The wii u is not a new version of the wii.

It is an entirely new console (it is backwards compatible with wii games).

It's definitely worth a buy if you love Nintendo games as well as stuff like Rayman: Legends and Sonic: Lost World.

I'd rather be happy that we have the feature at all, really. And since some Wii games require the individual motion senors in the Nunchuck and Wii Remotes, it would be pretty awkward to move the entire gamepad for games like, say, Wii Sports or Skyward Sword.

There's a sensor bar built into the gamepad. At least it looks like it. I haven't been bothered to try a Wii game on it yet.

Okay, well then you still would have to use the wiimote while aiming at the small gamepad sensor.

As said, it's a new console and not a new version, so yes, buy it!

Pikmin 3, Mario 3DWorld, Rayman, Sonic, Wonderful 101, and a bunch of indie support... Can't go wrong if you're a Nintendo fan.

---

About the offscreen Wii stuff... I don't think it's worth complaining about. Yes it works using the Gamepad's sensor, and you still have to point your remote at it, but it's better than nothing for anyone who actually has a use for this feature. They may add gamepad support in the future, since it does recognize inputs from it. (Gives a warning about it not being supported when you press buttons etc) I have my own TV but I'm sure some twerps out there will be happy lol.

Imagine if they could integrate the gyro of the gamepad as being the equivelant to the wiimote. You could play prime trilogy, and move around with one of the controls sticks, buy then aim around with gyro scope.

I am sorry I doubted you Nintendo. I thought that Super Mario 3D World would be ****ty because that's more or less the first impression most of us got out of that stupid E3 trailer...
But wow...



I mean... ****... they really pimped this game. It looks gorgeous, just like it should, there are some new gameplay elements and interesting stages, something that wasmmn't shown during E3.

Now I am really hyped! I can't wait for the new WiiU lineup, I just got Rayman Legends, which is great, I preordered Wind Waker HD and I am planning on buying The Wonderful 101 next week. And there are so many games I am looking forward to... Smash Bros, X, Mario Kart 8, the new Zelda title, Bayonetta 2 (**** Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze)... I'm gonna go broke...

The Mario and Luigi Wiimotes look pretty adorable.

Kinda tempted but without a matching nunchuk- I think I'll pass.

The new trailer of Super Mario 3D World makes it look amazing. My most hyped game this year other than Pok?mon X/Y. It is quite sad to see Donkey Kong pushed back, but it is probably for the best. We all saw the amount of polish Pikmin 3 got for being delayed.

The new eShop music is quite good. I like the match game while it loads, but I haven't won yet. I was hoping for some more features to be added, but at least it seems like Nintendo will be having a universal account in the future.

Download the Wonderful 101 demo, it's not even close to what the WiiU is capable of but it is still a beautiful game and there are few better examples at the moment. I believe that the games that will show off the real capabilities of the WiiU will be: X, Bayonetta 2, the ananounced Metroid game and the Zelda game. At the moment the most beautiful game on the system is probably Pikmin 3. You can also pick up Watchdogs when it comes out, they say it's better than the other current gen.


By the way, I am really curious to know how the sales of the WiiU are going now with the new bundles, the pricedrop and Wind Waker HD. Nintendo UK says that sales skyrocketed up to 685% but will this last? Mario 3D World will give the system another boost but it won't come out soon. I want numbers.

I didn't really like any of the demos I've tried so far including 101, but given the limited selection that's not super surprising. I was really hoping to at least get the demos that are on the kiosks at the store.


Anyway I'm about 12 hours into Z:WW HD and it's awesome so far. I hated the art style back in GameCube days but in HD it feels and looks right.

There are not many demos because there aren't many games. The best WiiU games out there are probably:

Pikmin 3
Wind Waker HD
Wonderful 101
Rayman Legends

You already have WW HD and there is a demo of the last 2 games, in other words, you are only missing Pikmin 3 (which is the best looking game at the moment)

I would recommend a screen protector, but you won't really need one unless you play/use a lot of games/apps that do not give you the option to control them with the Pad's buttons.

I think Wii U will certainly sell far better than usual this holiday with 3D World.

Even then, I'd say 2014 will be the true comeback year of Nintendo's HD console. Big exclusives like SSB, MK8, DKC: TF, X, Bayo2, etc. will surely bring up sales.

