Today , Google has released Wii Street U in the wii u shop. Free for a "limited time". It is basically google maps for the wii u. It allows you to look around by moving the wii u controller around.
lol at any one that buys it
nearly all of japan will they love that craplol at any one that buys it
I bet the service will do exactly what the Wii Opera service did, free at first, charge for a while, then permanently give it free again. I don't know why they ever charged for it, just as I can't imagine why they'd ever charge for this service.
All that aside, its a pretty neat looking app, I don't really know what use it would serve, but its cool looking. I like the idea of taking what they do here and using it in a racing game (tv screen stays looking forward, but you can move the controller to your sides and behind you to see whats happening around you).
I like the different tours they have, wish it was a little more free roaming and maybe more high res?
It seems to me right now its very cool for free, if they charge for it the program needs to be very cheap.
As it stands right now, its something fun to play around with and I would tell any other Wii-U owners to give it a spin (Where it starts you out in Japan is pretty wild, sort of reminds me of some sort of flea market?)
I've had my Wii U crash on me a few times, mostly when using the internet browser. I really hope Nintendo fixes it soon.WTF...I was just browsing Amsterdam when my gamepad just crashed. At first I thought it was a dead battery (even though I charge it pretty much everytime I'm not using it), but now...I'm not sure.
It has probably nothing to do with the application, but this is pretty weird. And unfortunate.
Pretty much. I don't know if this is the panorama app they previewed a while ago, but it's a close second.Does it function like the Panorama app?
I had a play with the Panorama application at an expo and it was mind blowing look out of a Hot-air balloon, there was a gaggle of Geese flying past, amazing.Pretty much. I don't know if this is the panorama app they previewed a while ago, but it's a close second.
Yea, I don't remember if that's still being made, but it's definately not animated like those which sucks.I had a play with the Panorama application at an expo and it was mind blowing look out of a Hot-air balloon, there was a gaggle of Geese flying past, amazing.
I assumed it would be a free application like Nintendo Video on the 3DS, I woudn't pay for the app, its cool but a gimmick really.Yea, I don't remember if that's still being made, but it's definately not animated like those which sucks.
Last thing I heard about it was it being a paid application with multiple panorama. Their probably collecting footage so theirs more of a variety.
This was the last time they mentioned it, along with Wii Street U (Clipped o the time (17:12))I assumed it would be a free application like Nintendo Video on the 3DS, I woudn't pay for the app, its cool but a gimmick really.
