Nintendo Wii U

Fuck all that other noise, MH3U.

only problem is the awful lag on the Mario speed runs which you can usually compensate for but there's been a few stages where the gamepad almost ended up thrown out a window.

What lag?

[chris on the moon]

Yeah, no lag, that's just what mario 1 has always controlled like.

I found nes remix a bit easier when I was using a wii classic controller pro. The wii remote turned on its side as a nes pad worked a bit nicer than the gamepad, too, I thought.

[Lorfarius]

When you press the jump button on the pad there's a slight delay. Having picked up a Famicom recently and completed Mario 1 again I can tell its there. Just feels wrong.

[Wiper]

Out of curiosity, are you running the famicom through the same TV/in the same TV mode? It could just be the input lag of the gamepad, but it could also be compounded by your TV's response rate.

(if you're playing entirely on the gamepad then, yeah, I'd anticipate noticeable lag for sure. Wouldn't want to play a shmup on it!)

[Lorfarius]

Same TV had a play around and set it to game mode when I noticed a thread about it online but didn't do any good for me Its a fairly common problem from some of the forum posts I've seen around the web.

The lag on the gamepad is lower than most HDTVs, apparently.

So I'd *rather* play a shoot 'em up on it than the TV!

Smash bros for Wii U has been confirmed as a December 5th release.

Where's the bundle with the controller? Or is that in there too? Not on Amazon yet it seems.

Just got the email from Nintendo, doesn't look like there is a bundle with a controller at all !!

Pad on it's own is £24.99

I still have a load of Cube controllers including a Wavebird. I'm assuming they'll work with the connector, is that right?

edit: I should use my eyes, there appears to be a cube controller in the picture on the side of the box.

[neoELITE]

Awwww man!

[Oh Danny Boy]

Well, that's ONM gone for sure then.

Boo

it's pointless having a video game magazine which has no games to preview/ review.

[Not Thread Owner]

Apart from the 15 or so released each month, of course.

I'll be queuing up to be the first to read the exclusive review of Unicorn Farm Party Island.

[shirubagan]

That sounds fucking awesome.

Sounds like a Dutch grot film.

I've had an idea for what they might do with Amiibos to make them more useful. Nintendo Land 2. It could be a free automatic downward like Sports Club, and Amiibos could unlock the games. It would be a cool bonus on top of whatever they do in specific games, and if the base software was free it would avoid criticism over having to buy figures to unlock content you've already paid for.

[Not Thread Owner]

That's a great idea.

So Nintendo won't do it.

[Lorfarius]

So Wonderful 101 and Hyrule Warriors arrived, I set 101 up to do its update and wandered off to wash the dishes... only managed to break a glass in the bowl and slice down the side of my thumb and a finger. Blood everywhere and now its wrapped up in bandage and plasters. But I can't hold the Gamepad! Gahhh! Been looking forward to playing them all damn day

[Sarlaccfood]

Thanks Nintendo!

[dataDave]

Don't try playing TW101 with a fucked hand.

[Lorfarius]

I gave it a go but was impossible

[shirubagan]

Oh shit dude - hope you have a speedy recovery!

[scottcr]

I gave it a go but was impossible

I can completely sympathise - I was once drunkenly slicing fruit in mid air with ultra sharp knifes, hit my thumb and severed my tendon. For a while afterwards, I was relegated to games that were easy to play with one hand. I played a lot of FFTA on the GBA Player. Whilst getting physio, I was told that playing games was good for helping my thumb recover... so, you'll then have plenty excuse to play games.

[Lorfarius]

I need a dishwasher!

[Keyboard Koala]

[GokouD]

Sweet!

*edit*

Wait, that's today! Even better.

[womble9]

Hurrah!! Working from home today so may have to nip into the front room to set that going .

[pranny]

Anyone grabbed all those Gigabytes yet? What sort of demo is it? Start of the game or half way through throwing you right in and possibly a bit spoilery???

[Not Thread Owner]

It's less than a GB! 750MB-ish.
