trolling without anyone around to troll is just regular shit talking.  this is just the wiiu shit talk thread.  Notice 3DS threads are just fine, cause that system has a future. 

[Human Snorenado]

that video is eleven minutes and forty-one seconds long. WHY.

Well, it's not like he's got games to be playing on his Wii U in lieu of posting videos

[hampster]

Out of curiosity I just checked and I have 75 hours logged on my Wii U for May (not counting my kid's account) Of course its all netflix/amazon/hulu but still. I wonder if that makes me the top nintard here

Between that and my kid's skylanders addiction I've been using the Wii U much more than the PS3 it replaced so I can't hate too much. Bring on E3

[Phoenix Dark]

That kid seems like the worst thing ever but I guarantee you his dad is the Big Bad

[cool breeze]

Looks very decent! Graphics aren't as good as Sonic Generations, but that might mean they're shooting for a better frame rate, which is good given how Generations ran on consoles.

[hampster]

I always wanted a sequel to Sonic 3D Blast

[archnemesis]

I played Super Metroid for 8.5 hours and then I spent some time updating the OS. Shaka probably logged a lot of hours judging from my friends feed.

[Snuflupagulus]

Fuck it.

Bought a Wii U. Bought the Lego game.

Err...  Lego City Undercover

It's, umm, good. Yeah, quite enjoying it. Funny dialog sprinkled throughout. OCDing the Lego "coins." Why you gotta reappear? Ugh.

Best Lego game ever. The super builds are awesome.

No, the software sales are anemic on 3ds, and really we won't know much about its future until Pokemon has come out.

[EmCeeGrammar]

I was referring to your musings actually, if I'm not mistaken you have expressed concern for 3ds software sales in both Europe and America.  Disclaimer: Not saying the WiiU is going to turn around from its catastrophic irrelevance out the gate.

Seems like my Wii U is nearing the end. I had to restart the dumb thing 3 times before it would turn on and it kept dropping the wifi every ~5 minutes last night

32GB premium package WiiU + Nintendoland = $100 in a 'clearance sale' 'while stock last' here today. People are all like YOU GOTTA GO FAST MAN I'm like 'It's a fucking WiiU I'll stroll into the shop 5 minutes from closing and pick up one of the 100 still on the shelves'

In other news, I may get a WiiU today.

[archnemesis]

Nintendo Land is still the best game I've played for the system. It's basically just a collection of half-assed tech demos, but some are surprisingly fun to play in a group.

[Shaka Khan]

My top 2 Wii U pick are a 3DS game and a SNES game.

[MCD]

I'm more excited by the Nyko Gamepad battery than any actual Wii U games.

Where is this?  I'd pick up one for a hundred bucks.

to be fair, you put Super Metroid on anything and it's bound to be one of the top games.

Other than NES/SNES games for 30 cents, I haven't bought a Wii U game since launch (NSMBU).  Unless games are announced for summer, that's 8 or 9 months of nothing, but I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo has the best exclusive line up this fall.  I mean, it kind of has to.

I just got mine yesterday.

Take a pic or you'll be branded a liar in addition to a weird anime loving foreigner with shit taste.

[TakingBackSunday]

I'll probably be buying one of these next week 

goddamn this ninfaggery of mine

Is this for realises?

Why?

[TakingBackSunday]

prepping for the eventual mario/zelda/smash trio.

It's my nintendo box

[bork]

So why not wait until those games are actually out in 20142015 before buying one?

[TakingBackSunday]

hey I never said it was a smart decision

[TakingBackSunday]

also I have some gift cards and gamestop credit

[cool breeze]

at least you're waiting a week for the eventual price drop

he's from seeth eefreeka, so it's probably a bit of a walk

Sorry boys, Oscar is right, the frequent flier miles on this one is beyond you. Local Souf Efrikahn thing only. WiiU sales here have been spectacularly pathetic.


As predicted a friend of mine strolled over to the shop during his lunch hour and grabbed one of the many consoles in store. (Apparently this store only had fucking 25 units but there was still a rack left over )


I didnt go since I had some crazy busy day at work, but may pick up the scraps tomorrow (after I call the store to confirm one is left)

I will buy one of those as soon as I see a new 3D Mario or Zelda game announced.

[Shaka Khan]

Well the Nyko battery is a piece of shit. Avoid.

[MCD]

Well that escalated quickly.

[cool breeze]

Well the Nyko battery is a piece of shit. Avoid.

Nintendo is releasing a larger battery in late July that extends battery life by 2 to 3 hours.  Smaller and possibly more expensive than the Nyko one, but it should be more reliable.

None of those things expire.

