Well, I use the WiiU now as my exclusive streaming gateway (so much easier than navigating with my PS3 or built in TV apps)for Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. Aside from Black Ops 2, it's relegated my PS3 to just a blu-ray player. Between ZombiU, Sonic, Mario and Nintendoland, I'm more than busy enough until Rayman and Lego City come out.

I finally booted mine up after a few weeks hibernation. Gave NSMBU multiplayer a spin last night with a friend. Kinda pointless.

Finally gave the Rayman demo a go last night as well(wasn't in a rush since it's a day 1 purchase anyway). The multiplayer is great. Wasn't too keen on the Wiimote controls at all. Turbo is the back trigger? Hopefully this one will support the Pro controller.

Also downloaded the Zombie U demo. Didn't get a chance to try it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

The only game I've been playing on Wii U is "Clean The Dust"

The hardware is smaller this time so I've noticed it does collect less dust than previous Nintendo hardware.

No, I was aware of course. I was more lamenting my typical impulse buying. I could have waited until there were other games available to play NSMB but I felt like playing it so I got it.

I am fully aware that my Nintendo systems are basically just Mario/Zelda systems. We'll see what else pops up that seems worth playing.

"People" were also hopeful the PS3 would get cross game chat.

Does it utilize the gamepad at all? Otherwise, I have Microsoft points to burn and I might as well buy it for the 360.

So is there any reason not to transfer my Wii crap over to the Wii U if I don't plan on selling any of my crap? I still have my Wii hooked up to the TV but the extra sensor bar annoys me. They need to sell a sensor bar splitter so i can plug both systems into one sensor bar!

So why do you have both setup still? Gamecube games?

RichC2

Had no idea they were porting Revelations, cool. Best Resident Evil game since Code Veronica.

SmackDaddy

Hmm....very interesting. Being a port from the 3DS seems it's tailor made for two screen goodness!

slop101

So, yeah, not that anyone cares, but I guess I'm getting one of these consoles when the new Rayman comes out.

Any suggestions on transferring VC games from the Wii? (I have a bunch and they're already on the SD card that I have in the Wii)

SmackDaddy

I haven't transferred my VC games just yet. The WiiU will walk you through the steps to do the transfer. I probably won't do it until I get rid of my Wii.

Lol, of course after I just jumped through hoops to get a copy of Wind Waker for GC they do this shit to me.

chuckd21

Wow, fuck right off Nintendo.

Brent L

Just look at it!

Anubis2005X

That looks GORGEOUS!!!

pinata242

Shit. Has the WiiU gone on clearance yet?

SmackDaddy

Maybe some folks in this thread will finally be able to dust off their WiiU!

pinata242

I thought VC games ported to the WiiU during a transfer? Is this talking about a further upgrade? If so, what are we buying for that extra cost? It sure as fuck better not be just the ability to play them on the gamepad because that should be native functionality of the platform... you know, just like online remote multiplayer should have been because NEW emulators have been doing that for over a decade...

RichC2

...none of these titles are out yet

Mine will get dusted off when Rayman comes out.
