excel_excel Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) If I can get it at €300 for the Premium pack I'll be getting it. Launch line up is fairly decent and even the downloabable launch titles are looking great. No problem waiting to preorder, no doubt there'll be better offers coming out in the weeks up to launch.

FredEffinChopin Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I plan to watch how their first year plays out. If they're actually walking the walk (as far as catering to the "hardcore" with their library) then there is a good chance of my buying one. It's impossible to say right now. Bayonetta is a great sign. Most of the other signs point to a slightly less underwhelming Wii experience though. I'm more receptive than I had expected I would be at this point. Of course announcements regarding a new Xbox or Playstation could be the end of my consideration. I really want to get a gauge for whether or not one of these consoles is going to be the odd one out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the poll I said I'd get one when the price drops, but more accurately I'll get one when it reaches a critical mass of games that I want. There's not really one specific franchise that would sell it to me except Zelda (which won't happen for years) or Pokemon (which won't happen at all) so I didn't select that answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, use it wisely. Also, I'll buy one at some point. Not necessarily waiting for a price drop, but waiting for the value to be there for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I will treasure it forever, thank you. Here, have one for forcing me to shamefully look up the word gerund. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Gutted Rayman Origins is postponed until next year as I'd pre-ordered it as a launch title for £20. Still, I'll keep in mind Miyamoto's quote: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." but that means I'll have to rethink my pre-order again.

excel_excel Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah Rayman Legends delay sucks. That was probably looking like the best title for launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Apparently the new Mario game wont run at 1080p like Nintendo said it would. Its weird considering the game is basically an upscaled NSMBWii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah, pretty sure my phone should be able to run that at 1080p. Kidding... mostly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its weird considering the game is basically an upscaled NSMBWii. I can't remember if it was from a game dev or nintendo or what but apparently for most games it's either 720/60fps or 1080/30fps.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm sure I read somewhere non of nintendo's launch window games are 1080p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is 1080p, but at the same time all I've read is that the 3DS version runs at 60 fps in full 3D. I swear I read that the WiiU version is 60 fps too, but I keep finding 3DS sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 There are a few 1080p games, e.g Black Ops 2, Nano Assault, I meant specifically Nintendo developed specifically, e.g Pikmin, NSMB U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Nah, just joining in on the 1080p discussion. Does anyone know of a good 2.5 SATA HDD enclosure? I'm looking around because I figure my old 2.5 SATA from my deceased PS3 will be my future WiiU's external HDD. EDIT: Nevermind, I found myself something.

Black Ops 2 is most likely just upscaling to 1080p from 720p or even lower depending on its actual rendering resolution. If they've got the actual game at native 1080p on Wii U that would be encouraging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Official Teardown of Internal Components and Wii Comparison Yeah, yeah, you hate IGN, but at least follow the links to the Iwata Asks presentation. Basically, all the parts we know about shown and in their designated layout along with comparisons to similar Wii features and parts. EDIT: Also, I would buy a transparent WiiU over any color!

FMW Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am very excited about the headphone jack built into the controller. The ability to play in a public place without the horrid/embarrassing writing and porn sounding grunting sound effects will be a blessing. Honestly, maybe THAT is the best reason for Bayonetta 2 to be on the Wii U. The nonsensical narrative and "sexy" (creepy) special attacks can now be kept on your controller and in your earbuds.

FMW Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Living rooms, dorm rooms, TVs shared with house mates... really any circumstance other than having your own private television set hidden away in your own private bedroom. I know that for many that is not a realistic circumstance. I know for me it has never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