[hampster]

007 Legends is down to $18 and I like Bond games, even the bad ones. Hmm...





Mutant Mudds is out on June 13 for $10

[Cerveza mas fina]

I have it on my phone thanks

I think it was free on iOS for a while.

$10 on a $350 platform? 

[ManaByte]

Wii U booth outside of Disneyland

[Joe Molotov]

This is Wii U.

*tumbleweed*

[mjemirzian]

I walked past that booth while playing Angry Birds on my iPhone. What's a Wii U again?

[MCD]

Got an email, company-wide all WiiU are being recalled.

Finally Nintendo gets it that no one wanted that pos.

[Tasty]

MM was a good deal on 3DS, dunno if MMDX will be worth $10 but I guess I'll double dip since I literally haven't turned my Wii U on in two months.

Just the basic model, I believe.

[MCD]

Silly Andy, I'm just having fun after my ass got destroyed by English Grammar final exam.

Welcome back BTW.

[Tasty]

You're still in college? Lmao.

Oh and thanks. It's nice to have a thread to myself. I knew Borys could never stop being a loyal lapdog. 

[MCD]

Work + college.

1. It's just the 8GB tard pack.
2. They've already announced a 32GB white model (in Japan). They'll probably announce that at E3 for the US.

[Tasty]

I'd also expect a price cut, might be only $50 though.

Still, $300 single-version Wii U isn't... that terrible of a deal, going into the holidays.

[ManaByte]

$300 32GB Wii U with Nintendoland isn't bad. Maybe throw in 1 Wiimote with it.

[D3RANG3D]

200 without game or 250 with a game that's not shit aka not nintendo land.

[Tasty]

200 without game or 250 with a game that's not shit aka not nintendo land.

Probably not gonna happen lol. Who knows, maybe they'll bundle one of the New Super ____ Bros. games with it now that there's two of them. Dunno how NSMBU is selling but it's probably tracking the worst in the series so far. (70% of my StreetPasses are from NSMB2. )

[cool breeze]

I don't want a Wii U packaged with a Wii remote.  Nothing that would encourage developers to use it.  The patch that enables the Luigi DLC inside NSMBU also adds 360 controller support.  Even Nintendo's wising up.  Wii remote should be sealed away until Ghost Squad HD or Sin and Punishment 3.

[Flannel Boy]

 after the prices are announced for the Xbone and PSGDDR5, assuming they're around $399, the price of the 32 gig wii u will be slashed to $249.

Believe: 66,666

[D3RANG3D]

200 without game or 250 with a game that's not shit aka not nintendo land.

If something's going to be packed-in, Nintendo Land would be the best choice.  It's not something I think anyone should buy for full price, but it is a pretty good demonstration of what the pad can do, and it's something fun for families who buy the thing as a Christmas present without any other games.  I think $250 with NintendoLand would be, I dunno, a good-ish offer?  I don't know that it would help much in terms of making the WiiU big, but it would at least chart us back into Gamecube waters saleswise, probably.

Well the PS3 and Xbox360 are cheaper and have games, so that's what I was getting at.

[D3RANG3D]

hunh.  if that's what you were trying to get at, you kind of suck at getting at your points.  you should probably take a class or something.

The Wii U is a tough sale as is in being expensive especially when the 360/PS3 are out and cheaper and has games the pad being a dud also doesn't help, so at this point we are just beating a dead horse, maybe I should have explained it better in the first place, but meh I am lazy.

 

[Sho Nuff]

WEEOOOOOOOOO~~~

[Tasty]

Oui Yoo?

[Cerveza mas fina]

I have it on my phone thanks

I think it was free on iOS for a while.

$10 on a $350 platform? 

The iPhone version is the worst version.  Mutant Mudds is pretty hard and even as someone fairly acceptant of touch controlled platformers, it really doesn't turn out well with Mudds.  Yeah, game was free/99 cents, but if you can't even get through half the game, it's not worth much.

I have it on 3DS and iPhone.  Not really down with buying the game again, even if it's a deluxe version.  I guess, like the 3DS version was at the time it was released, it's a nice enough game for people without much else to play.

Yeah its not easy, but I get bored with this kind of game within an hour anyway. Also Im pretty sure you can hook a controller to android devices.

USB OTG cable + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy&hl=en

You used to be able to connect Wii controllers, DS3 and 360 controllers via bluetooth, which was awesome, but updates to Android screwed it up.

You can still use the DS3 and 360 controller via USB OTG cable, and with a PC Wireless Adaptor kit for 360 controllers, and the above app, you can also use wireless 360 controllers. Some games just work automagically, like the GTA games, but for anything that doesn't work right away you can use USB/BT Joystick Center to make them work. Works amazing on tablets like Nexus 7, it's great for emulators. It's a bit of a messy looking setup though.
