Cobra "UDE" Announced (Wii U)

[Celice]

I don't think one should say anything about competition in the field of ODEs for WiiU, since both Wiikey U and UDE are nothing but websites at this point.

I can too, do a website advertising TURD (Turbo Utility for Rewriting Data) for WiiU, that has claims out of my ass, like playing games straight from Torrent sites, coming soon to Walmart/MediaMarkt/Biedronka near you.

I'll buy ten.

Bayonetta 1 and 2
X
Star fox
Splatoon (yes, it looked cool, shut your trap)
Yoshi's Woolly World
Hyrule Warriors
Captain Toad
Kirby


Shall we compare it to PS4 and Xbone?

Just saying...

The Wii U launched 2012 and here we are in 2014 still waiting for game releases that come late 2014 and 2015.
Just saying.

Not exactly a fair comparison, or comprehensive as far as lists go.

Slow and steady wins the race.

I don't seem to understand quite well; what exactly is the goal of this UDE (or ODE) thingy? To play games on an external hard-drive without the need of the original disc? Like ISOs or something? Like USB Loader does?

I'm kind of confused, right now.

Yes sirreeeeeee bob!

What? I don't understand, were you trying to answer me or...

Yes I was. Its for usb loading

 

[MaxiGamer™]

Yes I was. Its for usb loading

What do you mean? That it acts like USB Loader?

 

[linuxares]

What do you mean? That it acts like USB Loader?

The ODE unit acts like a hardware usb loader.

The ODE tells the Wii U that the CD/DVD/Bluray/Magic Nintendo Voodoo disc reader, that it's loaded a game. The Wii U can't see that it's a ODE device and loads it. The Cobra or Wiikey U keeps emulating and letting you play from a USB drive.

Cool! Are there any ISOs yet? I guess not since Wiikey U nor UDE have been released yet.

It almost became a tradition with Nintendo to launch systems with no notable first-party releases, which is a curious phenomenon - they're expecting third-party to push the console at launch while having terrible relations with third-party developers. The last Nintendo system that launched with worthwhile Nintendo content was probably the N64 with Mario 64, maybe the Gamecube with Luigi's Mansion, but that game had nowhere near as much "bang". The Big N seems to release the most high-profile games long after the launch hype period, and that's a bad idea.

Iwata and Reggie said it multiple times, There were supposed to be some good 1st and 2nd party games ready for the launch window but they were all delayed unfortunately. They didn't plan it that way. They were supposed to have New Super Mario bros U, Pkmin 3, Wonderful 101 and Zelda windwaker HD for launch window ... they actually had a pretty good 3rd party lineup at launch http://ca.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Wii_U_Launch_Games_(US) ZombiU, Nano Assault Neo, Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate, Scribblenauts Unlimited where launch window exclusive 3rd party. Rayman Legend was supposed to be one of those but we all know what happened ... better than the PS4 imho (the best PS4 launch title was resogun ... this is a bit shameful). I've never seen you post positive stuff about the wii u so I guess you're just not a fan in general :/

This is not their first botched launch - they have a long tradition of falling on their face in the initial few months.

I like the concept of the Wii U, I question the execution. I simply expected more from the system that was Nintendo's supposed "return to the core gamer". As I once heard online, Nintendo dipped one toe back into the industry, shuddered, complained that it's cold and retreated back into their comfort zone of casual gaming, a niche that no longer exists as it was taken over by smartphones and dedicated gaming devices are no longer welcome in it.

I feel you :S There's a lot of things they could improve but I think Nintendo is able to make amazing casual/core games though (games that are not 100% casual or core) .. I used to work for one of the biggest IOS game studio and I hate every single IOS games. I hate the controls and the quality of those games is nothing close to what Nintendo is doing. I'm a JRPG fan and I bought a Wii U for Xenoblade Chronicles X and SMT X Fire Emblem but I really enjoy Mario, Zelda, W101, DK ect ... On the other hand I hate every single 1st person shooter or 3rd person Action games that try to much to be like a movie so I would say that Nintendo is the perfect fit for me. I might buy a PS4 at some point but so far FF15 looks like an action game so the only reason would be KH3

There are Wii U game rips available. The optical discs Nin10doh uses were developed by Panasonic, and are fairly similar to Blu-ray discs (to a point), so it was only a matter of time until the games were ripped.

What developer isn't going to want to create new games for a struggling system that already allows piracy?

 

[Parasite X]

This is awesome news I wonder if we will be able to launch backupswith this

Good point...piracy isn't going to make its situation any worse. That's just it, it isn't going to affect it.

Well yeah, that's the whole point of ODEs.

And for those mentioning piracy blah blah blah

Piracy kills game systems

There is no correlation between systems that fail (or succeed) and piracy. Multiple systems have failed terribly without any piracy in their lifetime (Virtual Boy, N-Gage, CD-i), while other systems that had piracy enabled for the majority of their lifetime ended up being some of the top sellers of their generation (PS1, Wii, GBA, DS, etc.)

This holds true for games as well, for example the PS3 was the last console of the 7th generation to be hacked (and patched the hacks quickly and recent models are unhackable), yet it sold many less games than the Wii, which was the first to be hacked (and does not patch hacks quickly, and still has hackable models being sold).
