Wii-U thoughts so far

2 answers and 1 statement by me:

1) Yes it's by the same team who did Xenoblade, it's MonolithSoft

2) Yes it's Wii U exclusive since Nintendo bought them out a few years back from what I remember

3) This game is a freaking guarantee Nintendo will be getting my money sooner or later.

Didn't like Xenoblade. So while this new one could be great it's not really got me anxious to buy a Wii U again.

Super Awesome Happy Time Mega Force Hurricane U: HD BRB is coming out next summer. You'll be sorry you got rid of your Wii U then.

I had to check on google just in case this was a real thing, cause with Wii/indie games you never know

You inspired me ZenErik, I'm going to see about selling my Wii U too. I rarely touch it now and with the new consoles coming out, I think it will get even worse.

After the power ups trailer, the new Mario 3d land is a day one buy.


So much awesome stuff.

Have they made a patch where you no longer need to use the game pad with the screen?

I'm mildly interested in the system but I'm indifferent towards the big controller; I'd prefer to use the pro controller for all the games, if possible.

It is entirely dependent on the game. There are only a few games that actually require the gamepad as I'm aware; ZombiU is the only one that comes to mind.

Frankly, I find the gamepad super comfy, I don't mind using it. Hooray for monster American hands.

I don't like the feel of the gamepad at all. Not comfortable. Using all 4 shoulder buttons is a nuisance. And some games do use all 4...

I think the gamepad is pretty comfy myself, and I'm normally not a fan of big controllers (the oXBox controllers are the spawn of satan. Even the 'small' one). The L and R buttons are a little uncomfy, but ZL and ZR are perfectly placed and feel great. The face buttons and stick are comfy to use and I've never had an issue with the size or weight of the pad.
