Wii U - allgemeiner Diskussionsthread

[JesusOfCool]

sollte es nicht auch ein premium pack mit zombiu geben?

[E-G]

für mich ist es kein vollwertiges spiel, kann ich nicht beurteilen, ich habs ja nicht gespielt, aber jeder der es gespielt hat ist davon überzeugt, und wenn selbst eine einzelne disziplin (von über 10?) mehr inhalt hat als ganz wii sports hat kann man wohl kaum noch von tech demo sprechen. maximal von für einen persöhnlich uninteressanter software.

und joah, zombie u bundle eben

aber jut, wenn ich weder nintendoland noch zombie u will seh ich auch wenig sinn im premium pack.
download is sowieso fürn arsch

[lAmbdA]

btw...K.O. Kriterium zugunsten des Premium Packs ist am Ende eh die schwarze Farbe

Hat bei mir auch jegliches Abwägen obsolet gemacht

Nintendo Land/NSMBU

Just went to the Wii U Experience in LA this past weekend and the Wii U launch lineup is looking improved from E3.

First, Nintendo Land is gorgeous. Even with a standard mini-game like Mario Chase the colors are extremely vibrant and animate like butter. Also there aren't any jaggies like that NOA screen grab; it looks spot on with the Japanese grab. Both the TV and the GamePad relay 60 FPS action, though the GamePad LCD is washed out a bit compared to the main screen.

What was more impressive was the lighting in stages of Metroid Blast. The neon beams laid into the simple, blocky level looked like they were ripped from Tron Legacy and pulsated with neon blue and purple hues.

New Super Mario Bros. U was the most popular at the event and the new levels don't disappoint. It's probably the first time Mario, Luigi and toads look exact to their CG renderings and the lighting is amazing, from the heated fireballs to the dynamic lighting that reflects off Mario when stepping on the rotating star at night. Same as Nintendo Land, NSMBU is 60 FPS on the main screen and the GamePad.

It's clear that these are not our old Wii titles updated in HD. The lighting, shaders, models are far beyond what Nintendo has ever done. I think people will be impressed when they see it in action.

WiiU Pad

Went to the los Angeles event last night. Was pretty nice to have a hands on. No doubt its more powerful than the 360 and ps3 but none of the launch games offer a big leap. Everything was sharper, smooth framerates but no real leap asset wise. No fault of the hardware tho but you'd expect atleast one title to stand out. Does make me wonder tho what the next systems will be able to churn out.

The screen of the controller was nice. Looks better than the 3ds/xl screen. Light but large. The pro controller feels like a smaller lighter 360 controller. Honestly I'd say I came away more impressed than I thought I would but still not purchase material at all. I'll wait to see what can really be done with the hardware. Surprisingly nintendoworld seemed to be the killer app and ninja gaiden 3 looked the best.

When I played it in Atlanta, it felt great to hold. The buttons and sticks were tight and responsive, the weight distribution felt just right, and it was easy to hold with either one or both hands. It definitely feels like a lot of R&D went into it.

WiiU pad / Nintendoland / NSMBU

The GamePad build is solid. It looks gigantic but it's light so you can use it for long periods of time without a problem. Despite its size it is comfortable - analog sticks feel great, triggers are accessible. Same as the E3 model as I can tell and even better than last year's build.

It's just fun being able to use it completely as your viewing screen. If I would compare it to a smart phone I'd say the screen more Super VGA, not nearly as contrast-y or vibrant as Super AMOLED. But the fact that it can maintain the HDTV frame rate is good.

Zelda Battle Quest was there and looked identical to the E3 build. Didn't play it this time but it was fun either wagging the controller or wielding a shield on rails and does require some strategy in the final boss fight.

Load times are fast. When the rep had to stop NSMBU and head back to the title screen and hop back into level selection there wasn't any loading at any point.

NSMBU

NSMBU looks fantastic in person. It's super smooth and cleaner than the pics and vids I saw led me to believe. I got to try out the gamepad while 4 others were playing... I accidentally screwed so many people over with my blocks, I should've just stuck to disabling enemies.

Nintendoland / Zombie U / Sonic Allstars / Darksiders2

I was at the Friday experience. I saw the majority of the games but only got to try out Mario, Pikmin, Rayman, and Zombi U. I was was very pleased with it overall.

If I had to sum up, I'd say that Nintendo game are shaping up really well. NSMBU's Boost Rush Mode is really fun and tough, I'm pretty sure a lot of people will be pleased with it. As for Nintendo Land, I loved Balloon Trip Breeze, which was challenging and fun. You basically had to go for as many balloon as possible while avoiding picks and "killing" enemies (by touching them on the zoomed view on the gamepad). The air flowing mechanics is quite good - reminded me a bit of Soul Bubbles. Overall, I really love the simple design of Nintendo Land's attractions. It has la lot of charm, everything looks like its made of wood and cloths ; you'll see dolls-like enemies in the Zelda attraction, wooden automaton in Metroid's, etc... It really is a strong launch title with a lot of content, and I might pick it up day one to play with family during Xmas.

Other games I liked were ZombiU - which improved a lot graphically since E3 -, NG3 as I already said, Rayman also but it didn't change much since last June. Also, I utterly loved Trine 2 and Nano Assault Neo, which are two must-buy in my book.

