FPzero posted:I'm thinking of getting Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper and Scribblenauts Unlimited but I want to know if they both have Gamepad only capabilities. If not, I'll probably still pick them up but I've fallen in love with Gamepad only functionality on games. I've been playing the hell out of scribblenauts unlimited on gamepad only. It has a little checkbox in its option menu for it.

I'm thinking of moving the Wii sensor bar to the top of my TV. How straight does it need to be? The top edge of the television is very narrow, so the bar will probably be tilting slightly up or down.

Did some people say they didn't like the Youtube app? I really like it. It's nice and clean. Way less screen clutter. Makes Youtube feel like Netflix. I dig it!

As long as it is horizontal you are fine.

The top edge of the television is very narrow, so the bar will probably be tilting slightly up or down. I believe the sensor bar is just a couple of LEDS, so the angle of the bar should not affect it's accuracy. Obviously if it's pointed at the ceiling or the floor the "light" won't make it to the controller, but as long as it's close to pointing at the controller you should be good.

It's the same as the YouTube app for the PS3 which was barely functional but usable to put YouTube videos on your TV. The problem is that it lacks basic functions like showing you channels and related videos and the search interface is worse than Bing. Making things worse for the WiiU version is how the WiiU's web browser is much better at displaying YouTube videos than the YouTube app. It does everything that the app doesn't, has better display options for the video, and a better interface.

Underwhelmed posted:Two sided tape is your friend. Or just a piece of normal tape wrapped in a loop sticky-side out. Nintendo Land was a big hit with the nephew but he said playing NSMBU with the gamepad felt weird. Can you play it single player with just a Wiimote or do you have to use the gamepad?

I guess there isn't a way to watch the videos on the Gamepad so Unlucky7 is right that sucks. As for channels and related videos, what do you mean? It shows up for me. You hit down on the D-pad and can scroll related videos, uploads for channel, search results, etc.

Bombadilillo posted:And nobody wants to get kicked out of a game when the WiiU starts to autoinstall when a download finishes. The choice is between playing during the 2 hour download or not playing anything and getting a 2 and a half hour and not having to press a button. It cannot install in background. Arguably it wouldn't kick you out of the game either. All the install is doing is extracting a compressed file, why couldn't it run in the background as a very low level process if you were playing a game. All I'm saying is the process was not very polished and just stood out to me. In my case it was me waiting for the game to download for like 2 hours, coming down to check on it and being prompted to "install" the game which made me wait another half hour.

The main problem I have with the Youtube app is that the framerate is junk. Seriously, compare a video playing in the app to a video on a computer, it's all stuttery and poo poo. The web browser doesn't have this problem at all.

Bombadilillo posted:I havent played 3 on other systems but compared to the last 4 games on other consoles this is visually amazing. Its smooth as butter. I don't know what framerate issues people were talking about in some reviews because its very good on my WiiU. I don't know what your definition of "smooth as butter" is, but AC3 on my Wii U is decidedly anything but. That's not to say it runs poorly or is unplayable, but I've seen the framerate drop into the 20s on multiple occasions and the pop-up can be pretty jarring at times. Like you, I have no frame of reference for how it runs on the other systems, but I seem to remember AC2 running smoother on the PS3 than this.

Your experiences what the reviews I read said. I have not seen that at all. Console inconsistency? It's no like I am championing the game. I have a lot of complaints, but those are all gameplay related. Graphically it's been great for me.

The Wii U version is actually missing lighting and particle effects due to time constraints on the developer. Hopefully those features along with performance optimizations will show up in an update.

Ok so I went ahead and bought the system. I was gonna get the rayman game as it was demoed there, but turns out that isn't out yet. So I ended up not getting a game. Thankfully I got the 32g version, which comes with nintendo land. I have got to say, nintendo land is a lot better than I had hoped. It's leaps and bounds above the sports resorts games.

Don't bother though, watching youtube on the browser is superior in every way.

Mannnn... I didn't think I'd have so much trouble trying to find a deluxe system in Chicago. All the Targets around me have a basic occasionally, but nowhere else I've been have any. Do Gamestops ever have any in or all they all reserved for the next month solid?

Ok what the gently caress I'm playing Ninja Gaiden and on the second level in a small enclosed area that looks like a bar there's a rocket launcher enemy that CANNOT BE TARGETED. No matter where I jump from or where I attack him Ryu refuses to hit him with an arrow. It's the last enemy I need to kill before moving on. What the gently caress is going on?

The problems is that you are playing Ninja gaiden 3! I'm so sorry In all seriousness. Dodge a lot and kill everyone else and autotarget when no other enemies argument there with bow.

The game's buggy as hell and the WiiU version was pretty much an attempt at a new coat of pain on an already-bad game. It's nice they tried, but the results were only mildly less woeful.

Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:Thank God you did a diagram on how to stick something with blue tack, I don't think anyone would have understood Just because there is a post button, doesn't always mean you should use it. Anyway, just traded in some vita games as EB are doing an extra 40% on trades towards the Wii U, traded in 3 games for more than I paid for them. I'm actually starting to get a little excited now. Does anyone know if that Aliens : Colonial Marines collectors edition that's on ps3/360 will be coming to Wii U?

Unlucky7 posted:To be completely fair, it runs like poo poo occasionally on my PS3 version too. Don't wanna stress this too much, but you really need to remember that the PS3 is 6 years old. The Wii U is a week old running the same software. It should be running some measure better on this no matter how you look at it. Doesn't have to be 60fps, but it really shouldn't be compared to a 6 year old system on performance issues.