I'd say PS3 and 360 will be the PS4's and XBO's biggest competition this holiday. Holiday 2014 will be the true next gen battle.

Just in case any of you have issues setting up your Wii U controller to control the TV not all codes match the brand. For example I have a WestingHouse TV and I used a Samsung remote frequency. A quick google search of your TV model might help you find out which remote codes to use.

Just called to get my GamePad sent in for a problem I detailed back in December last year. I have a minor case of telephone phobia, so I kinda waited until the last minute. Oh well, I will have it back by Christmas for when I get the holiday Nintendo titles. At least I can still use my WiiMote for stuff like CoD and Wii Sports Club.

Nop, I had no issues up until now, but there is still the Youtube app.

Does anyone know when the Sonic Lost World Demo for WiiU and 3DS arrives in EU?

I'm making a list of exclusives I'd want if I would get a Wii U. So far I have this:

LoZ WindWaker HD
LoZ U
Super Mario 3D World
Mario Kart 8
Lego City Undercover
Zombi U
Pikmin 3

Anyone got a recommendation for another title that should be on this list?

ETA: I just found a couple of Dutch sites selling the Wii U Premium Pack for only €229,- instead of the regular €300,-. That's quite a difference. My mind is basically made up, I want a Wii U. But, I don't think I'm going to wait a year like I was originally planning before I buy a next gen console. I'm thinking more like half a year if not sooner.

I'd get Wonderful 101, it can be challenging and maybe a bit complicated at times, but it's still great fun. I also really enjoyed Sonic Lost World. Game & Wario is fun for the Miiverse Sketch game alone, but wait for the price to drop a bit, even if it is already somewhat cheap at $40.

I think one problem with the Wii U that isn't discussed much is well..the userbase.

I'm a Wii U owner and I don't do this, but it seems that Wii U owners whine about no games but with the games that are out/coming to the system, barely anyone buys them. And I'm not just talking about third party either because as far as I know The Wonderful 101 and Game & Wario have bombed. Of all the Wii U games released, only 2 of them(Nintendo Land and NSMB U) have sold over a million copies. The rest sold less than 700K. Buy games or don't complain.

I think part of the problem with that is that plenty of the games are missing features because developers/publishers don't think it's worth putting in the effort, usually because they think it'll sell less.

It's then cyclical, since why should a consumer want to pay the same price for an intentionally gimped (even slightly) product when it's available in a better form elsewhere?

Buy games you are not interested in just for the sake of getting developers to make games for the system? No thanks, Im not into developer charity.

The fact that the system seems to be catered for people 6-12, and 25+ is a somewhat distorted age bracket. Shame that you don't see any teens or college kids getting into the system.

Its one of those systems where it starts off slow, and then it makes its comeback. Thanks to the games, like Pikmin 3, Zelda WW HD, and Super Mario 3D World. All of which have proven themselves to be a worthy console that people should look out for.

I think it will pretty go the patterns of the 3ds, except it is seeming to go at a slower pace getting, there and then it also has two other consoles to go against with a higher reputation than the vita against the 3ds.

And I'm not just talking about third party either because as far as I know The Wonderful 101 and Game & Wario have bombed. Of all the Wii U games released, only 2 of them(Nintendo Land and NSMB U) have sold over a million copies. The rest sold less than 700K. Buy games or don't complain.
I don't agree at all. The games have sold relatively bad because the wii u has a low user base. There is a low user base because the lack of games and really good games. Games have been delayed, and other things have happened. People that bought a wii u at launch shouldn't be condomned for not wanting to buy every last game on the system just for the pure purpose for the games to make a lot of money.

Has anyone ever had this problem

- I updated my Wii U and went to go to the eshop, but it says that my wifi is not connected. I went check if anything was entered it incorrectly, and it wasn't. To be safe I deleted my connection and reentered everything. It still says it is not connected. It is not my actual wifi as I can get on with all my other devices.

Does anyone know how to fix this (keep in mind all the things when I google searched my error did not solve the problem).

Weird.

Reset your router and see if that helps.

I tried that and it did not work.

Added after 16 Hours 16 minutes:

Apparently my problem just fixed itself, as my wifi works again.

Yes, a simple google search...

It has 6 channel PCM, which translates to 5.1 at the most. 5 speakers and a subwoofer.

