C'mon, this is like Vita lovers saying what you have just said because the Japanese support was not as good as 3DS. I'm just saying you should buy whatever that is interesting to you.

wait what really??!!
Really?
I usually don't have any problem joining a full lobby. They're usually new players with low rankings tho.
We should teach Suda lesson that any game he make only sell good on Nintendo consoles.
For Platinum I love them no need to say that any game from them will get day one.
They never released a patch, just did server maintenance, and to me, it's fixed. Before I could never get paired up with enough people to start a match. But I've played everyday after work for the past week, after the maintenance, no problems. Full lobbies. I even raged quit a match, and connected to a diff lobby instantly.
edit: Splinter Cell DLC was just announced for WiiU. 2 (co-op?) maps... Billionaire’s Yacht and Dead Coast

I'm more surprised that there are people still playing...and enough people too. I never got to play online...I guess I should check it out?
Ironically enough, I managed to get into a game IMMEDIATELY they day I got my copy (sometime in July, I think) after getting through the tutorial. But then never again. I'll definitely hop on to see if luck is on my side now. Loved the AC MP in Brotherhood and it's the only thing I really spent time on in Revelations so far.
Not that surprising, it is the only kart racer out now for Wii U until Mario Kart comes out and Nintendo owners love their kart racers.

Local only as far as we know.
The guy above you was talking about Sonic, oh well. lol.
I think it is local only.
European prices are still shitty for that one. Couldn't be scammed into paying for Live so I never played the multiplayer on 360. Would've loved to try it out on Wii U but EA's ridiculous price and general business policies (Trilogy set?) kept me from that.

...no he wasn't. Read those posts again.
I'm not sure if Europe Amazon prices the same as American Amazon, but I got it through them a month back for $17. I believe it's still at that price.
I was bummed about the way EA handled the game as well with the trilogy and all that but I really wanted to see what this series was about and couldn't pass it up for $17. I'm happy I didn't because I already have around 150 hours in it and loving every minute. Single player is great too, but I'm addicted to the multiplayer.

I played AC3 a lot in April, but was never able to connect to anybody. Maybe I'll fire it up and try again one of these days.
I'm critical of Nintendo for not including online in some of their games (most egregiously NSMBU and SM3DW), but for Wii Party U I suppose it wouldn't really add a whole lot.
My question about that game is whether we know anything about a possible eshop release? $50 with a WM+ means it should be no more than $20 on the eshop. I'd probably bite at that price.
Ah, I see.
Well, the WM+ is offered for a limited time(If I recall it correctly). I doubt the price will be below $20. They might do what Atlus did with SMTIV. SMTIV LE is the same price of the standard game.

Wii Party U is not $50 if you look around. $39.99 pre-order on Newegg, which looks to include the Wii Remote + and the stand.
Preordered mine yesterday.
Also their description says this:
"- Online multiplayer support was hinted at by Nintendo, a feature which would involve a new set of mini games specifically tailored for online multiplayer."
I'd like to get this bundle since I need a new Wii Remote+ and I'm sure the stand will come handy but I'm not sure about the game itself :/
It looks... dull. If it played like Crash Bash I would be interested tho :/
Cool. Does Newegg have free shipping? I've never bought from them before.
Project CARS is missing the "off TV play" ribbon. It's one of the features announced in their old PDF presentation : http://www.wmdportal.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/WMD_Overview_160212.pdf

Yes, they do.
Go get it. Basically at $40 you are just going the game for free plus you get a stand. Not a bad deal right?
So I guess crowdfunding shouldn't be done for games?
And whats wrong with developers wanting to know if there is even a market
for their game on a particular console? Who is ready to invest a year or two on a game
and risk going bankrupt because consumers simply didnt show interest in your title?
How often do developers read,
"I buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games?"
Or, when somebody asks what games can I get on the WiiU or Wii, for the most part
people mention first party titles. Developers notice this too.
Sales for Splinter Cell on the WiiU sucked, sales for Rayman were better, guess what kind of games publishers are going to assume WiiU owners want.
Publishers/developers may have missed some chances to bring their games to the Nintendo platforms, but its not like they are getting a good indication that the consumers really want their games.
If the big third parties dont sell well this Holiday on the WiiU, get ready to own a fantastic console for platformers.

Yes, they have free shipping.
Total comes to $42.99, including $3 tax for California.
And you've heard what exactly ?

So what's the deal with Wii Fit U? Is it just new software or are they making a new balance board? My mom wants Wii Fit and AI don't know if I should just get the old one for her and let her use my old Wii or wait for this version...
New software, same balance board. I'd wait for the new one if I were you.
Pro tip: (sounds like you don't have a balance board yet) buy a used balance board NOW on the cheap, get the wii fit u trial month for free and then just buy the fit meter (to remove the trial limit) and save some major $$$.

Just pre-ordered Wii Party U from newegg.com. Great deal since I only have two Wiimote +'s. Hopefully it's as good as the first.

Teaching moment time!
Freezing is when the user interface of some software (the visual part) becomes unresponsive to user input. This can be because of bad programming, where the user interface part of the program is just too busy handling some task that it doesn't respond to user input. Usually that's why developers are generally supposed to do long-running tasks in the background (a background thread if you have any background in this area) so that your program always responsive to the user. Clearly as the software becomes more complex (like an OS), programmers could potentially mess this up.
I wasn't really interested in Wii Party U, but that's a great deal with the Wii Remote Plus, which I don't have. Went ahead and ordered it. Thanks for the link!
That would be so, so, so very lame :/

Indeed. This is why AJAX is now so popular on the web, as it keep the interface responsive while a long running task runs asynchronously in the background.
Please tell me these are joke posts. Otherwise, wow.

O come on, it's one of my most wanted games. -.-
Well, think about it, for now, as a...reliable rumor.

Watchdogs delayed and no hacking. Then blame Nintendo.
Meh.. I can wait.
AC4, Batman Origins, DKC:TF and SM3DW are my priorities this Holiday season.
Would be great for my financials but absolutely terrible for Wii U perception, sales and the lineup overall. Ugh. But if the game needs more time on Wii U I'd rather have them do it properly rather than give us an unfinished version.
Let's see how it develops or if it's even true.

I'd really love to hear the reason why if this happens.
