HMV In London Says Smash Bros Wii U Will Be Coming November 28th

Only BO2 pulled this off for a Wii U game but that also applies for Wii mode when playing games like Metroid Prime so its not just 3rd parties using it differently. Super Mario 3D World used the Gamepad features more differently from Rayman.

And yes, no matter what COD game it is, the series has been unoriginal and rehashed since COD4 with the exception of WaW and BO2.

No livestreaming feature, currently doesn’t have Elite, etc

No off tv play and no way of affecting other players in local multiplayer via the touch screen, and no second stick or L2/3 buttons.
Display is also smaller.
So, no. Not a 3ds snapped in half.

“Actually, you could’ve said DS since it came first with dual screen display so epic fail there.”

Okay. Thank you for proving my point.

The rest you saud was a pathetic excuse of a comeback.

And you seem to have been dropped on your head multiple times because you have got to be a dumbass to not have seen my other comment correcting myself immediately after.

LMAO!

:P

Sorry, but your point is just as idiotic; better power does NOT guarantee better games, nor even better graphical aesthetics.
And it CERTAINLY isn’t going to guarantee better first or third party anything.
Selling off of graphics will only work so long; after a point that is coming up very quickly, they won’t be able to do anything than minor improvements over long periods of time. Minor enough that they won’t be huge selling points any longer.

And after all the time spent relying on that, it’s stifled much of their ability to think of making games with more emphasis on gameplay than on graphics.
So no, it hasn’t already won jack shit.

Your trolling is horrible! Just stop!!! Pleaaase!

If you already have a PC and a PS3, then I don’t see what is preventing you from getting a PS4. It is definitely going to get exclusives that you like in the future. And considering how many great and fun exclusives the PS3 got last gen, you are basically already guaranteed the PS4 will go through the exact same thing. It will get tons of exclusives. Nothing to worry about.

I already have a 2TB Hard Drive for my Wii U. I was gonna download every game I get but then I looked at the seriously sexy looking Wii U boxes and the store… No way am I going digital yet! I’m holding Mario Kart 8’s glorious red case in my hand as we speak and for some reason, I just LOVE repeatedly opening and closing the case over and over again. And running my fingers over that smooth soft disc… Oh my. And the box at on the front and back of games can be really cool to look at too. Like WWHD has all those Zelda characters from the game on it and the case it’s covered in with a shiny color of gold with the Wii U’s signature blue on the outsides. It’s just too amazing right now for me to give up and switch to digital. I have 3D World and NSMBU on my hard drive which is the biggest mistake I have ever made. Their retail cases are filled with so much color and awesomeness on the cover! What was I thinking? :( *cries*

LOL, hollow, maybe you need the sisters from the forest temple to help you out.

I urge you to play it then friend, the sisters are ghosts of the forest temple, a bitch to solve but nothing best that water temple in Ocarina of Time. they look nothing like in the video…they tried but failed. still the video was great, its a remix of the forest temple of OoT. Play legend of Zelda OoT 3d if you want better visuals and faster gameplay.

You’re one to talk since you have nothing else to say at this point. XD Otherwise, spill it or lose it.

HEEEEeeey, for once we agree on something, pokemon…specially rumble and the newer generation pokemon…but then again, I could never get used to a an electric rat fighting my battles. I just don’t see the point in it.

Why let a little shit like that fight for my battles when I can do it myself? Sure I realize their potential and dangerous powers but come on, Someone has to fight their own battles now and then instead of…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBVrPWwSlRM

I mean its one sided…same to yugioh or vanguard or whoever the fuck uses cards or mons to fight, digimon is no acception either

World 9-8 of NSMBW was brutal :(

At least it gives more of a challenge than the pathetic six final levels in NSMBU. Lol.

That was a fail attempt trying to sound like a tough guy who wasn’t butthurt at the truth.

No, the correct thing that I’m trying to say which you can’t get through that Thick Sonyan Skull of your’s is “You are retarded.”

First it was “facts”, not that they were facts in the first place, now it’s an opinion? Which is it? Or are you too much of a dumb ass to figure out what you are trying to say?

