Wii/U The Nintendo Wii U thread

[Mister Carlton]

I went looking for Rayman today. They only had Fifa 14, NBA 2K & Ghosts

Nearly grabbed Uncharted 3 for $10 though.

They have Infinity starter packs for $35 as well, which I didn't see mentioned and Mario Tennis for $30

Mario Tennis was $20 recently. Should have grabbed it.

I see the 29 current Smash Bros Amiibos and the six new SMB Amiibos in my collection and I cringe.

Then I read there is a special Gold Mario Amiibo. And I rage because it's only for NA.

Zelda Wii U delayed... http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/27/the-legend-of-zelda-wii-u-delay/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Engadget&?ncid=rss_full

With most games this wouldn't be the case, but for Zelda and Elder Scrolls games I'm more than happy for delays. I want the absolute best from my two favourite franchises and if I have to wait another 6-12 months for that then that's ok with me.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

As much as effective downloadable updates can fix a 'final' release, yes, this is for the best.

I couldn't image it being ready for this year. They'll pull one or two titles out of nowhere which will be worth picking up, but I hope they also focus big on Xenoblade and its Western release because they'll want to back it all they can, let everyone know that is the 'major' title that will make up for no Zelda, among other quality.

I agree. Rather see a game delayed for 3-12 months than get it, have it be buggy as and need patches every 2 weeks

I called this last year (on GAF), but I reckon the Nintendo NX will be the portable/home console hybrid I've been dreaming of.

- Power of the WiiU squeezed into the size of the n3DS XL
- HDMI signal sender included for TV use
- Games can be made for TV use, portable use or BOTH, no splitting of dev resources
- Games that use both "formats" open up unique gameplay possibilities

I was hoping it would be called Super Nintendo DS, but hopefully NX is just a codename.

This will entice me to look at a Nintendo again after being burnt by the wii

How could you be burnt by the Wii? It had plenty of great games.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Motion control rubbish?

 

[The Big Sauce]

Just quietly.

Mario Party 10 is the worst game Nintendo have released in a very long time.

They're only good if you're playing with family/friends otherwise there's no point.

Nintendo actually including online play may have helped.

Played with 3 other friends. It was horrible, online wouldn't have helped it.

Shovel ware and a crap controller?

Shovel ware and a crap controller?

Shovelware exists on quite literally every high selling console in history.

There are plenty of good games on the Wii. The amount of shovelware doesn't affect that.

...but I think the Wii U is a better console, comparatively.

 

[kangle4]

Fair enough.

I enjoy playing with my brother and mates because it becomes fairly competitive but I can understand why some wouldn't like it.

Watching the GameTrailers crew play it for an hour was torturous.

The total lack of minigames is absurd.

Heaps of shovelware on the PS2 as well.

Worse than the 3DS one?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

What's so bad about MP10?

Played it with a couple others and it was pretty fun.

Bowser Party is fun as.

But when Nintendo has it, it's the devil! : shifty look :

 

[Premiers04]

I'll grab Mario Party 10 eventually. Played it with my daughter at JB and it was pretty fun.

Very lacklustre. Given it a miss.

The problems are the same as 9, but worse.

The board has become more important than the minigames. The board was only ever a way to play competitive minigames against each other, and there was skill involved in the minigames. There are now far less minigames, and they are increasingly based on chance alone.

Fair enough regarding the chance.

One game I was 4th, towards the end, got on a Bowser thing. Bowser took half of all our stars, I ended up overtaking my friend who was coming 1st.

Second game I got 102 stars by the end
