Forums - Nintendo - I think I'm buying 2 Wii U's and I have a good reason.

FrancisNobleman on 27 September 2012

Eventually, I'll get a basic Wii U, when it drops price and it's a steal, etc. Of course I'll do this with time but here's the explanation, gentlemen:

 

I'll have a pro model, in my living room. Because I am a pro, of course.  

And, I'll buy another basic model one, to hook up on my car, underneath the radio ( I've got someone who can do that job quite nicely, no amateur bullshit, no sir), and I'll have a mobile home console (henceforth MHC) on my car. Charging the Gamepad will be no problem with the inevitable USB cable that will launch or already is done by some 3rd party.

Advantages:

  1. profiles aren't now tied to hardware. Can use both accounts on the two consoles;
  2. Getting a 2nd Gamepad, to use in your living room or car now justifies just more 100$ for a brand new Wii U. Maybe less at the time;
  3. Next-gen Entertainment on your car if you often carry people. Or have spare time yourself. Not limited to games. Gaming on the Gamepad screen only, unless you want to carry a TV in your car.
  4. If you park near a Wi-Fi spot, you can be gaming next gen games online while at camping, drive-in restaurants, at the beach, etc, you name it.
  5. A 2nd Wii U in case one fails later at the end of its lifecycle and without warranty anymore.
  6. A 2nd Wii U for an old school LAN party. Got a friend wich is a Wii U gamer ? Just insert your account there, dude. Let's play.
  7. If you're visiting a friend who happens to also own a Wii U, guess what, there's a high change you're carrying a Gamepad with you.
Before you LOL, I've seen people getting up to 4 Xbox360 during this generation lifespan, not because they wanted extra consoles, but because the ones either eventually ROD'd or wanted to upgrade to a new model. PS3 owners did the same jumping from FAT to Slim PS3.
Owning 2 Wii U's for your own entertainment at new levels, squeezing the better, out of the best experience possible you can have on this upcoming next Nintendo generation of software... And you're not doing it because your old console got obsolete or malfunctioned. It's not much a farfetched  idea comparing to those 2 scenarios.
That is all. I'm getting dinner now. Munchies.

Very Cool Idea. Not sure if this is available where you are but here I can create a wi-fi hotspot out my Iphone which would allow you to access miiverse off your Wiiu wherever you were!  Could be neat.

If you carry a 4G network yes, a 3G networking is simply too slow. I've have yet to meet someone with a smartphone using 4G on the fly.

It's a fine idea. I prefer my mobile gaming on the smaller side, but to each his own.

We have 3 functional Xbox 360's in this house (while our first RRoD'd), but I still laughed.


If more people follow your lead I can see the dedicated portable gaming market dying faster than anyone expected.

a WiiU in your car?
thats....AWESOME!!!
the problem is i get sick easily while travelling on any kind of vehicle, i cant read or play videogames...:P

Hey, that means I'll be able to take my Wii U with me on the train and the bus! And I probably will, just to see the reactions.



sethnintendo on 27 September 2012

Not a bad idea. I remember playing NES in my family's van back in the day with my cousin on Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl... Cousin was a pure bad ass at that game considering I thought I was very good but he could beat me almost every time with crap teams (Bears (when they were good) vs Browns)).

I suppose it doesn't get too hot in Portugal during the summer, does it? It could be a good stress test for the Wii U. Will it overheat due to be left out in a hot ass car all day? I am sure a launch 360 would.

Doesn't it defeat the purpose of camping to be in the car playing video games? XD



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
