Nintendo Wii U

[Not Thread Owner]

Unless you want Ubi games that are in the sale

[ryodi]

You can't transfer Lost Winds from the Wii to the WiiU if you have that on WiiWare. You can always sell the WW code to fund a physical purchase if you don't want to download if.

[boybrown]

I've just ordered a wi fit U monitor thingy and picked up a balance board from some kind of Cash converter type shop for £9.99

Roll on Friday for the free download.

Do we know when the Tennis & Golf is being released?

[Yasawas]

Tennis is the 7th November, Golf is sometime later.

Apparently Tennis and Bowling are an automatic 1.3GB download if you have SpotPass turned on so be aware of that ye on limited internet plans.

Fucking hell, Nintendo. You're either all out or all in.

They really have to because fffffffffuuuuuck:

http://www.dromble.com/2013/10/30/in-six-months-wii-u-sells-5-percent-of-9-million-annual-target/

During the first six months ending in September, Nintendo has only sold 460,000 Wii U units about 5 percent of its annual target of 9 million.

2014 is the year of the WiiU

[NEG]

Just like they were going to go all guns blazing at E3, right?

[sandman]

Nintendo need it at £199 with Super Mario WiiU and LuigiU chucked in

Thank you

Wii only I'm afraid... no backwards compatibility with GameCube.

I suspect it's a business thing other than technical - they want to do HD remakes of some GC classics.

Or you know the usual reasons, few people used the GC ports on the Wii, why bother continuing to waste money on connections few people use, also save money on the optical drive support for the custom disc format, if the system supports the Wii in hardware, supporting the GameCube in hardware isn't much a step further along, considering the hardware commonality they share.

[squirtle]

Heh, My Wii is now my GC player. All my Wii games I play on the Wii U. Strange.

[Nobuo's Organ]

You can still play GameCube games via homebrew on the vWii. It's a bit of a pain in the arse at the moment, but I'd love to have this setup:

Tell me how to do this. Where are the GC games stored?

2-part review featuring guest star 8-Bit Eric!

[mrsnrub]

I wonder if, because I had super castlevania 4 on wii vc, will it show up as 99p on wii u?

Also, I got Darksiders 2 ages ago, loved it, but it kept having faults loading. Only game I ever had do that. The guy in Game said they had a lot of returns and thinks it was maybe a bad batch being sold "before the banks closed the doors at THQ"

shame, might pick it up again some time as I was getting into it.

Upgrades are £1.49 for SNES games, I think.

[Nobuo's Organ]

Too paranoid for this shit.

This. Wha?

Such a brilliant game.

In loving memory of my best survivor.

[Nobuo's Organ]

Such a brilliant game.

What was with the zombies with yellow stuff coming out of their heads? I was bricking it so much I ran right past the door back to the shortcut and wasted half my ammo blasting my way back down the alley.

[Epcotman]

Ha! It is a really creepy game. Not sure what the yellow heads were all about (maybe spitters?) but it's safe to say all zombies are best avoided.

I know that Nintendo are hardly charitable when it comes to pricing but 8.99 seems a bit steep on a per game basis, IMO.

[scottcr]

Oh look - Nintendo quarterly update and my twitter feed is full of 'If only Nintendo would put Pokemon/Mario/Zelda on iOS' nonsense again...

[shirubagan]

... If that did happen, to which the same people would then moan about it being £3.49 and say how they've pirated it and have an emulator running it anyway, etc.

The public are, by and large, dickheads.

[scottcr]

I'm playing Pokemon Y just now - there simply is no iOS game out there with this amount of content...

Pokemon, again, like Animal Crossing, would be one of the easiest games in the world to make F2P and load it full of IAPs...

... and in doing so would completely destroy what the game is about.

[ryodi]

It's the mindset that they like Nintendo games but resent having to buy the hardware to play them on. If we'd had this discussion 18 months ago they'd have been asking for them on Facebook as well because that's where the previous good rush was.

" These controls are too precise, fucking sort it Ninty "

[dataDave]

I normally don't opt for Western developed stuff because I'm a bit of an elitist prick, but Zombi-U has my interest.

I was on Minecraft yesterday with my three little nieces and we were all shitting ourselves after getting lost in a huge cave system. I'd like to try something even more intense when I come back next time.

Unfortunately it's still full price here and will likely remain like that for all eternity.

I dunno man, Angry Birds must be in the hundreds of levels range by now.

And the iOS version of Sonic 1 has all 3 regions/plays better then any console version.
