Wii U topic (new info as of 13/9/12)
« on: September 13, 2012, 01:04:00 PM »
Did anyone else watch the nintendo direct held a few hours ago? If not I'll bring you up to speed and provide a link to the full video.


Key points:


*There are 2 different Wii U bundles, the basic pack ($300) and the premium pack ($350).
*There is internal storage (despite rumors), 8gb for basic and 32g for premium.
*You can still use external storage devices.
*Disc capacity is 25gb.
*It's available in NA on the 18th on november and in Europe on November 30th.
*There will be 50 titles available between launch day and march next year.
*Black Ops II has been confirmed for the Wii U.
*Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is coming to Wii U.
*Bayonetta 2 is coming to the Wii U and it’s an exclusive.
*Nintendo Land is much more in-depth then people thought, the attractions feature multiple modes and stages.
*The white Wii U console is included in the basic bundle while the black Wii U console is included in the premium bundle.


Here's the video:



Looks like I'll probably be getting the basic bundle as I have no need for the extra storage because I have an external hard drive I can use. ZombiU keeps looking better and better, they showed of (the new) weapons crafting in the video and you level up your weapons the more you use them.

8gb isn't much. They're doing a similar thing to what the xbox did at launch, 8gb won't be enough for hardcore gamers, who will need to shell out more cash. At least it's better than having what the wii had, which was about 3 or 4 bytes, judging by how many DL'ed game I could fit on there.

Also, who cares if BO2 is on the Wii U? It will always be most popular on the Xbox/Playstation, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Besides, it'll be a port from the xbox anyways.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Likewise- why did the GTA series have to be a (Mostly) PS2 exclusive?    :rolleyes:

8gb is the systems internal storage for the basic.

8gb should be fine for a few games plus anyone who has external drives won't really care about the extra 24gb as they have like 200gb+ extra they can use.


As for BO2 I think it's there for the option, If players like BO2 and like the look of ZombiU they only need 1 console. Same goes for other games like batman AC, ME3 and AC3 they are all there to give players who enjoy those games and are interested in owning the Wii U that chance.

yeah i know that, but what i dont get is why a disc would have more memory than the system itself ?

Still no new Starfox game (as in not a re-release of an older one)?

To be honest, I'm still not sure what all the fuss for the Wii U is about, I'm happy to stay PC gaming. Oh, and my PS Vita =D

People might think of it as a gimmick but I see it opening up new gameplay options.

Nice find, Ian. There seems to be a great number of ideas there. Particularly there were a few by a bloke with your username ;D

Cool cool.  Any word on what the difference between the two packages is?  Also, on multiplayer games, do you need one of the players to act as the "spoiler" even if you don't have 5 people?

So now the Wii U is out and it is selling out fast along with the games, I went to EB games in a mall a day ago and almost all the Wii U games were already sold out.

But anyways here is some new stuff I recently found out about upcoming games.

*The company that ported Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U is planning on porting a AAA title from Square Enix (Possibly either: Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs or Deus Ex Human Revolution)
*Grand Theft Auto V might be coming to the system at the same time as the PC version of it, which is a few months after the xbox360 and ps3 versions
*Dragon Age 3 has been confirmed for the Wii U
*An exclusive Resident Evil title is planned for the system
*Homefront 2 has been confirmed for the Wii U
*A new Legend of Zelda is planned no release date revealed
*And so on...
