Nintendo’s TVii tops button-laden remotes

Ohio.com: ''Nintendo’s TV-watching tool for the new Wii U game console beats my regular remote control hands down.''

1upgamer994111d ago

Very cool feature. I am now using this most of the time.

Akuma-4110d ago (Edited 4110d ago )

awesome use of this device since it doesnt have any games considered worthy of anything and there isnt much planned for it. the system can be used as a coaster for my tea and biscuits while the short life wii u pad can be used to change channel. what a rubbish system.

fanatics oooh and aaaaww over the silliest thing on a nes console because they dont expect anything revolutionary or cutting edge on wii u. my psp can be used as a universal remote since 6 years ago. where are the outcries for quality games, power, features among the fanatics on wii u. lol. there wont be any since fanatics dont care for actually games on wii u , power, or features of the devices. they sure did care for power when they thought the wii u was more powerful than the xbox. youd hear fanatics call the xbox rubbish along with ps3.

fanatics think there will be two games for each nes franchises release every year to garner a lot of support for wii u. theyre expecting two mario, two zelda, two metroid, two f zero and two smash brothers for the next 6 years on wii u. all they keep talking about is "wait til mario, wait til zelda", or some other nintendo franchise . they dont expect much support especially from third party devs or third party games . its almost like they think nintendo will be able to release new games every month for wii u especially new ones.

wii u is finished. people should figure out a way to trick people into buying their wii u at this moment because it wont be worth much for long. i cant imagine how nintendo will try to convince people to get on their bandwagon at e3 when microsoft and sony will be showing next gen systems and games that are way above everything theyll have.

It's a great feature and it would be even better if the Wii U controller had longer battery life.

metroid324110d ago

It does look up Nyko its 15 hours with full charge.

EddieNX 4110d ago

We don't have Nintendo TVii here in UK yet. But I even just can't stop using my Wiiu gamepad as a remote!!! My remote has been relegated to the coffee table draw for eternity...

Qrphe4110d ago (Edited 4110d ago )

I couldn't get mine to turn on my TV even I'm able to do everything else (including turning it off) so I still have to use my remote.

1upgamer994110d ago

It is step by step on your Wii U remote...Pretty simple to program, Much easier than most. I would say you need to try again. If you can not do it after like 2 tries have a friend help you out.

Qrphe4110d ago

I've gone into the 10th signal type option with my Sylvania TV. I lost interest a while ago especially since the rest of people at home would rather use a remote anyway.

mshope104110d ago

akuma your a douchebag!and a turd Sandwhich!can I get some agrees?

Nevers0ft4109d ago

Give Akuma a break! It can't be easy typing legibly with a dick in each hand.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin1d 20h ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken1d 19h ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z5012d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos2d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj2d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger2d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
