    Oh of course, didn't mean to complain or put you off - just wanted to give a heads up about the often experienced feeling of lack of good enough range. I'm hoping it works out for you(as for you it seems it'll be quite ideal, as opposed to myself where my situation doesn't necessarily need it) but I'd still be interested in your actual experiences once you've gotten your hands on the console.

     

    It's on the way, finally :), have to wait some 10-14 days to get it :) (I hope at least). After that I will need max 1-2 days to see how it works :).

     

    One question :).

     

    I will get the Super Mario Bross and Super Luigi game, after that I will probably get Mario Kart 8 (for family and friends), but the third game should be some action/RPG game and this is he list of games I have so which one should I get in your opinion:

     

    1. Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate

    2. Resident Evil Reveleations

    3. Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker

    4. Bayonetta 2

    5. Lego Undercover

    6. Huryle Warriors

    7. Batman Arkham City

    8. Deux Ex Human Revolution

    9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

    10. Splatoon (OK, this one is on the list and actually high up, but I know one has played it yet)

     

    Now, the first 5 games are top on the list, without any specific order (actually MHT has my biggest attention) + Hyrule Warriors, everything else is there just in case :D.

     

    After the N64 for I didn't have any Nintendo console till Wii, but I got it last year and most games don't look good on HD TV's, so I didn't play them, so the only game I know from the list is the Zelda series, plus I did play old Resident Evil Games, that's why I am no familiar with the other staff and am asking here :).

     

    Thx.

    It may get the new COD this year (other than last year it got them and they were pretty impressive, 2 player online one on the gamepad and one on the TV is great.

     

    As for Horror, I would really recommend Zombi U, some people don't like it but I loved it and thought it was one of the most inventive horror games in a long long time. Also this year Fatal Frame 5 is getting released.

     

    I know, but I meant something new to bring new people in, something with "wow effect".

     

    I think Nintendo really thought there was more value to Off-TV than there was in reality. These days people tend to have a number of screens around the home, kids have TVs/computers/monitors in their bedrooms, or there's at least more than one in the house somewhere. Even the cost of them second hand/new isn't that high of a barrier these days either.

     

    I'd be interested to see how you feel once you have it also - one other big problem I had was the range of the off-TV, the Gamepad can quite quickly start dropping out - almost making it redundant unless you essentially actually wanted to use it in, or rather close to, the room where the console is. Of course, experiences may(and do) vary but I've found it less than what I'd like personally.

     

    When I was a kid, off-TV play would have been close to a godsend, but right now for my own situation(non-family, own place) it isn't really worth too much in general, except maybe functioning as a handheld when I wanna slob out and play a game AND watch TV at the same time - but I actually have another TV for that if I really felt the need.

     

    I agree that it is probably different with me, but still the pad should be a plus, even if you don't use it to much.... I will use it more than most people probably, so maybe I am not the best to judge this.

     

    Also, I thought that the Pad works up to 10m away from the console. If there are some problems with that, obviously it's a problem (in my case not a big one as I can move the console to the bedroom, but we are talking about new buyers). I will have to wait to see how it works.

     

    The gamepad is the best thing about the Wii U and yet gets the most stick. It's worth it just for off screen play and as @dazzybee pointed out 2 player multiplayer. Since I've had my PS4 I've realised just how great the gamepad is as there is only a small window every day where I can get the tv to myself. People moan that it's made the console too expensive but it's still the cheapest console you can buy even with an extra pro controller so I really don't get the negativity.

     

    I hope that I will like it as much as you do :D.

    To include my self into the discussion.

     

    I am still waiting for my Wii U (I've got it for 250 euros in Germany - Mario and Luigi bundle and it did sell out in a few days from the shop who was selling it), but the thing I am probably looking most to is the game pad, as I will be able to play it away from TV. Don't get me wrong, I prefer to play it on TV, but because of a specific situation, I usually only have time when I go to sleep (so can play it in the bed for half an hour or a hour), or when my daughter is a sleep and she often sleeps in the TV room, so I can't use the TV.

     

    The pad is almost like a second console and I don't get it why is it a problem for people (I didn't use it yet, so maybe I'll find out).

     

    Also, I think that Nintendo needs 2-3 more big games, shooting games (Splatoon could be the one, Starfox), RPG (Xenoblade Chronicles X could be that one), or a horror game (they need something for that), while they really have a good collection of other games (Mario bros, Super Luigi, Mario 3D, Mario Kart, Smash Bross, Zelda, they have some shooters nice shooters, Lego City Undercover, Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter Ultimate, Batman Arkham City, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Rayman, Captain Toad, Kirby, Wonderfull 101, Hyrule Land, some popular "old" games, lots of indie games and they also have some sports games but not the newest ones) and when the 2-3 games are out they should start again a massive advertisement with nice prices (nothing to low) as people still think that there are no games for the Wii U.

     

    I am sure a new marketing campaign would sell a good number of consoles as now they do have enough games they can show (and they have to show it during the marketing campaign).

    Thank you a lot for the answer :).

     

    To give a longer answer.

     

    I know that the e-shop is usually more expensive, but in my country the retail prices are usually higher than in rest of Europe, so the e-shop should be cheaper at the and.

    Hi, I am new here and need some help :).

     

    I am in the process of getting a Wii U (hope there is an Easter offer), but, my plan is to get it in Germany, while I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina - not EU, but Europe :)).

     

    My question is am I going to be able to use the e-shop without restrictions and also, on what country should I set it (I've read that it could change the games I can buy)?

     

    Also, because I would probably buy all the games from the e-shop (as it is cheaper then buying it here) do they have most of the games on e-shop, especially the first party ones?

     

    And the last question for now, my friend is going to test the Wii U before he sends it here, so will it be a problem for me to set it up again, is there a reset option, or is he supposed to set it up the was I am going to use it?

     

    I hope everything is clear with the questions and that somebody is going to be able to give me some answers :).

     

    Thx a lot in advance :).
