Are you talking about the pro pad...because that's great. The tablet controller I find to be too light.

EDIT: It doesn't have rumble? :( I own one, but have yet to use in any game.

Both the Wii U gamepad and the Pro Controller have rumble

Playing Darksiders II right now and honestly, I think it's more enjoyable than the first one. Played for about eight hours at this point and it had a lot of Zelda-esque moments. I like. Btw, I'm not the most techsavvy guy, but even I can see that the port isn't up to snuff. Game gave my Wii U it's first hardlock. And the loading times at several places is just sucky.

Still for € 20 I can't complain
 
Scribblenauts Unlimited was far funner than i thought it would be. While some of the solutions where obvious, the references or end result brought smiles to my face.

If the series does continue, and all the other systems have microphones, whether on kinect or their controllers like the gamepad, i hope 5th cell adds speech. That way they can add some timing or speed variations to the puzzles as you call out stuff from the either instantly instead of pausing to type.

I'm thinking of getting this but those load times while transitioning kills the game for me.

At least in Batman they hide the load times through cutscenes

I am enjoying the heck out of this game especially on the Gamepad in combination with (GOOD) headphones. The in-game music is just so atmospheric, i definitely recommend everyone to play it, too bad nobody bought it when THQ went bankrupt.

Played my first multiplayer sessions in a month of so last knight. Five-Player Nintendo Land and Sonic Racing is just too much fucking fun. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how sad we were that there aren't more fucking games to play on this goddamn console. The ones we do play are so much fun already, why did Nintendo position this console so that it's already relegated to only getting the dregs of the third-party offerings?

I guess this is supposed to be a Wii U satisfaction thread, and I am perfectly satisfied with the games I do have, it's the games that are not coming with which I am unsatisfied.

On that note, does Need for Speed have five-player local multiplayer? Someone tell me it does.

No version of NFS:MW has any local multi.

Doesn't even make sense, because my PS3 is also dusty even though I play on it regurarly... Because, you know, there is no real need to be touching console if you want to actually play a game. Even if you have to put in a disc, it wouldn't prevent dust.

Oh well, I can understand why that is top gaming post on Reddit though.

Yeah and the controller looks like it's been at least used recently.


Photo Fail.


Personally ive used my WiiU every single day since launch without fail :) (and it's still dusty)

My wii u used for hours everyday and is covered in dust, really should clean it sometime
 
I have to be honest I have too many games for this thing :(

maybe I went too far, people talk of no games and I am over 20 in and have 3 more to buy in March

Yeah, realistic... Loading a weapon on a tablet screen removes any semblance of realism.


As oppose to pressing a button?

The point is, it distracts you from looking up - just like if you reloading a real gun or digging for something in your backpack. It adds to the immersion imo.

Seriously? I have ... 3 games (Nintendo Land, NSMBU and Sonic Racing), plus another 3 (Trine, Mighty Switch Force, Nano Assault) from the download service. Would you recommend any of those twenty games strongly? I'm dying for something new to play.

Can't wait for mid-March. It will be like a second launch what with Lego City, Monster Hunter 3 and Most Wanted U all coming out at once.

ZombiU is a great horror game. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a huge improvement over the original in every way. Ultimate Scribblenauts is also a great exclusive.

That's classic. You're the guy that buys the launch lineup. I remember with the original DS, I had almost every game that came out in the first year or two (when people complained it was really slow going), so I remember playing a lot of Yoshi Touch n Go, Feel the Magic, Kirby's Canvas Curse, Pac N' Roll, and others. I don't look bad on those times as bad, and I envy your ability to own so many games on Wii U. I'd like to get Sonic Kart or Scribblenauts soon.

I have ZombiU (changed gaming for me), SMBU, and Nintendo Land and I love them all. I'm excited for Pikmin 3, and I can't wait for E3 to show off a new Zelda, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and more.

Also a great time to be a 3DS owner in the coming year. I'm not worried about the Wii U..it's just about to get amazing.

Post-March is looking pretty decent. It's just getting to that point and I'm getting itchy feet. Been tempted to buy Darksiders 2 but I think I'm just going to wait, and play games on the system I genuinely want. (Monster Hunter 3G) I remember some of the GC droughts being horrendous, and that was in the middle of it's lifespan. Patience is the key, I'll just do something creative in the mean time.

Still playing Trine and Mario at the moment. C'mon Pikmin 3!

Will Miiverse be upgraded to allow colour pics or even short flipnote animations eventually? I hope so.


I'd be shocked if it didn't. 3DS has had a number of upgrades to the messaging app so I guess it's coming for WiiU eventually.
