I played around with it today... The thing I didn't like is when I typed in my address (thinking it would take me to my street so I could check out my neighborhood), it took me to the center of downtown instead.

Other than that, it was cool to look around at other big cities around the world. I will probably use it more before I travel somewhere.

Yep, it doesn't even have my street address recognizable which is weird since Google maps finds it with ease.  It finds a road with the same name a town over that has no association with my road.

Is this for real? The best thing about Wii U is google maps? That is sad


Do u really think it's that good.. ?

I like it. but wii u games and the internet (upad) are the "shit" for me

PS.. This is a Virtual reality product.. This is what i mean by "the upad is a Virtual reality unit" only thing missing is a headversion.. a head version who not need touch and buttons.. i bet any thing they will show us some real VR (Wii-R) at e3 2013


Yep, I like using the Wii U pad while I take a shit.  Just remember not to stay seated for too long or your legs could fall asleep.

The VB was a plastic thing standing on the table.. and the hardware was not ready.
This time. u will have the option (if it's in the game) to look around in zelda and see the enemys closing in from all sides.. or u could look down in a star wars game (whit the head set on) an see a freaking light saber, instead of the wii-mote.. U could walk the sun.. watch movies on incredible big screens.. u could... actuly u could do anything.. 

And like i said before.. nintendo know it's the shit.. and wiiu a prepared.. can stream the picture to a gyro controlled controller..
------------


I gave this some thought. the WiiU would need to send 2 images (each eye) and you would need four sensor bars (in order to use the WiiRemote). Hopefully wireless sensor bars could be stuck to ur walls with sticky tape. Or just use gamepad pro.


Virtual fucking Reality

No no.. havent you seen johnny lees video from 2006 (where he use wii-motes for heatracking) 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

The point is.. When the image i motion controlled (and now we even had gyro to.. much more Precise) it means u could do headtracking.. and it means that when u look around. everything will look like 3d.. It's not 3d.. but when the image a follow your heads mowment it appers that way.

No need for 2 image. and no need for and ekstra sensorbar..

And nintendo said that wii u supports 2 upad.. That means the wiiu can support 2 headset.. and 3-4 wii-motes (meaning up to 2 players in vr..and offcourse many in online :) )  and others can watch the game in the tv (but offcurse. not in vr.. but they can follow) until it's there turn.

Think of it.. nintendo don't wanna do a VR-consol.. but they can easily make a Wii-R serie (like singstar, G hero, and so)

i made this video some time ago.. see it. and think about it.. this will hapend, and nintendo will be first..

I like your video!

 The way I imagine it, the WiiU will send two images. If it sends just one image in front of your face you'll go cross-eyed >-<. The bonus of having identical images for each eye is your getting true 3D.

I also imagine shooting stuff by pointing the WiiRemote in any direction. This feature would require the WiiRemote be upgraded with a proper geomagnetic sensor, gyroscope and accelerometer, just like the uPad.  No more sensor bars.


Wow MMO in the same Virtual Reality... I can't wait!

Thanks for the tip!

How long does this take to load?

I downloaded it and it is stuck at the world map with a blue dotted circle spinning around.  I reset the console and the same thing.  Anyone else have this problem?



snyps on 20 February 2013

I've not had that problem but your avatar/name is awesome. cheered me up after a lame ps4 unveil :)

 

takes less than one minute



Crom on 20 February 2013

 

Hahaha!  Thanks brother.

 

Yeah it is weird.  It opens and just stays on that screen for 10 minutes plus.  I deleted it and redownloaded it.  Same thing.  Maybe I will call Nintendo Customer Service tomorrow.  Just wondering if this happened to anyone else.
