What does that have to do with remaking games with better graphics?

Sonic Racing has got 6/10 on Wii U and an 8.5 on PS3/360 from Gamespot.
Reason:
Seems a bit strange considering this bug will be fixed soon.

I'm fine as long as they revisit their review after the problems are patched. Apparently, once the problems are fixed, the Wii U version might be the best one.
Seriously? How many times do you need to see these relics rolled out? It's not like we haven't been given multiple chances to buy them again on various consoles since the N64.
Yeah, as long as they change the review back after it is patched, it is a good review.

Those are both on handhelds and both were released approximately around the launch of those handhelds. You only collections you see on consoles are during anniversaries and during random pack-ins. Again, I would like to be wrong, but who knows. Time will tell.

For UK buyers John Lewis has some new bundles up http://www.johnlewis.com/Search/Search.aspx?SearchTerm=WII+U
I just discovered a neat little feature of the gamepad. I just went to install Amazon Prime video (working great btw, streaming Christmas Vacation now just to test it), and it of course has to be registered at Amazon to use the Prime features. Instead of going to my PC or something to go to the amazon.com/mytv site to enter the code that popped up on the screen, I decided to hit the home button, and go to the site on the gamepad. I got there, but couldn't remember the code it said to type in. About that time my little Mii in the lower left hand corner popped up saying that if I press the X button it would pop up a screenshot of what my Wii U shows from the Amazon Prime screen. So while on the internet on my gamepad, when I hit that button on my TV popped up the screen with the code I needed to type in. I did so, went back to the Amazon Prime app on the gamepad, and it worked just fine. I know, basic stuff, but I thought it was neat.
Well luckily for me I order online from a super market chain so if it all goes wrong I have plenty of stores to choose from. Hell I could even take a bus to head office.
I don't know what being on a handheld has got to do with it, they are still re-releases of older properties. The GBA basically lived off of them.
Perhaps I should do the same. Apparently I have a lot of holiday left.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
THAT'S how to play on the gamepad! Couldn't figure it out.
Actually quite tempted by that Basic + NSMBU bundle. I get partnership discount there through my wife, wanted white anyway and I figure John Lewis might be easier to find a system while most people go to GAME or HMV on launch day.
Wonder if those bundles will be in store or just online exclusive.

Oh my brother may get a discount on that!
same here, but I miscalculated and have next week off. So if Shopto don't deliver early I'll be clearing down some backlog in advance.
basically this. I forgot I was busy over summer so I have a week spare to take off, and still have two weeks over Christmas. Nice.

I chose the shitty shipping option from amazon.fr, will amazon ship the wii u early to me so I can get it at release day? Who else has experience with amazon and shitty shipping option?

Shit, I'll never be able to rate this piece of shit Youtube app.
The game tells you how once, very quickly, and then never again. But this illustrates the beauty of Miiverse. Pause game, hit Miiverse, ask question "How do I play offscreen?", wait 10 seconds before question is answered, profit.

i broke down and opened mine last night, as well as nsmbu. liking it so far!
i'd prefer to not have the game on both the wii gamepad and the big screen at the same time. makes me feel like im in shitty seats at a sporting event, and i cant decide whether to watch it live or on the jumbotron
other then that, so far so good. loading from the settings to the wii menu takes forever though, hopefully they address that in a patch or something. and my wii wouldnt connect to my wifi until i reloaded the router, when every other device in my house would which is strange

Yeah, in the super crappy "you need red and green lenses" that it can do on pretty much any display.
In Japan they released Metroid Prime 1 and 2 individually. The EU and US got the trilogy.
The last two are Resident Evil 1 and Zero.
I guess Resi 4 kinda counts too.
Yeah but how many people have you seen with broken Wii-Us? This forum alone makes up maybe 0.01% of Wii-U owners.
And i have heard maybe 6 people complain about broken Wii-Us and how many have sold? I am not too worried.
I am 99.9% sure you can buy VC games through the Wii shop on the Wii-U but you can't buy them through the Wii-U shop and they have to be played through the Wii thing.
I could be wrong but from what i understand that is how it works right now.

Hold on, there are TWO shops on Wii-U? E-Shop and Wii Shop? But but but but
Germany and Austria: http://www.nintendo.de/Wii-U/Wii-U-344102.html
Official German Wii U page.
Edit: Lol! European Network Premium is a little different (for the Euro zone). Every Euro you spend will get you 8 points. When you get 500 points, you can then exchange them for a code for said 500 points and then spend the money on the eShop.
Edit: So you need to spend 62.5 Euros to get one code.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I prefer when a game gives me the option of which screen I want to see the action on. Or at least allows me to turn it off on the GamePad.
Just popped into my local John Lewis. They found the bundles online but couldn't tell me if they would be in store or not. I had a quick look at their gaming section though and they bundle the shit out of everything, they didn't actually have ANY consoles stand alone, so I think there's a good chance they will be in store.
Think I might chance it on the day. I still have a pre-order with GAME if all else fails. Does anyone know if GAME will allow me to cancel my pre-order and refund my deposit on the day of release itself?

The YouTube app is legitimetly the worst YouTube app I've ever seen. Not that I was really planning on using it but, wow.
There's like zero interface and I can't even figure out how to play any video. Netflix is bad but it at least is functional.

They should do.
after using the ios and ps3 youtube apps, i have just come to expect nothing more than horrible efforts from google's youtube app team. i haven't used the android or 360 versions, so they could be fantastic, but the bar has been set real low for me after using the other two.
of course, this is me assuming that google developed the ps3 app.
Interesting to see NintendoTVii there

How much is Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on the eShop?
Is the point equation common knowledge? UK has it even worse: 8 points for one pound.
