Wii U Discussion

Re: Wii U Discussion

I am really curious to see how 3rd party uses the touch screen going forward. Release dates being equal, I would have gotten Arkham City on the Wii U. I still may replay it. The Madden thing seems interesting. Luckily I have the Blue pass from Blockbuster and will be able to rent Madden and give it a try. I still love my PS3 though.

Wish we had a place around here to rent. 3rd party support using the pad in new ways is key. Either way I'll have the Nintendo games that I mainly got system for.
1 more day!

And while watching Cartoon Network my son saw the commercial for the WiiU. "Mario, Mario".

Re: Wii U Discussion

Skyboxer, please provide impressions if you end up getting Madden. Very interested to hear how well it works with drawing routes and how well the play calling works.

Just got home with Madden.
Like I said... Weak... Lol

So far from IGN:

Scribblenauts 8.8
The Verdict

In some ways, Scribblenauts Unlimited is still running on the same awe-inspiring gimmicks the series introduced in 2009 but with the level of polish and refinement here, it’s finally delivering on all fronts. Despite some dips in overall puzzle difficulty this time around, the game has a massive amount of content to both discover and create from scratch.

If you’ve skipped the series until now, start here. You’ll be floored at how much there is to show off. And if you’re the creative type, the Object Editor opens up endless possibilities. Scribblenauts Unlimited is an excellent Wii U launch game, even if it just feels like a glorified handheld title.

NSMBU 9.1
The Verdict

It’s difficult to find freshness or brilliance in a 2D landscape. Mario’s world is now three decades old. That would seem to suggest new territory is scarce, and in some ways the formulaic New Mario series had come to reinforce that fear. But New Super Mario Bros. U demonstrates there’s not just life left in this type of game, but that it can be modern and nostalgic at the same time.

Nintendo’s approach here strikes a great balance in all areas, ranging from its difficulty to design to enemies and bosses. And for everything the basic Story Mode does right – and that’s a considerable amount – the Challenge Mode will be remembered as a key moment in the life of the New Mario series, where Nintendo realized it didn’t have to sacrifice the core gamer’s experience at the expense of a more casual audience. This is how Mario can and will appeal to everyone

Nintendoland 8.7
The Verdict

Nintendo Land is a brilliant show of what Nintendo’s new console and tablet controller are capable of, and has far more depth and content then you’d expect from a mini-game collection. The attractions are ridiculously fun and offer plenty of variety, whether you’re flying solo or entertaining a group. Throw in high scores to best, gold trophies to earn, stamp achievements to collect and tons of Plaza decorations to unlock, and what you’ve got is an experience that must not be missed, and probably the best show of Wii U available at launch.

Ninja Gaiden III: Razors Edge 7.6
The Verdict

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge might be the polar opposite of the usual Nintendo fare. The ‘M’ rating on the box is not a joke, what with the hyper-fast ninja action title’s unending display of severed limbs and decapitated heads. It’s fantastic to see this kind of hardcore gamer’s game on a Nintendo console – and at the Wii U’s launch, no less – and you can forget much of what you may have heard about the original release of this game earlier this year on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It’s far from perfect and best viewed with “launch goggles” on, but Razor’s Edge’s unflinching action and unabashed violence is a great sign for the Wii U as a core gamer’s platform.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Plan is to get it all hooked up, register it and then download the day one patch.
Enter all games into Nintendo Fan to get the points. Turn off auto shutoff.
Test my External drive to make sure it works ok.
Play:
Madden 1st to try the pad out
Then
Nintendoland- Scribblenauts- NSMBU- then after dark it will be ZombiU

Alright I have not been keeping up with the Wii U at all, so what are the major differences b/t the Wii & Wii U? I know the Wii U is in high def but outside of that I know nothing.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Ugh... I should've pre-ordered.

Don't have a good feeling about finding one anytime soon.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Guess this answered whether its full custom hot routing

1up:
Gamepad functionality doesn’t end there; if a player selects a passing play, they can now set their own routes, thanks to the touchscreen. Remember how a hot route in previous Madden titles involved a predetermined direction the player runs, depending on which direction the analog is pressed upon an audible? Now players can simply drag their finger along the touchscreen to a route of their choosing. Want to sprint five yards down-field, spin around twice and then cut left? It’s all within your fingertips. Any eligible receiver can have their routes changed once the pass play is selected and your team sets up formation. While on defense, there’s no need to press a button to manually scroll through each defensive player, as a tap on the Gamepad’s touchscreen on the defensive players number on the formation shown will pinpoint you directly to that player. Out of all the Wii U titles available to demo at this event, Madden 13 presented beneficial augmentations and enhancements that really sets the bar quite high for Gamepad functionality.
