Can the resistive touch screen of my Wii U recognize different types of farts? I'm assuming I'd control it with farts.

It'd a little weird to complain the only thing Ducktales does with the gamepad is mirroring the screen for off screen play, when in fact this little thing definitively makes it the best version of the game. There being a map means they actually did more with the gamepad than Nintendo did on their own signature, best selling title New Super Mario.

Well I finished Pikmin 3 so my WiiU goes back to gather dust until something else comes out for it. Still not seeing any revolutionary uses for the Gamepad in that game... "displaying a map" is going to be the new "waggle" isn't it?

Nintendo already did 2 screens with the DS years and years ago, I'm not sure why they thought forcing 2 screens on a home system would work out any better. Cyra posted:I'm always a little fascinated by how much people who either don't like or don't own the Wii U can't seem to stop talking about it. I'd like to like it! I've owned most other Nintendo systems and I love their handhelds. I bought a Wii more or less for Super Smash Bros and now that 3DS is getting their own smash bros I can safely pretend that Nintendo only has 1 console out. Also for off-screen gaming if my wife is watching TV or something there are handhelds and iPads and such, plus I think the PS4 is going to be able to do it across every game. I'm actually kind of relieved they seem to be focusing more on the 3DS because this way I don't need a Wii U. THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 13:47 on Aug 14, 2013 |

You'll need to be one of the ten people who own a Vita for that though. And the one-up Sony has on Nintendo is you can play PS4 games via internet anywhere in the world. Yeah, there'll be a fair bit of lag, but being able to play PS4 RPGs and Tactics games while I'm travelling for work is gonna be pretty cool.

I find it incredibly distracting to always have the mirrored TV image on the Game Pad when playing NSMBU. They could have at least did the thing where you press select and you get the 3DS style second screen with basic map. I can appreciate the little things down there on the Game Pad. It's not what convinced me to get a Wii U, but I liked playing the Wonderful 101 demo and having the morphs only a glance away. Reminds me of playing a fighting game and how I'd keep pausing and go into a moves menu to remind myself how to do some move...

If anything, I hope the Wii U's poor sales motivates Nintendo to make some fantastic games for it like the N64 and Gamecube, rather than just coasting off the success of games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit. They've lost the casual audience to facebook, phones and tablets, so the only way to get their console out of the gutter is for them to make games people will buy the console for.

Right, but since the PS4 has a dedicated streaming chip the lag when you're using the Vita as you would a WiiU tablet will probably be negligible. Being able to play certain genres when away from home is just a bonus.

When I wrote my complaint I wasn't aware of the map ability and figured it was like NSMBU or all the virtual console games. Having the screen mirrored is obnoxious and makes me not use the game pad because all the movement distracts me when I'm trying to play on tv.

Being able to play certain genres when away from home is just a bonus. The video encoding for Remote Play on the PS3 is all done in software, so the hardware encoder on the PS4 is going to be much faster. The Vita also has dedicated hardware video encoders and decoders, so as long as the wireless interface between the two systems is good, then it should be able to match the Wii U GamePad. Hopefully the hardware video encoders and decoders, along with the low response time of the DualShock 4, will make Remote Play more usable over the internet too. E: I hope that Nintendo finds a way to let you use the GamePad remotely, but it might not be possible. It would need the ability to boot some sort of firmware that would let it connect to the internet and search for your Wii U.

I will be shocked if Sony finds a way to give a lag free experience over the internet considering that I still experience lag to make watching TV shows frustrating with a Slingbox over a T1 line.

Of course it isn't going to be lag free, but there are amounts of lag that you accept, especially over the internet and say "This is fast enough". I mean that's fine for a ton of genres like action/adventure, rpgs, non-twitch platformers, puzzle games, and such.

I mean that's fine for a ton of genres like action/adventure, rpgs, non-twitch platformers, puzzle games, and such. LCD TVs introduce a ton of input delay due to all the image processing they do, so being streamed to a device with its own built-in screen can actually have less input delay overall, for instance the GamePad sometimes being a little bit ahead of the TV. In some instances, games played through Gaikai and Onlive can have input latencies on par with 30 fps console games, so unless you're playing Street Fighter IV professionally, you might not even notice. flyboi posted:And I'm one of two that own both!!

 I just started up the 3DS Fire Emblem and found this. The touchscreen is noninteractive and the top screen covers up a polygonal scene in order to present a keyboard that would be nicer to use with touch. This is a first party title on their second portable system with a touchscreen. There are plenty of touch-based keyboards in their other titles and in their system software, so this just seems really sloppy. I think the touchscreen on the Wii U was a bad idea for Nintendo in particular because they have poor and inconsistent judgement when it comes to actually using the hardware gimmicks that they've spent so much money and effort to put into their systems. See also: putting a wiimote cursor in the Mario Galaxy games and any game with waggle controls.

I don't see why they went to the effort to port the games to a console with such a small userbase, when just modifying the existing PS3 release with the translated versions would have sold more copies from die-hard Yakuza fans alone. That's where the established fan base is, after all.

It'd be a shame if they interpreted it as people not caring about Yakuza, because it's really just the fault of the WiiU.

Well, The sales of Yakuza 5 should tell them that people still love Yakuza. I think this will show them the reaction to HD collections on the WiiU (that aren't overpriced).

According to the NPD Neogaf sales thread, the Wii U sold around 29,000 units this July. But sales will probably be better in August due to Pikmin 3, so there's a glimmer of hope there.

And quite frankly I found it to be a step back from the previous 2.

Maybe not, but Ubisoft announced they weren't planning a sequel for ZombiU because of the terrible sales. And that Rayman Legends was switched from exclusive to multiplatform because of the same.
