Hot damn, those Wii U sales are abysmal. Nintendo will really need to shake things up next time around; they can't afford to ignore the competition any more.

I'd definitely be up for a couple of normal mode raids, purely because I have only one heavy ammo pack left and some alts to run through who aren't quite L32 yet (particularly my Titan). I know some of us from yesterday want to run the raid with our alts to get more gear (Eddage wanted to run his Titan through). What about Friday evening for alt number 1 (let's say 8:30PM), and another on Sunday afternoon at 4PM? No worries if some of you want to do a raid with another group. I'll throw out first refusal to everyone we spoke to yesterday who said they were interested, anyone else is free to join too. @Zell @Map @Shorty @Eddage @MilaGi

Fang of ir Yut. Fuck. Fuck yes.

I'm not too bothered by that change. Looks like Chateau Romani just became even more useful.

Looks cool, but mastering a new way of doing it probably isn't going to happen in the 5 heavy ammo packs I have left. Hardest bit with that I think is not being able to see where Crota is as easily (and 2 titans dropping that bubble in sync). We all good for 8:20 PM? @Shorty @Map @Zell @MilaGi @Eddage

Yeah, so close. Soon...

If he just wants to play one game then £50 ain't cheap.

Yep. Shall we say from 8:20?

Just a reminder to @Map @Zell @MilaGi @Eddage to do a normal Crota with alts at 8. Also would be cool at Crota checkpoint to log onto our characters from yesterday and get that checkpoint to get normal Crota loot at least. Space for one more if anyone wants. @Deathjam?

Yeah, you can select a game to play and navigate the menu using the Wii U pro controller.

Thanks! Yeah we still had the last spot free.

I know, from a technical standpoint you'd have to be a mega Apple fanboy to argue their phones are the most technically superior, even when they come out.

Really can't wait for this game. I wonder if we'll be able to co-ordinate where we are to our friends and they can attempt to hyperdrive there. The idea that every planet is procedurally generated so they load the same for everyone, as opposed to each planet being stored in the cloud as data once discovered, really surprised me. Such a clever way of doing it.

To be honest, a 16GB would probably do you. Given how little incentive there usually is to buy digital versions of retail Nintendo games you're really only looking at needing it for the odd retro title, and they don't take up much space. We're also quite late in the 3DS's life, so I can't see you needing that much space.

Guys, it's happened! Xur's finally selling it.

I don't think anyone has ever argued any different - of course PS4/X1 games could come to Wii U if they were rewritten for Wii U and graphically gimped (as you say, 720p, and no doubt a lot of future games would have reduced textures and number of models on screen). The point is that this massive undertaking is a complete technical block that prevents games easily going to Wii U, even if developers wanted to port their games across. Saying that the games wouldn't get to go across anyway because developers don't have interest in Wii U is all well and good, but let's not pretend that there isn't a massive technical issue to it as well.

Try using all capital letters, or all lower case.

I'd say at least half the people on this forum have had 'franchise fatigue' with Nintendo, that's for sure.

Get the Vanquisher VIII.

What enables it to be a fashion statement is that you have it on your person all the time, because it's a phone. Through Apple's ridonculous marketing it has become an accessory like a watch; something a Wii U can't really ever be. It's why iPhone can become such a strong brand even though its specs are inferior to many android phones - it's something you're seen with, unlike the Wii U. In the Wii U's case, people won't buy it as a fashion accessory if the specs are outdated, because that makes no sense. They'd only buy it for probably one of these 2 reasons: - The exclusive games on the system are extremely desirable to the point the console becomes hugely successful (isn't happening) - The console has an added gimmick that taps into something the mass public wants at the time (Wii's magic isn't happening here)

That was some James Bond style bridge forming in the nick of time and escaping at the end there Daft. It'll still be lower than a similar spec gun at the current max attack.

But also, iPhones are a fashion statement, Wii Us aren't.

@Agent Gibbs well yeah, a high impact weapon will do more damage per shot than a low impact one but does far less shots in a given space of time (lower rate of fire), so the idea is that the overall damage dealt should level out. Shame that the idea never rings true though, often due to low weapon stability and poor stopping power of low impact weapons. What Daft is saying though is that the DPS (ie. overall damage over time) from 300 attack weapons won't cut it.

That's fair enough, although you can get cases smaller than the Alienware Alpha for custom building.

My PC is near enough silent (quite easy to achieve if you build it yourself), and if I wanted to I could put it behind my TV + stand so it wouldn't be seen. Honestly, you'll pay more for those sort of compact computers and get relatively low performance where you're dependent on updates, compared to a great PC with an SSD. They needn't be large either - not with mini ITX cases.
