Last I heard Ghosts is still viable, but has somewhere between half and two thirds the players on average compared to BO2. Don't know first hand because I sold Ghosts around a year ago. Still have BO2.

Official news didn't exist outside of E3. There was a translated interview though and the Edge interview in the Miyamoto issue last Summer. But Itagaki kept teasing it on his Facebook page all Winter. Expect news at E3 obviously. There's no point in raising panic flags a month before E3.
(in case you were going to do that)I was keeping track of his FB updates for a while. Read up on it here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=937999
Good god, thank you for that link. I didn't realize how much I needed a photorealistic cat mask for my avatar until today:
Edit: Just saw that it gives a stealth and speed bonus, too. :-D

Great. Thank you both so much for the information. I may still grab Ghosts just to play through the single-player, but it's good to know that Black Ops 2 is where the multiplayer action is generally at. Cheers and thanks again!

Hello, Wii U GAF!
I've been looking for a FPS with local co-op (campaign mode) to play with some FPS neophytes, and I've narrowed my choices to the CoD games, specifically Blops2 and Ghost, both of which I've heard good things...specifically in regards to the pointer controls, which the newbies will use.
I don't care for online mode. Just local co-op. Which of these two games is suitable, and am I missing another game to add to to the list of options? Thanks in advance.

CoD games don't have co-op campaigns. Just co-op multiplayer mode (the zombies thing, etc).
Any way you'd consider holding off and getting Splatoon?
I have Ghosts on Wii U and never played co-op once but I enjoyed it on the system all the same. Not much help I suppose but it is a good port, DLC aside.
If this is true the real question is Zombies versus Extinction. I prefer Extinction but again, no DLC.

So, when Nintendo is going to announce their plans for this year's E3?
Last year, they were announced at the end of April...

I think its safe to assume it will be like last year. Strange longer than usual Nintendo Direct followed up by Tree house

Yes, sounds reasonable.Last year was such a funny and plentiful experience.I really hope they will manage to replicate it this year..
When their plans are finally released I will start watching previous E3s in anticipation.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Wii U is now officially the Star Wars Machine as soon as 3.0 hits! LoL
Definitely. It's a good single player game and a great co-op one. One is the captain and handles the engines and different settings on the gamepad as well as the sensor (and light direction) while the other drives the ship. The tasks are distributed in such a way that you need to work together almost all the time.
Check the OT and the review threads.

So I'll round up the NA retail 3rd-party games so far this year in no order:
Legend of Kay: Anniversary (Nordic Games)
Lego Dimensions (WB)
Lego Jurassic World (WB)
Lego Marvel's Avengers (WB)
Rodea the Sky Soldier (NISA)
Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations (Little Orbit)
Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends (Little Orbit)
Barbie and Her Sisters: Puppy Rescue (Little Orbit)
Monster High: New Ghoul in School (Little Orbit)
Mighty No. 9 (Deep Silver)
Terraria (505 Games)
Guitar Hero Live (Activision)
Disney Infinity 3.0 (Disney)
It's... looking up. At least in quantity.
Also, I made a mockup of a NA retail release I actually would love to see:
Maximumn Games brought the digital-only (in NA, it's retail in EU) release of WRC4 on PS3 to retail, which is also by Bigben, and Cocoto got pretty decent reviews and also it's a really rare Wii U exclusive retail game in EU. For $30 (which is also it's normal price on the eShop), I think it'd be a welcome release IMO.

Terraria still isn't confirmed right? And Teslagrad/Project Cars are supposedly coming to Wii U at some point.So I'll round up the NA retail 3rd-party games so far this year in no order:

Would have loved THPS5 on Wii U though >_>... although I admit I haven't played since THPS4 on GC.
Also, on the other hand, we've still had no third party game release for Wii U yet this calendar year right (except in JP w/ Rodea)? Last year at least there was the Lego Movie game in Feb & Lego Hobbit by April.

Oh yeah, forgot about Teslagrad, but Cars... eh, don't think they even confirmed that for Wii U retail in NA yet... if they'll ever.

The publisher/devs never confirmed Terraria but it got rated by the USK a few weeks ago so that settled that pretty much. It's coming.
I think it's safe to assume Project Cars isn't coming for the Wii U. I'd like to be surprised for all the folks that backed it but the game just doesn't seem doable.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has purchased the Wii U high-capacity battery? (Here: https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?productId=prod150204)
I play a ton of Wii U and having a better battery sounds great. To those who have this battery installed: is it worth it? How much playtime do you get out of a charge, realistically?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Good work, man. I'm glad you're keeping tabs on this for us. I want this game badly and don't want it to fall into the trashcan.
Wii U logo is still being displayed at the end of the official launch trailer that came out two days ago on 4 May.
See here: https://youtu.be/pPnPJXE2fhw
Why do you think that?

All signs point to it still being released. The Wii U logo is still in the trailer and the Wii U box art can be seen on the pre-order website. It's coming late, but I feel like it will still show up.
That's Teslagrad not Terraria
I bought it. I practically play now without the need of stopping because the battery dried off. I rarely play more than 6-7 hours and that's covered by the battery. I had the red led turned on only once and that was after more than 7 hours of play.

Isn't the person you quoted talking about Terraria? But you linked to Teslagrad?
Are you guys serious? Am I missing something? The person s/he quoted literally says "Oh yeah, forgot about Teslagrad".

Wow, that sounds great! It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I'll have to order one up. Thanks a lot for the heads up.
I really appreciate it, even if it should be in from start. My gamepad is now almost never out of charge. Hard to tell exactly how much it last, but at least 6 hours does not seem exagerated. Between 6 and 8 hours are probably not too far from reality.
I agree absolutely with what @KingSnake said about that battery. Make sure to get the official long-life battery. I haven't heard good things about any of the 3rd party long-life batteries.

I rarely play more than six hours or so during a session, so I think this battery would more than suffice. Not having to worry about charging the GamePad half way through playing would be a treat. I'm really liking the sound of this. Thanks for the information!
Yes, I'll definitely get the official one from Nintendo's websites. I've had issues with various third-party batteries over the years, so I definitely want to steer clear of them for my GamePad. It's great to hear such positive word about this. I can't wait to get one.
I swear that said terraria when I replied
Just a heads up about Project CARS. There was a whole discussion about the lack of analog triggers on Wii U gamepad and Wii U Pro Controller. And I'm playing now on PC with the Wii U Pro Controller using the config that allows steering with left analog stick and throttle-break with right analog stick and it's working wonderful.

Can anybody recommend any wireless headphones that can be used with the Wii U? I'm going to need something so that I can crank up the sound of my Wii U gaming while the girlfriend is gone to bed. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to sound, so I don't really want anything that sounds cheap.
I've never had headphones specifically for gaming before, so I have no idea what's out there. Any help would be great!

Excited for Xenoblade Chronicles X, but I honestly think the WiiU is in desperate need of more exclusive RPG's, JRPG's in particular. Where is Mistwalker? No support from Square Enix?
And goddamn it as much as I love the Xeno series I want a Baten Kaitos 3.

Oh, yeah! I'd be all over that in a second.
And they have removed the entry for Art Academy for NoE.
If you play with the gamepad, just use your classic wired headphones on it.

I do this a lot of the time, but I find that it's never loud enough. I've always got the volume all the way up, as well.
