Nintendo Wii U

[scottcr]

If you plan some multiplayer sonic or ZombiU or cod, you'll be wanting a pro controller as well

[Yiggy]

Both those games work with a wiimote and nun chuck though I think. Sonic just needs a horizontally held wiimote.

I recommend premium pack + Zombie U and NSMBU then Lego and Monster Hunter at end of month. IF you will be playing local multiplayer nintendoland or NSMBU then you need at least 1 wiimote. If not two. That adds to the cost unfortunately.

Oh and no nun chuck means no metroid on nintendoland and IMO its one of the best things on there with at least two of you.

Then be sure to add is all as friends as we're a good bunch!

Remember the pro controller has no speakers, no waggle/tilt functions, no rumble and no mics so the games it can be used with are limited compared to a normal Wiimote.

[SMD]

The Pro Controller has no rumble why?

[Massive Invisible Dog]

It does.

[Yiggy]

You only need the pro pad if you want it for a specific game and then it has to be compatible.

Unless you're Richie Rich its an easy thing to save money on.

Don't think I've used the pro-controller once yet.. First time will probably be for MHU.. If the gamepad is as pointless as its sounding.

The customisable screen with touch screen inventory sounds pretty useful in MH to me!

[Yewone]

Didn't I see mention that touchscreen inventory isn't enabled in Monster Hunter?

[Red Alignment]

The Pro controller's OK, just a bit... Cheap feeling, really. Not very Nintendo-y IMO.

Presumably this isn't in the demo version. I can't find how to do it, anyway.

[Larsen B]

You did, erroneously.

Whilst deKay is right and customising the touchscreen isn't in the demo, touchscreen inventory use is. Just remember to have your weapon sheathed.

[Yewone]

Ahh in that case the Pro-controller may gather dust for a little while longer

Well. Assassin's Creed III is a crashy pile of shit.

Well. Assassin's Creed III is a crashy pile of shit.

It is on every console. A big shiny turd spattered onto a disc.

[Yiggy]

Is there anything at all out till the end of March with MH3U and Lego? Are there even any download games due?

Runner 2 on the 26th. (Feb)

Buy it and make love to it.

I've only played it for 45 minutes and its locked up the console twice.

I got about 10 hours into it and never had a console lock up or crash, but tbh I think you were the luckier one.

[Not Thread Owner]

I don't know - I'm having to play bits again.

This is probably for the ACIII thread, but thar be spoilers so I won't go there. I'm not really sold on the first hour of the game being mostly set on that boat. I kept thinking we were going to run into Jack Sparrow or something.

£225 premium back in stock at Zavvi, if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the headsup!!!!!

my £10 copy also just arrived. Ah well, will see how i get on, have never played any of the games.

Positive thoughts:

UI, after understanding how it works, looks and feels lovely. Truly gamey.

Controller feels as fresh, unique and awesome as every Nintendo controller before it. I wasn't expecting this at all, personally. A controller with a tablet screen, how different could feel from what I'm imagining?

Nintendo Land, in the brief 20minutes I gave it, is charming and totally my thing, despite being mini-games. Oozes Nintendo.

It'll have Mario and Zelda on it.

Edit: The quality of the screen despite the supposed low resolution is remarkable. The sound on the thing is out of this world, why can't our 3DS' be this loud?!

[NEG]

Its perfectly normal spending an hour just browsing Miiverse posts, right?

[scottcr]

MiiVerse is best verse

I've racked up 150 hours on it already.

NDF! NDF!

If NEG is NDF it must stand for Nostalgia Defence Force.

A lot of the UI music reminds me of PSO.

Is there a way to get any particular games music come solely from the TV set? And not half the tune from the pad and half from the TV. (as neat as it is)

The closest I've seen is Zen Pinball giving you a screen priority option.
