Forums - Nintendo - The Wii U review thread: Console, games~ They are coming .... Reviews in OP! Sports game does great on Wii U, IGN gives NBA2K13 a 9.1!! Trusted site Joystiq gives Zombi U a 4.5/5!

 

What Wii U games score has surprised you the most?

ZombiU 104 63.03%
 
Mario 14 8.48%
 
NintendoLand 20 12.12%
 
TTT2 3 1.82%
 
Ninja Gaiden 3 9 5.45%
 
Other ( post below) 8 4.85%
 
Total:158

Does anyone know if you can connect the sound separately to an amplifier?
I didn't see any optical or digital sound out ports in the Eurogamer review. Can you only get digital surround sound over the HDMI or is there another way to get digital sound from the multi av out port while using HDMI for picture?

I see more of a gaming culture difference that splits the ZombiU perception. The americans are more used to having "go in, gun blazing, twitchy fingers", while the europeans are more for the psychological thrill...

Bloody hell, Batman WiiU got a great score, now I can't wait to read IGN's tae on it... later, chaps!

The Batman games are the only games on PS3/360 I've really loved. I'm not surprised by the positive reception (and the "lol late port GamePad is a gimmick" reviews).

Now I just need to find reviews for Little Inferno...

Well, found a review for the PC version of Little Inferno.
This might convince me to 100% join Rol's anti-indie crusade.

I must've read wrong who did the review for the Batman, 'cause I was dissapointed no review for it on the front page. lol Gotta read those earlier post again! *facepalm*

But IGN's video chat is up and what they talked made me remember that no-one and I mean NO-ONE was anticipating NSMBU with high hopes, after the 2 Mario games in the same time frame, but on 2 different consoles (and the NSMB2 fiasco)... Now that it's out, just about everybody is jumping on the game! lol at the irony in ourselves... XD

The wii u version will be better. I bet ....something.

Nobody gives a damn. This is a game where even free would be overpriced, because it would cost you time to play it.

When it comes to downloadable games, the Wii U will have Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition and Nano Assault Neo at launch, so we can and should spit on indie games.


Indeed. Small, not-so-independant developers are where it's at.

Though I am disappointed that it's crap compared to World of Goo.

Great thread, spruge. I can't believe how bipolar reviewers are being about ZombiU.



well, we know exactly what Little Inferno will be and for 15$ its very pricey. but even still, it looks like a fun game although very niche. If you dont like it, im not surprised but I am planning on getting it eventually



Im getting ZombiU no matter what they say, i like what ive seen from it



I don't think I have ever seen such a wide range of scores on a game before. I am still probably going to buy it.

ZombiU
