topic really helps with what i'm after. i use a sony receiver 5.1 channels and i finished TP and play wwe 13 all the time on my wii u. i used the pro logic movie setting on my receiver and it sounded great for TP. i personally prefer to use the automatic setting (while watching movies and playing games) and have recently tried it with wwe 13. i find the two speaker lpcm sounds fantastic, although i miss the virtual surround sound. my question is are all the wii u games going to be in lpcm? i ask because now im looking into some good bookshelf/ possibly floor standing sony front speakers. suggestions are more than welcome

#179469 Worry about the Wii U? Read this

Posted by dustinb12 on 05 March 2013 - 12:53 PM in Wii U Hardware

nice find. i must admit i keep getting a sinking feeling about my beloved nintendo, starting when i read the last page of the last Nintendo Power. obviously they've been playing catchup for a long time but now it seems like they've just lost touch.  i was 5 when the NES came out, was completely captivated from my first time playing SMB, and have been playing almost only Nintendo games ever since.(27 years of loyalty) Now i have a child of my own and i tried to turn her on to the 3DS, and she opted for the IPOD touch. she does enjoy the occasional mario party, kart, nintendoland sessions. Nintendo is missing that magical connection it used to have. If a Pokemon is the answer, crank one out and then try something new and fresh maybe. I will be heartbroken the day i have to play Zelda on a PS something or other




#257598 Super Mario 3D World receives 8 10/10s, get hype

Posted by dustinb12 on 23 November 2013 - 11:06 AM in Wii U Games and Software

i am so disciplined, i made my wife get it today, wrap for christmas without me even seeing it. and i preordered. but for real, this looks like it could be the best ever and I'm scared I might not finish WW HD. i am shocked at all the 10/10's though




#165526 How is Skyward Sword?

Posted by dustinb12 on 01 February 2013 - 02:24 PM in Wii U Games and Software

im currently replaying Twilight Princess now, and if you didnt like it, you probably won't care for SS. I like it overall, but here are some dislikes i had: the motion controls were forced on you most of the game, there were times Link was very hard to control, the game is a little long. Now here's the real deal: if you are a real Zelda fan you're gonna love it for the story. It was absolutely stunning. The music was great, they added a few rpg elements that i liked. bottom line, if you didnt like TP and you don't have a lot of time to spend on a Zelda title, you may want to put this one on the backburner for a little while. But i wouldnt

#211010 WWE 2K15 ideas?

Posted by dustinb12 on 24 May 2013 - 05:41 PM in Wii U Games and Software

a momemtum meter would help too. it just gets plain boring reversing reversals over and over. winning every match isnt challenging in the universe mode. it was a good game that could have been great it needs some help




#210757 WWE 2K15 ideas?

Posted by dustinb12 on 24 May 2013 - 03:14 AM in Wii U Games and Software

i have a lot to say on this one as i only have the wii version

 

 EVERYTHING i missed for having the nintendo version as in DLC, better graphics, intros that actually work, achievements, the ability to fully use whatever controller i wanted.

 

now thats out of the way.... The Shield, the ability to assign managers to wrestlers(not just before the match), Paul E. i really liked the limb target system, maybe expand on that some

#207286 NEW PACMAN:AND THE GHOSTLY ADVENTURES 3D PLATFORMER

Posted by dustinb12 on 15 May 2013 - 05:28 AM in Wii U Games and Software

my only regret with Pacman World 2= I never finished it. this game looks really cool. ive learned that the most fun is sometimes had with these whimsical platformers that don't take things too seriously(see: Klonoa)




#252914 Rumor: Nintendo bringing “Super Mario 64 reUmagined” and other updated classics

Posted by dustinb12 on 24 October 2013 - 05:52 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Double Dash and SM Sunshine would make more sense.(and me happy) Think of the colors and sounds of Sunshine in HD. It doesn't matter, i'd play 64 again if the controls get tighter




