Wii-U thoughts so far

[Frag Mortuus]

The more and more I read about Super Mario 3D World, the more excited I get.

The list posted up on that site:

- Super Mario 64
- ***** ***** **
- **** **** **
- **** *** **
- ********** **
- ******* ****
- **** ************

Shouldnt be to hard to figure out

The first four end in 64. With it looking like Wave Race and Starfox in slots 3 and 4 with 1080 Snowboarding in the last slot. The rest cannot be Nintendo made games or they are not using official titles - meaning the list would be bunk. Nintendo would never refer to Majoras Mask as just that (which would fit in slot six).

Ok, I glanced over the wikipedia entry for N64 games and came up with this list:
Super Mario 64
Mario Tennis 64 (which was the Japanese name)
Wave Race 64
Star Fox 64
Excitebike 64
Pokemon Snap
1080 Snowboarding

And I am going to say, if they do it Awesome. I will buy all of them, I am calling bunk since that is such a bizarre list.

I read enough to trigger a Wii U system purchase. I've been holding off for a must-have game and a price drop. The must-have is actually Skylanders Swap Force, but this pushed me over the edge. No true price drop, but I did get a brand new basic set for $200, which is cheap enough for me.

The Wii U version of Deus Ex HR looks amazing by the way. The price is kind of steep compared to the other options or "upgrades" (if you own PC versions of the original game), but yeah the Wii U release looks like it pretty different experience.

Yeah it isnt bad. I played it at PAX East. The integration of the Wii U controller with the game was pretty cool too. It will be a unique experience.

I just wonder how the gamepad feels for an FPS?

Feels fine if you like fps on console. They utilize the touchscreen for a bunch of stuff.

Yeah, I've got it. Had it since Thursday and have been playing it a tonne. It's the definitive version, without a doubt. The weird thing though, is the price isn't steep here in the UK. I only paid £21, I think it was.

As for how a FPS feels on the pad, I'm fine with it. I did have to wack the x and y sensitivity up to full though. Can't remember if I had to do the same on the PS3 version or not.

The Wii-U has had a year head start and flat out ditched the Wii, is it really saying any thing that they're going to have a stronger line up than one month old PS4 and 2 week XboxOne?
