I've read five reviews which assume this would be an action FPS and not a survival horror FPS.

Just garbage reviews basically.

Yeah. That gamespot one was cringe-worthy.

People who buy a deluxe get some kind of flag on their account that gives them a 5$ coupon for every 50$ they spend in the eShop.

I could have sworn the only Wiimotes you could use across the entire system were Motion Plus. But maybe I'm wrong.

So I'm really enjoying ZombiU so far. I'm not far into it but it seems really cool. Does it go to poo poo later on or something?

The problem doesn't seem to be that it goes to poo poo, but that it doesn't go to anywhere new or interesting as it progresses.

It's a game all about surviving as long as you can, which comes down to using your bat on everything since you never get adequate amounts of ammo or upgrades to take on bigger more interesting challenges...and there aren't any bigger or more interesting challenges. The whole game has roughly the same constant difficulty level.

I can't imagine how bad Dark Souls would be if every area had the same enemies as Undead Burg, and you could screw around with more powerful weapons for a few swings before they broke and you were stuck with the default short sword.

Dammit. I picked up another Motion Plus to compliment the Zelda one because I was under that impression. Oh well, at least I have another one of those for the games that do require it.

So I went and added a couple of people from the ID thread. I guess you don't get notifications when someone requests you as a friend? Some people had already added me and now we're friends since I added them. But others say provisionally registered friend. I'm guessing that they haven't added me. Weird.



Is there any sort of guide for using an external drive? I have a WD Passport that I can't get the console to recognize for the life of me.

I'll check this out if you added me. I'm a bit further down in the post, and I already added you. It's weird though because I'm watching the GB thread and he's getting notifications when people add him. Is there a setting we're missing?

Weird. I DEFINITELY added you. But it still says you're provisional, so I guess you do have to add me manually?

They said it looked pretty much the same and had some framerate stutter that the other versions had.

It's really random. I've gotten one notification while the other 4 I didn't.

Strange. Well, I added you as well. Maybe it's gotta do with how the system is kind of wonky today. The GB guy has like 10-15 pending requests.

That's odd, I bought a 2TB WD Elements for the occasion and it works fine. Only odd thing so far is when I came back from the store after leaving the Wii U on idle on the login screen I had an error saying USB storage disconnected and had to unplug the system to reboot it.

Why does this thing drop my wifi connection ? Also, where does one go to see the wifi settings ? My other devices have full bars and never lose a signal, this thing can't stay tuned in.

If it had an Ethernet port I would plug it into that, so that I could keep a connection going, but apparently Ethernet is dumb and everything is wifi now. Now if only the Wii had a half decent antenna.

Tried that and it's still cropped off. I was able to fix it on the shop channel and mii verse, but stuff like the main menu and Mighty Switch Force just don't give me the option and get cropped out.

About Batman, the GB guys just said that it is "a bad version of this game," and that the framrate is "poor."

The port wasn't done by Rocksteady, and it seems to have suffered for it.
