Nintendo Wii U

[scottcr]

Steady, i was being sarcastic or something...oh, go ahead then.

I know....

Compare Knack and Wonderful 101... which one looks better? Hmmmmmm....

[timgp]

Right, mine is out for delivery.

What do I do when it arrives? Connect to wifi, do system updates, get NNID? Do we have a n00blers guide?

[Keiths_Dad]

So ZombiU, Nintendo Land and Rayman on the list. I've never got on with Monster Hunter so I'll give that a miss. Couple more questions - do Wii classic controllers work the same as the Wii U ones, or will I have to go for the expensive option? Also, has anyone tried Spin the Bottle? What little I've seen of it looks great fun.

I think you just wrote it. All you missed was "Play F Zero on the gamepad and wish everything else could be this good."

[timgp]

Oh god the system update is slow. And I can't do it in the background. Or use the eshop until I update.

Good job it's not Christmas Day.

[timgp]

Ps. I'm timdp-u.

[ras el hanout]

My netflix hasn't fucked up since the update. Hopefully it's been fixed because that was doing my nut in.

Yes it takes an age but once it's done let the good times roll. That gamepad.... you will come to love it.

Stick in Zombie U and play the best survival horror game in years.

I love that there's a new wave of Wii U appreciation. It deserves it. I adore mine. Feel free to add Epcotman.

Top tip for newcomers: add friends through MiiVerse and not the friend list, that way it comes with a notification rather than both people having to both add each other.

[Keiths_Dad]

They've scrapped friend codes then? Excellent.

I got a text message from the courier earlier, my console's coming tomorrow and I have the day off work. Nice.

I'm b00dles on Nintendo too

I don't know what game to get next out of Wonderful 101 and Wind Waker. I also still need Zombi U.

Walkthrough of some of the early levels.

There's a bit at 8:00 where I was "OMG they need to do a HD Paper Mario!!!".You'll know it when you see it.

Then after that there's a another level where the player gets some cherries and you think Mario & Luigi Vs Zelda Four Swords.

Spoilers obviously but looks pure amazing.

[timgp]

It's initially really weird seeing Nintendo games in HD.

Both.

Get Zombi U later.

The most recent update actually fixed that - you can do the same thing directly from the friend list which is on the home menu now. It's working how it should have done from day one.

And Tim, I know it won't help now, but you could have downloaded the update in the background and used the Wii U in the meantime.

And BUY ZOMBIU, it's available to silly money and it's awesome.

[SpagMasterSwift]

I'm starting to really want the HD Wind Waker - is that new Mario out for Christmas (is there no New 3D MarioU thread)? If not I may have to get some Zelda love under the tree.

[rgraves]

is that new Mario out for Christmas

Yes, it's coming in November.

[SpagMasterSwift]

Top (and sadly probably only entry) of this year's list to Wonder Santa then!

[Takizawa]

I would play the hell out of The Thousand Year Door HD, if ever a thing existed.

[SMD]

I'd want a brand new Paper Mario with more powers to be honest.

Ah! That's smashing, didn't know that.

[kwakpriest]

I would love it if Nintendo were to 'do a Wind Waker' on the original Paper Mario. It must have had a pretty small audience in it's lifetime - I know I had to play it on an emulator.

Basically the dream is a Wii U that has all Nintendo's N64 and onwards top tier character stuff on it and in HD.

[Takizawa]

Oh definitely, that would have sold the Wii U to me more than Wind Waker to be honest, but i'll settle for TYD for now

Paper Mario was released for the VC on the Wii. Obviously just a straight port rather than a HD remaster or something, but it could be played on a Nintendo console without needing emulators and stuff.