At most huh? That means no 7.1 or above... I wasn't thinking of more of course...
I bought a nice 300W Philips 5.1 Home Cinema system and I wanted to use it to be compatible with my WiiU so that's a relief.

soooooooooo.... Nothing new for the WiiU...
Aside from Hyrule Warriors has there been anything worth mentioning since the E3?
I wanna know that there are more games coming up. The announced titles were really good but we only have 3-4 major titles for 2014 and nothing for later. The other 2 consoles also started with a lack of titles but their lineup seems promising with new games being announced every now and then.
What do we know about the future of WiiU? That Miyamoto is working on a new IP and that there will be a massive Zelda game in 2015... That's all.

Games like X and Bayonetta2 which are gonna attract other types of fans except of dedicated Nintendo (Mario and Zelda) lovers have gained no spotlight after the E3. Instead we are being bombarded with news about Smash bros, DK Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8, which we already know what they will be like.

Well, I expect, since Super Smash Bros Melee was the best selling game on the Gamecube, I am going to guess that it might be the best selling game on the Wii U as well...

Unfortunately, neither Mario Kart nor Smash Bros really does it for me. Hyrule Warriors sounds cool, but I am not paying $60 for it.

The Wii U really needs some games OTHER than the status quo. "I" could really use a new 3D Metroid!

Mario kart 8 and Smash Bros may do the trick but I don't know if they are enough...
I believe that Nintendo will try all their mainstream titles for the WiiU in order to save it, as creating new, original IPs (Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Eternal Darkness) and remaking old forgotten ones (Metroid) didn't save the Gamecube nor can save the WiiU.

Metroid prime didn't "save" the gamecube, but its sales in the west were really good and didn't hurt it.

Yeah, I said, it didn't save it. I believe a Metroid game will fail on the WiiU. So will every other Nintendo franchise aside from the biggest ones. With such a small install base it is unlikely that smaller franchises can sell more than 200k-300k pieces...

I hope that SMT vs. Fire Emblem games turns out to be great. Hopefully it comes out in 2014. I also hope Project Cars turns out great on the Wii U. If so, I might get a Wii U this year.

When did we last hear about SMT vs fire emblem? Was it e3 2013?
And what did we see? A small ''trailer'' only showing the characters.

And when did we last hear about yarn yoshi?

Both of these game will probably come out in 2015... Well yarn yoshi has a change for 2014 as it seems easier to develop.

I think either (Yarn Yoshi and/or SMT vs. FE) still has a chance of coming out this year. Just b/c we have not heard much about either does not mean the developers have not made much progress on either of them. I would say that a late 2014 release is not out of the question.

On the other hand, I guess I am just trying to maintain optimism about their releases as I hope Nintendo is able to get the Wii U back on track. Having these games come out (as opposed to being continuously delayed like DKC) this year would definitely make for a good 2014. ^^

I actually remember during or after E3 Tezuka said in an interview that Yarn Yoshi wasn't ready to be shown yet. So I'd imagine it's still far away. I'd expect to see it again in a Nintendo Direct later on in the year, or at E3.

Well, I really don't know what to expect from Nintendo in this years E3...
Will they have a press conference or will they skip it like last year?
I know for sure that they will abuse Smash Bros as it is their biggest hope for the WiiU to sell. So expect a ton of Smash Bros content as it will be almost ready by this year's E3.
I'm just wondering what new will they bring up to the table. I certainly hope there are many announcements waiting for us and not only content of preannounced titles.
At least we know that we will learn some stuff about the next Zelda installment.

A new Metroid game isn't something out of question. We've seen many hints up until now and Retro Studios have announced that they will swift focus to Metroid after DK Tropical Freeze.

I don't really remember the source as this was somewhat old (at least two months ago) but I promise I will post it right away if I find it again.

Yeah, I saw it... It's probably a mistake. I cannot believe that Ubisoft that tries to support Nintendo that much will cancel a title that can deliver its best gameplay on the WiiU specifically for this system. They've talked so much about how the WiiU Gamepad enhances the WiiU experience and stuff. They won't cancel it.

If they do I will personally go kill them... Watchdogs is one of my most anticipated games of the year and one of the reasons I chose the WiiU so easily was because Watchdogs would be released in all consoles including the WiiU.

Bad news, I'm seeing some people comment saying that they either had a call to them or an email saying that their preorder for the games was changed to another version.

