    Had to leave it downloading over night. tried 3 times too, got to about 90% after 2 hours then stopped.

    What way have you the wifi set up on Horizons? Ive tried every different combo of channels and bands

    Wifi is horrible on Horizon in my experience. I'd to revert back and get a router from them again. So much faster.

    The wireless ins't 240mbit, your internet is.

    The wireless is probably around 30mbit/s if you're lucky.

    Also, Nintendo servers are absolute trash, like most console's servers. Just more so, since it's not subsidised.

    Ah I know but it does help to get better speeds if others are using the network at the same time. On my phone I get about 100Mbps on 5Ghz and about 60 on 2.4Ghz. I've never done a speed test on the wii u though.

    So like most announcements/teases about announcements these days, nothing seems to have come from that suuposed big Famitsu Wii & DS reveal that was reported last month? Looked it up online and found the cover of the magazine, but didn't see anything that stood out. Unless it was some game big in Japan

    Got my Wii U and have started playing New Super Mario bros U. Really enjoying it. Have Mario Kart 8 to one side which I have to play yet. Want to get Zelda The Wind Waker next. Nice selection of games I can't get on my PS4.

    Do not allow Mario Kart 8 to gather dust!
    It's the best game of the current gen of consoles and the DLC has only made it even better value.
    Windwaker is brilliant though.

    Mmmm more of a tossup, but I probably prefer MK8 purely for the fun factor

    And for the fact I don't have a PS4 or don't really like those types of games, even though I have Demon's and dark Souls sitting unplayed at home.

    I wasn't really a fan of the souls games either but this is unreal. Sorry for digressing!

    Anybody play tetrobot & co, it's currently on sale for 2.99?

    As I've said elsewhere Bloodborne and Resogun are two great reasons to own a PS4, possibly the only two reasons to own one, though Drive Club has finally become the game it was launched to be.
    But Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, NSMBU and Zelda to come, just brilliant.

    That's high praise indeed. I think I'll pick up the Wii U Mario Kart Premium Pack on sale for €299 in Argos.

    It comes with a proper physical copy of the game as well. There's a lot to be said for that.

    Aren't HMV selling the Premium bundle for €190? It would be better and cheaper to buy that and get MK8 separately.

    Have started playing it but I'm still giving most of my attention to Super Marios bros. U which I have nearly completed. Well the storymode anyway. Haven't collected all the gold coins, but with an ever increasing selection of games to start/finish I may leave that for awhile.

    Are they? I don't have a HMV near me and their website doesn't mention the Wii U at all.

    New Nintendo Direct on May 7 at 3pm UK time, focusing on Splatoon.

    Also Playtonic (former Rare employees) unveiled their full 'Project Ukulele' game today. It's titled 'Yooka-Laylee', with 'Yooka' being a chameleon and 'Laylee' being a bat.
    The game is being launched on Kickstarter tomorrow and they hope to have it released on Wii U, along with other platforms.

    I'm liking the chunky world design, it's a little bit like Sonic Lost World, only, y'know, good.

    Is Sin and Punishment worth a punt at €14.99?

    What about any of the Kirby games? I'm itching for something.

    SSBU still sits virtually unplayed. Just can't warm to it, and I've noone to play local with.

    Buy S&P on disc, it's cheaper and better that way.


    They're alright, I guess. But the one I want is Kirby's Adventure and that only has 25% off compared to the rest at 50%. Wii games are overpriced on the eShop. In fact, most all games are.


    I'm the same with Smash. I don't know why. I've barely played it.

    Sin and Punishment is great fun - it's basically a futuristic take on the old arcade game Cabal. Scale is huge, action is frantic but it's a tiny bit ugly these days. Cost me 7 quid on disk, was worth it.

    I still haven't activated Mew on SSBU. I just can't be arsed. There's nothing wrong with the game, it's just that pretty much all the other games on WiiU are better :D

    Going to trade SSBU and a couple of others for Kirby & The Rainbow Paintbrush and Puzzle & Dragons next week.

    Yay! Other people hate SSB too.... I'm not the only one!

    Got it yesterday.

    My DK amiibo unlocked Kirby Super Star, and it's 180 second trial.

    Just long enough for me to start the 2nd stage.
