Still and all, it's very sarcastic. I'd delete it before someone else does.

Nintendo makes history by depicting the first anus in video games, excluding Michael Pachter. Hope the Pikmin watch where they're running.

Sunday Times (!) Gave it 5/5 (locked behind paywall review) Good gameplay vid here. Very low level spoiler video.

Thread needs to be renamed the thread of evil torture and sadistic tease.

I don't think there's been anything to suggest it will be done, no. Time will tell on all accounts.

But again, this is just basic multiplayer where the console is sending data over the net through a server to an app device instead of another console. The only geoundwork there is getting the app and console to exchange data.

But what would be the groundwork to get an app to send what is essentially save data to the Wii U? Cloud storage. Nintendo said last year cloud storage is in the works launching sometime this year. Now you're just trying to sell me some idiot pills, aren't you. I'm not an idiot you know. (I'll take 12.)

You have crazy pills! Share'em round!!

Jesus, take a breath Again, you're taking about an app environment that the Wii U could also potentially have. The Wii U in that case then is both seemless and remote, whereas the PS4 and Bone are only fractured. It's pretty hard going trying to refute the beneffits of the Wii U and GamePad's 2nd screen essence, you should relax and give credit where it's due.

UK advert trailer. Hoping they just use the American ad with Brian Blesid voice over lol. Doubt NoE could top that ad. Maybe compliment it with a few lifestyle type ads. They should pay to have Pikmin just pop up randomly in Coronation Street, just pop up out of Norris Cole's half-a bitter or swinging on one of Deirdre Rasheed's fags. Everyone would be like 'what are all these Pikmin things'. Would go viral.

I just don't see anyone sat in work and suddenly thinking "oh, I just remembered, I'm nipping into larva village tonight to buy me the emerald armour, I better put on some shorts and flip flops so I can head straight out when I get back... save me all of 30 seconds" just nahh. Maps and infantry on the screen are incredibly useful, not shit your pants revolutionary, but indispensable. Again though, the Wii U will always do this better because it's right there always in your hands. Putting a pad down to pick up your tablet is even more long-winded than pausing the game and going through menus. The whole ethos of the Wii U doing it is that the gaming experience isn't as fractured, and something like Batman Wii U demonstrates that perfectly. Switching between pad and tab is doing the opposite.

Problem-o solved (when back in stock) http://www.amazon.co.uk/GC-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373896541&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+u+gamecube+controller+adapter

Yeah, but that's almost as bad as touchpad horn on MK8. Totally worthless gimmick IMO. And even then, Wii U could get these apps as well as GP features. Eek. An example of the 2nd screen stuff the others definitely won't be achieving is the likes seen in Rayman Legends or NSMBU etc.

Jesus, they actually threw notes into the budget bucket for the advert. One of the best game adverts I've ever seen. That ad would make anyone feel thirsty for it. NoE, your move.

I suppose there's a point there, controlling a turret or the like might only be like playing CoD over the net. Network latency is a thing though. Which brings up another point. I really can't see PS4/Xbone processing and steaming a dedicated feed to the device, surely the device app must be mostly self contained with graphical and audio assests which means large app sizes. If the consoles do process and stream visual and audio data, then yeah, that's where high latency would come from... just can't see that as an option though.

Whaaa ~0 sec latency gameplay aspects only possible on GamePad. Disjointed, isolated, nonessential aspects available on all 2nd screen devices. No one really knows where the Wii U stands on remote iOS/Droid apps ATM. I heard The Division has 2nd screen ability for another player to control a remote flying turret to provide cover fire, yadda yadda - but with high latency, how the hell will that realistically workout?

Kinda. Not if you want to critique technical aspects. The Wii engine could be a reason why there's no on-line etc... But at this point, yeah, sounds like a great game, looks over-all graphically stunning, 1080p upscalled, 60fps - could have been N'th degrees better if developed on a mature Wii U dedicated engine... (TBH, Wii U engines are probably still being heavily worked on at this moment and won't be fully mature until who knows when). But yeah, not relevant at this point. Just enjoy the game. Some more shots. @Serebii, your last reply was post number PNF-404!! It's a sign (^o^)

But dat grass texture man. I'm planning on being at the top of the leaderboards out of you lot too, so don't be gettin' any funny ideas :-p

From Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot. Something we really already knew about, but still... http://wiiudaily.com/2013/07/ubisoft-wii-u-has-a-chance-if-nintendo-releases-good-first-party-titles/

Nothing was really done with it in MK7 or DS either. When a game requires your focous on the track, what can you do? I'm pretty sure Sonic and NFS are largely the same. NFS used it for some interesting co-driver options and I'm willing to bet the touchscreen will find a larger part to play in some of the multiplayer modes. Though I'm sure most gamers will find simply playing MK8 off-tv quite the luxury. Point being 2nd screen will be employed in varying degrees depending on the individual game and that the horn feature in mk8 isn't a measure of the creative peak of 2nd screen, the GamePad or the developers.

Not as crap as the ones in your examples it seems. Sounds nothing like the GamePad screen. I don't see why people are pretending like GamePads are available in shops and its offical RRP is £100. Seeing as no one should really need to buy a GP until November arrives at the earliest should people just not wait until then to see how much the charge. Personally, I don't see how any PS3/360/Wiimote+ cost as much as the do at the moment... I think they're all a complete rip-off. The GamePad has a lot going on inside it though with gyros, NFC, BT, accelerometers, speakers IR blaster, camera, battery etc, etc... BoM of £30-£50 perhaps, then there's factory labour costs, logistics, licences etc, etc.

Those grassy textures are just a remnant from Wii development. Game would probably see more large delays to get them updated. I'm so over it. By enlarge the good textures far outweigh the single bad texture lol. Anyone sub to lukemorse on YT? He was flabbergasted when he first stared playinging and it looks amazing to me too. Here is his reaction playing the first into level. There isn't anything spoilery in it. I just love the way the foliage moves and sways in unison, with the shadows and depth of field effects. Rubbish grass texture what???

Unless the eShop sees crazy Steam-like sales in the future, I may just scrape through on my 32Gb U. I've got 13Gb spare right now, and that's with around 10Gbs of demos that need deleting.

It supports USB drives - USB3 I assume - and you can upgrade the internal. Can't upgrade the Xbone internal drive, only plug externals in. Regular HDDs are dirt cheap these days.
