Don't expect anyone to have a go once you're finished.
I can't see them selling on ebay pre-owned either.

You can borrow my "Deluxe" edition if you like

Just tried out Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the WiiU via the new Gamepad function.
It's pretty nice screen looks great.
I'd say it's a good reason to install the homebrew channel so you can play emus from there straight on the screen.
Only thing is it feels odd having to use the Wiimote so close to the screen.
But I'm sure controller pro pad games will be just fine.

MrVestek

Oooooh! I hadn't even considered reinstalling the homebrew channel since my bricking disaster.

Homebrew and emulators on the Gamepad...

Interesting.

Mixing BTTF and BTTF 2 in my halloween costume... :pac:
(Mostly because I don't fancy having to shell out for one of the replica BTTF2 jackets!!!)

CiDeRmAn

Perhaps Sera could help with the jacket, but a red baseball jacket with the arms dyed grey and the other elements glued on would do it.
Same with a pair of white hightop sneakers and some clever use of glue.

I could if Damo wants.
Baseball jackets are still fashion, I've seen pleather sleeved jackets for women like the one in the picture but not for men (I haven't looked)

Star Lord

I've already got myself a red (well, burgundy) body warmer, red tshirt, a blue-white checked shirt and grey high tops that I'm going to paint... So I'll essentially be 1985 Marty with the 2015 cap and trainers

Awesome of you to offer though Sera!

I'm sure it's just me, but the ability to play Wii games on the Wii U pad but still requiring the wiimote seems utterly pointless.

Yeah would that not be the same as just playing the wii on a tiny tv? You can't hold the game pad as you need to be holding the wiimote and nunchuck so it's going to be on a table or something.

Exactly, you'd have to squint at the Wii U pad while its in its cradle as you use the wiimote separately. I really don't see the point

They have baseball jackets in penneys for guys at the moment. I got one recently (not for a costume but for general wear) and I think they're €11. Also spotted them in forever 21.

Yeah. Seems a lot of things I need to bring with me when I'm taking a sh*t and want to play Zack and Wiki.

I think it's more to do with TV availability.

The moment I saw the screen on the WiiU controller streaming content from the console, I automatically thought it was meant for kids to continue playing games when Mam and Dad come in and take over the TV.

So there's no real point in doing this when you have access to a TV - but if little Johnny wants to continue playing Super Mario Galaxy while Mam watches her stories he can sit the controller on the cradle and away he goes

This. It's for those that want to be able to play the Wii games on the Wii U pad as they don't always have access to a telly. Banjo in the Nintendo forum is the main example for me, as he has to pretty much play all his games off-screen, through the pad. So this means he has access to the Wii catalogue now too.

DinoRex I've just patented a new idea... U Wiipe...

CiDeRmAn

It'd be of more use if, in games that use the Wii Pro controller, you could use the controls on the Gamepad itself, then it'd be pretty nice, otherwise the WiiU is next to the TV anyway, plugged in via HDMI, it's only if someone is watching, or playing another console on the TV, that I would use the Gamepad.

That said.
If this was transferable to GC games via the VC, as it must be, you could be playing Majoras Mask on the gamepad quite happily, via the Wii Menu, and hopefully via the WiiU menu when N64 games are, inevitably, released.

o1s1n

You need to put yourself in a child's shoes, I'm pretty sure that's what Nintendo do.

Ciderdude is the man of the house. Nobody will tell him he can't use his TV.

Bit different when you're a 6 year old kid and you want to play a videogame but your dad also wants to watch the footie

My Megadrive was always paused once the Six One news came on

In a situation like that though, & the tv is in such high demand, it seems to me that the Wii U is just in the wrong room. Surely even an aul 17" lcd portable tv in a bedroom is a better option than squinting at the 6/7" handheld screen.

La de dah, mr multiple televisions. I take it you have a rocket car and a solid gold house to go with that? :pac:

Good point, although what if it's the dad's WiiU, he wants to keep it under the big tv but at the same time let junior play games while he watches the news.

Not saying it's major issue in every household (bit of a first world problem tbh!)- but I can see what Nintendo were thinking.

Xenoblade on the jacks. The quickest way to get gangrene in your legs.

CiDeRmAn

But you'll need to have the WiiU in range of the Gamepad, unless you can hack the radio to give it extra oomph.

And Picross is the quickest way to get gangrene in the legs, playing in the jacks makes you forget you need blood circulating in the legs, rather than pooling as you try to figure which block goes where.

I never liked his books, nor his brand of politics tbh.
Found the games to be, for me, fairly irrelevant too.
I think the only one I enjoyed wad the first Ghist Recon, HAWKS was muck.

His Net Force series of books weren't that bad. Kinda like The Matrix before that was a thing.
