Really wish the charging port for the gamepad was on the bottom. Starting ZombiU now.

Thanks, it's in stock in many Targets and Walmarts here. Any recommendations on games? I really want ZombiU, but I'm open to further suggestions.

The user experience with the WiiU is really frustrating. The OS is super slow, and every piece of software needs a lengthy update. The gamepad should have the headphone and charging jack on the bottom, and the touchscreen is imprecise without a stylus.

Yet, ZombiU is awesome. I have some issues with NSMBU (it's too similar to past Mario games) but the challenges are awesome and it looks great in HD.

Basically, as long as I stay in games, it's great lol.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Hey Guys,

Recently have been interested in picking one up and told myself may as well go look because they wont even be out there if i wanted to get one. Hit up a best buy and gamestop and was just laughed out of the building. walked into the walmart and theres 4 normals and one beautiful deluxe one sitting there.

I obviously walked out of there with the deluxe because i lack self control, what do i need to be able to play things like mario, i cant use the game pad to play correct?

can someone just list some essentials i need to pick up?

If you want to play Wii games get the Wiimote. I grabbed 2 of them and 1 nunchuck. I still haven't grabbed a WiiU pro controller yet but may do so eventually. Other than grabbing some games thats probably it.
Have a blast with my daughters and Nintendoland, love ZombiU, NSMBU is fun especially MP. SP is ok.. It's Mario.
Pretty much playing those and Scribblenauts while waiting now for Lego City, Rayman and Pikmin 3.
Of course as soon as a Zelda or Paper Mario is out I'll be all over them also.
Have fun!

I still need to try out COD. May do that this weekend. Still having a blast with ZombiU.
I didn't care for AC3 on PS3 so doubt I even try it.

You can add Yoshi U to that list as well.

Re: Wii U Discussion

It looks like the U is close to getting cracked by hackers, which is crazy that it's so soon.

The clock speeds have been revealed by a hacker for those looking at tech specs:

Wii U codenames worth knowing: system Cafe, CPU Espresso, GPU/SoC/etc. Latte, ARM secure processor Starbuck (we made that one up).

1.243125GHz, exactly. 3 PowerPC 750 type cores (similar to Wii's Broadway, but more cache).

GPU core at 549.999755MHz.

we're calling the WiiU security processor the Starbuck (vs. Starlet on Wii). And it seems to be about equally vulnerable, too

sorry, I'd rather not talk about how I got that yet. It doesn't involve leaks, it involves Wii U hacks

Ps3 was the same with the updates when it first released

Also when you say imprecise. What do you mean? I've yet to use stylus and its been flawless.

Yeah I've only used the stylus with Scribblenauts. Haven't had any issues with it on Madden or ZombiU. Haven't tried the pad with Mario MP yet. I did do the calibration before I played anything though.