The plus side is that Wii U orders of Watch dogs went up because of the announcement.
Wii U saved?

The WiiU will not be saved by some more preorders of Watchdogs...
And how exactly did the preorders of WiiU Watchdogs rise after this false alarm? Can you please explain?

People either tried testing out to see if you could still preorder it, or preordered as a last ditch effort to not have the game cancelled.

Super Mario 3 ( would like it on the 3ds but I've accepted that it will never be released)
I don't understand some of your post but If You're going to buy a WiiU, get W101, Super Mario 3D World, NSLU (better than NSMBU, SLW doesn't exist), and Zombi U, Pikmin 3 if it's good with your style, and I don't think you can download Twilight Princess, but to recommend some downloadable games..., well.. Get the Mighty Switch force game if you don't have it for 3DS.

Twilight Princess is not a downloadable title. You shouldn't buy a WiiU to buy eShop games as the eShop is kinda weak at the moment.

Mario 64 even though I have it on my 3ds I would buy again. Old school Donkey Kong SNES was one of my favorites back in the day. Oh I think I will get a Wii U and hold off on a PS4 since there are more games I would play for the Wii U.

They probably meant that you could PLAY it in Wii Mode (with the game disc) on the Wii U. There are no downloadable Wii games on the eShop Im pretty sure.

It can play twilight princess (wii), which was technically originally a GC game. Same with Prime and prime 2.

There's some stuff about Nintendo venturing into health stuff but that's not relevant to vidyas.

I really hope the "discounts to loyal customers" comes to fruition because that would be great.

I don't think any of this is gonna make any change to how 3rd party developers percieve the WiiU. We probably won't see many of the multiplats on it but it might get some 3rd party exclusives like ZombiiU for example.
Regardless of that, the WiiU is definitely going to start selling more when a new Zelda, Smash Bros and Mario Kart 8 are released. The release of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate could help as well, but it might not happen considering its sales against the 3DS version. Plus there's not much of a point since the 3DS one will be a full version, not dumbed down like it was with 3U.

Thanks. Sounds good.

So, the QOL thing... I don't... Get it? Are they expanding their market to something that's not related to games at all? That sounds weird, almost desperate. Am I not seeing this right? halp.

Dont forget, they also "are going to have an ACCOUNT based system instead of 'tied to the hardware'" as well.

Now they need to make like Sony, and introduce a "cross buy" system of their own. If I buy Super Mario Bros on Wii U, then I should not have to buy it again, to play it on the 3DS, and vice versa...

Nintendo is a 125 year old company, you know. They've done more than just video games.

I think the QOL was inspired by the success of Wii Fit and Wii Sports. As a recall, a woman discovered she had Parkinson's after playing Wii Fit. It's not bad idea for Nintendo to diversify so they have create revenue outside of the games industry. (Sony and Microsoft are both tech giants.)

I'd like to know what they mean when saying "non-wearable" and how that is a new category. It sounds really stupid to me. Basically in the QOL part they say "Oh look, everyone is tuning to smartphones and werable technology but no, we won't provide such services. We announce our own, non-existing term, of non-wearable technology".
I really want to see where this is going...

Whoops, false alarm. I re-read what Iwata said about this, and they have no intention of giving us an account based system until their "next platform."

So it will be many years until Nintendo actually delivers on that promise. So, no chance of buying a title ONCE for all devices, instead of ONCE per device as it is now, either.

It's nice to see the Wii U is getting what appears to be a good, non-kart, arcade racing game. Coupled with a promising sim racing title (Codemaster's Project Cars), it looks like the Wii U, unlike its predecessor, will not disappoint in terms of racing titles.

Wii U only accounted for 2% of Ubisoft's game sales last quarter. This is why we can't have good third party.

Watcdogs for the WiiU will be delayed. Dick move Ubisoft. I know that WiiU isn't doing that well but you are really killing it by releasing a game that will do fairly well on the console for every other console first and for the WiiU afterwards.

Yep, and then ubi$oft will complain about bad sales. It is a good copout move on their part. The game will sell way, way worse now if and when it comes out on the wii u than if it came out at the same time. $oft will then say that those were around their projected sales from the start or some bs even though it will have no chance. I sure hope the ps4 or xbone don't for whatever hypothetical reason get in a have alump or any console the gen or ubi may do the same for them. Terrible business practices for a company that already screwed wii u owners with rayman.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just ended up cancelling the Wii U version altogether, it's practically doomed at this point (not saying it's chances of decent sales were high before the delay), and the delay will just kill all hype. With most people going for the other versions if they can't take the delay.

