Remember that stunt they pulled with the Wii's launch? Zelda was obviously the biggest game, but it required a Nunchuck attachment, which was not included
No I don't remember that, mainly because it DID come with the nunchuck.

Maybe he meant it wasn't included with Zelda :lol:

edit- :ninja: 'd
Thanks Xuphor for clarification.

Dunno, but my launch unit came from Walmart, after waiting in line for 8 hours. All it had was the Wii, one Wiimote, and Wii Sports. Nothing else at all.

Well, you either didn't search the box properly or someone had nicked it before you bought it.

As far as rumors go, this one certainly doesn't sound too unlikely. I'll hold onto my suspicions until Nintendo makes the announcement themselves, but I can't see it differing too greatly.

I personally don't give a damn about the launch date anymore. I just want a good price + good launch games = sold.

A number of really good launch games have already been announced for Wii-U. Assassin's Creed 3 and Darksiders 2 are two of them, both of which use the Wii-U's controller in a unusual way.

Yes, so it's mainly the price.

Nintendo has taught me not to buy their systems if they rushed.

I get the feeling that most handheld/console releases from here on out will feature mostly ports or "enhanced" ports as launch titles. :

Darksiders II I may play months before, not at all fussed about AC3 and Arkham City should be launch too but already on my 3rd play through on that. I do reckon Pikmin 3 will be launching, plus I'm sure Nintendo will pack in something like they showed at E3. I think Killer Freaks From Outer Space & Ghost Recon Online will be out at launch maybe. Still needs more titles that won't be on other consoles or PC.

We'll see what there is at E3, I reckon they're going to put more into this launch than with any launch they've done before. They need to do a lot to impress those who generally ignore Nintendo now.

If it has no multiplats then it is a bad system lacking in games
if it has multiplats then it's a port machine.

Given these statements prowler, I would be lead to assume you have a list of the Wii U titles currently in development. Would you like to share with us how many of them are exclusives and how many are ports?

Wait... It's coming out in the US before Japan.

IT IS COMING OUT IN THE US BEFORE JAPAN!
This is a Nintendo first.
No it isn't, this always happens
3DS came out in Japan before the US. Same with the Wii. And most, if not all DS versions.

Just a little note:

Wii

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
