Nintendo Wii U

[Aphex Tim]

Rayman Legends really can't come out soon enough!.. Just getting worried though as I'm down to 15 demo uses remaining (daughter is addicted to it). You'd normally think 30 would be enough but not in this case.

It's all Castle Rocks fault (or the "Bam'A'Lam song" as she likes to call it).

Your daughter has excellent taste! Used that level to show off the wii u to anyone who's come over... They've all sat therevwithbthe same goofy grin I had when I first saw it. Or indeed still have every time I play it.

Wii U is on it's way. Out of interest what are the Wii U versions of COD BLOPS 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 like?

[Jimmy Shedders]

Been playing for most of the evening and so far I love it!

Nintendoland is brilliant. I've only been playing it in 2 player at the moment but I can see just how good Mario Chase and Animal Crossing will be.

Pikmin Adventure is all kinds of awesome.

I also tried out the Rayman demo. I was grinning like a mad bastard throughout the whole of the Castle Rock level.

Story incomplete, were you in your pants?

[Jimmy Shedders]

Indeed I was, singing Ram Jam at the top of my voice.

Truly a splendid image.

Is the online in CoD fairly popular? Can you get full games?

Quite tempted to double dip!

[macosx]

Don't get it for the mp on wiiu

[scottcr]

I've not had any problems at all playing team deathmatch or domination... But you might not be as succesful in some of the other modes

[Clipper]

does cod blops 2 have an online pass or similar? i.e. can I buy a cheap used copy with same functionality?

[scottcr]

What's an online pass?

[The Mighty Ash]

It doesn't have an online pass.

I have had no problems getting full games on team deathmatch.

It's well worth double dipping. I have it on 360, but have played on the gamepad more.

oh i wont be double dipping..

I always play the new CoD. usually buying it on a cheap supermarket deal then trading it in once I rinsed the SP and tried MP after 2 weeks and losing nothing on deal.

I didnt bother this year so I might well try it out on the WiiU

[Aphex Tim]

Is anyone else tempted by Ninja Gaiden 3? I have mixed feelings toward the series but it's kind of appealing to me. What sayest the Rllmuk hive mind?

[squirtle]

It's supposed to be the best of a bad bunch.

It's a perfectly fine port. Playing on the pad is great though. Works really well.

Finally! After a few calls to Zavvi and a bit of digging by them I finally got my Wii U today Turns out it was due to a mishap at DPDs warehouse. (supposedly)

Anyway, I've got it all connected and it says 'Downloading Data for Update' on my gamepad. I know this is the system update which takes a while to download. How long did it take for most folk to get ? From what I've read it doesn't seem to matter how good your connection is, it can take a long time to get regardless.

[rgraves]

Mine took about 30 mins iirc

Mines been dispatched.

I only bothered because Team Ninja have remixed it, making it more like what the fans expected from a NG game.

Looking forward to some decapitations.

[Jimmy Shedders]

Looks like there's a ZombiU demo up on the store which wasn't there yesterday.

It'll take an awful lot to save that game. I doubt level design or boss encounters have been changed that much. Just awful.

[Jimmy Shedders]

Well, I would be downloading the ZombiU demo if the eShop would let me.

[mr_woo]

Stupid question time. How do I generally switch my picture between tv and gamepad ? For example in a game that supports it or when in the youtube app ?

[Yiggy]

Didn't know there was a demo. Is it new?

Swipe down on the screen.

[mr_woo]

Swipe down on the screen.

Thanks for that Doesn't seem to be working though (on youtube anyway). Probably doing something daft or doing it on the wrong screen though. Hopefully playing on component doesn't affect the ability in some way.

And yet we can't get it until 11pm.

Ffs Nintendo.

Ah never mind I'm being an idiot as per usual. The Youtube app on Wii U is supposed to be shite and doesn't even support videos on the pad, best advice was to use youtube on the Wii U browser which actually looks really decent.
