Is it true Smash runs at 1080p and 60fps? I've seen that stated places but I feel like there's no way.

Yeah, as I said, I've played the original, I just haven't played it in a long time and have been wanting to replay it and playing the sequel first might make me less likely to ever do that. Plus the costumes should be fun.

And I definitely am not replaying it for the story seeing as I thought the story in the original was horrid.

By the way, while the game runs better than the PS3 version, somehow it apparently still runs worse than the 360 version.

That's not actually true.

I never finished Bayonetta 1 (they announced they were including an upgraded version while I was in the middle of it!) so I'm doing the whole saga.

I think I know the one you're talking about and it's actually a product of the comparison video being made in Japan, where the Wii U remake was available - Japanese televisions process colors slightly differently than ours or something, so the comparison shot makes the picture come out all muddy.

The differences between the original and the remake are functionally nil, except that the remake has less screen tear.

I can't believe that people in general think that the Wii U isn't worth it and in the same thought say that the PS4 or Xbone is. The PS4 might be around February, but right now a good PC and Wii U is where it's at.

I think it means that if you play games as good as those, you'll hate bad ones because of how much worse they are. I'm inclined to agree.

It is in Europe, it was up the second I started downloading 2.
Note that the eShop specifically mentions downloading both on the same wiiu, so it might not apply to the physical game?

See I can understand people being huge tight arse in their stupid children's hobby and I can understand people not liking those two games, but making a big thing out of $10 just doesn't seem that impressive.

That's like an hour of work. Maybe if it was a bigger number it would be a more impressive counterpoint?

Well I think I just got sold on a Wii u. Bayonetta 1 and 2 ( never got to play them but im a platinum fan ), Smash ( SYSTEM SELLER HYPE LEVELS EXCEEDED ), and honestly an HD remake of Wind Waker are 3 things i cant go without. Thats kinda the milestone i rate a system by. If it has 3 things i absolutely want, its worth getting.

I just have one question. How necessary is it to hook up the Wii U to a bigger screen? Does it function out of the box with the gamepad screen?

Not all games mirror the top screen to the gamepad.

I think you need it hooked up to a TV to set it up, and you definitely need a TV to use Wii mode if they haven't changed that in a recent update, but other than that, no.

I recently did an international move and our furniture hasn't arrived, so i've been using my Wii U as a defacto internet and gaming machine. It's plugged into a power socket and nothing else in one of the rooms we're temporarily renting for the next week or two for reasons, and I can use it just fine.

The games do look FAR better with a screen, and pretty amazing with a decent sized HD screen, to be honest.

It's not a big deal. I genuinely think those two games are poo poo and Bayonetta is only worth $10 in my eyes. Hell, if someone offered me $5 and a McChicken for the game, I'd give it to them with no hesitation.

Sorry you guys love this game and I don't. :allears:
