#241636 Wii U Summer/Fall Update

Posted by wombateer on 26 August 2013 - 02:16 AM in Wii U Hardware

More speed, more apps, more features.




#238486 Wonderful 101 is the reason to own a Wii U

Posted by wombateer on 11 August 2013 - 08:17 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I genuinely tried the demo yesterday evening and... it's not my cup of tea. There is a lot on the screen going on at once and I get myself lost in that. Also, there might be videos tutorial and stuff but I feel that the game should make an interactive training session, especially in the drawing segment of the game with "punching bag enmmies" (ennemies that doesn't budge or if they do, they don't attack) and then gradually introduce action. What I played is a game that drops you directly into action with very little to help you out: Use "something" (/reference) to attack! Then, the action grows more intense and then it says "you can draw figures!" when you are already overloaded with checking the gamepad and then the mainscreen trying to figure out what to do. Argh. Again, I like action games but not this kind and that's probably what make me suck very hard.

 

The graphics however are pretty darn good. The greatest surprise I had was: Japanese audio with English subs! Wiis dubs, all hail original audio and language! (says somebody that loves anime and used to watch them a lot)

 

On that, take my opinion with a grain of salt because I'm not in this kind of game. Maybe Pikmin may be more suited for me than W101.

 

I said this. (http://thewiiu.com/t...e-2#entry238061

 

It's not my cup of tea either. But I'm sure many do find it appealing, and although an appealing game to many. I don't think this game is a reason to own a Wii U, but it gives it that bit more credibility. 




#238495 Wonderful 101 is the reason to own a Wii U

There's going to be a thread like this every time a Wii U exclusive is released.

 

More than likely. :)




#233867 Shin'en Explains Wii U EDRAM Usage

Posted by wombateer on 21 July 2013 - 10:46 PM in Wii U Hardware

I know this might sound a real dumb question, I'm not a tech junkie at all, but with all these numbers being thrown around, what happens when Nintendo come along and refine the OS, and possibly unlock another 500 meg of RAM. Will developers need to re-write/patch software for that change? Do gaming engines like, re-calculate, automatically for more resources?   




#238002 Who buys a Nintendo console for third party multiplats, anyways?

Posted by wombateer on 09 August 2013 - 03:31 AM in Wii U Hardware

Nintendo needs those mainstream 3rd party games, that's all.

Good versions of NBA, COD, GTA, MADDEN, FIFA, and BATTLEFIELD might help

 

 

If COD does well this year on Wii U, it might give Activision incentive to bring Destiny to Wii U, and I would love to see BF4 on Wii U and see what the GamePad brings in commander mode. 




#237784 Who buys a Nintendo console for third party multiplats, anyways?

Posted by wombateer on 08 August 2013 - 07:49 AM in Wii U Hardware

I just thought I should ask this.

 

I'm looking at the whining that the Wii U won't be getting games like Call of duty and such and I realized: I personally don't care.

 

My Wii collection is:

Spoiler

Blue are exclusive third parties, red are multiplatform. The only multiplatform I like is Sonic Unleashed.

 

I'd be perfectly happy with just Nintendo games. I did have an Xbox, but I found I didn't really care for any of the games available.

 

What about you?

 

But the Wii U is getting Call of Duty. 




#238501 Wind Waker U Discussion

Posted by wombateer on 11 August 2013 - 08:36 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I sadly missed the first so i'm buying this . :)

 

Me too, because I went for PS2 and not a GC back in the day, and when I got a Wii (all the back catalogue games on my list I never got through.) And then I did the silliest of things. I gave the Wii to my nephew and became an Xbox 360 gamer. 

 

So this time around, I'm there.




#216628 Nintendo said my ID was inappropriate so I had to delete it

Posted by wombateer on 06 June 2013 - 11:17 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Really? Are you really that surprised that it was deleted? I mean, why did you pick it in the first place? Was it because it was controversial, or was it because of personal status?

 

I applaud Nintendo and its foresight to know that the parent of their ten year old shouldn't see a message left in the Super Mario Bros U progress Miiverse feature by a "STDVirus."

