Wii U Weak WiFi reception relative to Wii

06 September 2013 - 05:25 PM

I've been having this problem for a while. I used a Wi-Fi repeater/extender but it drops intermittently and I just got sick of it eventually.

Are all Wii U's like this? I have my Wii right beside it (Its fully off, so I know theres no interferance) and I can easily watch netflix all day without it dropping. Without my Wi-Fi extender I'm lucky if the Wii U even get on netflix, assuming the extender doesn't drop me mid view. All my other devices work fine at the location where I put my Wii U.

I'm starting to think if I should take it to Nintendo to address the issue. Does anyone feel like the Wii U's wifi reciever just sucks, or is it just me?

 


Cost of making games

23 March 2013 - 06:56 AM

Hi forum go-ers!

I was finished Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) the other day and I noticed on the credits it was basically 10 core people who made the game.

It made me think. Now adays it takes a team of more than 100 core people to make a game, maybe 2-8 years depending on staff and ambition but costs in the order of hundred million dollars to make full use of todays consol hardware. With the new step up in consol hardware do you think it will cost even more to make games that take full advantage of the hardware?

Also, do you think the market is big enough to support these new super-games? I mean it takes like a million copies just to break even when making games that use full advantage of the system. If theres only 3 million fishes in the sea and only 1 million that take your bait well, would it be worth it to still keep fishing? 

I personally think if there are less hardcore gamers in this next generation we might just see cost cutting measures in development and thus very few games will actually use what the next gen consols and pc's are capable of. When you really think about it, the best looking games are the big titles with long lineages (Battlefield, CoD, Elder Scrolls, Zelda). 

Some notes: By full advantage I mean make full use of the available power. So most Indie games don't (well they don't have the staff or money) take full advantage of the potential of the system.


3rd Party Pad Battery

22 March 2013 - 06:23 PM

Hey Wii U forums a while ago I read Nyko has a battery that had a higher capacity (~8hrs) and it was not an physicall add on, just a battery replacement.

I can't seem to find it now anywhere. Is it still not out yet?

Thanks


Your dental routine

01 February 2013 - 04:45 AM

Hi Forum go-ers, I was just wondering what how you take care of your teeth and what your routine is.

I for one brush everyday for about 5min. I find the smallest toothbrush head you can find works the best. Alwase brush the inside of the teeth and special attention to my wisdom teeth as they grew out with no problem but food gets stuck easily there.

About once every 3 days I actually brush my tongue. I notice its better to put toothpaste on your tonge than on the brush its self. Mouthwash about every 3 days as well. I never floss and I have never had a problem in my opinion with flossing.

I tried crest teeth whitener strips, but they made my teeth unbaribly sensative to temperature. They do work though!

I haven't had a cavity for 11 years, although this is my most recent routine. Before I just brush everyday and also brush my tongue once in a while. I only started using mouthwash recently. I do change my tooth brush about once every 3 months as the bristles bends outwards after a while, which I believe pretty much makes the toothbrush useless for getting into small crevices of your teeth.

Virtual Consol multiplatform cloud save

24 January 2013 - 11:15 PM

Wouldn't it be great if multiplatform (ie. Wii U/3DS) Virtual Consol games had a cloud save service so when you go catch the bus you can continue playing the game on your 3DS. I think this would be a realy unique service only Nintendo can do with Virtual Consol.

Also a discount price/free download (arguable) on the 3ds with virtual consol games you aready own would be nice.
