I'm a freelance accountant since 2007. It pays well, so yeah...

But I bought those U's for my little cousins. Not for my own household. Not interested in the Wii U yet.

Fair play man. If my job were paying well I'd probably be doing similar... I've just realised asking like that was really nosey of me BTW. Sorry about that!

No biggie, man. I get that question a lot after I tell people on gaming forums that I have three Ps3's in my house

But I'm defnitely not rich, lol. Just earn enough to make a good living, don't have kids and pirate a lot to save more money

[Phoenix Dark]

When you say 3 PS3s...do you mean 3 PS3s or 2 WiiUs and 1 PS3?

[Cerveza mas fina]

Buying shit for family if you have the cash

I own three Ps3's for myself. I gave away my X360 and Wii.
The two WiiU's I've bought were for the family.

I always buy lots of stuff for the family, Premium Lager. Seeing them happy makes me happy

There's also the lower wage representation in here scrapping to get by to the next month eating leftovers from the city dumpsters: Diunx.

Once my crack selling business takes off well see who's the one eating leftovers!

About four or five days ago, I hinted at the idea of Wii U VC games being playable on 3DS, and 3DS VC games being playable on Wii U. It sounds amazing, but it’s not that simple. And I question whether anyone can actually call it “cross play” since you’re basically rebuying your games.

Not every VC game will allow this.

A VC game would have to release on both Wii U VC and 3DS VC for this to work.

You have to pay a discount price to transfer a Wii U VC game to 3DS. It would be just like how you pay a discount price to play a Wii VC game on Wii U.

On another note: Some people have asked me if this means games will be linked to an account. I don’t think these two things are related. Linking one piece of hardware to another piece of hardware doesn’t require an account. If you can send your Miis from your 3DS to your Wii U, then I don’t see why it would be difficult to do the same with certain VC games. Especially since Nintendo had a feature on the original Wii where you could download DS demos to your DSi.

[Joe Molotov]

The Wii U and 3DS VCs are both bullshit, so now you can have twice the bullshit for one low bullshit price!

[Diunx]

Wait you can't do that already? smh.

Nintendo providing half assed solutions for something every android and ios user expects already.

[MCD]

They will sweet their way with some PS+ plan.

[cool breeze]

I hope Sony doesn't pull this shit when they get PS3/PSP stuff up on PS4, but having to pay again for PS1 stuff on their smartphone platform tells me not to be hopeful.

I'm sure Vita PS1 support came after that PS Mobile nonsense and it works with existing PS1 content.  Plus, I think PS Mobile games you buy on android work on Vita, but that might be a different storefront than PSN/SEN/whatever.  Those PS1 games on android seem like halfway between gouging and miscommunication between Sony divisions, and are the exception.  What I imagine happening with the PS4 is that you can only play PS1/PS2 games purchased from PSN, like how the PS2 support is on PS3.

I really like the idea behind virtual console and want it to grow, but resetting the library for each console is confusing.  If it launched with Gamecube games, if that's even possible, it might've been exciting again.  Then again, one of the big Wii U releases this year is a Wind Waker remake/port.  Sony probably made money off the HD collections than simply putting games up on PSN.

Yes, its real - we have now completely reversed the WiiU drive authentification, disk encryption, file system, and everything else needed for this next generation K3y. Stay tuned for updates!

the fact that the wii u might get hacked before the 3ds is really really sad

It's such a shame that the WiiU will have to deal with this idiocy if this chip is true, people will just buy the system but won't purchase games, Nintendo sell more systems but the software developers and game developers lose out, and if this keeps happening what funding will there be left for games? People will just keep seeing the same over and over again and we get fewer amazing games.

is there a number that is fewer than 0? wii u getting -1 games?

[hampster]

I think my Wii U is running worse after the update :'( I've had two hard locks since (I can't remember any before). Plus everything runs about the same. Maybe Miiverse loads faster but netflix, amazon, and games are all just as slow as they ever were (the things I actually use the wii u for)

I've got this inkling feeling there's defective hardware out there.. just when they think they've seen the last of the bad press, it'll probably come out! Something isn't right with your Wii U if you haven't noticed horrendous 25 second game closures / load times go down to 3-6 seconds. The banner image screens are up for a much lower span of time too... shame it can't improve Lego City's in game loading, or as you've already noticed, in-software performance of other apps. A lot of those are probably down to the shitty ways the apps deal with network loading / load failures. I'm personally feeling its appreciably snippier... it should have been this way at launch. Hopefully they improve it further.

I hope they squash the piracy hack tbh. Completely block it out in future mandatory updates and maybe future versions of the hardware. No good comes of cheapskates getting a free ride in the long run. Love how there are mods on GAF rubbing their hands over 'region free' like there's anything that's not out in any region worth importing... this doesn't appear to enable 'homebrew' in any way at all, yet look at the level of interest. I couldn't have said this there, but I suspect everyone in those threads just wants free games. Some of them will be pirating games on USB like every other cunt did on the Wii if they can. Which is great for them at the time, but it'll negatively affect the already shitty eco system for software.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Nintendo already has the biggest deterrent in place: no games to really pirate.

Netflix and Amazon Video lock up all the time now to where I have to turn off/turn on the power strip.  It reminds me of the early days of Wii U ownership where a nicca couldn't just lie down and watch a movie without some bullshit getting in the way.  Wii U ownership is always one step forward, two steps back.  Shit, sometimes you don't even get the step forward.

As everybody else has said, 7 years late to HD and they somehow failed to predict what ever major publisher/developer has been warning about. The situation is really bad, 3rd parties are shunning the system and first party games are getting stalled. Great, just great.

[Shaka Khan]

I really don't know. I mean going by their hirings and building expansions, they're trying, but it's nowhere near enough. Which makes you wonder just how ill-prepared they were going in.

[Joe Molotov]

Nintendo can't even go 3rd party anymore when the bottom falls out, they wouldn't know how to make games for the Rango or PS4. They'd have to go straight to smartphones.

At this rate, the next Mario game will be running on Unreal Engine 2.

[mjemirzian]

What's going to happen first? 3rd party or mobile/handheld only?

[Human Snorenado]

I don't think they'll ever go 3rd party.  Probably just get out of the console business, although it will take longer than people think or I would like.  Handheld only will probably always be viable for them as even if they stop making hardware, parents will need shit to give their kids to shut them up for a couple of hours, and even nintendo stuff on iOS devices will accomplish that.

The official statement from EA Sports is below: "We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future."

I read on GAF that Pikmin doesnt have online multiplayer, just offline.

[mjemirzian]

As far as I know, the Wii U is still "that console Bayonetta 2 is coming to at some point".

I don't even play first party Nintendo games anymore aside from the Fire Emblem series, and I disliked FE: Awakening. I'm not sure I'd bother with a Wii U for a new FE if it's going to be like Awakening.

There's no games in Australia for 2 months. And we've had something like 4 so far this year.
