Title: I had my hands on the Wii U for the first time today
Post by: Powerslave on March 26, 2013, 03:12:05 PM

everything was mediocre


-the analog sticks are nice
-the controller is huuuuuuuuge
-the screen is shitty, lol crappy low quality LCD, looks like a cheap rip-off handheld compared to the OLED screen of the glorious Sony Playstation Vita™
-Played mario. It's Mario man. He runs and jumps and collects coins. Still has shitty slow controls compared to everything pre N64 2D Mario.

lol wii u

oh yeah forgot to mention that, I pressed the Home button out of curiousity and saw an OS that reminded me very much of the cheap toy-ish Wii OS interface.

The Miiverse is actually quite interesting, but they need to reduce load times with 90%. I'm not even exaggerating. Entering and exiting the settings menu takes a minute.

I remember when Nintendo games had no load times, ever.

I always figured that the load times were intentional because there is no way nothing made in 2012, even with Nintendo's penchant for shitty backwards tech, would have load times that long unless it was on purpose.

YEAH, wasn't one of their reasons to not go to discs avoiding load times, and a big bragging point with the GC was little to no loading screenage/time ever? Makes the Wii U even more baffling and quite inconsistent with previous design philosophies of theirs.

Oh. So wtf are they doing philosophy wise now? The worst thing possible? Sure seems that way.

the load times are put in intentionally as a chance for you to stop and think about the choices in your life that brought you to this point

But Wii U has Black Ops II and other mature games for mature gamers such as yourself? :-[

If you didn't get it, the joke is that almost nobody bought Black Ops II and other "mature" ports.
