The Official Wii U thread V.1.1 - Sun Sets on Wii U, Switch Over In March

I saw something on Gaf about Wal-mart doing preorders…they’re late as hell.

Iwata has some interesting plans for NCL going forward.

included in those plans is the idea that Miyamoto wanted to step down from being a General Manager of EAD at some point

That was the thread I saw. I’m sure it’s going to be plenty of fun tomorrow for them.

I’m still confused about the “late as hell part” on your posting. CAG or Walmart? :lol:
Anyhow, I’m going out tomorrow to my rural one…hoping it should be safe. If there is a riot, I will upload Falcon Punches and you guys
get first dibs.

Walmart…They’re just now starting to do preorders when pretty much everyone else is at least what…4 weeks ahead of them? I would have thought they’d be on top of it like everyone else was.

Edit:

If you’re thinking about CoD at all on the Wii U or somewhat interested then this preview article is a pretty good read.

Ah…well, late or not, hopefully I can use this to my advantage lol. I’ll find out in a few hours :smiley:

Glad I don’t really game online much. I feel your guys pain tho.

I hate call of duty, but this is call of duty in the future and this wii u version sounds amazing

:sad:

MISHUN COMPREET. Only one dude there with me at 730a. Got two for the “just in case”.

off-screen MH3U

If not for my EXTREMELY low percentage of progress with Tri, I’d pass on this. I believe I stopped at HR17 or so. I suppose they’re saving inventory management via the gamepad’s screen for next-gen MH but I was hopeful 3U would have it. Oh well.

Straight Right (Mass Effect 3 Wii U) is porting some AAA title from Square Enix to Wii U and also have an original title in the works for the platform

Batman: Arkham City and DQX are already being ported over, so a legit Triple A title from Square Enix would probably wind up being either Tomb Raider or a Final Fantasy game (probably that new FF XIII with Lighting coming back).

Nintendo is dropping the price on the current Wii to 129.99 and putting the Wii Sports games back in to bundle with it

Supposedly the Wii U Pro Controller has 80 hours of battery life according to GS and Amazon.

good lord if that’s true. I can only imagine in the process of possibly finding a way of making their Wii U tablet not lose all of it’s energy within 10 minutes that they found a more efficient way to consume battery power.

Ubisoft has also came out and said the Wii U pad has 1/60 of a frame of latency

Iwata asks: Wii U Gamepad
http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/gamepad/0/0

that is very VERY sad news.

It makes me wonder how seriously they’re taking the internet.

Not seriously enough yet apparently, even though Iwata did admit that they’ve been neglecting that part with the Wii

Prolly compromising again because of manufacturing and hardware costs just to benefit on the price, they sure don’t want another “3DS” to happen this time.

It also reminds me how I busted my first Wii by plugging in my cellphone charger into the USB ports, not sure what went through my mind but be sure to never plug anything that is not supposed to be plugged in in a Nintendo console.

Does anyone know if the old USB ethernet piece from the Wii will work on WiiU?

I might as well do the best I can.

Don’t know yet…I’m sure one of us could test it out when the system gets released.

Edit: double post…
