I just got my Wii U, but don't currently have a wireless connection. Rather than get a router, I'm considering getting the ethernet adapter instead. However, I've read a couple of discussions where people are getting a better connection via wireless routers, and I'm curious as to what the thread would recommend.

Nintendo actually recommend the ethernet adapter for smash.

I switched to it recently for Mario Kart and everything seems a lot better.

Excellent, thanks.

Shigeru Miyamoto is indeed a pretty cool dude, who may or may not have literally saved video games with Donkey Kong. I'm also way too happy about the fact that we have the same birthday.

Splatoon stream still going and it seems like the game is really aggressive. Like, the objective is to get the most floor covered with your ink so covering tons of floor with ink on your way first would seem appropriate, but really it's all about making your way through and dominating the farthest.

Yeah, there's a very interesting flow to the game. Having your ink on the ground gives such a huge advantage not only in terms of objective but also enabling everything from faster travel to reloading your guns to creating ambush points. I'm extremely curious as to what kind of tactical gameplay emerges in Splatoon.

Is Okami worth playing on the Wii? I keep hearing bad things about its controls. Looks amazing though.

Seems like a good time to bring this up. I missed out on the entire era of the Wii (life got bad), and now with a Wii U I'm eager to play the best that its predecessor had. Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, and Pikiman are all I've got for my list (I played Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword already). What else really made the Wii great?

I love the Gamepad, but it can feel really delicate sometimes. The Pro Controller remedies this nicely.

Does Wii U have a PS4-esque party chat feature? If so, that would be enough for me... better, probably.

Ventrilo is a good substitute, and you can put it on phones and tablets.

How is the Hori battle pad? Is it quality? It has the seal, so I trust it's good, just didn't know how it felt being used. Thinking of replacing a classic controller or two.

It's really good. I think it' superior to both the original classic controller and the PDP battlepad.

EDIT: Speaking of controllers, is that shotgun wiimote peripheral fun? I was eyeing it for RE4.

Just curious, but what's the reasoning behind it being superior to the PDP version? I've heard some people criticise the c-stick and praise the added analog on the PDP one.

I experience a lot of handslipping with the PDP one.
