Nintendo Wii U

[Mr Ben]

Has this been posted before?

I really want a Wii U after watching that!

[taurusnipple]

Negged that by accident dude, looks amazing though!

[ridgeracer]

I gave a pos to balance it out

[stefcha]

Didn't recognise Monolith and watched that thinking "fuck, this is amazing like a cross between Xenogears and Xenoblade or something" then I see the X at the end and I was all like

[Mr Ben]

Also found this video with some more gameplay footage and seems to show a party system

[stefcha]

Shit, I'd just buy Xenoblade in HD to be honest, it was such a waste on the Wii given what it looked like it was capable of in terms of epic vistas but at least Dolphin releases some of its potential. No idea why that or this is Wii/Wii U only though, but I'll have something to play it on at least so who cares

[hub2]

It's because Monolith Soft are a first party 100% owned Nintendo studio.

X looks like Monster Hunter with crazy ass mechs. Sold.

The game pad is much bigger than I thought it would be!

How big did you think a 6 inch screen would be?

It just tells you about wii fit u that i already bloody well have...

[Not Thread Owner]

Exactly. Ads on the dashboard? Bit Microsoft, innit?

[Sardan]

So wii fit u, how different is it from Wii fit? It uses the same balance board, right?

Also I didn't know the screen was 6".

When are the next console/software sales announcements so we can go all 'Nintendo is doomed' again? I miss those days...

[mrsnrub]

neg you are dangerously close to going on my block list

also, so is Charlie brooker. He mentions next gen then only shows two of the three next gen systems, piss poor charlie.

BTW, I got Edge from the eshop today. £1.59 and its excellent. Really fun "boutique gaming" style kind of thing. At that price it is rude not to.

Same balance board, has more/different subgames included, and you can buy a (completely optional) pedometre to measure your daily steps when away from the console.

Ok so PS4 not bought for now and confirmed Santa delivery of Wii U! Quick question, so I can play Wii games and I understand they look a little better but do I need to use a wii remote and nunchuck, or will they play using the standard Wii U pad? I'm thinking specifically of the Galaxy games, Paper Mario and Metroid- basically catching up with the Nintendo games I missed with not having a Wii. Finally, if you don't need the nunchuck will they run on the pad screen? I saw Paper Mario running on it and it looked great.

[JPickford]

You have to use original Wii controllers for Wii games.

[BubbleFish]

Makes sense. I was confused by the YouTube video of Wii games running on the screen.

[MojoChin]

Wii games can run on the screen but you still need the original controllers. The gamepad has a sensor bar built in so you can point the Wiimotes at the pad and play.

My prayers were answered in the other thread I am so happy.

That really should be something that's integrated on the OS level, or at the very least Miiverse.

[scottcr]

You can share MiiVerse posts to Facebook and tumblr as well. If anything, the thjng above is faster than MiiVerse

How? I don't see any sharing options?

[shirubagan]
