Nintendo Wii U

[Fatsam]

I played Trine on my Mac. Keyboard controls were too arsey, but then I missed the precision, speed and feel of the mouse control stuff when I plugged in a pad. It's a game MADE for pointer controls. I was well disappointed when the PS3 version didn't have Move support. I think I'll download Tine 2 later.

On my new Wii U that I got yesterday! Fucking yay!!!!

Been playing loads of Nintendo Land so far. Excellent fun zipping back and forth between the single player challenges unlocking amazing shit in my land. My nephew is gong to love the Pikmin and Zelda ones. The controller is about as perfectly designed as a controller with a screen in it can be, and so ace to hold. Nintendo have the ability to mold plastic better than anyone else.

Because you have your daughter to experience it with? I'll give it a miss, cheers.

No, I'm just a closet pyro, I think.

Burning stuff is cool, but better fill a jerrycan with 13 quid of fuel at the petrol station and go into the woods.

[JPickford]

Sell?

[gizmo1990]

I think after World of Goo I'm probably irrational enough to buy Little Inferno just to support one of the guys who made it.

Madness, literally money to burn!

[JPickford]

Yes. Sell. The balloon game is wonderful but the other solo games are terrible compared to cheaper games on my iphone. My flatmate isn't into gaming and I'm not holding onto a £40 game purely for social occasions. It was disappointment! So, sell. SELL!

Sorry I was just asking about selling on Amazon? I didn't know about that.

Not liking Nintendo Land is another level of madness.

Anyone played Batman or Darksiders 2? Other releases like Sonic Racing?

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

I played Batman.

Last year.

[Super Craig]

I've played Sonic Racing and Tekken Tag 2. Both seem fine from the little I've played.

[sandman]

I played Batman.

Last year.

Yep, so did I. I meant on the Wii U

What?

[sprite]

I didn't get on with Nintendo Land either. It's good, if it's your cup of tea, and you regularly have people to play with. Gaming for me is pretty solo,

Sonic racing is awesome and I highly recommend it if you fancy it, enjoy it way more than solo mario kart. And darksiders 2 is fabulous too, gorgeous game plays really well.

Amazing.

I think I'd have paid £40 just to play Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Balloon Fight from Nintendo Land.

Just spent literally 20 mins looking at one of the levels in yoshis fruit cart trying to figure it out!!! Ended up dying on level 41.

I love Nintendoland, it's my most played game by far.

This has been out for a few weeks now but for those that missed it....

A wonderful doc exploring Zelda's history and canon while trying to put all of the pieces together. For me it was a trip down memory lane and basically a look back to my childhood memories. Lovely stuff and very well made.

Now don't hang me for this but seeing as I still have Skyward Sword to start do you guys think it's best to play that on Wii U, for the added upscaling or wouldn't that really make a difference?

Honestly never heard of that three pronged timeline, not sure if it makes sense but it's a really well done video. Be interesting to see how they do MGS

[Yoshimax]

Anyone know if you can use the game pad in wii games (on wiiU obv) as if its a wii motion plus replacement?

[Droo]

Sorry to ask a question that may have already been posed, but is there a roadmap of eShop software anywhere?

Nope.

[ryodi]

Wii mode is completely separate, when you go into it the system switches turns off the Gamepad and you can only use the Wiimote.

[Yoshimax]

Ah right thanks - figured as much. Back to eBay for another wiimote then.

From a recent press release:

But maybe nintendo life ones is better: http://www.nintendolife.com/wiiu-eshop/games/soon

[noob]

anyone getting errors in miiverse?

getting it intermittently saying 'error 109xxxx' or something... or saying its not connected to the internet yet it (moments before) downloaded an update?

[Not Thread Owner]

I get it sometimes. I bet it's busy servers or something.

Completed Little Inferno. The ending was full of wtf.

[Yiggy]

Don't know about you but there are a few on there I'm quite exited about.

Lego

Scriblenauts

Colonial Marines

Pikmin 3

Monster Hunter

If I can fill the gaps with a few eshop titles and play what I have that won't be a bad 4 months.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Seems my wallet is safe until easter at least.

[SweatyTravolta]

So I downloaded the latest system update and it took over an hour. Began installing the thing and an error occurred, so now it's downloading the update again. What a joke this is.

How do people download in the background? I'd quite like to play Mario while I deal with Nintendo's ineptitude.

[Not Thread Owner]

The most recent update just downloaded in the background by itself for me, while my console was off. I didn't do anything.

[Not Thread Owner]

I've already completed it on the 3DS, but I got it again anyway

[Not Thread Owner]

Does it? Are more unlocked after the first 15?
