Nintendo Wii U

[pranny]

oh weird I read 17gb I had just got up though, cheers! Madness descending.

Ah yep that is the full game. This is not an xbox 360.

[Barnard]

My Wavebirds return to living room is going to be short lived, Nintendo have confirmed it will only work with Smash Bros. :-(

I'm sure the PC driver writers won't let us down.

There's already a USB GC adapter for the PC and Mac. I use a digital Hori GC pad with one.

Downloading the Bayonetta 2 demo now. No idea what to expect, I was only vaguely aware of the original as some kind of librarian / latex fetish mashup. I guess there's a game there too?

With a scarcely interesting football game on TV, tonight seemed to be the perfect night to catch up on some Super Mario 3D World, or so I thought...

MY GAMEPAD BATTERY JUST DIED! NOOOOOOO!!!

[Not Thread Owner]

How? Don't you just keep it in the charge cradle when you're not using it, like normal people?

[kyletherobot]

I switch things off at the plug when I'm not using them, like normal people.

[Indy @ S.E.]

I was all hyped to download the demo when I got home till I remembered the wii u is boxed up, ready to go back to Nintendo as the wifi just doesn't seem to want to connect. I might give it one more go though, see if ring unploughed for a few days helped.

On a side note, if I did a factory reset and relogged in with my NNID would I be able to download all my purchases?

[Alexlotl]

What the hell am I playing?

[Alexlotl]

Well, I can't say it wasn't fun for a bit. Just as incomprehensible as W101, though. I thought I knew what I was doing until

the dragon turned up and I grew wings

at which point the evade thing no longer seemed to work and I was repeatedly eaten.

Love the classic 90s arcade feel to the music.

[Wiper]

Evade still works on the boss, the timing is just a bit different on his attacks.

That said, it did remind me of one of the things I didn't like about the original Bayonetta - the noise levels are just through the roof, which I realise is part of the appeal, but for me just distracts from playing the game (particularly in the case of that boss, where the massive screen-filling enemy combined with the sudden lack of clear control over your positioning just distracts me massively). I enjoyed it, and I'll buy it when it comes out (with Bayo 1, to give it another playthrough), but it's still a little way from my preferred approach for a brawler.

That's not normal.

So when you want to use your Wii U, you charge the controller for a couple of hours, waiting, then play? Do you do the same with your phone?

[shirubagan]

I switch everything off at the wall, but switch the gamepad on at the wall as soon as the Wii U goes on.

You people who don't switch plugs off at the wall are the abnormal ones. I bet you leave all your phone chargers plugged in and and switched on too.

I take it one step further, i leave lights on ALL NIGHT

[shirubagan]

Why?

Can't you just take the cable out of the cradle and plug it in the gamepad. Play n charge, like. Edited October 9, 2014 by siread

Its not so much a change as looking for a different attack pattern or signs of attack. That's how I'd describe it. I was surprised how good it looked, played and sounded to be honest. I wasnt expecting this much, and it runs so well!

He probably would if he could play New Star Soccer on it, hint hint. I know I would.

[Protocol Penguin]

Played the Bayonetta 2 demo, it seems like just a mindless, repetitive, disorientating, button-masher with some (very) good graphics. Not my thing at all. Still, the demo's saved me wasting thirty quid on a game which I have zero chance of enjoying, so it has served its purpose at least.

[stefcha]

You can play it like that, yeah, but that's the lowest level of how to get through it really. Not sure you needed to bring out the blatant childish trolling though to be honest.

Edit: Ah, you appear to have now edited it a bit.

You should sell off your Wii U to someone who can at least appreciate games. You seem to have no hope in that.

[jonnyalpha]

I'm sorry guys but I don't like Bayonetta either. I mean I like the presentation, music, sheer energy and weirdness of it all and can see it's a good game in it's genre but it's just not for me. I'm still going to keep my WiiU if that's ok.

[Camel]

I think it's the 'button-masher' part that has caused a few gasps. I'd be very surprised if B2 fits that description.

[jonnyalpha]

Does that mean I'm forgiven?

[dataDave]

I'm still going to keep my WiiU if that's ok.

That's allowed as long as you don't appear to despise pretty much all of the other output on the machine.

That said, I have my eye on you now...

[stefcha]

Like I said, you can play it like that if you want, there's enough combos for you to be able to hit stuff whatever you try (and the tutorial does try show that and tell you to give some a go). Anyway, I negged the comment when it was considerably more scathing pre-edit, if it's not what someone enjoys playing then that's fair enough.

[chris on the moon]

You totally can't, bayonetta is a difficult game. It's hardly "mindless".

[Camel]

Does that mean I'm forgiven?

It means not liking Bayonetta was never the issue.

[stefcha]

You totally can't, bayonetta is a difficult game. It's hardly "mindless".

I wasn't agreeing that it was mindless, but it's a game with multiple difficulty levels and you can totally play through it without learning any of the intricacies if you don't want to. If you can learn to dodge and don't care whether you get stone or pure platinum medals, you can happily play the game.
