Cialis Railman posted:So let me get this straight--with this new update I don't have to get the Wii classic controller to play Wii games with a controller, right? I can just use the Gamepad? Because with the current near-gameless state of the Xbone and PS4 (And the price drops and awesome-looking bundles) the WiiU is looking pretty good, and there's a bunch of good-looking Wii games that I want to play, but I was concerned that I would have to buy two controllers--the classic for Wii games and the pro controller for the WiiU. I love spending money, but jesus. Sorry, you can use the gamepad as a screen but you can not use it as a controller. I have no idea if the gamepad counts as a sensor bar to point the wiimote at, but regardless it's pretty much completely useless unless being scrunched up with the gamepad sitting on your knees like Seabhac described sounds appealing to you.

For what it's worth I don't think anyone has been able to use the Gamepad with Wii homebrew either, so it's probably harder than it seems. I think Nintendo would have to actually update the original Wii's firmware to support/recognize it? And that's obviously on the backburner. e: I think eventually you will be able to use the Gamepad in Wii Mode but given the work they'd have to do you probably won't see it until the Spring or Summer.

I love how loving invested people are in Nintendo sales figures. Like, why do you personally care how well a system does? Even better is when people brag about it. Like, really? Really guy? I just like videogames.

If it seeks poorly there won't be more in the future, or you'll be buying the next Nintendo console with only first-party titles (more so than today).

Raserys posted:Super Mario 3D World is a good game that I like playing! Last night my partner was in a really bad mood, like really, really awful. I finally convinced him to play SM3DW with me as something to do. After a half hour we were laughing and joking and having an amazing time and he wasn't in a bad mood anymore. Super Mario 3D World is basically what would happen if you took the emotion "Joy" and made it into a video game. It's so much fun, doubly so in multiplayer.

PRADA SLUT posted:If it seeks poorly there won't be more in the future, or you'll be buying the next Nintendo console with only first-party titles (more so than today). I kinda do that anyway. I think most of us do. The most common statement I heard with Wii is "Wii360/PSWii" where people got a Wii to compliment the other systems. If the Wii U was $100 less people would probably do the same. For a lot of people, they hope all of the good third party stuff just gets released on PC.

E: Or just pick a pokemon, level it up, maybe it evolves or something, buy items, destroy towers/gyms/whatever. This is probably getting dangerously close to derail territory.

greatn posted:Ok, a what does that entail though? What would a Pokemon "moba" be like? Are you familiar with tower defense games? It is like that except instead of positioning towers, you have pre-defined towers and control single heroes who fight to protect their own and take down the enemies. It began from a Warcraft 3 Mod and most MOBAs play similar to the Hero units in that.

The only launch console that I can think was completely worth it in the first year was the Super Nintendo. Final Fantasy II came out on my birthday right after I finished Super Mario World and by the time I was done obsessing over it, there was a ton of games out. Of course, back in those days you rarely purchased games. Most games were rented. Before I was buying games used I only had maybe 8 SNES games that were purchased. But I probably played 200+ SNES games due to rentals.

Watch_Dogs is going to be on the PC and Persona 5 is going to be on the PS3, so right now there's only one game for the PS4 that I want (MGS5), and that's not coming until next year. And it might be coming for the PC anyway! Meanwhile, there's a bunch of WiiU exclusives that I think look good and a whole catalog of Wii games that I wanted to play but never did because I never bought a Wii, plus no less than three bundles for under $400 that come with games I want.

Oh, I misread the post. Working on four-ish hours of sleep, here.  So I will have to buy two controllers? Nerts.  Ah, well. It's not like they're particularly expensive.

They're definitely not for everyone  They are insanely popular though. For reference, Dota 2 is still way, way behind LoL in terms of active users and it still peaks at over 500,000 concurrent users every day.

The gamepad's sensor bar works fine. It's disappointing that the pads buttons cant act as Classic Controller #1 or something like that, but it seems understandable. Making the Wii games show up on the pad sounds like a relatively simple case of a system-level "output to wireless transmitter doohicky instead of just HDMI," while something like "use a controller that didnt even exist when game was made" would be a lot more work considering that Wii games were entirely self contained. Practically nothing was done on the system level and the games couldnt even be patched. Not saying impossible, but its likely more effort than Nintendo thinks its worth.
