I'd love to know what the demand is and how many of these they're producing. I would have paid cash for one last year when Zelda came out it's still to limit it to these short runs on Club Nintendo.

Underwhelmed posted:The current 360 slims are double in size, I have an old fat model, and it could probably eat 3 or 4 WiiUs. My old Xbox (original) is sitting on the lower shelf of my entertainment center and that could probably eat 8 or 9. You have absolutely no concept of size or volume. The original Xbox couldn't fit 8 or 9 Wiis, let alone that many Wii Us. My Wii U is sitting next to my original 360 and my super-slim PS3. The PS3 and U are roughly equivalent, and the 360 is probably 1.5X larger.

Exaggeration is the bread and butter of a joke, I've heard. Someone was complaining about the size of the WiiU and I sort of defended saying that it's way smaller than the 360 for probably more power.

As to the guy mentioning the Red wiimote/nunchuk, there's a special edition of Xenoblade in the UK (I don't know if it made it to the US) that has a bundled Red Classic Controller Pro in it if you want that too.Teenage Fansub posted:With the Euro/Aus/NZ launch two days away, is there any news about streaming apps for those territories to replace Netflix and Hulu? Nope. We never get anything like that.

This is pretty odd to me but the Wii U Browser loads 720/1080 videos in Youtube significantly faster than my computer.

Try this if you haven't on your computer(assuming you use Windows): Go to Internet Options in Control Panel. Go to Connections. Go to LAN settings. Uncheck the "automatically detect settings" box. Solved a lot of Youtube weirdness for me. Also Steam client weirdness.

I had to do the same the other day with Warriors Orochi 3 and yeah, it took a huge amount of time to install after downloading. Also, WO3 is 16GB. It's the FEAR of WiiU.

Was just gonna post bitching about the download/install times. Took 8 hours to download Sonic on my pretty sweet connection and an hour to install. Not likely to buy any games off the eShop again after that. Anyone know if it's any faster if you use an external HD?

Could I get some more impressions of Warriors Orochi 3? I saw some streaming a while back and what I did see seemed to be great in terms of frame rate and not bad with enemy pop up, but that was just tiny bit of one level. Is the release as bad as the reviews say?

Can anyone help me with the Nintendoland Pikmin game? I was playing multiplayer on the second Extra stage, Desperate Dash, and then we found out that Olimar can't jump. We can't figure out how to get past the very first set of blocks. Help please! (Posted from Wii U)

Then have fun waiting until Yoshi land is officially revealed one month before release. Nintendo is fairly leak-proof and I'm pretty skeptical that any of it is true, but if it is, Nintendo has had leaks before and their approach is to tape it up and say "What leak, no idea what you're talking about" and "ha ha, anyways.." during interviews.

Some kid got into a mockup admin testing page on Miiverse which had Yoshi Land listed, but I don't think retailers would be entering it into their system based on a GAF poster, so I gotta be fairly sure it's happening. On the new Giantbomb podcast they're saying Nintendoland games don't save your progress, so you'll have to start Fruit Kart from stage one each time. That isn't so is it?

Ninjas, fruit kart, f-zero, the balloon game and donkey kong don't save progress. They are, however, pretty short. The air ride can be completed in like 20 minutes (if you last that long), Donkey kong in half that, etc. It's really dumb you can't just pick the advanced levels though. They should at least give you the option once you've fully beat the game. The challenge comes from endurance and if you've already overcome the challenge they should just let you gently caress around with levels freely.

They all work differently, but most of the ones with "levels" do save your progress. Fruit Kart saves your progress in the form of warp doors that let you pass large numbers of levels you've already completed.

Any campaign-based game saves your progress after each level is cleared and the next one is unlocked.

Frame rate has some slow downs during Musou and there is some pop up but it looks better to me then 7 did on the PS3, the game has a ridiculous amount of content it seems.

Then don't play the party mode. Though I can't picture what's too easy. Zelda and Pikmin are just sad for the first 3 levels but it rapidly becomes bullshit hard. I hate zelda. EDIT: Does anyone else see "?" when a friend is playing BLOPS2? That's a pretty bizarre bug. BLOPS2 multiplayer also seems to cut off the OS, which is just awful. extremebuff fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Nov 28, 2012 |

Both times we did the zelda minigame during the 9 game set, it just gave us the first archery level (which is interesting, but kinda trivial after the first time through). Also party mode for more than two people was silly, because it would just 2 player games and have the third guy bet on the winner.

Does anyone know if someone has done something like this on purpose? Like, create a fake access panel that crafty gamers would find out about and "leak" info, while they're actually advertizing a new game? I mean, nowadays, most games are confirmed through rumors and leaks. Seems like this could work.
