re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
I'd try it out. :lol: The button is on the controller and I want to push it and make some wizardry happen.
As for actual integration, being able to type on the gamepad vs. using the remote would be fantastic. |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
So I finally got around to doing the Wii transfer. Had a whopping 4 games eligible for a WiiU update. I was surprised to see I had 2100 Wii Points which transferred. But lemmie get this straight, I have 2100 points but they are only good in the Wii store not the WiiU eshop? That's pretty shitty.

The points is just something that doesn't transfer properly to the U VC. I'd rather it be $20 in points vs my $250 Wii VC games. |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
What if you had $250 in Wii points, though? I don't understand it myself, they run both stores, and yet you can't even share a wallet between the 3DS and the WiiU.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Nintendo doesn't do much of anything related to accounts/online purchases particularly well.

What's shady is you can't transfer XBL or PSN games to the consoles. That's shady.

Money is money, that's BS!

The Wii ability on the Wii U is definitely value added, but the PS3 not being on the PS4 and the Xbox 360 not being on the Xbox One don't really cripple either one. But it'd be a nice addition down the line. |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Shady isn't really the right word either. It's not like there's an underhanded reason for it.
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Yeah... The Xbox 360 and PS3 are going to be really difficult to emulate for a while yet.
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
This just shows how ass-backwards Nintendo is with some aspects of gaming.
There would be a huge outrage if MS or Sony did something similar... Hell, there were bitches crying because MS instituted an expiration of Points that are converted to $ |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Yeah, the lack of BC on the new consoles are disappointing, but not deliberate.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Right....
Now back to the actual topic - Wii Points =/= Wii U Points is BS! |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
It's not anywhere close to being shady. There are sound technical reasons why BC isn't on the XB1 and PS4.
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
I think the big question is how that is shady.
They're both entirely different platforms that aren't backwards compatible. It's like going from Windows to OS X and wondering why you can't play Call of Duty 2. Alright, bad example since Call of Duty 2 was ported to OS X, but it is a Mac OS X specific-edition, you can't play the Windows version on OS X. The Wii U is still running off IBM Power PC platform, it's basically a souped up Wii making it fairly easy to be BC. Kind of surprised they took away GC support. |
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
No GC support? shady!
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Well that one actually is kind of shady, since it's obvious the Wii U could support it with no problem.
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Well, they removed GC functionality from the Wii. I wonder how much of it was because of the cost of BC and how much was the cost of adding four controller ports.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Anyone grab 101 today? With WW days away I'm passing on it (for now).
|
re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
Guess I'm picking up Rayman, Wonderful 101, and Pikmin from Target on September 22nd.
