Was that really just one long sentence? There's something called punctuation.... Just saying.

#172877 The Gamecube thread
Posted by naadofett on 18 February 2013 - 07:02 PM in General Gaming
I popped in Rogue Squadron 2 for the first time this weekend in years and it's awesome. Now I'm looking at my GC library and realizing I'm going to have to go back and play more... Eternal Darkness, Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil, and more. I'm really, really hoping that when the WiiU virtual console comes out they'll be able to get a bunch of these old GC games on there also. I'll already be buying Wind Waker HD when it comes out.

I dont know if these screens are representative or just tests.
But it appears to mostly keep the old geometry, redo textures, and modernize the lighting engine.
I dont think i like the way the new lighting engine makes the characters look. They look too.... 3d.
I didn't even know there was a gold edition. That being said, I do have this:

#160075 Music in the background

I agree with this. You'll be happily browsing through Miiverse, then you suddenly realise you're sat all on your own in a silent room...
It seems like such an easy fix to me. Just have the audio loop just the same way it does at the home screen. Maybe even add an option to disable the ambient sound in Miiverse, etc if you don't like it or something. But to start playing the audio and cut it off after a few minutes (or whatever the actual time is) seems really odd to me.

IR = more or less line of sight. Last I checked, IR doesn't travel through walls....
#159698 Iwata Talks Nintendo Wii U Performance and Miiverse
Posted by naadofett on 15 January 2013 - 07:59 PM in Wii U Hardware
Absolute rubbish. Tablets don't suck. They're just not good for gaming. For everything else they're far better then consoles.
I'll expand on this a little. I think tablets aren't the best avenue for "hardcore" gaming. I think gaming on tablets and/or smart phones is just fine if you're into the whole idea of a mobile experience where you can just pick up and play something "mindless" for a few minutes at a time. I think the touch-screen-only interface really hinders the gaming experience unless you buy some other peripheral, but that defeats the purpose of having the tablet/phone in my opinion. I do not think that gaming on a tablet/smart phone will ever be a substitute for gaming on a DS/3DS/Vita, etc, BUT I don't think that these devices are terrible either. You could also make counter arguments like: cameras on handheld consoles suck, the Internet experience is nowhere near what it's like on many modern smart phones/tablets, what about media playback and streaming services? Does that mean handheld consoles suck?
#152339 Question about HDMI switcher

#152333 HDMI Flickers then goes black
Posted by naadofett on 26 December 2012 - 05:55 PM in Wii U Hardware
Did you try HDMI inputs on another device? Maybe it's a handshake issue. I had an issue like that once with my PS3. If I plugged the PS3 into my Onkyo AVR (audio/video receiver for those who don't know), I would get intermittent video (video then blank screen, rinse & repeat). Then if I plugged the HDMI from the PS3 directly into the TV itself and bypassed my AVR altogether that soloved the issue completely. So, maybe this is a similar case.
This is the video I made of the problem ages ago.

I don't think what he is having is a hdmi problem since the glitches are happening to individual models .
I guess I should've watched the video first. Whoops. Well, in any case, maybe what I wrote could be helpful to others who might potentially see what I did with the PS3 before.

#150266 InterWorks Pro Controller U?
Posted by naadofett on 20 December 2012 - 07:57 PM in Wii U Hardware
It being compatible with ALL Wii and Wii U games makes it a must have for me.
Im getting Mario Galaxy 2 for x-mas, I don't wanna have to use a nunchuk and wii mote... The wii U pro controller was a huge letdown for me as its not even compatible with the NSMBU game...
The only problem is that based on my experience with Mario Galaxy 1/2, I think it would probably just be easier to use the wiimote + nunchuck, BUT I could obviously wrong seeing as there are no impressions of a game like that with this new controller.

#141624 How do u 'use/charge' your gamepad?
Posted by naadofett on 01 December 2012 - 04:47 PM in Wii U Hardware
Yea its like pouring water into a bucket with a whole in it. It will fill up but will take longer then if it didnt have a whole in it.
Also here is the nyko battery pack

Mario Kart, yes it's a karting game but still.
Wait a second, I like myself some Mario Kart, but I like sim racing in GT5 as well. Let's be fair, Mario Kart and GT5 are very different games in a very broad racing category. Mario Kart would be a much better comparison to Mod Nation Racers or something than GT5.
#140116 Noisy Disc Drive
Posted by naadofett on 28 November 2012 - 10:11 PM in Wii U Hardware
does it randomly start making a hissing noise? my wii u just did that
Not as far as I can tell. I don't think the noise I was describing is related to your issue.
I thought that was a normal thing that happens. Heck, the wii has done the same thing for years.
Usually, I only put a disc in when I want to play a game, and then eject it once I'm done playing.
You're probably right about the Wii. I suppose I could pop a disc into my Wii and see what happens with it as well. I just didn't think about it. To be honest, it's been quite a while since I actually felt compelled to play something on the Wii. The last time I turned it on was to do the system migration and there was no disc in the drive. Prior to that, I'm sure it had been at least a couple months since I used the Wii.

#137631 Digital Download Details?
Posted by naadofett on 24 November 2012 - 05:36 PM in Wii U Hardware
A couple nice things about the downloads come to mind:
1. All the games are sitting right there on the U and/or external hard drive. I'm not concerned with taking games to a friend's house to play or use on a second console at home or something.
2. Quick access to any game without having to get up and pop in a disc.
3. Not having to physically use the disc drive and listen to it spin up all the time. No, that's not a deal-breaker and completely annoying, but it would be a nice touch for me.
4. eShop discount points.
5. Download games when you feel like it.
But then there are the concerns:
1. Have to get over the "collector" aspect of my mindset that likes to see games sitting on a shelf even if I don't use them regularly.
2. Can't sell a game at a later date, but then again, being a collector I tend to not sell them at all anyway.
3. Have to hook up an external hard drive, but this doesn't bother me too much overall.
4. What if the external hard drive and/or Wii U console itself take a dump. Is there some way you'd be able to re-download the games again without being charged for it?
5. How do the digital downloads of full retail games work? You obviously download them from the eShop, but then do they show up as a new "channel" on your Wii U menu interface? I'd rather not spend $60 to experiment and find out. I'm sure others here could explain how this looks/works.

Well, 5 minutes after my first freeze, it froze again in Nintendo Land right away when I restarted the game and tried to play the coin pachinko game.
