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

Epic on Wii U: UE4 not “intended” for the platform, but could be ported to Wii U

and there goes one of my big fears.

More 3rd Party Wii U games on the way

There are games that a couple members of the press know are coming but weren’t announced at E3. Supposedly Nintendo is going to be having an event on September to discuss more on games for next year.

Another confirmation about more Wii U 3rd Party coming…this time from Nintendo itself

Iwata also comments about UE4

5th Cell CEO: Wii U is "definitely more powerful than PS3/360"

What in the hell people…lol.

Although I’m sick of Zombies, ZombiU looks great and I can’t wait to get it.

FINALLY The Kirby collection comes to america!!! And :lol: it’s better than the Mario one.

Nintendo Made Pro Controller to Secure Call of Duty for Wii U

Still that button placement for the WiiU pro controller is all wrong. Probably doing that on purpose so they can “fix” the problem with the second version.

Iwata: Being first to market isn’t important

Agree and disagree. It depends on the circumstances imo. I don’t think 360 would have had as good of a market share if it released with all those issues it had at the same time PS3 did. Then there’s the whole $599 bit…

Crytek ‘working with Nintendo’, Crysis 3 a possibility

slight turnaround in tune since last time.

5 ZombiU you might not know

There was also an interview with some more facts that Gaf has up

Japan had a Nintendo direct completely dedicated to Dragon Quest X for those interested

maybe someone at some point will sub this.

EA ‘Keeping a Very Close Eye’ on Wii U

The heck happened to ya’lls announcements for last month anyway?

Random thought: Wii U pad could make for a nice touch keyboard …especially for MMO’s or games like Monster Hunter. Could also have easy responses available on the touch pad as well.

Well I asked…

EA will be doing their Showcase tomorrow at 1p.m. pdt/4pm edt. IGN is going to stream it.

Edit:

Madden and Fifa finally got announced for Wii U and Mass Effect 3 will be a launch title. Madden will have enhancements pretty much in the way how I thought it would which is good.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/02/mass-effect-3-leviathan-dlc-announced

No talk on how Mass Effect 3 will be different on the system though…It’d be funny if it had the ‘Kinect functionality’ in it because of the microphone being in the controller. If EA wanted to be cool they’d include the DLC that’s been released up to the point that the game has been released…but they probably won’t.

Edit 2:

Theres a Wii U experience in Atlanta and people on Gaf are posting impressions on the games they played as well as the controllers they held.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=485176

So they did show how Mass Effect 3 will work on the pad

Nothing serious but nice none the less.

Anyone else finding Wii U’s lineup to be a bit overwhelming? I think it’s awesome on one hand but knowing that I’d actually like to take time to thoroughly play (sometimes master) any game I purchase, I feel like I’m going to have to delay getting many Wii U games that I am very excited to buy just so I can have time to actually thoroughly play the games. In short, I feel like I could build a backlog within my Wii U collection REALLY fast with this lineup if I’m not careful.

Looks like Madden on Wii U is coming with a catch

Again…I don’t really care about Madden but it does sell. Someone did make a good point in that thread about this being a lose-lose situation and I pretty much agree with it. We’ll see what happens next year.

Mass Effect 3 will be able to be played 'off tv’

There’s definitely a lot of games that I would like to buy for the Wii U when I get it but I don’t know quite yet what I want to be the Day 1 games. Project p-100 and Darksiders II right now are definite and as of this moment I don’t think I actually want to get NSMBU at launch…I know that game is going to sell so I want to try to support some of the other games. I’m thinking really hard on Pikmin 3, ZombiU, and Rayman Legends. I’m actually really interested in Assassin’s Creed but I haven’t even finish 1 yet and 2 is chillin waiting for me to finish 1. God damn my backlog of shit lol…

^we have the same top 2, P-100 and Darksiders II.
I’ll be getting a bunch of others but those will most likely be the first two along with some smaller download-only games.