 

What about a message left in Super Mario Bros U Miiverse by Dead Bunny? Is that not questionable. "Look mummy Dead Bunny..."  




#238061 Wonderful 101 direct thread

Posted by wombateer on 09 August 2013 - 10:27 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Tried it, and it's not my cup of tea. It's Splinter Cell for me, and possibly Sonic for now.




#241346 Anyone playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Posted by wombateer on 25 August 2013 - 05:32 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I got the game playing right now only problem is the game is really dark and like shooting in the dark

 

That's why you have night vision.  




#241048 Anyone playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Posted by wombateer on 22 August 2013 - 12:57 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Great game, hopefully Watch Dogs is as good.




#236112 Call of Duty Ghosts OFFICIALLY COMING TO WIIU!

Posted by wombateer on 30 July 2013 - 11:31 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Wii it be a straight Xbox 360 port, or will Treyarch ramp up the game to see what they can get out of the Wii U?

 

Do we get dog ear tattoos, sub-d and smart fish?




#214618 COD Ghosts Outed By E3Insider

Posted by wombateer on 02 June 2013 - 07:43 AM in Wii U Games and Software

At my local GAME store it had call of duty ghost in the wii u section.

 

The pre-order (mock up) box? Should have taken a photo. 




#218296 Xbox One price and release

Posted by wombateer on 10 June 2013 - 10:49 AM in E3 2013 Archive

I'll just stick with my Xbox 360 and Wii U for the time being. Oh and my OUYA (when it traps) for indie games. At £429, I would have to sell a kidney, a liver, and donate something special to the fertility labs to be able to buy one at launch.




#213406 COD Ghosts Outed By E3Insider

Posted by wombateer on 30 May 2013 - 02:29 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war!

 

At least there is support from Activision. Hopefully they include Destiny. 




#241242 Next gen cryengine supports wii u

Posted by wombateer on 23 August 2013 - 10:46 AM in Wii U Hardware

They ported a half-baked version without any online multiplayer for the Wii U and called it the "definite" version.

 

Not Sniper Elite V2, but Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, that was developed on CryEngine tech.




#236158 According to GameInformer, Batman AO for Wii U will not have Online Multplayer

Posted by wombateer on 31 July 2013 - 08:07 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Gimped.

#241251 Next gen cryengine supports wii u

Posted by wombateer on 23 August 2013 - 11:04 AM in Wii U Hardware

I don't remember that coming out, but I heard the game wasn't that great anyway.

 

It never came out for Wii U. 




#214525 Ps4 or Wii U

Posted by wombateer on 02 June 2013 - 01:18 AM in Wii U Hardware

Wii U first, then save up and buy a PS4. Best of both worlds.




#235745 The Wii U can run Unity 4

Posted by wombateer on 29 July 2013 - 06:38 AM in Wii U Hardware

Is there a list of what Unity powered games are coming to Wii U?




#214551 Wii U gamepad on Wii Games

Posted by wombateer on 02 June 2013 - 04:48 AM in Wii U Hardware

I would love to be able to.play wii games off tv. Who wouldnt?

 

I'm sure an update somewhere down the line will address this. 




#239102 Shin’en Says They Are Working On Second Generation Wii U Engine

Posted by wombateer on 13 August 2013 - 10:28 PM in Wii U Hardware

Possibly they are building the Frostbite engine for Wii U, so that we can have all those lovely EA games, like Battlefront and Battlefield.

 

:angry:  




#239161 Shin’en Says They Are Working On Second Generation Wii U Engine

Posted by wombateer on 14 August 2013 - 08:35 AM in Wii U Hardware

If their (new) engine is the dogs dinner, maybe they should licence it out, to other potential Nintendo developers.




#214553 Your favorite Video Game music

Posted by wombateer on 02 June 2013 - 04:51 AM in General Gaming

The Commodore 64 music. Ocean Loader for instance.




#236805 IGN: Nintendo should look to new hardware, If Wii U doesn't pick up

Posted by wombateer on 03 August 2013 - 02:44 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I think Keza Macdonald wants the new Wii U2. Which in turn will be marketed by Bono and gang.
