#214262 Do not click this!

Posted by doxysmeow on 01 June 2013 - 12:23 PM in Introduction Central

It was meant for you not to click!

 

Ok, fine. I'll introduce myself.

 

Hello, my name's Wilson Marco(I prefer Marco, though). I am currently 16 years old, and a huge Zelda fan. (I also love physics, math and chemistry)

 

I've been a Nintendo fan since I was a little kid, when I was playing Pokémon Stadium 2 on my (still working)N64. My first system was a purple GAME BOY COLOR my mom gave me in a trip to Mexico. My first game for it was Pokémon Blue. I was fascinated by the idea of having a Pokémon in my hands, and was a Pokémon-addicted kid until 5 years ago. In one of the many trips I've made to the US, my sister bought The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap for the GBA. I borrowed(sshhh, she doesn't have to know) it from her and since then, I'm a huge TLoZ fan. I've beaten 8-9 Zelda games so far, and I'm still trying to get past the first one's 6th dungeon. I hope Miyamoto gifts us with a Wii U Zelda this year(not Wind Waker's remake...).

 

I would list the Nintendo devices I own, but I'm too lazy to do so. Yeah.

#214748 Wii U and my TV

Posted by doxysmeow on 02 June 2013 - 12:40 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but you'll see why I think it is in a bit.

 

TV Model: UN40D5000PG (40" LED Samsung TV Series 5)

                         |

  HDMI Cable that came in the Wii U box

                         |

Wii U: Wii U Deluxe Set (Black 32GB Console)

 

That's how I have it connected.

 

Still I've been having problems with aliasing. I first thought the TV was the problem, so I messed with it's settings a bit to see what would look better. After several tests, and choosing what looked better, I still had the feeling I was looking at a Wii. It felt like I had the Gamepad resolution scaled up to fit my screen. Then I thought "maybe it's just the Menu, let's look at a game" and tried Nintendo Land, SEGA's racing game demo, ZombiU demo, RE: Revelations demo and MH3 demo. Revelations looked awful, Nintendo Land, All Stars Racing Transformed and ZombiU got a lot of aliasing, and even with a bit of aliasing, MH3 looked the best. I've tested the Digital Noise Correction settings in the TV and still no progress. Tested using another cable and another TV(this time, a Samsung P2470HN), but got even worse image on the other TV, so I sticked with the 40" with Nintendo's HDMI Cable.

 

I really don't know what to do, now, and if it's the Wii U's fault, I wonder if there's any way to turn on anti-aliasing either on the console or the television.

 

Anyone know what to do or is dealing with the same problem?

 

tl;dr: Aliasing on the Wii U. What to do?

 

 

EDIT:

 

I think I found the best Wii U configuration for my TV. For the people that experience the same problem with a Samsung TV, here's what I did:

 

  1. Connect the Wii U through HDMI in the HDMI/DVI 1 port. (This didn't work for the other HDMI slots)
  2. Grab the TV controller and tap SOURCE.
  3. Highlighting the HDMI/DVI 1 device, tap TOOLS.
  4. Select Edit Name.
  5. Choose PC(I've tested the others, the one that looked the best, for me, was PC. I suggest you try the others to see what looks better for you, though)

This didn't get rid of the jaggy lines(aliasing), but it REALLY improved my Wii U experience.

 

Hope this helped someone.




#215250 USB HDD Disconnecting?

Posted by doxysmeow on 03 June 2013 - 02:56 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

Power miser – My Book external drives are designed to save energy. WD GreenPower Technology™ lowers internal drive power consumption by up to 30%, a sleep mode reduces power during idle times, and a power-saving feature turns the drive on and off with your computer.

 

I think it has to do with this. The Wii U might not behave as a computer and by lowering the power, the console "thinks" the drive is not there. (I'm not sure, but that's what I think)

 

Read this.




#215259 hope can help me again is the noise

Posted by doxysmeow on 03 June 2013 - 03:13 PM in Wii U Hardware Help

Mi Wii U también hace ruido a cargar los discos, sobre todo cuando vuelva al Wii U Menu. Pero mientras juego Nintendo Land, no lo escucho. (I don't know if I got that right. I'm brazilian, so not even my english is perfect.)

 

English: My Wii U also makes noise when loading the discs, specially when I get back to the Wii U Menu. But I hear nothing of it when I'm playing Nintendo Land.




#215591 USB HDD Disconnecting?

Posted by doxysmeow on 04 June 2013 - 11:13 AM in Wii U Hardware Help

Yep. This is exactly what I was thinking, and it looks to be confirmed. Well, then it looks as though this drive is not compatible with the Wii U. Anyone else looking to buy an external HDD should stay away from this one.

