As Nintendo themselves noted earlier today, the system update required to deal with DLC will be added in December. Thus, the Wii U, as of this time, does not support DLC.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #3423 on:** November 16, 2012, 05:42:21 PM »

Someone got one and is on the way to our office to try this thing out. Oh boy!

I'm confused by this Gametrailers thing - they're getting excited about existing Wii and 3DS functions. the hell...

so now the Wii U is maybe for people who ignored the X360/PS3/Wii/DS and 3DS!

They keep making us put the controllers on a flat surface before the minigames to recalibrate

The whimsy robot won't shut up either

wtf why does it have to calibrate

sounds horrible

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #3444 on:** November 16, 2012, 07:49:28 PM »

apparently the trigers are click buttons, not analog and no resistance so racing games are impossible

Wii U can rely on the tap-tap-tap method or crib Gran Turismo's second stick throttle. It's not the same thing, but I play GTA4 on my keyboard with WASD controls just fine. Still a strange omission. The original Classic Controller still had analog shoulder buttons, but they were gone in the Classic Controller Pro, which made it incompatible with a couple games.

What was even the first game to use triggers for acceleration? I wanna say Metropolis Street Racer was the first I played. I remember finding the scheme confusing as late as when GTA3 came out on the Xbox. Nowadays it's damn near necessary since you're using the face buttons/analog sticks at the same time.

It is absolutely embarrassing that Nintendo can't be bothered to include BASIC CONSOLE FUNCTIONALITY that has been the standard in other consoles for TEN YEARS. What an absolute mess of a system.

Nintendo Land is a separate GAME?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #3459 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:42:35 PM »

Yep it's a shitty minigame collection, enjoy, at least it's free and it runs at 60fps

Oblivion · « **Reply #3460 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:48:16 PM »

LOL

For some strange reason I thought it came with the system. And not as a pack-in, I mean like it actually came installed ON the system.

Even funnier considering I "played" it at E3.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #3461 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:53:41 PM »

Oops looks like the Netflix Amazon and Hulu apps that appear on the main screen won't work until a patch in December

Making consoles is hard

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #3462 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:55:08 PM »

It's only "free" if you buy the Deluxe Pack. If you buy the Tard Pack, you get to pay $60 for it.

Oblivion · « **Reply #3463 on:** November 16, 2012, 10:58:46 PM »

$60?

It's the shameless launch pricing $:-\$

You also have Monster Hunter at $60 for an HD remaster (typically these are $20). Old 360/PS3 games at $60. And it wasn't too long ago that iOS grade games like Steel Diver were sold as $40 3DS games; or Ubisoft porting literal iOS games to Vita selling for $40.

It's hard to fault them for taking advantage of potential customers, but even Microsoft discounts its Kinect shit.

Sorry Andrew I don't sell to friends, cause that would just be wrong.

I'm gonna wait it out and see how the market goes for the console. I should have gotten both preordered cause most people will not be willing to pay more for the premium package one. Gamestop isn't having a midnight which sucks.

Hold onto the preorder the target preorder cards were going for $200-300 and that's not including the consoles cost. I think we could see a massive demand in the weeks leading up to christmas. So much so It might pay for a console down the road for free.

After playing the thing for an hour I was like "well I guess this is okay for $250" and my boss was like "Erm actually it was $350" and I nearly had an anyeurysm. If you drop that kind of bank on day one you are insane. Unless you're Prole.
