Light Gun Man posted:Girlfriend is playing Bayonetta 1 right now and holy poo poo the Wii U disc drive is making a lot of noise, mostly during cutscenes. Anyone else getting that? Yea, only with Bayonetta 1, though. Thanks for assuring me it's probably not just my refurbished Wii U dying.

I can't believe I'm thinking about getting one of these, but I am. However, the region lock is still holding me back. Is there any sign that there's going to be a workaround someday?

Suspicious Cook posted:I loved Route 666, but mainly because the After Burner theme is ultra rad. The wiimote + classic controller is compatible. That's what I've been using. Makes the button mashing QTE parts easier too. My Wii U's silent while playing Bayonetta 1.

Neo Rasa posted:Regarding the Bayonetta 1 QTEs, on 360 at least they are random but with only one or possibly two variations for each one. Certain very dramatic ones are pre-set though. RE4 is the same way. I'm pretty sure none of the QTEs are random, what ones are you guys talking about?

I could be wrong, but if you move abroad you can still access your home regional digital store for games. While I was in europe I regularly used my american psn account to buy poo poo, since the exchange rate was so ludicrous.

Anyway, I want to play Bayonetta 2 and a few other exclusives, but hardware-wise Nintendo has always known how to piss me off in a few different ways; the region lock is just one of them.

Is there any sign that there's going to be a workaround someday? I booked one for collection tomorrow in a store here in Ireland that has started selling the 8gb ones off relatively cheap with Mario Bros. I think now is the exact right time to buy one and i have no interest in Bayonetta. Get one and complete/start the holy trinity of PC/PS4/WiiU that will get you through the next 5 years of non-handheld gaming.

Do I need a Wiimote to play all Wii games, or only ones that didn't support the classic controller? Also, how do they look when running through the WiiU?

The games look slightly better. However you need a Wiimote. You can't use any WiiU controllers right now. (Even though the game will display on the gamepad)

Classic controllers plug into Wiimotes so you 100% need one for games that let you entirely play with the classic controller.

Why does it always have to be this way with Nintendo? Every time I think I've found something about their hardware that has no obnoxious arbitrary limitation on it, this happens. edit: vvv they're the ones I liked because I hate the Wiimote and everything it stands for.

The only reason I am considering a WiiU is because they ditched that particular gimmick and replaced it with one I care about somewhat less. Are we talking about the Wiimote, Playstation Move, or Xbox Kinect.

You can play to Wii games on Wii U with a WII Classic Controller, but not with the Gamepad or a WIIU Pro Controller.

Samurai Sanders posted:Are they running on original Wii hardware in there somewhere? If not, I figured it would be easy to map the classic controller's functions onto a WiiU controller. Don't they have more or less the same arrangement of buttons? It might be frustrating, but just think of it like you've gotten a free wii with your Wii U. If you want to use it, you need Wii stuff. Which you might still think sounds crap, but if you compare it to other recent consoles, it's one of the few parts of the system you can argue they're actually offering a lot more.

Shelf Adventure posted:As far as I recall, they've changed the way they communicate with the console. When it goes into Wii mode it essentially turns into a Wii so new functions aren't available to it. Maybe I'll give it a try for a while, if Wal-Mart has the same return policy on game consoles as other stuff. I have never bought game stuff from Wal-Mart before.

Having a wii remote is pretty recommended, especially if you're gonna be doing any couch co-op. And most games have multiple controller options. I preferred using the remote + nunchuck setup for Pikmin 3 since it was much more precise than the gamepad.

I handled the gamepad briefly at a friend's house but I can't imagine how it would be for a high speed action game. It's ok for the game, but you'll probably want to grab a Wii U Pro controller, it's pretty much the 360 pad with the face buttons and right stick switched and better triggers.

Random rear end question: will the Gamecube controller adapter be region free? I imported a controller bundle from Japan and just realized the very real possibility that Nintendo would be so stupid as to region lock it. They locked the Pro Controller and Gamepad so

Samurai Sanders posted:You mean to say it doesn't work with the gamepad at all? Are there other games like that? No, it works with the gamepad fine. My problem was that it works with a Wiimote but it doesn't work with a classic controller (which is a controller you plug into a Wiimote). The Wiimote controls were also absurdly terrible. If I wanted to play multiplayer (which is what I bought HW for), I pretty much needed a WiiU Pro Controller.

They locked the Pro Controller and Gamepad so Up until this point, hardware accessories have been region free. It hasn't changed with the Wii U so far and they've not mentioned any intention to change, so you'll probably be alright.

The Pro Controller isn't region locked.  One of the ways people get cheap-ish ones here is to get Japanese ones off Play Asia. The shipping price is pretty steep, so it's only worth it if you buy two or more, but if you do it's a lot cheaper than they are normally.

I handled the gamepad briefly at a friend's house but I can't imagine how it would be for a high speed action game. Gamepad works pretty well for Bayonetta. I think I prefer the classic controller because I've been able to spin the stick and consistently get max punishment in the QTE more often, but haven't had trouble performing any moves with either. I played a few chapters on a friend's Wii U yesterday, but it only took me an hour to catch up on mine yesterday while playing on the pad with South Park on the TV.
