Have they said anything about whether the Wii U will do UPnP/DLNA yet? This is like the tipping point for the fence I am on about this console/

Maybe online gaming is the only way for him to be able to play games with anyone? No, there's no way. I live in my basement and have no friends and nothing to do but whine about Nintendo's rear end-backwards approach to online. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Boten Anna posted:The appeal of a midnight launch is that they are fun StreetPass/Mario Kart parties and also it's a known quantity. I'd much rather stay up late and have a fun party and know I'm getting a system then spend a week or two memorizing the shipment times of every store in the area until I luck out. I forgot about the streetpass stuff. Now I think I'll go by a couple stores that will have midnight launches around 11pm and collect a few.

If I transfer from my Wii to the WiiU, will everything still remain on the Wii? Is it a copy, or is it a straight-up transfer?

I just don't understand why this tablet attachment for the Wii requires the friend codes to be twice as long! It's already bad enough that Nintendo is forcing all games to require local multiplayer only using camera facial recognition. Cancelling all 5 preorders.

I heard with the next console, the Wii Us, you will only be able to play multiplayer with those who share a blood relation to you. There's a syringe built into the console for drawing blood.

It is now, four days before release, that I greatly regret not pre-ordering and now want to buy a deluxe Wii-U. Hopefully Nintendo has regular shipments going out and doesn't have the same issue they did with the Wii, making it impossible to find for months.

Re: Coin Battles and custom coin placements: You just know that kids are going to love the hell out of this mode. Make a Mario level (or as close as we've ever gotten before) and play it with friends? That's the sort of thing children will love to play with for a long time. Will it be of much use to me? Probably not. I'll probably mess around with it a little but just because it's not 100% useful to me doesn't mean I'm going to write it off as useless.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:No, I have a smart phone The GamePad definitely won't be replacing anyone's mobile device, but a smart TV with a dedicated tablet interface is pretty cool, especially with the IR-blaster. It's part of the living room. It's confined to the home, but it has the advantage of its native connection to the TV and other devices. If they get RSS and some kind of crossword or sudoku app, it might very well become the first device I turn on in the morning.

Oh well, the game was okay at best, and at this point cheaper buying a used PSP AND the Final Fantasy IV Complete then buying all the dlcs out for it.

I was under the impression that VC and Wiiware games on the console will transfer, but ones on an SD card may have to be redownloaded.

I'm not sure, but the "Wii U" TTT2 Hori/Madcatz stick is just a rebranded Wii stick that has to tether to a Wiimote and everything, so I'd imagine Classic Controller support is in there.

Does a system launch normally get a subforum? Any chance of that happening this time? There will be lots of individual game threads I'm sure, probably a network ID exchanging thread, trobleshooting, etcetera.

The single-touch interface would instantly render it the most obsolete, crippled mini-tablet on the market today. It sounds lame, but what I'm most excited about is having the tablet to sort through my inventory on the fly in the inevitable Dark Souls 2, should it arrive on the Wii U. I know it's not a very imaginative use of the tablet, but it would be a godsend for what essentially would be the only game I would play for the following year.

No matter how much you try to deny it, a single touch, resistive tablet is outdated tech for the sake of keeping the price of the console down. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad thing, I fits the bill in terms of being a cool controller for the WiiU; it would just be terrible at being anything but.