You’re really proving my point right now. Comparing a PS4 to a Wii U is like comparing a printer to a typewriter. It’s incredible how you actually praise the way Nintendo tries to go cheapskate over EVERYTHING, even the programming shit they use. So you’re either blind or are so delusional that you think the Wii U doesn’t have PS3 visuals

Again, Wii U is weak. It’s built differently and everybody who has an embarrassing intelligence and attention span to figure that out is a freaking joke.

Where in my comment did I say the Wii U was a joke? Don’t put words in my mouth. But meh, scratch that, it’s complete garbage
You’re really blind, you know that? I’ve stated so many times how PCs can’t be compared to consoles, even in this news article, and you guys still call the PS4 an underpowered console. Please read my reasoning and we can have a conversation that actually makes sense

My point exactly. Thanks

Yeah you are, you are trying to unify stupid.

Wow, look at all the bais in your comment, thinking only Nintendo has fanboys. Typical of a Sony fanboy.

You say there are reasons but failed to disclose those reasons so allow me to say why PC stomps ALL consoles: Robust and FREE online interactivity, upgradable and custom specs so you can save money from wasting another $400-600 for a new console model that’s still behind PC’s technical standards, tons more features, software and limitless access to more Internet content and no in-system DRM BS like what Microsoft tried to pull on Xbox One. Oh and did I forget to mention about tons of indies too? X3 Sorry but you lose.

Tons of indies????? So you’re saying consoles don’t have games like Hohokum, Doki-Doki Universe, The Witness, Transistor, Don’t Starve, Mercenary Kings, Octodad, Outlast, Abe’s Oddysee: New n’ Tasty, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Minecraft, Volume, Rime, Rogue Legacy, The Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Fez, N++, Guns of Icarus Online, Velocity 2X, Helldiver, Assault Android Cactus, Final Horizon, Samurai Gunn, Starbound,
Road Not Taken, 1,001 Spikes, Contrast , and Awesomenauts???

“Are you really that stupid? Nintendo already said that the idea of the GamePad WAS FROM THE IPAD. So your argument in completely invalid”.

Can you show me that one? Because I don’t remember Nintendo saying that at all about the ipad.

The fact that every other console, last gen and current gen is already confirmed to get the game isn’t saying much. Activision used to not care about losing Monet on the Wii U and they happily ported 2 CoD’s on Wii U, but now looking at low Wii U sales, it looks like even they have given up. This console (Wii U) is probably going to get the WORST 3rd party support than any other Nintendo console in history. Even the Wii got more support despite the fact that it got gimped ports.

Lol Yes, but you have to understand that it is the other way around over there. Wii U has sold more than Xbox One, but third party games sell like crap on it. Those 8+million Wii U users didn’t buy their Wii U to play third party games. Whereas, Xbox One users mainly play 3rd party games and they end up selling twice as much than they would on the Wii U. The Wii proved this as well. Sold 100+million units and games still sold bad. How the fuck is that even possible? Lol. But anyways, people bought a Wii to play Nintendo games and it will be the same way this gen. Wii U for Nintendo games.

I can write you a book about why Wii U and 3DS aren’t getting any games from 3rd parties, but I’ll just give you some of the most obvious reasons. :3 1: The Wii. Nintendo did not make the Wii to compete with the other 2. It did not get most of the other console games due to its hardware. And the Wii damaged Nintendo’s reputation a lot. Now a lot of people (even developers) think that anything (and I mean anything) with the word Wii in it means that it would be lackluster and missing a lot of things again just like the Wii did. (Which actually ended up being true) As for 3DS, that’s a completely different market. Nintendo is the only one that has succeeded with handhelds. Everyone else does not care. Just like the Wii U, people didn’t buy a 3DS for third party games, but for Nintendo games. And plus, 3DS is not very powerful. I am not being funny. It is really underpowered compared to most other devices we have today. If it has Vita’s power for example, it would probably have some more games due to that extra power. So there you have it. That’s why. It actually goes back even further than this though. Third parties have never sold well on Nintendo platforms at all so they decided “Hey, why are we still trying to make games for these systems? We aren’t getting any money!” So they left. I guess Wii U was the last straw for them.

