I'm probably going to the mall this evening so I'll stop by the EBGames and if they have Wii U stuff I'll take some marginally better photos.

Rich! · Nov 1, 2012

Your store would have got a massive pack of display sleeves. Just bring one home and scan it.

Edit: ah, you dont work there

Hero_of_the_Day · Nov 1, 2012

They look like normal boxes. Concerns eased.

Wario64 · Nov 1, 2012

Did you open the cases?

Nibel · Nov 1, 2012

I think I never used the camera of my 3DS even once :lol

But yeah, time flew by - just a few weeks away from release

patrickthehedgehog · Nov 1, 2012

The 3DS camera is like...Nokia candybar cell phone 2006 bad.

Ubisoft titles using flash for the tablet interface?

Yeah, they really should have said this in the first place. People are reacting to Adobe Flash lol

OP i need the MPO's to verify your credibility

NFreak · Nov 1, 2012

So I'm guessing Wiimote/Nunchuck support for ZombiU is only for the multiplayer aspect of the game. I was confused there for a second when I first looked at it thinking it might be supported for single player.

I was surprised as well by the quality of the pics considering its from a 3DS actually.

Sorry man, turns out those pics in the OP are of the PS3 version's box.

Wait ZombiU can use the wiimote? Damn.... Don't know what to use.....

Yeah this is news to me. I thought it was Gamepad only but I guess the wiimote might be able to be used for multiplayer?

_illmatic_ · Nov 1, 2012

I thought the Gamepad for P1 on multi and then the Pro controller for the P2.

Kenka · Nov 1, 2012

OP, do your best to provide us more info. Staying tuned.

Why the hell isn't there a GAF app in the eShop to let us add photos to new posts? Mods, Evilore, anyone, do something. Bribe Nintendo.

jj984jj · Nov 1, 2012

Uplay enabled? Nintendo's really allowing everyone to do their own online service, that's going to be a bit odd depending on how they're linked.

Ubi games have Uplay on every platform, not sure what's different here?

Seriously, what happened there?

The new boxes are ok... I guess. I do like how the curve at the top continues on the spine. I just still hate that yellow stripe.

Kenka · Nov 1, 2012

Other gaffers have found the graal?

THE-Pink-Dagger · Nov 2, 2012

Question because I dont see it on the box:

Is there any mention of AC3 being playable Off TV on the gamepad only?

zroid · Nov 2, 2012

Oops, ended up not going to the mall today after all. Will go tomorrow morning instead.

BY2K · Nov 2, 2012

No mention of Accomplishments/Achievements.

:/

EDIT: Why icons?

Conrad Link · Nov 2, 2012

True story: I only just realised the icon things on the sides of 3DS games were the same ones you see on the 3DS screen before you boot the game like..... just the other day.

lolz.

Look at them all the time on my shelf but never clicked.

BY2K · Nov 2, 2012

Is that what we'll see on the OS, then? Icons like the 3DS menu?

jooey · Nov 2, 2012

Now for the thread where someone tells the story about this nerd at the game store taking pictures of Wii U boxes with his 3DS

Betta Lines · Nov 2, 2012

Why didn't you take them in 3D?

Roo · Nov 2, 2012

They're definitely an improvement over Wii boxes. They actually look nice.

kunonabi · Nov 2, 2012

pretty much my thoughts. I had high hopes for a survival horror game set on on the side of a mountain. You end up spending almost no time climbing the mountain and it just felt like they squandered the concept entirely.

pvpness · Nov 2, 2012

Lol. The flash shit threw me off earlier today on the Ps3 box. I figure uplay must use it in some way?

CronoShot · Nov 2, 2012

I like the list of NN features.

-Message Sharing
-Leaderboard
-My Zombified Friend

zroid · Nov 2, 2012

I'm terrible at deciphering blurry text -- I kept reading "message sharing" as "marriage shacking"

freddy · Nov 2, 2012

Looks like WiiU will need anti virus software.

The user interfaces and HUDs in almost all modern games use Flash.

Just checked some random 360/PS3 games... as far as I can tell.. don't mention achievements/trophies on the boxes either.

I'm pretty sure it's a dig at Adobe Flash.

BTW can I have the .mpo of these pictures?

No shit? I had no idea. I was looking to verify the 3D on the ps3 copy and saw it there, think it's the first time I've seen it on a box before.

Can we tell if the Wii U version is 3D from these shots?

Scaleform is what you're looking for IIRC. Dead Space 2 and Batman Arkham City are a couple slick as heck recent examples.

Pretty much all games use Scaleform that utilizes Flash. Scaleform is amazingly straight forward.

Fuck, this wait is getting hard, especially with so many unanswered questions.
Are the rules the same (1 week out) for hardware launch OTs?
