Oddly enough, some games seem to look better on the screen while others look worse. AC3 looks noticeably better to me, NSMBU and BLOPS2 looks a tad muddier, but only ever so slightly. The screen is overall pretty alright. The light bleeding is a bit much but other than that, I'm impressed with the image quality
The revelation that the TV controls doesnt work with receivers has me disappointed. No biggie
How are y'all setting up ur system. On the stand or just horizontal. Don't know why, just interested
Checking in here..
I've gotten to play around with Mario for about 6 hours or so before bedtime tonight. It is a delicious game. The uPad is a joy to use, and I've had no issues with the system since getting the updates done. Mario's going to keep me happy for a while, and then it'll be time for ZombiU.. which should, at the very least, be quite interesting.
From a quick ten-minute glance at GAF's Gaming side threads - outside of this fine thread - it's like I've played a different system today. What a shocker.![]()
I feel the same way. I played 4 hours of Warriors Orochi and i had a blast. I know its a "bad port" but its still fun as hell.From a quick ten-minute glance at GAF's Gaming side threads - outside of this fine thread - it's like I've played a different system today. What a shocker.![]()
omg ur such a nintard fanboy lmao thats the only reason u could be so level headed about such an abyss mall launch

Lots of bugs to work out (the sluggish UI and no receiver control are the biggest for me) but I expected that at launch and hope they patch the issues.
Lots of people seem to forget just how long the 3DS used to take to boot up its apps (for the best example, the eShop) After the big patch a while back, boot-up time for the eShop was cut to a third of what it used to be.
I fully expect there to be a similar patch for the Wii U in time.

I kinda miss the loading music, it's so fast now that you only hear a couple notes
Does the disc light always stay on?
EDIT: On the stand.
Can't believe Nintendo allowed drawings on miiverse. Ratio of penises:Yoshis will be too high. I can see myself locking my kids accounts to see only friends miiverse comments, which will be hardly any when diluted across all games
Aww.. poop!Hey HT, nice to see you again. Now RUN THE FUCK AWAY FROM THIS THREAD AS FAST AS YOu CAN!![]()
Maybe they've developed some super accurate penis detecting algorithm?
Out of all the games I got at launch, I really regret buying AC3. It runs like ass and it's incredibly boring 1hr in... :-(

The Gamepad is amazing.
So much premature hate on this board, it's probably not surprising but always amusing.
I can't wait til the system is tweaked and more original games come out.
I don't even have an HD TV currently but I'm having a great time with New Super Mario Brothers U on the Gamepad and not even looking at it on my oldish TV.
I see tons of potential with this system.
There's a lot of work and effort to be done though.
Unfortunately AC3 is a real slow burn and only picks up 5-6 hours in.
I really want one.
I've preordered one from ShopTo since months ago.
I love the look of some of the games in Nintendo Land and I haven't played a "New" Super Mario Bros. game before, so I'm really looking forward to that.
Main question: Should I get one to play all the Wii games I didn't get to play on it? I really want to play SMG2.
Anyway I'll be getting one because of Pikmin and HD Zelda (oh that demo still makes me jizz thinking about it).
The Wii to Wii U transfer is the greatest load time screen ever.
Pretty much. US has most people "testing" it.so, someone correct me if I am wrong with my predictions.
USA LAUNCH = Loads of issues, consoles crashing, OS unstable, etc.
EU LAUNCH = A lot of the OS stability issues have been fixed with a new day one update.
JP LAUNCH = Flawless, of course. Cheers for beta testing, rest of the world!
I was playing AC3 on it, and I didn't really care. So far the most polished 3rd party game out there?I have not had much time to look at the 2GB 48% slow RAM thread. After playing some games on this thing I don't really care![]()

Seeing shit getting transfered has never been entertaining. Honestly, why the hell did they spend time making a fantasting transfer screen, complete with depth of field effects and whatnot, rather than polish up some of the more glaring issues the system has?
Priorities, I guess. "Gotta have dem Pikmin!"

from what i've played, the nsmb games aside from the very first one have been very good. nsmbu is probably one of the better ones.
have you ever owned a wii and its games? there's quite a lot to have missed if you never picked one up. i'd recommend super mario galaxy 2 over super mario galaxy about a thousand times over. any other genres aside platforming you're interested in?
Yeah I owned a Wii up until 2009 when I had no money (student) and sold it (although for more than GAME usually buy them for).
I played Twilight Princess, SMG, Super Paper Mario, Wario Ware, Wii Sports & Resort and erm... Red Steel. I honestly can't remember the other games I played. I know I've got lots of other games to play.
I want to play SMG2, DKCR, Xenoblade, TLoZ:SS.
Any other glaring omissions?
And Wii games look a little bit better on Wii U, right?
Metroid Prime 3
Yeah!Reggie should be imprisoned for these crimes against humanity.
Can you do system updates in the background as well?Now that I've discovered you can have game updates run in the background while you play I've stopped worrying about them too.
now THAT is a Movember stache!
You could always say they're mushrooms...?Maybe they've developed some super accurate penis detecting algorithm?