Stranga, I think you are missing the point. Hi Definition is required to make games of today look and play the way they are. Notice how some PS3 and 360 games are MUCH bigger in terms of content compared to the Wii versions of games. It does contribute to gameplay. And to some people the specs do matter because if they are buying a new product, they obviously want it to be stronger than the previous products they used. And that’s the problem. The “damn games” just aren’t there. They choose to buy a specific console in order to play specific games. And the Wii U is mainly offering you only Nintendo games with the exception of a few third party here and there. The name is only because of the system’s reputation. If Wii was recognized as a hardcore system, everyone would be like: “Oh, Wii U? Heck yes! I remember playing the awesome Wii! So Wii U is definitely going to be even better!” But sadly this want the case. :b

It’s the truth though. :(

But it’s 70% truth.

Give me your reasons as to why there is no third party on Wii U then.

I hope you don’t think what I am about to say is stupid but… I think I know know. 3rd parties simply don’t want Nintendo to be on top. They do not want the Wii U to succeed. I mean, think about it. If you could get every 3rd party game being released as well as the great Nintendo exclusives, who would even bother getting the other platforms? They gimp games on Wii U because they don’t want that version to sell more. They want PS and Xbox to beat out Wii U so they can compete. The more those other two consoles compete, the more $$$$ 3rd parties make. So they try to go after the big boss… Nintendo. Nintendo has made more money than any other game company can even dream of. So they get angry and all try to gang up on Ninty. They want them dead. They don’t put games on Nintendo platforms because they don’t want to compete directly with them. (Watch Dogs delay was probably because of MK8) So instead of putting it on the Wii U, they put it on the other platforms. The platforms where they know EVERYONE will buy it. So they could arrive maximum $$$. And they did. After all the money is collected, they simply put the game on rightWii U for a few quick bucks and to make it seem that they aren’t so bad. Like”Man.. Wow! Look at all this cash we got off of Watch Dogs! This is sweet! Phew, absolutely amaz-… Huh? What’s that ? Oh, right! Wii U? Um.. I almost forgot about that… Just port it over there right quick. But hey! DON’T include the DLC! It’ll cost too much money.. Oh, and you don’t need to make it run at a stable frame rate either. Nintendo fans don’t care about all that, they only care about gameplay!” “But sir” “But sir my ass! You either port a half assed version of Watch Dogs or you’re fired!” That’s how I imagine it. XD

They are acting chickenshit. (Funny word btw xD)

@Snowman and Stranga go to Wikipedia and search “Wii U GamePad”

So far, this is what I read…

The Wii U GamePad is a controller used by Nintendo’s Wii U video game console. Incorporating traits from tablet devices, the GamePad incorporates both traditional input methods (such as buttons, dual analog sticks, and a D-pad) and a touchscreen. The touchscreen can be used to supplement a game by providing alternate, second screen functionality or an asymmetric view of a scenario in a game. The screen can also be used to play a game strictly on the GamePad screen, without the use of a television display at all. Conversely, non-gaming functions can be assigned to it as well, such as the ability to use it as a television remote.

The Wii U GamePad can be used in conjunction with other controllers compatible with the console, such as the Wii Remote Plus, Wii Balance Board, and the more conventional Wii U Pro Controller.[2][3]

Nintendo’s development team had determined that the Wii’s notification light did not provide enough information to be useful beyond whether it had received content or not. With the complexity of modern televisions, designer Shigeru Miyamoto believed that a monitor separate from the console would provide an easier way to check on the console’s status without needing to use the television.[2] Its operation as a supplemental display was also inspired by the common use of a secondary display at karaoke establishments in Japan, which display song information and also allows its users to select their next song.[4] Satoru Iwata stated that the controller’s design is intended to provide a deeper experience for all players and allow them to “see games in a different way,”[4] a concept referred to as “asymmetric gaming” during its E3 2012 press conference.[5] With the Wii U’s Miiverse social networking functionality, Iwata also likened the controller’s screen to a “social window”, which can allow users to remain connected even if they are not playing.[2] Gyroscopic capabilities were added by the team specifically to aid in aiming for first and third person shooter games. [6]

