What would keep Nintendo in business is selling their games at $30 at launch and their systems for less than $200. As they stand they are far too overpriced for their content (or lack thereof). It's laughable that a 2.5D DK sidescroller 20 years later is going for $60.

They spend so freaking little on production that what's killing them is greed.


I never said games arn't overpriced, I live in Australia, generally we pay $90-$120 for new releases when we are almost 1-1 with the USD.... you don't need to tell me man.

My point was Piracy won't increase sales, and it won't.

Marcall pal , really i dont know why you even bother , you know this site already , just ignore the dumb comments , everything said in this thread has been done to death already , should just be locked. The conference detailed this info and the time to check issue . As soon a link took me to WiiU Hax this was going to be a drama.

means that it is a working progress (if this is true) the only reason i doubt this is because bubba and harry have there claims on it (and im guessin harry has posted the bootrom picture of the gamepad) clearly just some photo shop shit. also while puttin others names forwud claiming thanks to maxternal/marcan/delroth/joostin exc but yet joostin has said he knew and knows nuffin of it??? hmmmm sounds all abit fishy after having the four horseman (harry and bubba) with thier claims....

i see , but with the release of a system mod it is mainly going to be used for the reason of playing backups " no i am not interested in running linux on my console because i already do on my pc !" or run emulators because my pc does that really well .

and let us face it the wii u needs this to happen to boost the sales of units , because i am no longer going to shell out 60$ or 50$ for a mario/donkey kong game.

in the end this is my POV


And this POV is why the rest of us can't have nice things. Because for some reason you think you deserve free games. Do you work for free?

Sidenote; Congratulations to those who did manage to replicate the earlier work, assuming the "media whoring" was unintended as appears. The likes of you are why, sometimes, briefly, we CAN have nice things.

Let's not fight okay? I know it's not my job to tell you guys that but still. Seeing to (according to you guys) 'grown men' fight like this over the internet is pretty fun, but not here.

So far it seems pretty cool that we have a dumped boot rom, but what could we do with only the bootrom? I'm far more interested in homebrew this time, seeing what the Wii-U and the gamepad can do together.

I had my doubts to especially when seeing bubba was the first in the credits with what happend last time., but after reading, it seems to be legit. btw the main people behind this are Maxternal and MarioNum1 iirc.

I spent $68 on it and it was money that couldn't have gone towards a better game (that I don't already have, ofcourse).

What needs to be done now before we can give away our homebrews on the street?
Once a custom bootrom comes out, I doubt we'll be able install it without messing with the internals, so will we have to be waiting on an exploit to get a custom bootrom running or can it just be as simple as launching a homebrew app to do it for us on vWii?

As a complete Layman in the field, I have no idea how anyone can do stuff like this. It's so fascinating though, that people can find a vulnerability in a piece of hardware.. and to top it off can't be fixed with a firmware update and isn't encrypted. I can't begin to imagine what kind of knowledge/luck? is involved... Remarkable :)

So, what does this mean?

It means eventually we will be able to play a bunch of worthless children's games and a few subpar Nintendo releases absolutely free!

Or just buy the Wii U, along with Mario 3d, Call Of Duty, and Mario Kart 8 (when it's out) and have about the same amount of fun.

You should import your games from the UK ...there half the price ...or less ...including postage!

    @Psionic Roshambo, The Wii U gamepads are tied to the console's region, so its impossible to find a cheap gamepad that supports your model.

    Unless you modify your system, of course, and remove the region check.

    @Xdqwerty can we discuss chrono trigger
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    they could have added 75,000 bc like assassins creed. zeal was already establish in 12, 000 bc , soething before the kindom rose
