Official Wii U Thread

You get 3 plays of any of the modes except My Kong per day. My Kong is $9.99, Story Mode is $9.99, other maps are $3, I think I priced it out to around $35ish dollars.

Namco/Bandai, what do you expect?

Rayman Legends and Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U (as well as other platforms) are $40 at Amazon right now.

Super SFII is on VC for $1.50 right now.

So, the Wii U. I've been messing with it for a couple of hours at night, and it's not perfect but I'm liking it more than I thought. I've been playing 90% on the gamepad, and this thing is a godsend. It's no secret that I love portables, but I mostly play on my couch at home anyway and the pad actually has adult sized controls and it very comfortable. So far the only actual Wii U games I've played are Zelda and Sonic Kart, and both are great on the thing. I've got a few virtual console games as well, and although they are a tad blurry they look and play fine on the gamepad, and Nintendo finally gave us customizable controls! Now if they just added some customizable graphics filters it would be fantastic. I did notice a tiny bit of lag on the gamepad playing Punch Out NES, I did some searching and it seems that other people have complained about that particular game also, it's fine on the TV but lags on the pad. I tested Megaman X with it and it seemed perfectly fine.

My guess is the pad has some lag, but most games you won't notice. There are only a few kinds of games where reacting to graphics is super important, and punchout is definitely one of them.

Fighting games, music games, and probably online shooters are other ones. I wonder if people complain about rhythm heaven fever on the pad. Hm, maybe I could test that.

I don't understand why the NES looks like well... the NES. The SNES looks super sharp, but the NES is blurry/composite quality.

I want sure if that was the screen it what,I haven't tried PU on the Tv yet. NES on the Wii was pretty awesome.

I think SNES looks pretty good on the Tv but not as good as I could make it with standard pc emulator options. It's much better than running a real SNES through a HDTV without a XRGB or something.

Only recently can you use the pad as a monitor to play original Wii games. I'm sure the lag could be noticeable slightly for Rhythm Heaven, but the latency for the pad is honestly really good considering a whole game is being streamed to it from the console. I've played the original Punch-Out! on the pad briefly, but not seriously, so I'm not really sure about it. Either way, playing it on the TV feels about as natural as playing it on the original console.
