Added~ I don't have ZombiiU at the moment since I'm not a huge fan of shooters but I'll look into it later.

jjrocks, you should make your own Wii U Thread. Bass doesn't seem to be updating this.

There's like, no fucking shooting at all. I've died more times than i've shot a gun. Which is to say, i've not shot a gun and i've died 3 times :v

So true. I always wanna save my shots and try not to shoot the enemies, but as a result I'm dying very often :o
jjrocks
I'll look into it then.
Anyway, for any of you US folk the Rayman Legends, Fifa 13, and Sonic All Stars Racing demos are on the Wii U eShop.

For all things that are great, get the Rayman Legends Demo. That demo has definitely changed me form "maybe buy" to "definitely buy". It certainly is one of the best platformers I've played in a long time.

create your own topic asap and ask a moderator to move posts if that's even possible any longer.
I just feel it would be better to have an op that's providing useful information

I'll look into it and talk to one or two mods and see what they see about the current situation, if they agree then I'll create a new thread with an updated friendlist and such.

Got one! Username is Behonkiss. If you want to add me, do it via Miiverse so you can let me know you're from here.
jjrocks
Alright, I'll add you in the morning (assuming the world doesn't end). And for those who don't know how to add people via Miiverse I have a post on the front page for it.

Alright, got my Wii U today, here's my username: Dieathan.

Due to... issues, I won't be getting one today. I probably won't be getting one till my birthday (February) at this rate.

Don't worry; I have to spend $200 on a 3DS XL before I get a Wii U. :P

What? You have to pay for a brand new 3DS because of a faulty R button?

I am not updating anything due to jjrocks wanted make list himself. So I left that to his hands if he wanted it so much...
foulcoon
added my name to the list and added some peoples, have super mario bros U, sonic racing and nintendo land
Mianki
Now I prolly wait untill summer to see the announcements of the next Xbox and Playstation. If the next xbox comes out this year, I dunno if I'll get a Wii U. But if they announce that the next Kingdom Hearts game is Playstation only game then I'll prolly buy that :D
What an exiting year~
Ekaru
Personally, I'm a diehard Mario Kart fan to the point where I'll eventually be getting a Wii U just for the inevitable Mario Kart game. We'll see when that is, though.
jjrocks
I really hope they don't take it the way they took Mario Kart Wii (god motorcycles were a horrible idea). Also, I hope they don't treat the Wii U as a bigger Nintendo DS, I want more Nintendo Land type multiplayer. That's how you do a good job with a console.
foulcoon
This thread is gonna be dead until Pikmin 3 isn't it? :P
Soaprman
Well, either then or when the fake Smash Bros 4 character roster pics start rolling out.
foulcoon
Tru dat.

Anyone have Ninja Gaiden 3? how is it? I don't have it for any other console, and there seems to be additional content on the Wii U version.
Dieathan
Have never played any of the modern Ninja Gaiden games but from what I hear the Wii U port of NG3 is a big improvement over the PS3/360 ports.

It was fucking awful on the 360/PS3. I doubt there will be much improvement on the WiiU.

  1. 2 major updates in Spring and Summer
  2. Spring brings the virtual console and a smartphoneMiiVerse
  3. Virtual Console games will be the same pricing as the Wii unless you have it on the Wii
  4. If you have it on the Wii, it costs $1 for NES and $1.50 on SNES
  5. You can play it on the Gamepad, there are also Save states, as well as a Miiverse community
  6. In regards to Miiverse communitiy, as the updates roll out you will be able to create your own community
  7. For the next month there will be games from the Famicom coming out as an anniversery
  8. These games will be 30 cents as a "Trial" version and when the virtual console comes out you can purchase it for the reduced price ($1)
  9. Wonderful 101 has voice acting and it actually sounds decent
  10. Bayoneta 2 is doing well but no footage
  11. New Mario Kart in development (playable at E3)
  12. New Mario game development (shown at E3)
  13. Smash Bros. will be shown at E3
  14. New Wii Party in development

