Wii U Discussion

Re: Wii U Discussion

+1 on going digital. Was thinking about doing the same as my son is the main player of the wii u and you know how kids are with disks. Not sure what HDD to get though. Suggestions?

I don't know. I figured I'd cross that bridge when I get to it. I have the 32gb deluxe model. I'm not sure how long that will last me. Right now the only digital game I have is DK Tropical Freeze because I was given the two Mario games for Christmas. After Mario Kart 8, I'm not sure what the next Wii U game I get will be, waiting to hear more on the Zelda games I guess since I'm not into fight games (Super Smash Bros).

I do plan on upgrading the hard drive in my PS4 before Infamous Second Son comes out on March 21, so I was considering taking the 500gb drive from my PS4, formatting it, and putting it in an external enclosure for the Wii U to use. Not sure if that will work or not, but I thought I'd give it a try at the end of this month.

Hmm..didnt think of that. I upgraded my PS4 HDD when it came out to the 1tb hybrid and still have the 500 GB HDD from the PS4. May try doing this myself and see how it goes.

Cool. If you do, let me know how it goes. I'm not sure what, if any, restrictions the Wii U has for an external drive. Hopefully that one from the PS4 will work.

That's a really good deal. From what I've heard, these refurbished consoles/handhelds that come directly from Nintendo are delivered in excellent condition.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Still plugging away at DK with the missus, well into World 3. Not sure how the secret levels are found, I'm assuming spelling out K-O-N-G and the puzzle pieces? Haven't got any secret levels yet. The game is super challenging and makes me enjoy it even more than 3D World. It is awesome!

Just finished World 3 this morning, that was a tough boss. I'm halfway through world 4 now, swimming world! It has a fun mine cart level. Just got done with this one level called Irate Eight, whew, it was crazy!

Re: Wii U Discussion

Finished the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Such a great trilogy overall. I played the first, but didn't finish the second and didn't own a Wii to play the third. Prime 1 still holds up and is great. Prime 2 has the best boss battles and Sanctuary Fortress is probably the pinnacle of the series in terms of level design, but having to traverse the dark world hurts it some. Prime 3 is the one I had the most fun playing. The level design is less complex and demanding, but Retro nailed the gameplay. It's one of the smoothest controlling FPS games I've ever played and made me like motion controls. If you haven't played Prime 3, you should.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Does anyone know a cheap way to fix/replace the touch screen of my wii u gamepad? It fell on a corner just right so there's constant pressure on a tiny place on the screen.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Beat the main story of Donkey Kong! This is actually the first DK game I've finished.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Just picked up a Wii U and Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong. First Nintendo console since the Gamecube. What are some good games for the Wii and the U?

Re: Wii U Discussion

You got 2 good ones. Lego City and Sonic Racing are two of my favorites.

The original Wii Virtual Console is available? Is it any different then the store on the WiiU? I guess I'm either minunderstanding or didn't see this anywhere and am blind.