#222411 LPCM wii u games

Posted by dustinb12 on 15 June 2013 - 05:15 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

on my receiver there are quite a few different settings, all this time i've been using pro logic music, but multi station would work as well as the preset sony cinema sounds which did not sound good. twilight princess, nintendoland and mario wii u sounded great with pro logic music or movie setting. out the blue the other day i set the receiver to AFD auto which plays whatever you're doing/watching in the format it came with. so even with the wii u set to surround, it came through as lpcm through the two front speakers and sub only. and sounded fantastic. im plenty fine with not having dolby, it was pointless on the gc and wii  if it wasn't the digital anyway. my mission is to upgrade my front speakers to maybe some floor standing sony's to match my receiver. i have what came in the box and its time to upgrade after hearing the wrestling come smashing through the living room. Lookout super luigi u!

 i use a sony receiver dh510 with 5.1 channels and i finished TP and play wwe 13 all the time on my wii u. i used the pro logic movie setting on my receiver and it sounded great for TP and of course Nintendoland and Mario wii u. i personally prefer to use the automatic setting AFD Auto (while watching movies and playing games) and have recently tried it with wwe 13. i find the two speaker lpcm sounds fantastic, although i miss the virtual surround sound. my question is are all the wii u games going to be in lpcm? i ask because now im looking into some good bookshelf/ possibly floor standing sony front speakers. suggestions are more than welcome

 




#209940 External HD

Posted by dustinb12 on 22 May 2013 - 02:22 AM in Wii U Hardware

ive been looking over old posts for an answer and really can't find the ones i need so here goes..

 

im starting to download lots of VC titles for my wii u and im looking to back up the purchases, i have a 500 GB Toshiba HD, not powered. just usb cable coming out

 

1. will it work with my wii u

 

2. will it cause problems

 

3. does it have to be left plugged in at all times (i don't like this much)

 

4. are the games just copied to it, or are they moved to it and run off of it 

 

5. are the games backed up automatically or do i have to tell the wii u to do it

 

thanks from a Nintendo Power/tech knowledge deprived fellow

thanks gang. it makes since now. evidently this is why the 3DS came with an sd card. i appreciate the help but one more question:

 

if the hd goes bad, do i lose my games?

Posted by dustinb12 on 26 May 2013 - 04:11 AM in Wii U Hardware

wow. while doing a little research on purchasing said y cable, i stumbled across Nintendo's website, i had no idea i couldn't just hook up my hd i've been using to backup pics and music from my mac. according to nintendos website, while formatting the device, everything on it would be erased. looks like i'll be buying a new one for this project. btw, how many different types of y cables are there? im confusing myself




#172648 Should i get nintendo land?

Posted by dustinb12 on 18 February 2013 - 07:01 AM in Wii U Games and Software

i guess it would depend on your age and preferences. im a lifelong nintendo fan and it was a nobrainer for me. from the outside lookin in, it looks like its sweet soft and would get old quick, but there is some serious fun to be had here. metroid will suck you in. its fun and there are a lot more levels than it seems. some of the games are fun and easy, some are insanely difficult. its worth 30$, but i made it a point to buy the deluxe system to get this game in the box

thanks a million smbeats. i had this problem periodically from day one but i let it go thinking the wiiu is still new maybe its growing pains, but recently i had only the fake miis and no games showing, but miiverse and browser still worked. i followed your formula and now im back in action with no damage. i still have all my posts and Nintendoland saves. thanks



#184633 Mario Party Wii U Wishlist

Posted by dustinb12 on 20 March 2013 - 02:04 PM in Wii U Games and Software

dont know if I'm the only one, but i really dig mario party 9. the boss battles were a great addition. i think it would be better if you could input your initials or show your mii when you break records on certain mini games (oldschool arcade style). maybe add some strategy to the boards, like on fortune street. some cards, or squares that mix things up. and how about a minigame creator?
