Don't worry, millions upon millions of units will be sold when Mario 3D World comes out.

Was just at Best Buy looking around.  This is one of the bigger stores in the city and I couldn't even find the Nintendo stuff at first- they have basically shoved everything to the side in favor of huge Xbone and PS4 sections, with some newer 360 and PS3 stuff nearby.  Wii U was pushed to a tiny corner in the back, mixed with Wii games, and there were no displays for anything.  It was pretty sad.

What's the word about Lost World? Generations was awesome, is this good or typical shitty Sonic?

Seen it marked as "shitty," but some are saying that the 3DS version by Dimps ain't bad.

I had my first experience of frustration as a result of Nintendo's complete ineptitude in the UK market on Friday. GAME is one of the few shops in the UK still giving the Wii U its own advertising and shelf space - I went in to try and get the Wii U Fit Meter and to get Black Flag (I'm a suckerrr) and I found out that not only do GAME and their website not have stock of the meter, but they also didn't even realise the game was out. "It's not out until December" - it is digitally, I downloaded it this morning, the metre is out today. "Really? We've not been sent anything"

I went in after work just before they were closing and these little Irish twats started abusing the staff because they turned off the 360 demo machine.

I ended up walking out with Darksiders II (which I own on 360) and Mass Erect 3, preowned, super cheap. Its nice having Darksiders II for gamepad only play - graphics are much nicer than the 360 version in places but its got some puke inducing tearing and slowdown when you use the TV in certain sections... Did they change the way the Tome works in game for the Wii U version or was it patched when THQ / Vigil went south? I got a shit load of powerful items from it as soon as I reached the Forge Lands. I was grateful really as I didn't want to particularly grind and pick up loot during this play through

Must be cheap.

Unless I missed something to the contrary (possible) - we've known for a while that the GPU is some kind of customised E6760 (embedded AMD chipset). That had 480 ALUs, 3x the texture units bgassassin is describing there and 8 ROPs. He probably knows better than any of us, but it initially looks odd knowing the e6760 fork was apparently confirmed last year. Maybe without being hamstrung on a PC mobo, having to cater to variable RAM configs and PCI-E etc, and with the added eDRAM -- I guess its perfectly plausible they made efficiencies in the weaker direction. The E6760 at ~35w benched better than a 4850 at much higher wattage, which had something like 800 ALUs. Worth mentioning that this info doesn't really say much about clockspeeds either. I doubt the component was cheap sadly. Making the HW throw output to the gamepad at such low latency probably wasn't all that easy...

I still think its the CPU that has been the most disappointing and damaging to the console and its launch year. They probably only stuck with an evolution of their GC/Wii chips for backwards compatability... has there really been any benefit of that? It contributed to so much bad press and quite a few early shitty ports. If they learn to weather this generation, jettisoning their recent PPC-lineage should be the very first thing in the design document next time around!


On another note --
anyone downloaded Wii Sports Club yet?

So uh, apparently the PS4 version of COD Ghosts outsold the Wii U version in the UK. It's kind of like a dead person getting elected as a senator or something

The PS4 version of COD Ghosts actually outsold Assassins Creed 4 and Battlefield 4 on PS3 too. On Wii U its just another multiplat game, on PS4 its literally one of the only titles worth having... it's probably the top pre-ordered title for it.

GAME in the UK are using COD as a promo tool for PS4 and Xbox One, they have a lot of floorspace dedicated to those versions of the game. Contrastingly, when I picked up COD Ghosts for Wii U last Tuesday -- it didn't have any shop floor shelf space at all. I had to ask for it because it was kept behind the counter (on view, but behind the counter). I doubt Activision will be too surprised by the discrepancy, but PC and Wii U have accounted for <1% of COD Ghosts sales, which according to the MCV thread are already (all platforms totalled) way down on Black Ops II... so I'd guess they won't exactly be thrilled.

Ghosts' game population is looking better than BO2 after only a few days though, it seemed to take BO2 to take months to achieve a couple of thousands and people only seemed to play TDM... people are actually playing the other modes now. If it can keep adding some more people over christmas, it should be a healthier multiplayer than BO2 Wii U was. I seem to have ten people on my friends list (gaffers mostly) who are playing it at any one time too, which is nice.

I'm sure some Nintendo fan on gaf could list off the 30 or whatever indie games announced for the wii u. I just hope they start coming out soon. I picked up Cloudberry Kingdom tonight because I was in the mood to use my wii u more and its impressive how little comes out on a weekly bases. Anyway in terms of upcoming indies I'm pretty excited for Unepic. Its already on steam but it seems like it would work well on the gamepad so I'll hold out for now. I might just grab it during the winter sales though.

In other news I suck at Sonic :'( I ran out of lives in Lost World by the third stage which is really annoying because after you die it kicks you back to the main menu and it takes a minute or two to get back to the stage. I ended up playing the first level several times to keep grabbing an easy 1up  :(

I paid $200 for a barely-used Deluxe set with Nintendoland. Target's having B2G1 so I'll pick up Zelda & Luigi U for about $55-60 total (get W101 or Pikmin 3 as third game, flip).

$200 console, $30 games ... I'm happy to own a Wii U if I can pay what it's worth.  :jawalrus

I saw a boss that looked like Blind in one of the commercials and that pretty much said to me they'd rather piggyback off LttP nostalgia than come up with something new and worthy of the legacy. Farting out a sequel in true New Super Mario Bros. fashion (Wii/U excluded.)

On top of that it has poopy graphics.
