WiiU - Part 3

[Travesty]

Mario Kart, New Super Mario U and Zelda:Wind Waker all have a bundle.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Itagaki's the Devil's Third will now be a Wii U exclusive.

 

[Tron Bonne]

That, to me, was really the big megaton. I thought that game was dead, and now its back. Awesome! A lot of salt for Nintendo stealing this one, but I'm guessing it's probably in the same situation as Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo probably saved this one more than anything. I just can't wait. I'm not going to expect Ninja Gaiden level quality, but holy ****, this guy has really proven he's a master amongst pupils with his previous games. Hoping he's still got that touch.

 

[Silvermoth]

So WiiU is good? My Wii broke a few years ago and I haven't bought another Nintendo system since. And I miss playing Nintendo games so wondering if I should invest in a WiiU and what are some good games for it if I decide to.

It's superb in my opinion. I like my ps4 for the triple a titles but I love my wii u because it makes me happy (plus it has more games coming soon that I think I'll love)

 

[Joker's Lackey]

Mk8, Xenoblade and that new Zelda they just showed off makes a WiiU purchase justified.

Can't wait to get my hands on Zelda n Xenoblade

 

[X Knight]

so I'm now interested in the Wii U cuz of Zelda.

but I had a question. I see that the storage for a Wii U is only 32gb. that seems very small compared to the 500gbs of the PS4 and X1, or even the 250gbs of the PS3/360.

why is that?

does that mean the Wii U game data isn't very large?

should I wait for them to release a console with more storage?

can you add more storage with memory cards or something?

 

[Travesty]

They have an SD slot if you need more memory.

 

[X Knight]

thanks. so I shouldn't worry too much about the 32gbs being too small?

you don't actually have to install the games like you do with the PS4/X1, right?

 

[Travesty]

Oh, no, if you have the physical disc, you can just play off of that. You don't install it like the X1 and PS3/4.

 

[X Knight]

ah, thanks.

 

[Benstamania]

External HDD I believe.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

With Bayonetta, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, and Smash Bros., it is going to be a good holiday season for the Wii U.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm hearing that Hyrule Warriors is very boring. :/

 

[O_B_Juan]

thanks. so I shouldn't worry too much about the 32gbs being too small?

Our Wii U has trouble running Netflix, Amazon Prime and Youtube.Those apps seem to run much better when you don't have alot of saves on the hard drive.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm hearing that Hyrule Warriors is very boring. :/

Its a Dynasty Warriors game.......

(btw, thats not to say I'm not gonna buy it and enjoy the hell out of it, but it is Dynasty Warriors which has a reputation for boredom)

 

[Travesty]

I'm not a fan of Dynasty Warriors, so I'm not getting Hyrule Warriors. But if you like it, I'm sure it'll be fun. I know my friend is very excited about it.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I like the mindlessness of Dynasty Warriors and I love Zelda. Win-Win for me.

 

[Tron Bonne]

For a lot of people, it's boring, but I have friend who loves the franchise, and it's anything but boring to him. He buys all of those things and plays the **** out of them. I don't get it, but there's a very dedicated audience out there for it.

 

[Travesty]

People like what they like. I know a ton of people who hate COD, and think that's boring, but I love playing those games. They're pretty much mindless fun, too.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Looks like Metroid Zero Mission is coming to the JP VC, so it'll probably be in NA/EU fairly soon. They've done a good job of keeping the GBA titles pretty in line with all regions thus far.

so, for a Wii U newbie, what would be some of the better games to start with?

also, has there been any talk of releasing a 64gb or higher version in the future?

and, can I play Wii games ( like Skyward Sword, Metroid, and that Capcom fighting game ) on the Wii U?

If you're just buying a Wii U, BUY MARIO KART 8!!! It's an amazing game and if you register it on the Club Nintendo website, you get one of 4 Wii U games free. That's an amazing deal.

There's no news of a bigger hard drive Wii U, but they let you plug any external drive into it to store things, so the hard drive really isn't a big deal.

You can play all Wii games on the Wii U, including any Virtual Console stuff you may have purchased. There's a Wii menu within the Wii U that basically emulates the Wii. You can't do any Gamecube stuff, but it's completely backwards compatible with the Wii.

 

[X Knight]

^^ thanks!!

and all the games you purchase/download from the Virtual Console, you get to keep them, right? It's just like downloading stuff from the PSN store, right?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, you own them. You get points for every dollar you spend on the Wii U eShop. Once you get 500 points, you get a $5 voucher.
