I felt the Wii had a better launch in that there were several games for it that I wanted so I bought one day 1 at the time.

And I think Jeff doesn't like the console all that much. Haha.

The Wii had Twilight Princess, which at the time was more then enough reason to buy one. Wii Sports ended up being the most played game in my house, closely followed by Smooth Moves a month later. Playing Wario Ware with 12 people and drinks was simply amazing.

Thus far, it looks like those party games in Nintendoland look like they could be fun.... but that's about it. I can wait to play another Mario sidescroller.

Welcome... to Football park.

 

[Einbroch]

Why don't they throw ads between their game sessions?

 

[BigJonsson]

25 users online lol

 

[Alex]

25...?

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Ha, 25 users online

 

[giancarlo123x]

25 users online lol

The way they said it made me laugh.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Man the load times are atrocious, what are they using? a 2x BR* drive?

*proprietary format that's totally BR minus video playback.

 

[a secret-boss]

Why don't they throw ads between their game sessions?

don't give them ideas

 

[VashTS]

Welcome... to Football park.

Love that everyone's in total agreement.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Damn at these load times.

 

[Einbroch]

don't give them ideas

If it helps them out, why not? They already have 15-20 seconds of silence, throw an ad, support the site, etc.

But hey, maybe I'm in the minority. Wikipedia should throw ads up too.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Wii U loading so far has appeared to be a disaster. Which is hilarious to me cause the crowd this thing is targeting wont have any tolerance for waiting forever for stuff to load.

 

[BigJonsson]

Looks ugly

And Nintendo usually nails the load times, wtf

 

[jooey]

Because they're owned by CBS and GameSpot already has a Twitch partnership. Are people still thinking GB is a scrappy bunch of guys tryin' to make it back in the business?

 

[Link0080]

Does it only snow in the stadium? lol

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Madden looks awful.

 

[sixghost]

Does it only snow in the stadium? lol

it's the lake-effect snow

 

[PBY]

Woah these graphics.

 

[Einbroch]

Because they're owned by CBS and GameStop already has a Twitch partnership.

So wouldn't they want ads then? Twitch gets the money and so on?

Or maybe I'm just not understanding it.

 

[cacophony]

these animations lol

 

[BigJonsson]

Did EA spend 2 minutes on this?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Terrible.

 

[djplaeskool]

Wow. This does NOT look good in motion.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I AM A ROBOT ER AR EH EH

 

[PBY]

wow

 

[braves01]

Madden looks like garbage...but I can't tell if that's just Madden. Does this look bad on 360/PS3 too?

 

[fierrotlepou]

Don't think so?

 

[jett]

What is it with these load times? Every single game suffers from them, even the operating system.

 

[Alex]

I think I'd spent most of the time on this making people run in loop de loops and shit.

 

[SoulPlaya]

These guys look like they're sick of playing this, lol.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Well...like none of these games have impressed me. =\

Just show us NG3:RE so I can know if I need to be jelly over it or not (gameplay wise not graphics)

 

[Des0lar]

So.... this is Madden.


Says it all really.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

I think I'd spent most of the time on this making people run in loop de loops and shit.

Defense would be ready for it though because your receivers waste so much time in your own backfield.

 

[Zoibie]

I don't remember it looking much better during the 360 quick look they did (which is worth a watch, it's pretty hilarious.)

 

[djplaeskool]

These guys look like they're sick of playing this, lol.

Seriously. I honestly think they want to just call it a night. lol

 

[Dahbomb]

Are they gonna play NG3RE?

 

[BigJonsson]

Can they play one of the games they actually enjoyed?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I don't understand the loading. It seriously makes no sense. Madden has always had terrible loading, but the OS and eShop games shouldn't be taking that long.

 

[Einbroch]

I know it doesn't matter, but man, their OS UI is so ugly. Functional, maybe, but ugly as sin.

 

[vocab]

death by load times

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the biggest take away from this live stream and launch day for me is that the Wii U OS is fucking GARBAGE.

so bad

 

[Angelus Errare]

Seriously these load times are hilarious as hell. Making the PSP look instant lmao.

 

[Alex]

Why is everything on this system so fucking slow.

 

[djplaeskool]

Oh man.
They literally emulated the Wii to get to legacy Wii channels and shop stuff.
The hell?

 

[ZackieChan]

What is this madness with the reboot into Wii mode? Yikes.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

To top if off, the fact that you can't just transfer old VC games to Wii U, instead you have to enable Wii mode everytime you want to play VC games. What trash. Nintendo needs to hire some OS designers bad and overhaul this crap.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Controller's gettin' grody.

 

[Zombie James]

Oh man.
They literally emulated the Wii to get to legacy Wii channels and shop stuff.
The hell?

I'm surprised the system has to reboot to switch modes. That's about as a far as seamless gets.
