Maybe they got scared all of a sudden that Wii U is going to blow up after games like SM3DW and they're going to look like fools for calling it a bad gift

Shokio's my boy, agree with him on practically everything

 

 

...

 

 

 

Except how he doesn't want Ridley in Smash :/

Pretty funny!  

Hi all this is to help all of you that are trying to watch youtube vids in the internet browser and getting the error this video is not available on this device 

 

1 Go to setting in the internet browser

2 click on switch user agent click OK

3 click on internet explorer

 

Videos should play   

 

there are a few bugs that I have found one is that the next video you try to play is the last one just click on the reload page tab and that should fix that ... one last thing should some of the pages not be displayed correctly so you may have to keep changing back to the old setting

hope that helps

GTA on Wii U would have made barely any difference. If you play games like that you'll likely have an Xbox and play it on that anyway.

Nintendo need exclusive games that make their platform attractive.

 

 

i just disagree.... i mean marketing a console or selling people on the fact that this console is a core console yes at least GTA V could show the consumer you are taking the western market and core market seriously. like i can give you direct quotes from Iwata saying they will focus on the core gamer with Wii U. again i love my Wii U and going to enjoy the great library of games coming to it. i just get disturbed a little by how nintendo faithful( im one of them) are against holding them accountable for a horrible launch, non exsistent marketing, and non ability to convey what the Wii U is capable of.  

I would agree with you, if you were talking about Sony or Microsoft, heck even EA or Ubisoft, or any other company in the world. But this is Nintendo we're talking about. They're different.

 

Yes, it's all about money, but it's very often to see Nintendo doing a two 180's in a single day, with an "unorthodoxed" way of doing it.

 

They're different, yet the same. They're doing the exact same thing other companies do, even if the other companies don't do it quite as suddenly.

 

Nintendo is no different just because they're Nintendo.

Looks sick! I hope there will be an English version.

Settlers of the Moon sounds pretty fun to me especially if you make use of the GamePad for it.

Cod A HARDCORE GAME??? HAHAHAHAHA BEST JOKE EVER!!!

 

Eh, not much is shown in the video so not too sure, although i did enjoy rainbow 6.

I honestly doubt Nintendo asked anyone what the hardware should be in the Wii U.

Likely when they said they asked developers what they wanted, they meant what developers were complaining to them about during the reign of the Wii.
To support my theory, I offer the eShop's lack of restrictions.

Why did you skip Wii U since it seems like most of Capcom’s games are on all platforms like DuckTales Remastered or Dungeons & Dragons.
 
"I don’t necessarily make all of the platform decisions. We try to match the right platform to the right title. Sometimes that’s purely a strategy decision. Sometimes it has to do with technology. Sometimes it has to do with the expertise of any given developer. For this game, we started out on PS3, 360, and PC. As we got more information and actual hardware from next-gen, we saw we would be able to leverage those. Given our release timing is soon after launch we decided that would be a good way to bring it to even more people and add in more bells and whistles."

 
Notice how i put Quotation marks in explains because they never even mentioned why it isn't coming to the Wii U -_-

Yeah, I saw this before. It's very interesting that a Sony guy said this, I wonder if he realised partway through saying it that it was applicable to a rival console?

 

He probably thought to himself "nah, don't worry, nobody will notice anyway."

Yeaaah, that didn't work out for him, did it?

NINTENDO WII U DELUXE REVIEW

When the Wii U was released at the end of 2012, people complained that its interface was very, very slow and that there where not enough games for the system.

I just picked up my system, June 2013,  and that was after Nintendo had released a patch to speed up its interface.  I am happy to say that I have no complaints with regard to the time it takes to boot up and switch between applications.

One thing to note is that once get the Wii U - set it up, and connect to the internet via WiFi, there is BIG DAY ONE UPDATE that needs to be installed ... expect to wait over an hour before this update is complete.

THE HARDWARE

I got the Deluxe Model which is Black, has 32 GB  internal memory, and comes with the game Nintendo Land, a charging dock for the Wii U Game Pad, and a cradle for the Wii U Game Pad as well.  It cost $350.00,  The basic set, which is white,  costs $300.00 and does not come with a game or the cradle or charging dock for the Wii U Game Pad.  Both models come with an HDMI cord - this is a first for a Nintendo System - HD gaming.

Both models have 4 USB ports and an SD card slot.  Both models can use a USB external hard drive which has a plug (its own power source).

The Wii U is backwards compatible with the Wii ... any game you purchased on the Wii will work on the Wii U, retail or digital (you can transfer all of you content from the Wii to the Wii U and any games that are not currently on your Wii but you purchased digitally, can be downloaded to the Wii U.  All of the controllers for the Wii are compatible with the Wii U.