  21. Windwaker by the fall
  22. You can play it on the Wii U Gamepad
  23. New RPG from Xenoblade studio complete with Swords, Mechs, and guns
In short, 2 new Zelda's, Yoshi's Island, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Virtual Console.
Mianki
AND XENOBLADE 2
Most hyped about that
Ekaru
He did mention that title, and no, we don't know if it's Xenoblade 2 yet:

New RPG from Xenoblade studio complete with Swords, Mechs, and guns
That said, what fucking trolls. Why the hell would I transfer my Wii data, then, if I'd have to buy all of my VC games again?

...I'll be getting a Wii U anyways because HD MARIO KART. YES! I AM TOTALLY NOT A MARIO KART FANBOY OKAY?
Azure_Kite
The visual style of the interface looks Xenobladey, also there's Shulk.

From my understanding (I'm really not sure if it's right), you can transfer your games and then play them, but if you want a more enhanced version, you get the Wii U version. At least I'm hoping that's the case.

Yup, that's exactly the case. You still can play all your Wii Virtual Console games on Wii U the extra $1 is for extra stuff

My Wii U is collecting dust in the corner, lately.
There's just no game out I wanna buy. All the awesome games are still in development. :o

So sad and so true.

You know a console is getting pretty buttfucked when it has no games out for a whole month. I mean seriously. The last game to come out was Wheel of Fortune/Jeapordy (shitty, shitty games), and then we got The Cave like a week ago.

In the coming month, we will get TWO WHOLE GAMES! 1 Multi Plat that might be ok (Fist of the North Star 2) and Rayman Legends (which I will certainly purchase)
I mean look at this shit. http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/ ... =condensed

Even the 3DS and PS3 weren't struggling this bad with amounts of games.

Rayman Legends was delayed by 7 months just because Ubisoft were some douchebags and decided to make ports. There is a petition you can sign for Ubisoft to keep their promise and hopefully we can still get Rayman Legends for March (or February for the US)
Ekaru
The development team is also pretty ticked off since they basically pulled all-nighters and sacrificed their social lives to meet the deadline... all for nothing.
Saso-Hikage
I've just switched on my Wii U and noticed that I didn't play for such a long time that my gamepad's battery was run down.
The sad point is that I have no intention of charging it...

I got a Wii U today and it was awesome.

Nintendo Direct is on. Besides yet another Mario & Sonic Olympics game and stuff we already knew about, they just announced that the next Sonic platformer, Lost Worlds, will only be on the Wii U and 3DS. If it's anything like Colors and Generations, it'll be something to look forward to.

Well, if you liked Mario Galaxy, then you'll like Lost Worlds



So from from the YT comments, people are saying this is like Sonic X-treme.

Those deadly six honestly gave me a Space Jam vibe when then first showed up.

Now that's a movie idea.

Sonic Jam - Starring Charles Barkley

Have anyone tired the TVii?
NaomiMinette
So, let's see:

- Super Mario 3D World
- Mario Kart 8
- Sonic: Lost Worlds
- Wind Waker HD
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- SSB for 3DS and WiiU (Villager and Megaman joining; cel-shaded look for 3DS)

Anything else I missed that was announced at E3?

So excited for this. I wonder how splitting 3DS and Wii U will turn out.
Young Link 4
5 days to Pikmin 3 european release, so let's revive this thread. Bought a Wii U two weeks ago and after some nice rounds Nintendo Land with some friends and now Earthbound, I'm ready to throw plants. Anyone else at least a bit hyped for this game?

Also how about collecting IDs? Mine's YoungLink4.
NaomiMinette
Recently got a Wii U as well. PM me if you want to add me; I'll only add active people as well as those I know, though.