 

Now to see if I can get the store to let me exchange it. They probably won't, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

 

If the store doesn't let you exchange it(what I undoubtedly think they will), it still sounds like a great external HDD for your computer. But I wonder why you guys get 2TB of memory for the Wii U...

 

I got a Premium Set, and I think that means I have 25GB of space for games and savegames(the rest is "eaten" by the system). Nintendo Land is about 2.5GB, while NSMBU may be around 3GB. I don't think there are going to be enormously big games to get 25GB total from the disc, but if I'm wrong, I still have a 250GB external HDD that'd let me store 10 games of that kind.

 

I'm mostly a Virtual Console fan, rather than getting retail games from the eShop(that didn't even launch in Brazil). But let's see.




#216790 Super Smash Bros. 4 Discussion Thread

Posted by doxysmeow on 06 June 2013 - 06:37 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I wonder if this is going to be for both the 3DS and Wii U. (Yes, I know almost nothing about SSB 4)

If it is, I hope the two versions are connected through multiplayer(like Portal 2, if I remember correctly, with PC and PS3).

If not, I would love to see Super Smash Bros. on the 3DS.



#217999 Are you watching Sony's E3?

Posted by doxysmeow on 09 June 2013 - 09:31 PM in E3 2013 Archive

I'm interested just because the 2011 Sony Conference intro was really awesome.

 

I'll most likely just take a look and read what went on later.




#218009 Pokemon X & Y Thread

Posted by doxysmeow on 09 June 2013 - 09:53 PM in E3 2013 Archive

Echo type is just as stupid as Normal. I don't see how a pokémon can be "normal". If it's true, I am not buying a Pokémon game anymore.

 

Let's imagine a Slaking fighting a Makuhita. The Makuhita punches poor Slaking to death, because it is normal and can't just sit on the other pokémon.

 

About the Fairy one, if it turns to Light type, it should just be related to Dark, not Poison...




#218633 Pokemon X & Y Thread

Posted by doxysmeow on 10 June 2013 - 03:53 PM in E3 2013 Archive

^ You are going to boycott pokemon games because it introduces new battling elements? You are afraid of doing over your good old move set you never had to touch? Or simply because of something trivial such as a NAME? "NORMAL" type as been around since day 1 and design a pokémon with no particular typing affiliation. Come on.

 

I am not going to boycott Pokémon games because of new battling types. I'd do so because I didn't like Black and White, Black 2 or White 2. Those versions were simply crap, IMO. If they're going to walk the same path with X and Y, I don't see any reason for me to get another Pokémon game anymore.

 

About move set... I don't really play strategically(besides the types comparison). What made me like Pokémon, when I first played Blue, was I could name my pokémon and train them to reach higher levels. It was fun to know about the types and their weaknesses, but that's about it. When IVs, EVs, PokéRus, Natures and more relevant abilities appeared, I just kept with my old "attack-based" style. That's why I don't play against other trainers anymore. I have a friend that doesn't care if it's a Gyarados if it isn't Adamant, and some other training-related data. Doesn't feel like Pokémon anymore, just a card game or whatever.

 

 

Finally, everybody who gives crap about names is being stupid. These changes are here to bring more dynamics and probably to reduce the sheer amount of "Normal" type pokemons. I, for one, welcome, with open arms, this change.

 

If a pokémon is to be type Echo for making noise, like Loudred, Slaking should be Sleepy/Dream type. It doesn't make much sense if it's about how loud one can scream.

 

You fail to see the link right?

Poison operates in the background to do damage and it's very sly but not necessarily in the darkness: they can also operate in the broad daylight. Now, the Fairy/Light type is somewhat the opposite: sociable (being on the foregound if we can say that) and honest.

Dark pokemons are pokemon that loves the night. Like Ghost pokemon, they are mischievious but also very careful. They do not want to attract attention and want to do their move as fast and silent as possible. Fairies/light is just the general opposite and just doesn't want to harm other pokemon in the first place. They also want to be kind.

 

Dark and Poison BOTH relate to Fairy/Light type. Period.

 

I don't get why Poison pokémon need to be sly. They're poisonous, doesn't mean they want to cause you harm or fool you(like Gengar does, to play with Ash in the series). Their poison is, compared to real life, more likely to be used for protection(ok, this is Pokémon and they'll be fighting, but doesn't change the fact) than to attack other creatures. It's not like they're trying to hide their poison, but using it as a threat, IMHO.




#219905 Possible Zelda U art style leak in SSB4 trailer

Posted by doxysmeow on 11 June 2013 - 03:53 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm more certain now that were looking at the artstyle of Zelda u. Why wouldn't they coordinate the wii u smash bros with the wii u games?

 

I don't think Super Smash Bros. Melee's Link look like Toon Link, from Wind Waker, or the one from Twilight Princess.

 

They don't need to. They probably don't feel like it, or are just lazy to do the same character.