The Game Pad 

The game pad has a nice large touch screen on it, a stylus, dual analog sticks, a set of left and right shoulder buttons (Top L / R and lower Rz / Lz) , a D pad, a tv button (the pad can be used as remote control for you TV), a power button and a,b,x, and y buttons, in addition to headphone jack,  a camera (facing you), a microphone, two speakers, an accessory jack, and a charging jack, there is also some type of Near Contact Reader on it as well but no games support that at the moment.  I believe it will be used to read information from cards or toys.

This is the most comfortable game pad I have ever used and I have been gaming since the days of Pong!  It is not as heavy as you think it might be, its actually quite light.   It is not a gimmick, it is an awesome and comfortable tool with no discernible lag between what you see on the pad and your TV.

So what can you do with it?  You can play a game on (most games I have) while someone else uses the TV for something else.  This is really a joy !!!  It is also used a second screen within games .... for example, a character within a  game calls you and the see the simulated video call on your pad.  You may have a differnt perspective as others do while playing a muli-player game (one perspective on the TV another on the Pad).  Instead of split screen, one person can see their perspective on the TV and you see yours on the pad.  It can be used to manage your inventory in a game ... the possibilities of its uses are endless and exciting really.

The Game Pads Battery Life

 Here is where a negative comes in but is easily corrected ..... I get about 2-3 hours of gaming off of a full charge with its screen set the highest brightness.  That is a short time (especially if you forget to charge in between gaming sessions) so to compensate for this I picked up a Niko Power Pak Battery for it (internal battery @ $20.00) and now I get about 10 hours of battery life without adding much weight at all to it.

The internet browser

The internet browser is 1,0000 x better than I expected and has become my go to browser ... what a surprise !!!

External Hard Drive

I connected an external hard drive to the system to expand its memory and it works like a charm .... allowing me to download games instead of getting retail packaged games.  This is a great optional feature.  It runs smooth and there is no difference when playing a game that is on the external drive or internal drive in terms of lag or anything.  When you turn on or off the Wii U System, it automatically turns on and off the External Hard Drive ( Nice Touch ! )  BE WARNED, once you hook up your external drive and use it for the system, it will erase the drives content and it will only be able to be used with the system ... sure you can reformat it to work with your PC again, but then you will lose all the Nintendo content on it and vise versa.

Video Chat

 You can video chat with your Miiverse friends using the Wii U Control Pads camera which faces you and microphone.  The chat service is through Nintendo and not Skype or anything like that.

Miiverse

this is an online community and I enjoy it for several reasons .... you create a Mii (a graphic representation of yourself) and others do too, then you add them to your friends list and can video chat with them or send them notes.  While playing a game you can pause the game, then post to that games community, you can attach an in game screen shot (at the point where you paused the game) and add a comment too that everyone in the community can see ... a neat feature.  Unlike other gaming communities there are no curse words or people talking about your mother and such .... these types of comments do not make it to the community ... it is policed .. and that is refreshing really.

Games

No one makes a better platformer or action adventure game than Nintendo (Super Mario & Zelda games) (and I also own the PS3 and PS Vita).  Currently I am enjoying Super Mario Brothers Wii U, Luigi Wii U, Super Mario World (SNES Virtual Console Download), Bit Trip Runner 2, Toki Tori 2, Nano Assault Neo, Trine 2, Zen Pinball 2, and Mutant Mudds Deluxe, and Lego City Undercover ... All of these games are enjoyable ... and you simply will not find a Mario game on any other system!  Great games are headed to the Wii U Very Soon - Super Mario World 3D, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart Wii U and Smash Brothers.  In the distant future there will be a brand new Wii U Zelda Game, until then, Nintendo is releasing Wind Waker HD, a revamped Game Cube Game - but I never really cared for that particular title in the series.

3rd Party Software Support

Currently, there is not much 3rd Party Support for the Wii U ... to be honest, that does not bother me at all, I get Nintendo Systems for their 1st Party Games ... For example ... Black Ops 2 is out for the Wii U and the PS3 ... if I wanted it, I would just get it for the PS3.  

Conclusion - 9 out of 10 - Overall this really is a great system and is much better than I thought it would be, its family friendly, has great graphics, and its just downright fun fun fun ... I took away one point for the battery life of the Wii U pad, but that is very  easily corrected with a NYKO replacement extended life battery.   Great games for this system on the way so if you considered picking it up - DO SO, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  In my opinion, it is the best system Nintendo has released since the SNES
