In Topic: U Play app for Wii U (pictures and details)

If U in Uplay stands for Ubisoft, well then What dose U stand for in Wii U? Please explane....


They explained it at E3 a few years back saying that Wii stood for "We" since the remotes and system were designed for multiple persons to enjoy games at the same time.

U stand for "You" and a refocusing of the single player experience, hence why there is only one Gamepad, which even in multiplayer settings highlights asymmetrical gameplay; a fancy word for gaming experiences where one player is having a different experience than those around them.

My wife came up with it when I was looking for something to replace my old Xbox 360 gamertag, which just happened to be Mister Cheddar. Don't ask, that one was made back in 2002 when I was back in high school!

In Topic: Which controller?

These are the controllers that have the SNES and Famicom colors as alternative options. Unfortunately, they don't come out until mid-December, so my suggestion would be to either wait to you can read reviews or just pick up an official Pro-Controller. I'm assuming this would depend on how much one is needed.


Holy crap, this is awesome! I might go ahead and get one of these, especially when I want to jump into Wii mode and play some Majora's Mask or Mega Man 9.

In Topic: What wii u colour did you buy?

I went with Deluxe Black mostly because you get extra hard drive space and Nintendo Land included. I don't expect to ever really buy digital versions of retail games since I always sell and buy used games as my way to save money, so I figure the included HDD space will be more than enough for indie games and downloadable smaller titles without having to buy an external just for the Wii U.
