Nintendo Wii U

Yeah its just the eshop. Wouldn't be surprised if it's because it's based in german. The country which gave games green blood and yet loves its hardcore porn.

Then the least they could do is put some hardcore porn on the eShop.

[JPickford]

Why isn't CoD on the eshop? Is that because of German laws? If there are stupid restrictions on games in te eshop because of that, then get the FUCK out of Germany Nintendo!

That's the German "Don't mention the war" law. I saw it in a documentary about a Torquay hotel where they had some over sensitive German guests.

On the subject of Nintendo Germany, I sent them a mail asking why there are large parts of Europe with no Club Nintendo. I choose Germany as that is their European HQ. 4 days later I got a reply saying I should contact my regional Nintendo distributor. In Finland. Despite me clearly writing I'm in Denmark.

And the reason I didn't contact the Scandinavian distributor is that the reason they ditched Club Nintendo years ago, was that it costs 0.05 £ per game for them to run. And point one on their FAQ is 'no, Club Nintendo is NOT coming back!'. How they can justify this shit I do not know.

So for me, Nintendo is massive failure regarding anything that hasn't got to do with games directly.

Same difference.

I wish!

Am I the only person who thinks the actual multiplayer function of Xbox live is totally shit? Playing with strangers who shout abuse at me? Fuck that shit.

I've just never seen the appeal. To date the only type of actual multiplayer I enjoy is online co-op. RED ALERT 2 styleee. But, running around killing people in a big confined playground shooting each other with no story?

Pointless.

Then again that's just me. 80s gamer FTW.

Just a shame you can't collect from store. What sort of idiocy are they playing at by not at least having some games in the shops?

I'm exactly the same. Spending an evening playing online FPS seems like a huge waste of time to me. You're in a lobby, it's taking forever. Finally you get into the level. You shoot people and people shoot you. You return to the lobby with a score and a ranking. Rinse and repeat. I find it boring as hell. The worst thing is that most people who are still online after the first few days know the maps by heart and have had so much practice, that you're lucky if you can get a few kills in in the first place.

I do have a fiver credit though... Nice

[Clipper]

So you all missed quake/quake2 multiplayer back in the day

[Ketchup]

Lovefilm app is updating now!!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

No. I played Quake, Unreal Tournament, Rise of the Triad and Return to Castle Wolvenstein in the old day.

My favourite online shooter ever is still Operation Flashpoint though. And I liked the Terrorist Hunt mode in Rainbow Six 3 on the old Xbox.

[Ketchup]

The lovefilm app works pretty well. Switching screens has a 2-3 second delay but apart from that it loads quickly and smoothly and you can play videos on the gamepad. One minor issue is you can't stretch or zoom the screen, so 4:3 programs are 4:3 on the gamepad.

[Harsin]

It's a shame that when you buy an Xbox, PS3 or gaming PC a man in a smock comes to your house and surgically grafts a headset to your skull. I think it probably costs them sales.

Have you linked it with Club Nintendo?

You get a fiver for every 50 quid you spend by the looks of it.

Not bad..

[Yiggy]

Well I guess it make a full download game slightly more acceptable for the next year. £45 instead of £50 for example.

I'm in and it links to my mii etc. So it can't be that much more to get an online portal up for miiverse.

[Hitcher]

Have you linked it with Club Nintendo?

Yes.

[sprite]

Yes.

Same issue here.

[Ketchup]

Maybe this is why you can't get in.

Yep, it's fucked.

[Hitcher]

On Club Nintendo I've got 2950 stars but they can't be used for Nintendo points for the Wii U.

Please note: Nintendo Points can only be used in the Nintendo DSi Shop and Wii Shop Channel, and cannot be used in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo eShop on Wii U

Maybe this is why you can't get in.

What downloadable software or add-on content? And it's more than 24 hours since I set everything up.

[Chooch]

You need to have bought something. I've 420 points thanks to amazon giving me a Nintendo land download code

Funnily i bought a few games. Perhaps 20. I played one more than 10 times. The others i certainly wouldn't have purchased had there been a demo available. Actually two games i played more than 10 times (toki tori and World of Goo). The problem with the wii shop wasn't the lack of demos or them only being usable 10 times, the problem was the games weren't very good.

I have 33 WiiWare titles, and 38 Wii VC games.

The problem with the Wii shop was that 99% of Wii owners didn't have a clue it was even there. And, IIRC, the fact that devs who got a game on there only saw any money if they sold over 40,000 copies of their game - which most didn't, as 99% of Wii owners didn't have a clue it was even there.

It's not really surprising it fizzled out.