The Nintendo EAD development team created two controller prototypes: a monitor with two Wii Remotes taped to the sides, and a display attached to a Wii Zapper.[7] In a prototype shown at E3, the controller had featured circle pads similar to those of the Nintendo 3DS. On May 19, 2012, a photograph of a near-final version of the controller was leaked on Twitter by an employee of TT Games, revealing a wider build with ergonomic grips, a redesigned button layout, and analog sticks instead of circle pads.[8] On June 3, 2012, Nintendo officially unveiled the final version of the controller, named “Wii U GamePad”, in a video presentation preceding E3 2012. This presentation confirmed the hardware changes which had been made since the E3 prototype, such as the addition of analog sticks; and, it revealed other features that can be used with its screen.[2]

The GamePad’s primary feature is its 6.2 in (16 cm), FWVGA (854×480), touchscreen display, which can be controlled with either fingers or an included stylus. The screen can be used as a supplement to gameplay to provide additional functionality that can be controlled using the screen, or to stream gameplay from the console in lieu of a television display (Off-TV Play). The controller also features a front-facing camera (usable for video chat), dual analog sticks, and motion control support.[4] The GamePad also supports NFC, which allows developers to create figurines or cards that wirelessly interact with the controller through Nintendo’s Amiibo platform, and allow users to make contactless credit card transactions with compatible cards.[9] In a special presentation preceding E3 2012, Nintendo unveiled more details about the GamePad; including its ability to be used as a remote control for a television, and the ability to send handwritten messages and other content.[2]

The GamePad communicates with a Wii U console over a modified Wi-Fi protocol designed for low-latency transmission, establishing its connection with the console by using a variant of the WPS process. The GamePad’s display contents are streamed as video from the console using a custom protocol and the H.264 video codec, for which the GamePad contains a hardware decoder.[1][10]

Nintendo’s first presentation of the controller in 2011 led to confusion upon whether the Wii U would support the use of multiple GamePads. A Nintendo spokesperson stated that the GamePad would not be sold individually from a Wii U console,[11] and Shigeru Miyamoto had not ruled out the possibility of using multiple GamePads with a single console—but also felt that it may be more convenient to use the Nintendo 3DS as a controller in this scenario as well—implying potential compatibility.[11] During Nintendo’s E3 2012 presentation, it was confirmed that the console supports up to two GamePads simultaneously.[12]

According to this, unless I missed it, it does npt say that it was a “gimped ipad” or the word ipad” at all…and just in case, here you go, the wiki you told me to look for.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_Gamepad

well that’s the wiki, looked at what you wanted me to see…how is it wrong? That the wiki man.

Let me translate that for you: I realized my comment was utter bullshit and can’t figure out what Shuhei Yoshida left out

Says the fool who also missed millions of Final Fantasy remakes and ports and spin offs existing in every PS console. If any develop that does it worst or too often is Square Enix.

Metro, best game ever made? XD Only because its another shooter and all excuse for “gamers” and media are into shooters and it makes gaming incredibly dull if everyone only likes 1-2 types of genre. FPS is a plague of the market that needs to calm the hell down. And before you say anything, I tried Metro before and the game does give a fun scare, something that Resident Evil has been missing for years.

I don’t even try to damage control and please do define damage control. Not every generation is a minor leap. Starting from NES to SNES then PS1 to GameCube to PS3. Those generations offered significant leaps and changes. This generation from the last barely moved any change at all and that goes for all platforms. The only thing 8th generation has proven is that gaming leap is about to reach its peak and its gonna spell imminent end for technical/graphical leaps. Ya wanna make PS4 a huge deal when its a minor update of PS3, true story.

metro wasn’t one of the best games ever made. Great, maybe, but if it were in a top ten list of the best games of that year…probably an 8, or even lower; the “improvised weaponry” mechanic they added in wasn’t all that well implemented, and there was much more hype over it than the quality of the game warranted.

