Sorry for the stupid question but I might be getting a Wii U and I'm excited like a 10 year old. How much real 1080p is the console dishing out so far? I'm hoping all the menus, art, and streaming are nice and crisp.

Seeing Steam mentioned here/everywhere is getting beyond old. I don't care about Steam. Sales are cool and all but still, don't care. How's Ninja Gaiden? I know it's a revamp of a supposedly terrible game but is it still worth it if I want a good gory hack and slash on the Wii U? Honestly if its 60 fps, controls well, and is generally fun then I think it's what I want.

The 360 version is technically the best if you have multiple platforms. The colors are slightly more vivid and it has full surround sound if that matters. The PS3 doesn't for some reason. Really is great no matter what you get it on though. Bobnumerotres posted:Not a hint of sarcasm. I really think it's absolutely loving incredible. It really is. They took the Mario formula of platforming and made it their own beautiful tightly controlled game. The difficulty gets a little irritating sometimes but it feels great to complete those levels. Hopefully the sequel is the devs perfecting their game and setting up a series that will be remembered for a long time. Also good lord I wish steam would get out of all the non steam threads.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:Especially when he ignored the fact that the 360 version technically has a lower resolution than the other versions. It's upscaled nicely and it's a beautiful game, but it seemingly doesn't look quite as sharp as the native 1080p of the PS3 or the PC versions. All of the console versions are great, but complaining that Steam needs to get out while recommending a version of the game with a modest flaw compared to both the system the thread is discussing AND the steam version is ridiculous. Good point on the resolution actually! About Steam, I'm just irritated about how often it gets brought up lately in the big console threads. There are plenty of pc game threads and a huge steam one for that. I wasn't trying to be ridiculous about it, just putting my feelings out there. Has anyone played the Rabbids game? I got it from Target for $10 since it seemed like a great price and something to hold me over until we get a proper Mario party game. I haven't played a full game of it yet but it seems alright.

AngryCaterpillar posted:Need for Speed is great, it supports every possible control configuration and lets you remap buttons. You can do gamepad, pro controller, classic controller, remote and nunchuk, steering wheel, and remote sideways without motion control. I like being able to play any way I want. I've been thinking of buying this for some reason. I really didn't like it on the 360 at all but the upgrades and improvements seem like they're what it needed to really be a great game.

Never played Earthbound but I've been curious about it forever. I feel lucky being able to go in blind in a good non-ROM version. Pretty much every announcement is something I'm looking forward too. Nintendo is slow about everything but they consistent make me happy.

Lego CU is so great. It's ridiculous how much detail they put into it. There really isn't much filler to the open world at all. You're always finding things and the missions are fast and action packed. This + MH3U brought me back to really appreciating the Wii U. The library is weak but the exclusives we have so far are really fun and not much like what you get on other consoles.

Gamers are so loving dumb and self hating. Yeah let's pray for the industry to crash. Great plan. gently caress all those devs and their families! Anarchy! Realistically the industry is transitioning to the next generation while dealing with new platforms (mobile and the resurgence of pc gaming) and new ways to get people involved in their ecosystems. Nothing is crashing, it's evolving. Every company is going to struggle a bit and it's nothing new or shocking. The gaming industry is absolutely huge and down periods are always going to happen. I guarantee you that a year or two from now it will be booming just like a few years after the current consoles came out. Even Nintendo.

TheQat posted:Random question about LCU: when do the x2/x4/etc. stud multipliers actually take effect? Only in Free Play? You have to purchase them at the police station and then turn them on in the extras menu. I think once you do that then they're always on until you shut it off.

I can't afford to miss out on millions of studs. Seriously it's really addicting having so many around everywhere. Mission time? Okay time to get distracted punching apart everything and going on score runs weeeee.

So how is Injustice for the Wii U? I'm curiously to hear first hand reports of it, even better if you've played multiple versions. I could totally get into a fun single player fighting game on the Wii U.

Artix posted:...Or we could have not wanted to pirate the games? I don't know about you, but I've spent 8 bucks on way stupider poo poo than some of my favorite games when I was growing up. You beat me to it. Spending a small amount of cash for a new official release of a classic game can't really be topped. It's infinitely better than using homebrew/emulators. I'm surprised to see so many complaints but eh, that's the Internet.

I'm thinking about getting that sonic racing game soon. Is the Wii U version the best one from a technical standpoint? Graphics, framerate, resolution, so on. It seems like a perfect buy for $30 now.

Bobnumerotres posted:PC version is so much better if you have the rig for it. WiiU version has like a 20-25 framerate going for it (and to think it's slower on other consoles jeeze), and the PC version has TF2 characters and other cool exclusive poo poo. I don't care for pc gaming so it sounds like my best bet. The framerate didn't bother me in the demo so is that the worst it gets?

It's 2013, every single person with any interest in technology and gaming has a smart phone and would have to avoid the Internet on purpose to miss this stuff. I'm sure it will be on every tech/gaming site, definitely on twitter, all over tumblr, probably on their Facebook feed. Social media can be poo poo but it's fantastic for fast free marketing and information.

Is the Wii U version of Revelations a good buy and better than the other versions? I'd like something new for the console and I don't mind rebuying the game since I didn't play far into my 3DS copy.

As a shut in with a rad girlfriend I'd much rather have tons of fun couch coop than multiplayer. The only Nintendo game I hope has it is SSB and I really doubt it won't. I don't see the point with Mario and such but if people want it then hopefully they get it eventually.

Prorat posted:Maybe goons are the wrong audience for Nintendo games? Maybe Nintendo expects for couch co-op that kids have friends from school/clubs to play with and expects adults to have girlfriends/wives and/or their own kids for couch co-op. I agree with you 100% on this entirely but Paradise is a fantastic couch game for passing the controller.
