I don't know what you think, but having to update to play Wii games is stupid silly.

We know WiiU does it by hardware, not software, so why do they force this?

@Blue logo: Well, it will fit better in some games than in others, just like the white band of the Xbox360 or the black one of the PS3. It's not a major problem.

Like so many other devs in the HD gen, Nintendo is discovering the 'virtue' of having extra weeks/months to work on their software, i.e. the software wasn't done when the machines were being assembled.

In other news, GameStop started billing for U's today.

I get that, that's why Miiverse and the rest of the web services must be downloaded.

What I don't understand is why the use of Wii games get affected by this given that they are emulated via hardware, not software. Even in the first Iwata Ask's about WiiU, when talking about the CPU it is mentioned that they were able to put several Wii's CPU instructions into the WiiU CPU.

I think it's a case of carrot and stick: they want/need people to grab this 'update' and a good way to get some people to do so is to tell them they have to grab it to play their Wii library. (Whether or not this is a smart move on NIntendo's part, I cannot comment, but I'd have to imagine that is the rationale.)

in regards to the price cut, like with the 3DS they're not going to have much of a choice

And why is that?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Considering that we've seen the same color scheme for all games I don't think they'll have genre colors...

I forgot about that one.
Maybe they`ll use different colours once in a while. Probably not just now.

I think they'll only do it for special kind of games... Like NSMBwii and stuff like that... Why don't they change the color scheme now and then? depending on genre?

Dunno...
Maybe it`s a marketing thing to keep a recognizable image. For all companies the colours or symbols have been the same throught their lifetime. It`s only when a redesign happens that they change the colours, symbols or images. But even then, they try to keep that recognizable image, colours, symbols.
It generates more impact when all those things change once in a while.

Yeah, I understand why they keep the same colors, but it would be kinda cool to see different colors as well =)

Hello! I'm a newly register lurker of these forums. I have a question, as I didn't touch a Nintendo home console from the Super Nes times, I'm totally clueless about what good titles Nintendo has to offer.

Here's the question: as I'm going to buy the Wii U, wich games from the old WII library would you reccomend?

My favorite genres are:

Jrpgs, Metroid-vania games, Platform RPGs like "Faxanadu".


Thanks for your time!

I'd definitely recommend Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandoras Tower, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Okami, Skyward Sword, Galaxy games and Monster Hunter (though wait for the WiiU version) from your tastes...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Welcome Noll! :)

I`ll just add that you should check Wii`s Virtual Console games to see if there is anything there that you might like.
Here`s a good webiste that lets you check games by system, genre and region: http://www.nintendolife.com/vc/games
As far as i know, it`s up to date!

Enjoy your stay!
