Nintendo Wii U

[SMD]

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

Thing is, it already looks gorgeous on the Gamecube even on a CRT. I'd much rather a brand new Paper Mario to take advantage of the Gamepad and to make up for Super Paper Mario's disappointment. And if they're remaking anything next, I want Majora's Mask 3DS next year please.

As does Wind Waker, but the Wii U HD version is something else.

Balls, my Wii U arrived (yay) and it looks like it has a dead pixel (boo). Will have to arrange a replacement

[Keiths_Dad]

Got mine too. I've set it up, done the updates and set Zelda to download. I'm not much of a Zelda fan, but my god the Wind Waker console packaging is gorgeous.

Is there a way to transfer saved data yet from one Wii U to another? I won't get my replacement until Wednesday but I want to start ZombiU now

I know games can be transferred from a Wii to a Wii U, but how about from a Wii U to a Wii U?

Transferring data from one Wii U to another Wii U is not supported at this time. However, we are looking into this feature and will provide an update if there is anything to report.

That's games... Surely you can transfer saves using the SD card... You could with the Wii

[Osito]

Profiles can't be transferred either, I'd imagine, which could potentially stop save files being copied/recognised.

So this update means that Wind Waker is pretty much one of the best looking games across two full generations, and the start of a third. I'm at Windfall Island and the game is simply beautiful; while £44-49.99 is an insane price, it's disingenuous to suggest that it's a simple up-res job that should cost no more than £25.

I won't pretend that it's my favourite Zelda (the Triforce hunt saw to that) but if that & less damning annoyances have dealt with as effectively as some are saying, it might come close.

Just had a quick blast at WW, and it's lovely. I enjoyed the Gamecube version until the sailing stuff came in, so hopefully with that having been altered I can see it through to the end. I tried Wonderful 101, and although I noticed the low polygon counts and slightly blurred textures, those thoughts were banished within seconds of taking control. I can already tell I'll fall in love with that game.

Wi ya look a heim!

I tried the Wii on Gamepad mode and it's surprisingly good fun, even when using the separate controller.

The pointer works a treat on the pad. It might be quirky, but it's quite cool playing Wii games on a tiny tv on your sofa....

[Thwomp]

I've started using gamepad mode as much as I can. I bought the cheapest Samsung 1080p TV I could find and games look gash on it. I've heard people complaining about the resolution of the gamepad screen, but the colours are perfect and it smooths images out beautifully.

[Rain Birds]

I had a bit of a shock in Asda today - Just Dance 2014 was available on Wii U. That marks the first Wii U game to be stocked in my local store, and the first post-launch title the chain has carried altogether, even online.

[Keyboard Koala]

Congrats deKay, for making the ONM Mii Plaza/reader's section.

[Not Thread Owner]

I know! And they misquoted me so I sound stupid

I was in it a few issues ago talking about Little Kings Story too, fwiw.

I've also seen my local Asda has updated the Wii section to be a Wii/ Wii U. Although the only Wii U games they had was Just Dance and Disney Infinity....

In saying that, the ps3 and 360 section was 90% shite.

[Epcotman]

Super Mario Galaxy looks so beautiful on the Gamepad. Love that you can now play Wii games like this.

[cavalcade]

BUT HOW DO YOU HOLD THE PAD? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? TELL ME.

I have to agree. Xenoblade looks great too. I'm going to have a trawl through the Wii collection tonight and try some other stuff. Brilliant feature.

[Steven]

BUT HOW DO YOU HOLD THE PAD? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? TELL ME.

I was thinking about updating this and having a go later on - I'd imagine I'll just stick it in its cradle. Metroid Prime trilogy in bed sounds worth a go.

[Epcotman]

I've just got it in the stand on the coffee table. It's like being able to place the TV anywhere in the room.

[b00dles]

Wait, what? I can play Xenoblade on the Gamepad?

I only bought that really late and stopped playing since getting the WiiU. Time to get stuck back in, I'd only just got to the exceptionally cool Ewok village big tree place as well.

Or am I misunderstanding and I'll have to still use the classic controller? I suppose that is probably what I'll have to do, not sure that will lend itself to in-bed play...

[Takizawa]

From what I understand you only use the Game Pad as a screen, you'll still have to use the original control methods

[Purin]

The shame of activating the super guide in nsmbu

Why do they never learn from the past...

[gizmo1990]

They really do need to sort that out as soon as possible. Some form of mapping must be achievable. I'd certainly see that as a big reason for me to get a wiiu.

Knowing Nintendo though they'll just leave that feature half finished so only a few diehards will use it.

Rumours abound - Luigi's Mansion for WiiU...

I'd love Kid Icarus to be done for WiiU.

At the end of October? The timing would be perfect but it sounds more like wishful thinking.
