Well, only if they'd let me play using the Wiimote-nunchuk combo. Infinitely superior to dual analog for shooters.

Until your arm falls off from having to constantly aim the Wiimote at the screen and move it all around, that is.


Sit comfortable in the chair. Rest your arm on the (hmm, have to look up the word in english) armrest (?? http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed§Hdr=on&spellToler=&search=armlehne) and if you have the right distance to the sensor bar you move the wiimote only a little to move the cursor on the screen. Very comfortable.

Good idea.  But you know what's even more comfortable when sitting in a chair and resting your arms on an armrest and all that?

A NORMAL FRIGGIN' CONTROLLER!!!

In all honesty, i've found the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, when used like a normal controller, to be more comfortable when sitting back, because you can spread your arms and don't have to be all hunched together around the controller itself. Moving on to the U-Pad or backwards to the Pro controller will feel a shame after that king of comfort.

(1) ACIII, Batman, Darksiders hardly matter since they will release earlier on PS360. Gamers who want those games will have finished them before WiiU releases.

(2) I'm pretty sure you must have both screens to face each other. Otherwise I don't see the point of the gyroscopic crosshairs.

(3) So it's perfectly the same as with a normal controller.

(4) As i said, this constant going back and forth between gamepad and TV would be totally uneffective in a fast paced FPS, in which you need to have permanent focus.

(1) True enough. Many will have played them already (not all). I only wanted to say, that mentioning Nintendo Land and saying the console does nothing for core gamers, while at the same time core games come, is wrong. And yes, as a new console it first get's some ports of older games, I'm pretty sure later we will see announcement of other games that come to these platforms at the same time. But for now, the developers test the waters with proved successful games.

(2) Why gyroscopic? How in the hell you come to think, that you aim with motion- and gyro-sensors? That is laggy, too imprecise and it can't work. How should you detect motions to the left and right? Remember, if you aim with the WiiMote, you don't use gyro- and motion-sensors. You use the IR-cam in the wiimote that detects the IR-lights in the sensor-bar. So the whole thinking makes no sense. You surely aim with a stick. That's probably the reason, why a thumb is on one of the sticks in the image. Maybe someone was at E3 and tested ZombiU (I think this image is from that game) and tell more about the controls for sniping.

(3) I said, what I think could be an advantage if done good: "Think you have multiple enemies. You don't need t leave snipe-mode to look where the next enemy is, just look at the TV and you know which direction to move the control-stick."

(4) That image seems to be from ZombiU. The scene they showed at E3 where the sniping is done, at that scene the player is on the roof of a house and sniping down. It seems a pretty safe situation. The zombie wasn't moving very much, so it's not fast paced. Probably you never heard that before, but different games sometimes implement different control schemes.

WiiU is going to have the best version of every multiplat, i know it must be hard to accept, just deal with it Sonysoft fans...

I wouldn't be too sure. 3rd-parties have showed their ability to bugger up. And especially for Batman the use of the WiiU-Gamepad looks ... gimmicky. It may distract from the real game. ZombiU looks more promising for good usage of the system, but for some multiplats I may prefer the classic controller.

Can I just point 3 things out here to the retards....

1) The WiiU has the pro controller, so you could play COD with that and have better graphics than the PS3 and XBox

2) If everyone played on the GamePad, then everyone would have to look at the second screen for their map putting everyone equally at a disadvantage, therefore, there would be no advantage.

3) Anyone who says you have to 'flail your arms' to play the Wii is probably a 12 year old idiot who's never played the Wii before....


THIS!

Of course CoD Black Ops will sell more on the HD twins, but that is not what this guy said. I think he was refering to core nintendo gamers who are going to buy the console and may also have a 360 or a PS3

That doesn't matter at all. You just don't get it do you? Nintendo is late to the party, people have already been playing those games and they WILL sell like shit because of Nintendos low core base at launch. You will have to be a true Nintendo fan to buy the Wii U with the offerings they are already showing. They are pandering to the PS360 crowd with the same games they've already been playing. Not smart....not smart at all. The only people who I could fathom buying the Wii U for multiplats are core Wii only owners who never got to touch those games before (Which are an even smaller minority than on the PS3/360). 



if you want to play the best multiplats you have to own a WiiU, very simple, if you dont want to spen money to play the best, its up to you...

PSN/Live communities are another thing that keeps COD running. I only played COD on the Wii for the novelty of the wiimote, which was kind of fun, but when I was being serious I went back to the PS360.

I pretty much agree with you here. I think, NSMBU will do the heavy lifting and sells console and Pikmin 3 is sweetening the deal for some people. Batman and Mass Effect will not sell much consoles, as many people already own these games. Assassin's Creed may be a different story, it will be released shortly before the holidays. Maybe WiiU will be already out then, maybe it will come a month later. But people already know ACIII will be released on this platform and may wait for the launch before buying the game. Darksiders comes earlier, but may also worth a wait. I think the message Nintendo wants to deliver for now is: This time we also get the multiplats. ACIII and Darksiders 2 hint, that future multiplats may be released at the same time on WiiU.

But the first system-sellers have to come from Nintendo. So far it's only NSMBU. As usual the third-parties will only release their big guns, if a decent userbase was already created.

i didnt mention sales....of course they are going to sell more on current HD consoles, the userbase is 65m to 0 right now...i was talking about the quality and how the best multiplats being on a Nintendo platform must be hard to accept for certain people.
