Wii-U thoughts so far

Wow, yeah, that's a cool looking piece of kit.

I was too old to have people even care as regarding the Gamecube. Never heard anything negative, unless it was the usual trolls online.

That looks like a P4 era Shuttle micro PC. Some of those were mirrored as well (blech).

:? That looks like a P4 era Shuttle micro PC. Some of those were mirrored as well (blech).

It is very similar, but half the length.

I never really desired the Q myself. I like how sleek the black gamecube is. Especially with a GBP on it, it becomes like an actual cube.

So, noticed this gamepad has a dim side of the screen. Just on the left edge. Bummer. Not sure if its bad enough for me to want to ask for a replacement though. Especially since most of my gaming time is with the Pro Controller while this thing is on the dock with the screen off.

Black GameCube Best GameCube

Nintendo says I can't have my account back. That's SUPER lame. So, RTGoldfish if any of you want to play Splatoon sometime.

What a fun game Splatoon is though. Dig the music a whole lot too.

That doesn't seem fair. You somehow lost/sold ownership of your old system, got a new one, and they won't honor your login or your purchases. That's shady as all get out. Nintendo needs to grow up and set their network over to true accounts.

[RyaNtheSlayA]

To elaborate: I deleted my account from the system. I thought this meant remove. But apparently that means permanently deleted, history and all.

In any case I'm still up at 2am playing Splatoon. What a game.

[Reprise]

Yeah, Splatoon is loads of fun. I got it at launch, but got distracted by other stuff till now. I've been having loads of fun the last few days. I'm nearing level 10, so looking forward to those ranked battles.

I spent most of my time playing the single player so far.

As a result I'm actually doing pretty well now that I'm diving into the multiplayer. Rank 5 already.

[Reprise]

Don't you find the single player mode boring? I don't find it much fun. The multiplayer is just pure genius though!
