Yes, page 5 under Remote Play - "When this option is enabled, the main screen is redirected on the Wii U GamePad. This allows someone to watch TV while you keep playing the game. This option has no effect when playing with the Wii U Pro Controller."
It's Ubisoft, so probably the former. HOWEVER, it's sounding like all games require a digital manual similar to the 3DS/Vita, so if that's the case here then maybe they'll explain things better in there.Some of the complaints I've read about the game are about the game not explaining gameplay systems. Does the manual actually talk about things like that or just controls?
Does anyone know if downloading games costs less than the retail version in NA? If so, how much less?
Parts of the disc is exposed, that's why it's an issue.Wait, people are nitpicking about holes in the case that they will never see unless the case is open? It doesn't affect how the games look on your shelf, and (far more importantly) they don't affect gameplay.
People will find any reason to bitch these days. The amount of plastic being saved by this is worth nothing, because it looks bad when you open up a case? Ugh.

If they wanted to save plastic, they'd use jewel sizes cases.
If the 3DS is anything to go by, it will be priced exactly like the retail versions/even more in some cases.
Probably exactly MSRP, although if you have a deluxe console you get 10% back. So a $60 game gets you $6 back in points.
As a collector, I find these cases to be a real issue. There's nothing nitpicky about it.Wait, people are nitpicking about holes in the case that they will never see unless the case is open? It doesn't affect how the games look on your shelf, and (far more importantly) they don't affect gameplay.

Reviews popping up now. Ninja Gaiden 3 getting torched, unfortunately.
I loved most of the series, but didn't know what to expect from this one since I disliked the last game very much.

It looks to be an EFFECTIVE savings if you get the Deluxe system: get 599 points on a $59.99 game (should just be 600 to keep us from having annoying left over bits), and 500 of those gets you $5 credit. More like a customer loyalty program really.Does anyone know if downloading games costs less than the retail version in NA? If so, how much less?
... The laser need to see through the plastic bottom, and the label (at least on CDs/DVDs) needs to be kept unharmed for the laser to bounce off of or else the disc may not be readable. BOTH sides are necessary.You mean the part of the disc that isn't read by the console?
I imagine the amount of discs that are affected by this is negligible. And Jewel cases are incredibly fragile compared to the ones they're using now.
Man, apparently newegg sold more pre-orders than they had available stock for paper mario sticker star.
I hope that doesn't happen with my NSMBU and ZombiU preoders, that'd be a bummer.

I hate not being able to make up my mind. Wanted to head out to the store today to pick up a game early so I'll have it for Sunday. Can't make up my mind between Mass Effect 3 (made peace with the trilogy nonsense and the price. Really would like to play an RPG on the Wii U and the ME3 multiplayer), Assassin's Creed 3 (the bugs really bother me but I am interested in the game), or just waiting to grab Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on launch day. I'm not a fighting game fan but Tekken looks like fun and even if I just stick to offline play and fighting ghost I could get a lot out of the game, at least for a while. Just something from possible buy list since the NewEgg order won't be here until the middle of next week at the earliest.
We say we want a big line up on launch day. However this is the negative. Not being able to pick what to get first.

That also makes it seem like maybe listing resolution really DOES matter, and if so I hope NoA implants it sooner than later in their cover layouts.OK, that's interesting that NintendoLand only lists 720P. NSMBU shows 1080P IIRC which conflicts with what we've been told before.
You're right, and NSMBU also lists 480i and 1080i. It's odd, for sure.OK, that's interesting that NintendoLand only lists 720P. NSMBU shows 1080P IIRC which conflicts with what we've been told before.

I picked up Assassin's Creed III at Best Buy today. Not sure if it was just this particular Best Buy or all of them, but they had their Wii U games mixed in amongst the Wii game section. This is the same Best Buy that has UMD PSP games in their Vita section STILL.
Is this the case for others who've seen Wii U games in the wild?
Am I reading this correct? Nintendo Land will only support Wii Remote MotionPlus controllers and not regular Wii remotes?

AC3 having off-tv play is tempting, especially with Razor's Edge being a dud.
My decison on launch games will go down to the wire I think.

My Scribblenauts Unlimited arrived, but as a special thank you for paying more to order from GameStop instead of Amazon, there was no preorder hat.
Cool. I really want to see how it's shaped up. Hopefully it's been hammered out a bit more.Review copies should arrive later in the week, I'd imagine. I think the disc art was shared today. Hopefully some impressions before the weekend because it is a game I'm considering for launch having skipped it on PS360.
