Oh but it has. Just nobody cared because it was another exclusive-turned-last-minute-multiplat + late port + no promo: Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut. It's another brilliant GamePad showpiece.

Well then, trust me, In ASA the gamepad is an essential part of the experience and not just an option or afterthought.

You're absolutely right! I should know this. Human Revolution is one of my favourite games on the Wii U. The GamePad use was excellent in that game. I really gotta play through that one again.

Count me in. Sounds like it could be what I've been waiting for.
According to a post here, Super Mario 64 renders at 960x720 but with no AA. That's identical to my findings.

I have never played any of the earlier versions of it, but it's pretty apparent that it's higher than 480p if you look at a border that goes almost vertical or horizontal. Those kind of lines get much smaller jaggies compared to games like the Mario Galaxies or Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Of course, the poly count of the models are as low as before.
How is it for single player?

The same as in multiplayer. You just have to do everything by yourself. Which basically means play it like a normal game with controlling the ship's movements and all the engineering things. I suggest heading towards the OT (I have no shame. Self-promotion all day err'day).
Well I'm only playing single player and all I can say it's amazing. In sp you basically control all of the ship's functions instead of dividing them up as you do in mp.
Weird that it's not 1440 x 1080 then.
Activision still supporting WiiU hope COD BO3 comes
Cool. But do I want new plastic instruments? There's the question.

I'd say this raises the chances of that at least slightly.

I still can't believe EA isn't bringing Rock Band to Wii U. Completely ridiculous.
EA gonna EA

EA's not making Rock Band 4. Harmonix is doing it independently with MadCatz. Why else do you think it's NOT hitting 360/PS3?
OrbitalBeard

So, EA isn't publishing it at all?
If that's the case, then it's ridiculous that Harmonix and MadCatz aren't working on a Wii U version. My point still stands.

They aren't making PS360 Versions and u think not having a Wii U version is ridiculous? Why exactly? It's the Wii U, everyone should be used to it getting passed up especially by western Devs by now. The surprise is if a game actually gets announced for it.

It's Rock Band. It's a party game. It actually makes MORE sense on a console like Wii U than PS4 and XB1.
Clearly Activision agrees with me, which is why a Wii U version for the new Guitar Hero game exists.
Nope. EA Partners is long dead.

It will sell more on those consoles easily. No way it makes more sense on Wii U than PS4 and X1. The casual audience Nintendo cultivated on the Wii is long gone, Wii U is mostly hardcore Nintendo fans. Can't agree at all that it makes more sense on Wii U than PS4 and X1, that's frankly a ridiculous statement.

That's fine. We'll agree to disagree.
I hope you are right but I'm still very doubtful.
from Acti, I'm intetested potentially specifically for Wii u about Skylander and Cod. hope they'll come

Harmonix & MadCatz don't have the budget like EA would. That's why they're being really conservative. Based on their response on twitter I think they'd like to make a Wii U version, but they think they'd lose money doing so. Rock Band actually sold less on Wii than PS3/360 (360 for sure at least in the US) because Wii owners mostly bought Guitar Hero instead. Now that Guitar Hero is coming to Wii U, I think that just reinforces the idea that RB might not be able to compete with GH for the smaller userbase.

Hmmm...well, this is interesting and makes their decision to skip Wii U make a bit more sense. Thanks for the information.
How long is it?
Length and physical distribution are the main differences between indie and AAA games for me sometimes. I wish Nintendo would just print a bunch of this stuff on disk to help "prop up" their library.

Sure, still not really expecting it. But on the "slim to none" spectrum we may have moved slightly closer to "slim" with this.

We're talking about CoD and not Skylanders right? Then yes, I agree
So right now our expected retail Wii U release schedule for 2015 is something like?
Captain Toad (EU, 2014 for others)
Kirby: Rainbow Curse
Mario Party 10
Mario v. DK (JP)
Splatoon
Yoshi Wooly World
Mario Maker
Xenoblade Chronicles X (at least for JP)
Star Fox Wii U
Devil's Third?
Fatal Frame V (EU/US, 2014 for JP)
Rodea Sky Soldier
Lego Dimensions
Guitar Hero Live
Disney Infinity 3.0
Lego Jurassic World
Lego Marvel's Avengers
Project Cars
(probably Just Dance & Skylanders)
Anything I'm missing?

So, I just got back from travelling in Asia for almost nine months. These were waiting for me when I got home. I think I've got some good gaming ahead!

The developers of Affordable Space Adventures have said that they plan a future retail release, if the game becomes a success.
But (if the Teslagrad retail release is anything to go by) you could expect 2 things from a retail release:
1. It'll cost more than the eShop version.
2. The developers of the game will get less from the sold copy, despite #1.

You can toss two of these

Haha! They were very cheap.
Rayman and? I have all of those except Hyrule Warriors and Toad, and I might get Hyryle Warriors at some point. The rest are good to great, and the biggest disappointment was Rayman.You can toss two of these

rayman and watch_dogs most likely
there's no need to subject yourself to a mediocre platformer when you've got a Wii U ;p
no Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D are the same game, Xenoblade Chronicles X is a new game for Wii U
Watch_Dogs runs like a dog on one foot. Stopped playing it, tried again yesterday, lasted 10 minutes. Never again. It was probably worse that I played MK8 before. The damn game looked like a slideshow to me.
Weird, I've been playing Watch Dogs for about 10 hours now and I haven't noticed any slowdown, actually I was surprised that it runs so smoohtly. Ok, I'm one of those pople who can't really notice too much difference between 30 and 60 fps (I can see when there's two gifs side by side, but not really when playing games), so maybe I'm not so easily bothered by lower framerate, but I can see that WD runs tons better than both Batmans on Wii U for example.
Running around: 20-25 fps
Heavy shootings: 14-20 fps
No idea about the Batman games, never played them. But WD is unplayable for me. If you have no problems, you should keep going. The game itself is pretty interesting.
My first GTA-style game since GTA2 (played GTA3 and VC as well, but not that much). And I really like the hacking stuff in the game, the story has been good enough so far, so yeah, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit, although it's not one of those games that I MUST play every day to see more.

Nintendo naming strikes again. It will be kind of sad if Xenoblade suffers on Wii U because people think they already played it on 3DS.
It'd be more sad if people can't do 15 seconds of research and see just from the box art alone that the games are different. People spend enough time on the internet as it is these days that it's no longer an excuse...

This really is user error more than anything. It's quite obvious if you think more than two seconds about it that "[game name] 3D" and "[game name] X" are not the same game. Or did people think Mortal Kombat X is the same game they released in 2011?
Huh?? Arkham City ran perfectly fine and what little I've played of Origins has been the same, iirc.
Origins especially has awful framerate drops, so bad that sometimes it affects the gameplay (and sometimes there's seconds long pauses). City was pretty good for the most part, but flying around the city makes it stagger quite a bit. And both games when fighting a big group of enemies slows thing down (and I'm not talking about the big combo stuff that slows everything down). These are all disk versions, so it shouldn't be HDD related.

Question for you vets: How often do eShop games go on sale? Pretty frequently? No so much? Are there big seasonal sales, like on Steam?
