The Wii U

[KingDrool]

Dammit RegalSin, how did you get off of my "Ignore" list? Time to fix that...

[esteban]

If Data East is resurrected and Karnov is upgraded with brilliant new 2D artwork for the Wii U, then...

HELL YES I'LL GET Wii U.

Otherwise, I'll wait until the price drops. I don't mind buying "old" software and hardware a year or three from now.

hah! well I am kinda 6 years late on the wii train.  Hopefully I can grab a 3DS XL next year too and as for the next xbox that can wait a few years after it's initial release before I pick one up.

hmmm I hope we get a proper earthbound/mother release this gen Nintendo!!

I noticed you were picking up a bunch of software for the Wii. I still need to grab some titles while they are available and cheap. I have repeatedly made the mistake of not grabbing stuff for Xbox, PS, PS2 when it is cheap. Then, years later, some of these titles are too much $$$ for my wallet.

I'm trying not to predict what will go up and down in value..  I did own psychic killer taromaru (or Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru) for the saturn years ago but I was sooo scared to take it out and play because of its value and in the end I thought it was silly how I was treating the game so I sold it on ebay and made more than my money back...

although having said that there are certainly some great wii stuff to collect here in the UK..

these two have gone up in price...and I don't know if anywhere else in the world has these bundle. But I am definitely going to hunt the zelda skyward sword pack down..

I got this one about £10 cheaper than the brand new price here about 2-3 weeks ago..

I have no idea what is collectable in the US or JPN territories...but I do intend on playing all my wii games

I got a feeling some of the anime games such as one piece and bleach may become collectible.. but what the hell do I know...

My MO tends to be to hate any new stuff until it becomes apparant that I was wrong.  It's win-win.

TBH, I doubt I would have got a Wii when we did, had Donna not decided that she needed one, and that we should split the cost.  But I have one now, and I still use it pretty often - and it's great for having people round - it's probably the most group friendly console.  As for the Wii U, I honestly don't care enough to have bothered forming an opinion yet.

I did like the idea in last weeks Penny Arcade comic though - it's perfect for that "dungeonmaster" type stuff.

Well after looking into the system, I decided I will be getting it.  It looks awesome, and can replace my white wii.  I want the black Wii U.

Just read the controller charge lasts approximately 3.5 hours and it takes 2.5 hours to charge.  Furthermore, the controller is not USB and can only be plugged into an outlet and not the system.

That's the first bit of bad Wii U news for me, blah.

[Nando]

anyone know if it will play wii games in hd?

[KingDrool]

Nope. It won't.

That kindof sucks. I hope a 3rd party comes up with something to extend the life or something

Well that's rather game. I'm assuming it won't be CG compatible either, correct? I had read somewhere that all your VC purchases do transfer however. Is that the case?

So far I'm liking the feel of that 101 super hero game but where's my 3rd party Jaw dropper?

If I remember correctly, GameCube is out. Virtual Console and WiiWare purchases, I believe, can be transferred. However, I think you'll need your Wii do so, so don't plan on trading your Wii in for the WiiU. The same was true with the DSi and 3DS. I thought I could just use my SD card, so I traded in my DSi. Lost all my shit...

Third party jaw-droppers? On a Nintendo console? Surely you jest! (Although ZombieU looks pretty bad ass).

Isn't that the whole point of the U? to give experiences only possible on PS3 and MS360 on a Nintendo console? lol  

I want to see Monster Hunter on it, the PS3 was supposed to get a HD version but I've no idea what happened to that?

Why is HD so special? Do you own a television that is over 60 inches? I have a projector, and
everything seems clear, and n normal looking, I don't think I need to see toadstools, goosbumps.
