Yup and the gpu being nearly twice as fast as the one on 360 that is already stronger then on ps3. And having 2gb ram + edram vs 512 ram on ps3 and 360. And supposedly the processor is bit faster then 360 one. Still they are atm developing a new console need to see what it will be in 2017.
Splatoon update: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...ade-the-most-exciting-online-shooter-in-years all the new good games are the wii-u atm. No surprises there though really
Anyone else get affordable space adventures? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bn8f-ogszc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO0PefdLXuc http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/affordable-space-adventures A really good game, probably the best use of the gamepad i've seen. Quite expensive for the length though.
Just a small reminder that today the second Mario kart pack opens, and also we get our hands on those 200c races. Add me if you would like a easy win. The-Omega-Man (my fave Heston movie from the 70s, you got to love The Family)
Yanase Noriyuki who has done mecha designs for Gundam 00 and a couple other Gundam projects and Gunpla is doing the mecha designs for Xenoblade Chronicles X. That is awesome, considering 00 has my favorite mecha designs!
I just hope Xenoblade X has an option to shut up the party members. I stopped playing xenoblade because of that.
Nintendo asked Burnout dev to make Wii U F-Zero... But Criterion was too busy on Need for Speed. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-23-nintendo-asked-burnout-dev-to-make-wii-u-f-zero
I actually reached forward and turned my monitor off after reading that headline. Thought to myself "nah...that cant be right" *cycles monitor power* "Nope, still there..wtf"
Terraria is heading to Wii U and 3DS in Q1 2016 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-07-31-terraria-is-heading-to-wii-u-and-3ds-in-q1-2016
Necrothread, but did not want to make a new one just for this. I picked up Ghosts and Black Ops 2 for the Wii U. Pleasantly surprised by both! Both peaked at about maybe around 2000 or so last night, mostly in TDM(which I like to play Hardcore TDM). If you're looking for a specialty type gameplay, make some friends then! I did prefer Black Ops II. Would love to see a a new COD game on the Wii u.
Xenoblade Chronicles comes out in a few day as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvpNXhzscjQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nk79b821kU
They have increased somewhat, last time i played them both were under 900, and nobody, but nobody ever seemed to play my fave, search and destroy, i don't think i had one game on that mode, yet on the original wii this was very popular on the BO.
My wii u is sitting at my gf's house. I knew if I kept it here I would of sold it off and I wanted to play Xenoblade Chronicles. So thankfully, I still have the system to play this game now that's its almost out. Unfortunately, the girl got quite attached to Mario Kart 8 and new super Mario bros U. I'm gonna have to kick her in the front butt and run out the door with it.
I find Xenoblade Chronicles X to be the most disappointing game I have ever played. Its okay, but riddled with bad design decisions, and absolutely terrible city music. Add to that, its not really a "land traversing adventure," its more of a hub city where you go out and explore the planet, and come back... and its far too heavy on the Japan-anime stuff/tropes/whatever this time around. Buyer use caution. I am only posting this to potentially save people money, as I wasted mine (yes I bought digital). And for the record, I made the Xenoblade Chronicles 1 thread years back, and it still remains the best game I have ever played.
