Re: Wii U Thread - Nov 30th @ $349 In Oz! Bayonetta 2 Wii U
I think I'm going to get one just when monster hunter comes out. (I might slow down my gaming for a few months - there is a huge pile of shit I have to get through now)
I still haven't bought stuff I said I was going to buy like Kingdom Hearts on 3ds yet. For some reason I was more excited when new portables were announced than an all-new wii console. Super Street Fighter on 3DS was what sold me on that.
Who is going to buy one on launch? 1080P with 60FPS should be default for next gen imo. All racers that dip below that should get lower scores unless they pump so many effects and shit on screen that we don't care. While RPGs like elder scrolls can go 30fps, if the draw distance and textures are nice. This is what I will be expecting. Also thousands of zombies in GTA and saints row at any one time which you can run over and there is individual damage modeling on their bodies, (actual bones snapping) and destructible buildings. (ramming a car into a store to loot the goodies should be possible, and all while the AI is top notch and changes depending on each unique situation so the reaction by individual npc is not the exact same each time - this should be where the next evolution in gaming takes place through the hardware)

Re: Wii U Thread - Nov 30th @ $349 In Oz! Bayonetta 2 Wii U
Now that nintendo was able to steal Bayonetta from other platforms, when will they pay sega to rebbot shenmue on Wii U like they did when Resident Evil was redone for Gamecube?
I think it is time sega let them own this property and become nintendo's bitch for the whole of next gen much like bandai namco kinda did for sony during ps1 era.
It's not like they have any money to make new games. Nintendo has devoted fanbase that will buy anything with pokemon or mario on it. Shenmue 1 2 3 trilogy. All done for next gen. Sega can then port that to PS4 and xb720 when they become available later.

Re: Wii U Thread - Nov 30th @ $349 In Oz! Bayonetta 2 Wii U
It's odd. They are advertising Wii U software and accessories though.
Maybe Amazon want to know exactly what their Wii U hardware allocation will be from Nintendo, before commencing preorders. Obviously if tens of thousands of people have preordered with them, and they can't fulfil those preorders, it's bad for the Amazon brand.
GameStop in America for instance only started taking Wii U preorders less than 48 hours ago, and they have already sold out of the deluxe model.

Wii U GamePad can be played 8 metres away from the Wii U console (it can be played further away, though for best performance it's about 8 metres max).
That's more than enough for me to play games or watch tv/movies, or even browse the internet on the GamePad in bed!

Apparently Cloud's bi-curious. He's now moved onto my dad.

Re: Wii U Thread - Nov 30th @ $349 In Oz! Bayonetta 2 Wii U
Use your imagination.
Sometimes if there are two or more people living together, there are times when people want to watch different shows on television, or somebody wants to play a videogame but another wants to watch tv, etc...
I can play New Super Mario Bros U on my GamePad in another room, whilst my sugar daddy can watch NCIS on television.
Or I can watch Family Guy on my GamePad snuggled up in bed, whilst he watches True Blood on television.
As for the "little screen", it's actually a fairly decent size - 6.2 inch, 16:9 screen.

Most households here in the first world have more than one TV, socco. Maybe you could sell some more Nintendo gear to fund a purchase? Saves you having to share with mum and dad.

854×480, 158 PPI which is perfectly fine for a 6.2 inch screen (and especially considering the video is being streamed wirelessly without latency)

And it continues........
Best Buy, America's largest electronics retailer has just announced that they have SOLD OUT of all preorders for both the Wii U Basic & Deluxe models.
This is going to be Wii pre and post launch madness all over again (especially with Wii U launching soon before the Black Friday shopping frenzy in the States and of course the Christmas season).

The thing to remember about the GamePad in comparison with something like the PS Vita is that sure - it has lower resolution and fewer PPI while being physically bigger and weighing more and it has resistive instead of capacitive touch, but unlike the Vita it can be placed in a special cradle (if you buy the elite black version) so you don't have to even use it. That's a feature that Sony never thought about.Ben wrote:What's the resolution on the gamepad screen for that matter?
