#148955 Darksiders 2

Posted by Nintendo on 17 December 2012 - 02:48 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I was wondering the same :)



#148522 Wii U is in a precarious position

Posted by Nintendo on 16 December 2012 - 08:12 AM in Wii U Hardware

Actually Nintendo I think is safe this time because it set itself apart from both Microsoft and Sonys Consoles.

The new Playstation and Xbox will be very similar with their approach to gaming(that is going for horsepower) opposed to the Wii U's innovation with the gamepad. It's such a difference experience where it's worth getting even if you own an xbox/ps3.

Sony this time around is going be in the most trouble as they are already in financial trouble and on top of that have to compete with Microsofts when they both launch.

The Wii U has at least a year head start with the upcoming consoles. Who knows, we might not get one or both of the next gen consoles until 2014?

So before the next two consoles even come out, you can expect to see a $50 price drop on both versions of the console in 2013 sometime(most likely fall/holiday time). This will make the basic 250 and the delux 300.

The Wii launched at a $250 price rang and that seemed to be the sweet spot. Microsoft and Sonys new console will be at a higher price where the casual consumer would rather get the Wii U.

If you have noticed there isn't much marketing for the Wii U. My idea on this is there's no need for it since there isn't any competition and the systems price point is at its highest since it just launched. Why spend all that money now? I believe Nintendo is waiting for the games and maybe a price drop and you can guarantee to see the Wii U marketed all over with commercials and what not before the next two consoles come out.

On top of all this, Nintendos 1st part titles are easily system sellers and have always carried Nintendo through any tough times.

I think Nintendo is safe. ;)

Agreed.
As long as developers manage to carry on cominng up with good uses of the gamepad. More and more will try and jump in on the trend.

highly doubt that's him.



#141080 Nintendo Wii U Setup

Posted by Nintendo on 30 November 2012 - 02:56 PM in Wii U Hardware

I'm only on like 4MB internet though, so that's why.

Regarding your signature sour apple, can't you just accept the friend request without having to type in his name to accept?



#141057 Nintendo Wii U Setup

Posted by Nintendo on 30 November 2012 - 02:20 PM in Wii U Hardware

Looking forward to the updates, haha.



#139301 Uk Wii U Update

Posted by Nintendo on 27 November 2012 - 03:10 PM in Wii U Hardware

You'll definitely be able to on the 30th, Nintendo may open them on the 29th or something if you're lucky.



#139162 Anyone else Pre Order from HMV in UK?

Posted by Nintendo on 27 November 2012 - 01:01 PM in Wii U Hardware

Haven't ordered off HMV, I've experienced enough of their 'rip-offs' ;)



#139102 Wii Mini

http://www.eggplante...-mini-announce/

It's been announced, but exclusively for Canada?!



#138456 NintendoLand DLC

Posted by Nintendo on 26 November 2012 - 11:55 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I say make a new Pokemon Snap as it's own E Shop title.

Yeah, that would be cool as well.



#138454 Why was my drawing deleted by an admin?

Posted by Nintendo on 26 November 2012 - 11:54 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nice picture by the way.
Although it might sound ridiculous, I think what Noonabites said is the best bet. Nintendo are going out of there way to try and achieve a user friendly Miiverse... too user friendly, some might argue.



#138388 NintendoLand DLC

Posted by Nintendo on 26 November 2012 - 09:15 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Not excitebike, that would be awful.
Maybe one like Pokemon Snap 64, that would be so cool.
Enhanced graphics on that bad boy, wouldn't leave the house for days.



#138370 Youtube+Headphones

Posted by Nintendo on 26 November 2012 - 07:49 AM in Wii U Games and Software

If you have a PS3, it's the exact same YouTube app as on there. Not really much of a UI, just kinda scroll around looking through your subscriptions and popular vids and stuff. When you pick a video the info shows up on the GamePad, but you can't watch on there.

It sounds quite good. I don't have a PS3, so that sounds amazing to me. I wouldn't watch it on my gamepad anyway, so that wouldn't really bother me.



#137999 Gamepad screen busted, Nintendo won't fix it for free

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 11:07 AM in Wii U Hardware

Well, of course I am responsible. That's not the point. I was just shocked at how easily the thing busted. Never broke a touchscreen in my life.

Anyway, since typing this out, and speaking on the phone to reps for about an hour, they decided to cover the damage because it is a new console and because I wasn't a total ass (i'm assuming). Also noted that this is the very first repair instance of a wiiu yet in North America. I guess that's kinda cool a weird backwards way!

All's well that ends well right?

Well, I'm glad that you didn't have to pay. Nice customer service.



#137951 Gamepad screen busted, Nintendo won't fix it for free

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 09:57 AM in Wii U Hardware

Proof is in the pudding - its not inaccurate , its just that every situation is different. I know people who dropped cell phones, gameboys etc once and busted it - my gameboys and cell phones have fallen so many times on concrete its not even funny - yet nothing ever broke.

Well, it's inaccurate to rely on - if someone can drop it 5 ft onto concrete and not break it, yet someone can drop is 2 inches on carpet and break it.



#137903 Gamepad screen busted, Nintendo won't fix it for free

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 09:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

Wow, that drop test was pretty inaccurate then ;)



#137888 CNN interviews Reggie Fils Aime.

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 08:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

Hahaha, Reggie's such a beast.



#137882 Zombie U e3 vs now

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 07:53 AM in Wii U Games and Software

The ability to create better graphics will always progress.



#137870 Youtube+Headphones

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 07:12 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Use the Internet browser to use YouTube, the app is kinda poopy. Then at least you can watch stuff on the GamePad, or even play it on the tv while you browse other pages on the gamepads. Pretty awesome.

Damn, why's the app bad?



#137845 Are you getting a gamepad case/wallet?

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 06:06 AM in Wii U Hardware

Ye I've just bought 1. Like i say, just for keeping dust off in the cupboard..plus I have a 1yr old and a 3yr old..keeps their little mitts off it :)

Yeah, good idea. awh :)



#137842 Are you getting a gamepad case/wallet?

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 05:53 AM in Wii U Hardware

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5aeb61b6f2

thats a cool 1 for keeping it in

Haha, wow. That's suprisingly cheap as well.



#137835 Are you getting a gamepad case/wallet?

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 05:30 AM in Wii U Hardware

Most of the cases I've seen don't look very nice, in my opinion. I guess I'll just be very careful with it.



#137833 What Nintendo has to say about Wii U specs.....

Posted by Nintendo on 25 November 2012 - 05:27 AM in Wii U Hardware

I guess Nintendo released Wii U knowing this would happen. Gritting their teeth as they tried to take the good graphics route. It's all good gameplay for them now, again.



#137335 Game help?

Posted by Nintendo on 24 November 2012 - 07:23 AM in Wii U Games and Software

When I get my Wii U, I'm going straight on Dark Siders II :)



#137294 Game help?

Posted by Nintendo on 24 November 2012 - 05:54 AM in Wii U Games and Software

why not darksiders 2?



#137275 Zombie U 2 wishlist....

Posted by Nintendo on 24 November 2012 - 02:57 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Zombies are meant to be dumb. So asking for smarter ai makes then less zombie like. I think that's what he means.

Anyway
1 more creative puzzles
2 make zombies more deadly
3 more melee weapon variety
4 set it in blackpool england (where I live)
5 more melee weapon combat actions.
6 better graphics of course.
7 more creative uses of the gamepad.


Yeah, but they're meant to come to you, and run and stuff like that.