Biggest disappointment was Sonic & All Stars Racing, which was unplayable because of a sub-24 fps framerate. Other than that, all games seemed ok when compared to their current gen counterpart. Just a bit of lag in Darksiders 2 during fights, but I heard it happens also on the other consoles. A friend also told be he witnessed some lag in Tekken from time to time, but it was not the latest build : we only had access to the mushroom mode, not the Nintendo Outfits, so I guess TGS' impressions would be more accurate since they had the former and the later.

Zombie U

I'd say graphically it looks above current gen. It seems to have a silkiness to it that I have not seen on the 360 or PS3 and the character models seem like they're pushing a lot of polys. Lighting is also a step up. A great part about it is that huge areas within the game open up with no load times. The touch screen integration seemed really good. The challenge is insane and touch pad integration works very well and the Zombies are scary! Look down at your controller only to have some creeper jumping at you is really thrilling. The collision detection was vastly improved from an earlier build of the game I played. Overall, it's the title I'm looking forward to most at launch.

You'd have to see it in person. Video's and screens don't do most titles justice.

It's not ground breaking next gen stuff, it's more of a subtle enhancement over current gen.

Less jaggies, load times, a little more polys, sharper textures and more advanced lighting.

I'm blown away by the gameplay, having slightly better visuals is just the icing on the cake.

edit:
was ninja gaiden angeht:

I've been to a Wii U Experience in Frankfurt and was able to play the game, among 14 others. I have to say I was really impressed with its quality, it might be the best port of the launch window. They changed a bunch of things from what I've seen in the xbox 360 demo (which I hated), it is now hard as hell, and it is as gore as was 2, if not a bit more. Also, Ayane is really fun to play. Everything that was said about the revamping of the game by Hayashi seems real from what I've played. One of the game's I'll buy day one on the console !

kekes gabs auch

Das mi der Farbe ist in der Tat ein bißchen schwierig...

Ich hätte gerne ein Super Mario Bundle mit der Konsole.

Mein Lieblingspaket wäre aber zb. Die schwarze Konsole mit 32GB,
ohne die Ladestationen, Vertikalständer, Geräteständer
dafür aber mit Wii U Pro Controller und einem Vollpreistitel,
der nicht Nintendoland ist.

"Customize Your Kit" wäre mal ne richtig geile Sache gewesen.

[(x_x((o---(*_*Q) Duck Hunt]

Ja, ein Super Mario im Bundle wäre auch meine bevorzugte wahl. Oder eher noch Pikmin/Zombie U/The Wounderful 101. Ich weiß nicht ob Nintendoland in der Entwicklung viel günstiger war, was das verhindert. Aber für den Preis hätte man doch mehr Vielfalt anbieten können. Oder zumindestens die schwarze Wii u für knapp 300 Euro. Ich mag Farbe. Und wenn es keine ist, dann zumindestens schwarz.

[Wulgaru]

Nintendoland wird sicherlich vielen Leuten Spaß bringen, aber es ist genau wie Wii-Sports ein Demotitel der im Endeffekt nicht viel Kostenaufwand gehabt haben wird und oder eben Ausschussware von Ideen und Spielereien bei der Konzeption dieser Konsole darstellt. Natürlich für Nintendo angenehm das als Bundle anzubieten und die Sports und Resorts-Bundle geben ihnen Recht.

Für mich als Kunden....Blanko-Konsole ist so besser.

[lAmbdA]

wtf, Frankfurt? Warum weiß ich davon nichts, ist doch grad um die Ecke

Mal ne Zwischenfrage: Warum spricht man eigentlich Super Mario/Super Smash usw das Bros. eigentlich ..."bross" und nicht ..."brous" aus?

[crewmate]

wegen "Brothers".

[JesusOfCool]

wtf, Frankfurt? Warum weiß ich davon nichts, ist doch grad um die Ecke

Mal ne Zwischenfrage: Warum spricht man eigentlich Super Mario/Super Smash usw das Bros. eigentlich ..."bross" und nicht ..."brous" aus?

weil unsere muttersprache deutsch ist und nicht amerikanisch. ^^

[Wulgaru]

Man sagt doch auch im englischen nicht brouthers.

[JesusOfCool]

na, da wird das o auch wie ein a bei uns gesprochen.
bei bro spricht man es aber eher wie ein ou aus.

hab ich schon mal erwähnt, dass english eigentlich ne ziemlich beschissene sprache ist?

[Wulgaru]

Aber man sagt doch my brather und nicht my brouther. Ach egal...stimmt deutsch ist viel besser bei der Aussprache, da bekommt man erst beim schreiben Probleme.

[JesusOfCool]

ja, hab ich doch geschrieben. bei brother spricht man das o wie ein a bei uns aus und in bro spricht man das o wie ein ou bei uns aus (auch wenn es ein ou außerhalb gewisser dialekte in der deutschen sprache nicht gibt).

beim schreiben hat man da auch wesentlich weniger probleme als beim englischen. aber vor allem weiß man, wenn man was liest, wie man es ausspricht. fremdwörter ausgenommen.

[=paradoX=]

I beg to differ. You have all no speakfeeling for the language
