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.

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.

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
  15. Yoshi's Island is coming out with a style similar to Epic Yarn
  16. Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem project is in development
  17. New Zelda game coming out, screens coming out in the future
  18. Plans to change the standard format of Zelda
  19. Misson statment: "Rethink the conventions of Zelda"
  20. The Wii U Zelda Windwaker remake is just some filler before the new Zelda comes out
  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.

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.

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.