Then again, that’s my opinion. Just like what you said was your opinion. NOT A FACT.

Wind waker HD was made so a new generation of gamers could enjoy one of Nintendo’s greats. As has been made abundantly clear, Nintendo doesn’t make “rehashes” just to “save their bad sales” or whatever. They do it as both a financial benefit, and so they can show some of their classic games to a new gen. I didn’t hear anyone bitch when they made twilight princess for both the game cube and wii consoles, but as soon as they make an HD, modern version of wind waker with a new feature or two, OH SHIT, NINTENDO SUX SO BADLY, THEY MAKE ANOTHER REMAKE TO KEEP THEM FROM GOING UNDER, LAWL!

Next time, if you’re going to bitch and moan over remakes, please pick a different company than sony, the master of shitty God of War ports and the Ratchet and Clank series, also known as Jak and Daxter Rehash 2008.

Wind Waker was one of the worst Zelda games to be remade to HD. Its artstyle is timeless. There were so many other choices, INCLUDING Twilight Princess.

Umm, they do make rehashes. Examples:
New Super Mario Bros
New Super Mario Bros Wii
New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros U
New Super Luigi U
Pokémon Platinum
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
Pokémon Black and White
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
Pokémon X and Y
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

It’s sad how you can only think of 3 instances when Sony ported/remade games. It’s not really helping your case. Btw, 2 of those remakes were critically acclaimed, so I don’t see your reasoning

http://www.businessinsider.com/biggest-issue-facing-xbox-one-and-ps4-2014-6

^proof that the two “big systems” lowered their specs. This was one of many. Try googling it.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-30-how-powerful-is-the-wii-u-really

^proof that the Wii U, technically speaking, is the most powerful console due to programming, graphics, and data speeds.

@GLaDOS Why are you so against me all the time? It’s so ridiculous, really

I’m going to make this short and sweet

@estoc It’s not them being lazy; it’s Nintendo being too stuck up to actually help them out and get more games for the Wii U

I brought up COD because it was the first search result I got for a PS4 VS Wii U comparison.

The fact you self-praised yourself as a “big kid” shows how insecure you are

Also, lulz due to the random facts you claim were from the link I sent, when there wasn’t anything on that particular page that stated that.

Obvious damage control is obvious.

if you can’t find the stuff that’s in your own damn link it’s no my problem.

And it’s about 3rd party games on Wii U. It’s not as irrelevant as you make it seem. Shocking!

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-30-how-powerful-is-the-wii-u-really

Hello??? It’s right there???

Hey, did you hear about that new console that’s coming out? The Wii U?

Oh wait, that already happened.

Kind of hard to change a console already marketed, sold, and supported on numerous levels.

You should really actually read the links I posted. If I recall, one of them stated something about how the Wii U had a very versatile, workable system, and how a few third party companies loved discovering new things about it and taking on the challenge of using its features in new ways.

Oh wait, but that would actually be hard. Darn. Can’t have that, can we?

oh wait, you mean that clearly outdated section where the situation has obviously changed? The section I proved wrong outright when I posted the link about the PsWhore and Xbox Done lowering their capabilities?

Silly me, didn’t think that counted.

This argument is going in circles
“go rogue on the design” And look where that got them. Only 6 million after more than 1 and a half years. Bigger and bigger losses. Look, Nintendo’s an awesome company, they make some great stuff, but some of the stuff they do is just so uncalled for and unintelligent it’s really frustrating.

Can you at least TRY to sound more intelligent?

I know, that’s the type of comment people make when they can’t think of any more good replies. I feel for you bro. Don’t worry, I’ll satisfy your need to get the last word by making a final response to me. I’ll stop responding to you

Uh Shuhei Yoshida, he does destroyed you at least over 5 times man, not his fault you got served…but that’s ok, as long as you keep your options and play games for the fun then I can respect that.
