The Wii U: Don't Knock It Till You've Tried It

The Wii U; like marmite, you seemingly either love it or hate it. But have you actually tried it?

I agree %100, so many people that "hate" Wii U, have not even sat in their own homes or a friends house and really checked out what it can do. Nope they would rather form their ignorant opinions without even giving it a REAL chance. I challenge any BOPS 2 fan to check it out on Wii U with a friend same room both online and compare it to their experience doing the same thing on another console. If you do that I think your view would change. Oh and snap some screenshots while your at it and post em.

Allsystemgamer4173d ago

I have tried it and I personally think it's a great system. So far there haven't been any system sellers yet but I'm keeping my eye out

Army_of_Darkness4173d ago

It's the fact that most of the good games are on the other platforms for much cheaper with not much visual difference and on top of that, there still isn't even a game out to showcase what the wiiU is capable of yet?? which is why I have not even considered buying a wiiU...

@Army

Nintendo Land showcases the Wii U gamepad very well, and so does zombiU

corrus4173d ago

They hate the Wii U cos is a one joke even PS3/360 are more powerful than Wii U

I have a feeling you know this already, but no they aren't. The architectures are quite different, with the Wii U using a GPGPU and eDRAM and is a newer more efficient design... You're comparing apples and oranges.

I can turn my TV on and off with it. Nuff-said.

To be honest I like Mario and Zelda, what I dont like is the gamepad, I make it a point to enter bestbuy when ever I am close and give it another shot, been there 3 times this month already. I'm not sure what it is about the gamepad. I now know the guys by 1st name at best buy and they joke around if today will be the day. My rule of thumb is "if you don't love it in the store, your not going to love it at home" so it sits at best buy until the next time I'm in the area.

mydyingparadiselost4173d ago

I went to best buy to try one while waiting for my pre order and I wasn't impressed either. It's a WAY better experience at home. Not having to have the pad tethered, the miiverse and internet browsing, none of that comes through in the store setup. I'm not a fanboy, I've played games on Atari 2600 to PS3 and I'm loving the WiiU so far, barely even touch my PS3 now and seriously CANNOT WAIT for Bayonetta 2. Hopefully someone you know gets one and you can experience the system in a better environment :)

KrisButtar4173d ago

Yup exactly, once one of my friends own it, you can be sure I'll be over checking it out. As I do know that there is more features than what I can use at bestbuy, and those features might be what it takes me to get one. Thing is I'm the one who dives in 1st and my friends follow, but we will wait and see

ElectricKaibutsu4173d ago

@KrisButtar

No harm in waiting! More games will be out. I like to make 100% sure of everything before I buy, so I can appreciate how you feel.

hazardman4173d ago

I don't own one but try it out everytime I go into gamestop. And I like it, but holding off til one of nintendos better exclusives come out for it like Metroid or Zelda.

Welp, Now Nintendo's Going After Sheet Music

It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.

Nintendo sure knows how to take the fun out of everything.

MeteorPanda1d 23h ago

this reminds me of that nintendo facebook social media question where they asked people what their favourite nintendo song was and people posted yt links. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN

Knightofelemia1d 10h ago

You want to kill a party fast just invite Nintendo. But we are talking about a company who took down pictures of a strategy guide that has never appeared in the west. You don't see Square taking down music or sheet music to Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme, June Mermaid. Memorable tunes stick with fans to great games. Nintendo games have fans that have been routed since the NES. People have Youtube vids showing how to play Zelda's lullaby on piano, violin or my favorite the harp. Nintendo taking down sheet music or those curious about a Japanese strategy guide makes Nintendo look like an asshole to those fans.

Torrent and Usenet is the way. Imagine if all these people just share game music, roms, fan remakes in that way instead of on a website. Nintendo would be so helpless and cannot do anything we all win LOL

gold_drake1d 6h ago

its abit ridiculous at this point.

PRIMORDUS1d 3h ago

Out of spite those people should now out put all that music in a torrent upload and share it (I will seed for them🤣) Then email Nintendo the link to it lol. Good luck taking down a torrent. Torrents and Usenet is the only way to get around anything Nintendo tries to take down because they can't. This is the way to preserve games and game music, without anyone telling you otherwise.

Could care less. I use consoles to play games not for social media.

Cacabunga8d ago

Social garbage should be abandoned altogether.. the world is stupid since these things got introduced

senorfartcushion8d ago

I would say YouTube was more to blame for this weird unrest we are seeing at the minute. That platform has given license to some of the stupidest people to build advice channels for kids growing through their formative learning years. It's no wonder there are so many incels around.

z2g8d ago

The world was stupid before that. Social media just let you see it.

It’s for posting content like game captures, not responding to your boo’s pool pictures.

But F twitter anyway

CrashMania9d ago

And nothing of value was lost, that site is a cesspit.

purple1019d ago (Edited 9d ago )

correction, was a cesspit,

now more of just a swamp / everglades / marshland

gold_drake9d ago

not sure who actually used it in the first placd

Vithar8d ago

Good, Twitter is getting worst than 4chan

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H931d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX30d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H930d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro30d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos29d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8831d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk7730d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos30d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris30d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