Only online multiplayer game I have at the moment is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

You got it for the Wii U, eh? Now you might actually be able to beat the flying parts! \o/
Blue Stig
Yep got one too.
Going through New Super Mario Bros U.
Addicted to my computer still. It's way too convenient.
MegaRevolution1
Ohey, I have a Wii U!~
I'd say wait a bit longer, though. The most it has is Mario Bros U (Along with its Luigi version) and a select group of NES/SNES Virtual Console games. Unless you are a gigantic Mario fan or don't know how emulators work, you should just wait for the flood of games to come in near October.

I'm honestly hoping they update the Chat/friending stuff though, and maybe add in Skype. At least do SOMETHING to put the new camera to use, besides making another Just Dance game.
DarkDunskin
I don't have a Wii U, but still...

Rantai
Pikmin 3 was disappointingly short.

Still fun as every other Pikmin game but I'm guessing that I'm going to have to do the missions to get my satisfied fill.
Mianki
NaomiMinette
Ugh, I knew I should've held back on getting a Wii U... Oh well...

and suddenly the Wii U gets really interesting for me

It's been out for a while, still haven't got it, may do soon though.

To anyone in North America: Wind Waker HD is coming out to the eShop this Friday (the same day as the Wind Waker HD bundle).

The physical copy of the game comes out next month, if you'd rather get that.

So it's not confirmed, but apparently according to a certain eShop ComiCon video there might be a Majora's Mask remake...
MarioBound
The sequel to Wii U: Wii U Are, as in Wee Poo Arse
NaomiMinette
*sees/hears Super Mario 3D World having online capabilities -> "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" -> sees/hears it's only for ghost data and Miiverse-related stuff -> "Booooooooooooooo..."*

On the other hand, seeing the newest trailer definitely made me wanna get it now.
Blue Stig
I'd like to see another Mario Strikers sequel.
I have fond memories of both games in the series.
NaomiMinette
Bit relevant: the Nintendo Network update for the 3DS is now live, so if you have both a 3DS and Wii U, now's the time to link them.

Keep in mind that there's high traffic going on right now, so if you're experiencing connection issues, you know why.
Mianki
Holy crap Super Mario 3D World is sooo much fun. Definitely a must buy for anyone with a Wii U.
NaomiMinette
I'm waiting for my eShop funds to merge before I get it.

I want it so bad ><
Got the game now. I may not have anyone else to play it with, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far~

OMG, PEACH HAS A PONYTAIL IN HER FIRE FORM, AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! <3
Young Link 4
I thought, I'm not interested in Mario games again, but damn it ponytail Peach makes me want to play it. I need to find someone who has a WiiU and buys Mario games.
Mianki
The game is better in single player than in co op. When I played it with my sister, there wasn't your own peace and pace to explore the levels.

I'm going through the whole game with just her mainly because of that :P

...Actually, that'd be a lie. There are some levels where you NEED to swap characters to get certain things.
Soaprman
If you're feeling lazy, you can just hook up a wiimote to add a player 2 with the needed character then disconnect when they're not needed anymore.

I prefer playing as Toad. Good honest platforming and gottagofasting.
NaomiMinette
I'll probably play as Toad when I decide to do speedruns for Miiverse. Otherwise I'm just playing the game casually.

I'll keep what you said in mind, though :)
Soaprman
Also gotta say, as good as the game itself is, nothing - and I mean nothing - beats all the Miiverse posts with the fart stamp. You know the one.

Edit: Just checked Miiverse... didn't take long to find one of those posts!

NaomiMinette
Wow... Just when I thought I was done with SM3DW... (spoilers)
I get only one stamp for finishing all the courses as Peach, with 4 stamps missing...

Guess that's the replay value of this game. Time to replay all the stages as the other 4 characters now /o/
In the most recent Nintendo Direct, this happened


Also, Rosalina's a confirmed playable character for the next SSB!

And finally, there's a new Mario Kart 8 trailer!

So did anyone get NES REMIX? If so, how is it?
Stefan
Would be honestly silly if they suddenly use a completely different name as The Legend of Zelda:...

Or does this not belongs to the TLOZ series?
