Official Wii U Thread

Condemned, PGR3 and Ridge Racer 6 were better than anything in this launch.

[Finch]

Sure, if you like that kind of thing.

I am bored of this already. Am I just getting older?

Yes.

Wii U is pretty jank right now. It has a few things if you REALLY like Nintendo and some ports.

When Xbox360 came out... There was a geometry wars thing (it was Geometry Wars), a lot of really awful looking garbage, and it was jank as shit. No, it was really terrible.

I agree on both accounts.

[Tain]

Geometry Wars was never very good but yeah I liked Condemned and RR6 and I could see people liking PGR3. I forgot PGR3 was launch.

so is it a safe bet that zombie u blows?

I put RR6 down when, going down a hill, I misread a corner and turned the wrong way, and it still let me slingshot around the hairpin bend. Pretty scenery, terrible racer.

I think the thing I'm most interested in is the Wii U online store, but hearing about Nintendo's restrictions is putting me off. It's not that I bump up against the walls they throw up, but knowing they're there and so restrictive makes me wonder why I'd bother. One profile, can't be moved to another system, neither can bought games. This is not a well thought-out system, and the sensible part of me is wondering why I'd bother with it.

Maybe they're dumb kids and the update was taking too long and they wanted to reset the system so they could play something now and update later.

Sounds about right. Did you get a Wii U yet??

[Finch]

Nintendo Land is making me cry

for one because it's so good (like seriously best launch game ever, possibly my game of the year. NO YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME)

and for two because it's frozen on me three times. my heart can't take this Nintendo Land. Don't... just don't.

[Finch]

okay best launch game since Super Mario Bros, but that was 1985.

[Finch]

Okay, F-Zero...
