M_rock Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I really do believe the WiiU is pretty much something you only "get" when you actually hold it in your hands. I was very confused about the whole thing until I bought one. I have my WiiU for about 3 months now, and I already enjoyed it so much, I might even say I like it more already than the wii.
Debug Mode Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I'll be waiting for the further confusing Wii U Mii Too hardware to come out before I take the plunge.

I kinda had this moment, but it stopped wow-ing me pretty fast after I had it. I fired it up for the first time on Thursday, and that's because I couldn't find my fricking Brawl disc ANYWHERE. Realised it was there, then popped it into the Wii. My gaming's gone through the floor recently(handheld aside) - not touched any of the consoles(except Brawl due to company/the docu) but I doooooooo concur with the thoughts expressed about hands on, and think it's a worthy purchase at that price mr-paul. Just don't get frustrated with it if/when you get bored, it's just...how it is. Or maybe how I am. Damn getting older!

Just don't get frustrated with it if/when you get bored, it's just...how it is. Or maybe how I am. Damn getting older! I'm very similar to you, Rummy (and I must stop following you to every thread :p) I've never been an extremely prolific buyer of games, but for the last few years my gaming activity has dwindled right down, yet has been revived this year by all the great stuff coming out on 3DS. I then couldn't turn down a PS3 with The Last of Us and GTA5 for £199. Along with PS Plus and Humble Bundles filled with games that I've never picked up (or even have a PC good enough to play!), i've never had so many games at my disposal, and now I'm adding to the pile even more. Luckily I'm not the sort of person who gets too frustrated if there's not a new game out that I want. I know what the Wii U does, and I'm not going in with massive expectations about it's library. There's more to my life than gaming, but I know there'll always be something decent from Nintendo to play if it tickles my fancy.
Ike Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 My Maaariooo! </luigi voice> remote arrived today. Might pick up Luigi later on.
Josh64 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Man, that looks wonderful. I'd be tempted to use a clear Wiimote jacket though to show off the blue back
Cube Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Man, that looks wonderful. I'd be tempted to use a clear Wiimote jacket though to show off the blue back I had no idea people actually used them.
Sheikah Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Aye...let's face it, if you launch a Wii remote at full thrust at your TV then it's fucked either way.
Mokong Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Man, that looks wonderful. I'd be tempted to use a clear Wiimote jacket though to show off the blue back You mean those jackets arent just part of the packaging that you take off and descard like bubble wrap (after you've popped teh bubbles of course)?
Blade Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 You mean those jackets arent just part of the packaging that you take off and descard like bubble wrap (after you've popped teh bubbles of course)? No Mokong they are not part of the packaging.
markderoos Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Always use protection people ! But I prefer the feeling without the rubber protection on my joystick!!
Josh64 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 You guys seriously dont use them!? They make the Wiimote feel so much nicer! Especially when holding it sideways for NES-type controls, it gives a little handle on the left hand side
S.C.G Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Wii remote jackets are awful, I got a load of them when Nintendo were giving them away for free because of safety but I've never really used them, I only wanted them at the time because I was entitled to them. :p
Wii Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) You guys seriously dont use them!? They make the Wiimote feel so much nicer! Especially when holding it sideways for NES-type controls, it gives a little handle on the left hand side Definitely agree when using the remote NES style. It's good the pointer way, it's just a pain changing batteries or when your finished with the remote and want to turn of the remote but not the console. Edited November 12, 2013 by Wii
Blade Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 They protect my wii mote when im smashing it to pieces against the table.
Kav Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 They protect my wii mote when im smashing it to pieces against the table. Nothing could save the Gamepad though!
Blade Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Nothing could save the Gamepad though! My gamepad now has a cover for protection against any further unintentional and accidental falls
bryanee Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I used a Wii-mote jacket to slap my brother on the face once, worked a treat.
V. Amoleo Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Anybody else notice that the Nintendo Store is using the same commerce platform as The Hut Group? I was always under the impression that they created their own so either Nintendo have bought it off them or The Hut Group are on Nintendo's behalf (unlikely as I can't see anything mentioning them in the T&Cs). Either way it means I get the stupid bloody emails asking me if I was looking for items after I've viewed them. Not cool.

Wii Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 same: Call the lawyers. That was deliberate and then she covered up her evil face afterwards. What's that ad? We are injurylawyers4u.
