If you start playing Wii-U wormskull, you'll never go back to World of Warcraft or maybe even PC gaming as a whole. Measure these consequences before you buy games like Mario kart 8, Smash brothers, Hyrule Warriors, and Bayonetta.

By the way if you're getting Hyrule Warriors, get a second controller of any type just so you can play co-op and have the other player character rush thru the low level missions and break poo poo for your lesser skilled guy.

I have video going through hdmi and audio going through a Wii composite cable and it lets you do that which is cool imo.

That didn't work when I tried it.

I'm not quite sure if it's working for me. Is the menu and stuff supposed to come through the gamepad or the speakers.

you can turn the gamepad sound off on the top, which is usually what I do if the tv is on

I don't even get how it's happening. I have 2 sensor bars plugged into two different consoles, the gamepad, and two monitors. The Wii is connected to one monitor, and the Wii U is connected to the other one. If I point at the gamepad which is on the other side of me, it works on the Wii monitor screen. Or if I point at the sensor bar over the Wii U monitor... Christ. Nintendo, you glorious bastards.

the gamepad is neat but I can't help but wonder how many more sales nintendo would get if they removed it from the box and dropped the price $100. none of the good games nor the system requires you to use it

Did anyone test that 3rd party battery to see if it lasts longer than the normal 3 hours?

The Wii-U pro controller is great, but it's still not patched in to be able to launch the system.

I think you would have to buy/transfer it from the regular wii first

you should be able to play it on the gamepad after

the controller range isn't great through walls tho
