Bombadilillo posted:They are coming, I saw a news story the other day about a 4k tv, completely independent of any video game talk. I dont know why you would buy it seeing as nothing supports that res yet. But they are starting to come out. Nintendo is gonna miss out on the lucrative $25000 TV market!!!!! Seriously, they had to make the TV over 80" because your eyes literally cannot tell the difference between 4k and 1080p unless the screen is massive.

Detective No. 27 posted:Most of us will view using the gamepad in NSMBU's Boost Rush as baby mode. Sure It'll allow the player to add platforms to aide your fellow players, but I see it as a natural evolution of NSMBWii's Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers" style rear end in a top hat gameplay. I will be using it to wall off key points and place platforms right in a friend's trajectory so that they hit it instead of landing on it. Is it confirmed that you can use the game pad to help in boost rush mode?

Paper Jam Dipper posted:The most mindboggling thing about the existence of the Wii was not re-manufacturing the Wavebird for the Wii and selling it. They would have easily made a profit, especially in the mid 2000s. They did this, I thought? Or a third party did, at least.

Bobnumerotres posted:It doesn't matter how good a story is. A game is a game. The game and the story should be holding hands, be it seamless short real-time cutscenes (like in Half Life) or a story that you need to dig for yourself, and can choose to completely ignore (Demon/Dark souls, metroid prime). Some people like that stuff, though

If the game is actually rendered in 720p, they would just be upscaling it to 1080p and it wouldn't really look that much better.

Policenaut posted:I think it was supposed to go into the whole deal where Square-Enix said that doing FF13's visuals was so labor intensive that they couldn't do towns. Like if they keep progressing in that manner that FF15 and future titles could end up like that, or like Infinity Blade which is literally boss fights linked by a tiny bit of moving. I think they got around to implementing towns in FF13-2 though. Yeah XIII-2 has a few hub cities, but honestly it doesn't look as good as XIII. It's an awesome game and I'm sure they could pull off something similar in future releases. What if FFXV was... WiiU exclusive????

Paper Jam Dipper posted:Do people really play Final Fantasy games anymore because it's a game series you can trust for quality or is it really just because it's the best known brand name in RPG next to Dragon Quest? You are definitely getting quality games in the mainline Final Fantasy series. Regardless of how you feel about Final Fantasy XIII, you have to admit that it is a well made game with high production values. I personally liked XIII and will probably continue to buy Final Fantasy games unless they look abysmal or are an MMO.

Boijoina posted:any word at all on a new fire emblem, I felt kind of gipped on the last one due to the fact it was a GCN game. There have been four since Path of Radiance: Radiant Dawn, a Wii sequel to PoR; Shadow Dragon, a remake of the very first game; some game that was only released in Japan for DS I think; and Fire Emblem: Awakening, the new one for 3DS which is confirmed for an eventual US release.

They haven't been a thing here in the UK for a long time, unless you only have the super basic package or are regularly pulling down like 100GB a week (although Sky doesn't even seem to care then.) There was an initiative to help bring high speed broadband internet infrastructure to everyone in the US, but it fell victim to our embarrassing political system EDIT: England has way better internet from what I have heard because there is actual competition

SMW's world map had areas with multiple entrances and exits that led to completely different areas that you would never see unless you found a specific exit in a specific level. Vanilla Dome had two branching exits, right? And everything flowed a lot more organically as opposed to NSMB's cookie-cutter  world maps. Maybe they improved on SMW's map concept, we'll have to wait and see

Ok guys, you can put away all your fears about NSMBU now. The Forest of Illusion is back. http://www.gamesradar.com/new-super-mario-bros-u-preview-8-ways-its-just-super-mario-world/ The game is basically New Super Mario World. Buy it if you weren't going to already. EDIT: Here's a quote quote:The Forest of Illusion returns Blackbelt Bobman fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Nov 4, 2012 |

flyboi posted:The WBFS limitation was removed, FAT32 and NTFS both work now. Anyways, likely the reason behind this is much like how the internal hd works on PS3. I'm going to guess for security reasons the hard drive data will be entirely encrypted to a certificate unique to each console to reduce the risk of people snatching data off it.

The local game store I buy all my games from has the shittiest distributor ever who didn't get them their WiiUs in time for the launch  I guess I'll have to wait a few extra days. Oddly enough, they were able to get most of the games for it, so maybe I'll pick my games up and pay the whole thing off tomorrow.

I finally got my WiiU set up and all my data from my Wii that I've had since launch transferred over. I had a scare when the transfer was 70% done and I got an error and had to unplug my system in order to reboot it, but it just resumed where it left off. I wish they had said somewhere that you can still play the VC/WiiWare games you already downloaded to the SD card, you don't have to like copy them to the system memory or re-download them onto the WiiU. So far I've only messed around with the menus, but I absolutely love the interface. The Miiverse rocks, and I am amazed by the little pictures people have been leaving in notes. I can't wait to actually play a game! PS Miis look weird in HD

Flash is old technology that is (thankfully) dying out. HTML5 is basically better in every way. On topic, someone said that when I registered my WiiU Deluxe Bundle, it would automatically register NintendoLand. But it didn't, and it doesn't come with a code. I want my coins, drat it!

certain games require Wii Motion Plus, for example the Zelda game in NintendoLand. You're better off just getting all Wiimote+'s from now on. In fact, I think they're phasing regular Wiimotes out (finally)

There isn't a full-fledged Pokemon game on a console because Pokemon is and always has been about interacting with other people no matter where you are. It's portable so that you can easily trade or battle with your friends in person anywhere, or show them your Pokemon, or whatever. Making it on a console would take away the in-person battle/trade aspect, or at least make it more difficult/convoluted. That's why the series became popular, and why the main games will never leave the handheld platform.

I'm wondering if I should whip up a few Miis from scratch to use with Old Wii games. You can import your Miis from Wii mode to the WiiU Mii Maker, yes.

Gendo posted:I'm glad I waited to get Scribblenauts on sale because it's getting a little stale. It's a super imaginative game in terms of what you can do, but even with a relatively open sandbox without really challenging puzzles there's only so much replay value to it. Nintendoland has tons of replay value, it's totally worth it. PS Your messages in NSMBU are the funniest ones

gently caress areas 9 and 10 in the DK game in Nintendoland. I somehow made it through Area 9 several times before I started dying repeatedly at it  and Area 10 is just cruel because the second to last drop kills you for no reason

Beat Yoshi's Fruit Cart finally, then replayed it because it was in double coin mode. Made it to gate 35, got foiled by rolling into a spicy chili plate at the wrong angle  but I managed to get a ton of points, and 200 coins  EDIT: Can you get Stars for the multiplayer attractions? I mean the competitive ones, not the co-op ones (since those have levels you can beat, etc.)
