Maybe a third party will release a steering wheel with analogue pedals where the Game Pad sits in the middle of the wheel. You get the tilting of the GAme Pad to control the steering, the proper analogue foot pedals, and the telemetry, etc, shown on the 2nd screen. Should be good.

It's expected because it's EA (not Ubisoft, WB, THQ or Activision), and all of their other games releasing on the WiiU are gimped. Fifa13 is the 2012 engine with lacking features, Madden has the same issues (only magnified and worse), and we all know Mass Effects problems.

Isn't there a Mutant Mudds game slated for a WiiU eShop release? Or is it the same game, only HD?

I just got my 5th ever StreetPass, yet another Japanese tourist this time a girl named Keishi. 3 Japanese tourists in Taiwan (I heard a rumour that the Chinese version of the 3DS doesn't have Streetpass functioning on it?), 1 when back in UK last year and one mate with a 3DS.

I've got a very slow ADSL connection here, and due to my location (in a high tower block) can't get the fast braodband connection to my place. If I want a 4Mb connection, which will be adequate, it'll cost me an arm and a leg, will have to consider it.

I have been super hyped in the past about getting my hands on everything, the controller, ZombiU, Nintendo LAnd, etc. ATM I have completely lost interest. There has been a lack of new information from Nintendo and the fact that mine has to be shipped abroad means I'll get it 3 weeks after launch. So, an extra wait for me. Just hope Nintendo lay down the goods and start talking about the Miiverse and stuff

Changed my pre-orders; basically have cancelled Black OPs2, due to realising that I need to stop spending so much. Now, looks like this; ZombiU Premium Bundle Nintendo Land Batman: Arkham City: AE After launch considering; Black Ops 2 LEGO City Undercover Tank Tank Tank eShop; Nano Assault Neo Puddle

I'm getting the same from The HUT, which is basically the same company operating another 'rival' web dealer.

Yeah, they bring this up in the Asks session. They all laugh about the TV latency being worse than the UPad. If you've got a crap TV then this is clearly going to be an off-putting issue. Hope my TV deals with it OK.

You touch it and SONY HQ blows up. Boom!

This Thursday get your free DLC for the amazing Mutant Mudds, but only accessible if you've got 100% completion on the main game and unlocked Grannie. If you haven't 100%'d it what an incentive to go back and finish off those last levels. Can't wait.

Now if this can connect in some way to the WiiU version, that would be awesome, and worth buying both. ATM I don't know which one to get.

Didn't you hear, Retro's new project is a HD remake of Metroid Prime 3 for the WiiU. Whilst they are releasing the HD Trilogy on PS360.

Only had an hour with it last night, but so far am really enjoying it, despite me being pants and dying quite a few times. It does take a little getting used to and when those enemies who attack faster first pop up they caught me out big time. But, just like Punch-Out the key to it is to learn their offensive techniques, so that you can counter effectively. When done correctly, cutting a swath through a group of enemies it is soooo rewarding. Will be spending a lot of time on this. I like to return to areas I've already cleared to perfect my skills. Thoroughly recommended for all Punch Out fans.

Been umming and arring about this, but after reading @RedShell 's comment about it being like Punch-Out, I'm going to download this tonight.

Probably. I used to go into the equivalent of GAME here, and they would have 6 Wii consoles sitting on the customer service desk, all opened and chipping them there and then, completely open for everyone to see. Then, the night markets sell the pirated games, DVDs, etc. openly also for about 50p each. No-one bats an eyelid, it's just the way it's done here.

Saw them for 32.99 at various online retailers

Yeah, moved to Taiwan over 6 years ago. Prices are similar to UK, but you can only buy Japanese imports, which then tends to bump the price up a bit. When the Wii came out in the UK, I bought a Japanese import from a retailer here for a reasonable price, but just like in China they chip it here as part of the service, and then games are dirt cheap. It took 3 years after the launch before they released a Chinese Wii here. Are you buying Japanese consoles? This time, though, I want a legit console, with English menus. I can't imagine playing CoD with all the those customisation options in Japanese again. So, I'm exporting from UK to Taiwan, and The Hut.com deliver games to Taiwan for 0.99p, bargain. So, I've stopped my piracy days and am going straight. Bought a UK 3DS, too and shipped that over here.

Buy 2, one chipped, one untouched. Only buy those games you deem to be worthy of online play at full price, everything else pay your 50p. I'm sure after buying 10 50p games the saving you've just made from buying them as retail products will pay for the WiiU itself. After another 10 games your laughing. This opinion does not reflect the view of the management, which condones the use of piracy to the nth degree with brass knobs on it.

I haven't been this excited about a console launch since the 3DS: ZombiU Pack-in NintendoLand Batman: AC: AE (not sure if this is at launch, but pre-ordered it anyhow) Call of Duty: BlOps2 Am seriously considering, especially for my son and I to play together; Lego City Undercover Tank Tank Tank (24 quid on The Hut) eShp Titles; Nano Assault Neo Maybe's, when price is reduced at a later date; Assassin's Creed 3 New Super Mario Bros. U (this'll never come down in price, but it's a maybe) Ninja Gaiden 3 (upon good reviews and cheaper price point) Mass Effect 3 (when much cheaper)

You're perfectly correct. I was thinking of watching movies off of HD TV channels, with the, as you say, bad compression. But, also I do own a few early days HD DVD's (not BluRay's) with upscaling, and back in the day they looked quite good, but to today's 1080p there's no comparison.

A lot of companies use HD-Ready, which sounds like 1080p, but in actual fact means 720p (a lot of restored older movies do this, you think you're getting the Full HD experience, but not so). If it says Full-HD that's gotta mean 1080p. It's just companies playing with words to fool the fool.

Reminds me of Geometry Wars from the DS, one of my most played games, addictive as hell. This looks in the same vein, if this has 2 player local and/or on-line it would seal the deal.

WiiU 10 - 0 PS360

Not from me, more please, more. It's fast approaching the biggest buying season for computer games. It only makes sense that every games company will be pushing hard for those extra sales, so bring on them Directs, I expect more to come for the WiiU soon.