The PS3/360/Wii U versions of the game are gimped to begin with anyway. Watch Dogs was supposed to be a showcase for the NEXT GEN back before the PS4 and Xbone came out. So to get any version but those or PC is to not get what the developer originally envisioned...

They said that even the ps4 and xbone versions wouldnt look at the level of that first demo though.

They are still going to be on another level, over the previous gen versions, and Wii U.

That's just how it works. You manipulate whatever's on the gamepad screen. So if the menu's on the TV and the plaza's on the gamepad, you'll be able to do things in the plaza but not on the menu.

With wii remotes and other controllers, you can control the menu while it's on the tv while a gamepad user messes around with the plaza.

Hope that helps.

Just sold my Wii U, but to my best friend so I can always come visit it. Better at his house since all my friends gather there, and there is a 65" big screen ready to go for Smash.

Ok guys, hold your pants cause a new METROID game is coming!

Retro developers in an interview yesterday were saying that the WiiU is a powerhouse if used correctly and among others they mentioned that they have been working on another game for some months.

Retro just finished developing DKC TF and is the developer behind the latest DK and Metroid titles. So I assume that now that they made a DK game they will start working on their other big franchise, Metroid.
They have also mentioned in an interview that they will try to focus on Metroid after DKCTF.

I am almost certain that we will hear of a new Metroid title in this year's E3...Yay!

It's funny because the last time people thought a new Metroid was being made, we got Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

Well all jokes aside, they made it sound pretty clear that this one definitely isnt dk, and if it isnt metroid, I would guess it would just be some small random sports game or minigame thing or something.

Well, I am expecting big things from Retro, not small projects like sports and mini games.
Now that they made their DK game, the only remaining big project is Metroid.

We will probably learn at E3.
We also know that there are 2 more unannounced games in development from Nintendo, so 3 overall.
I am really curious about the new franchise Miyamoto is working on at the moment.

It is confirmed that they are working on a new game, we just assume it is Metroid. And this time we can be a little more optimistic as DK is out of the way and because of what Miyamoto said.

It is pretty much obvious that they would be working on something else. And Miyamoto's comment doesn't mean anything unfortunately. I would love another Metroid Prime but Im not holding my breath.

It's not like it has to be Metroid just because they worked on that before. Nobody expected them to suddenly start on a Donkey Kong game before Returns. Who knows? They could now be set on making Starfox or F-Zero. Personally I'd be more happy to see a new F-Zero than another Metroid Prime.

Don't you think that there are way more 2D platformers on the WiiU than needed at the moment?
Plus you will get a 2D Metroid clone in a while in the eShop AND I believe that the futuristic world of Metroid will be much better portrayed in HD if it is in 3D.

By the way, Ubisoft said there will be big news about WATCHDOGS this week.

If we can get all of those 2d games, we can get 2d metroid too. That is the one series right now that needs a 2d game. I would be weary how well a new 3d metroid would be made.

And the news will probably be just about some launch day dlc or something

And the news will probably be just about some launch day dlc or something
I'm guessing the Watch Dogs news will be related to a release date. A date of June 30th was leaked from the PSN store last week.

No, if those two games don't make a difference then that will be it. There won't be another chance.

Wii U: It plays GBA games!

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201..._on_april_17th



On a serious note, at least most of those titles are first-rate. If I had a Wii U, I would get Advance Wars, Golden Sun and M & L: Superstar Saga.

It's about time we got GBA games.

Golden Sun is by far the best game for GBA. By far. I might actually get it, but only if they announce The Lost Age as well.

Not sure what the fact that I own all those games says about me. Ah well, might end up picking up Advance Wars anyways just because I like it so much.

I would rather have these on the 3DS. Or on BOTH (like the cross buy feature of the PS3/Vita)

It should just be crossbuy through nintendo network because the 3ds is capable of running everythinf the wii u can for the VC, but you know how Nintendo is sometimes....

SO any ideas/hopes for what the upcoming NFC titles are? I can see one of them being that new IP Miyamoto kept talking about.
