AWKWARD ZOMBIE

All of my haaaaaaaaaatttteeeeee

Ubi Soft why
Pokemon X & Y and GTA V come out at like the same time

Because clearly the thing that they had said was going to be a Wii U exclusive and which made EXTENSIVE use of the gamepad's unique features just HAD to be ported over to the other systems and adapted/edited entirely to support conventional controllers.

And because of Microsoft's policy of not allowing for any multiplat titles to go on other consoles first, the Wii U version had to be delayed.
This is of course despite the fact that it is completed and ready for market.

Yeah, what a terrible choice.

It's not like they have completely different markets or anything.

LOOK AT THIS REALLY AWESOME GAME EVERYONE WANTS THAT MAKES LOTS OF USE OF THIS CONTROLLER WITH A GIGANTIC SCREEN ON IT THAT NO OTHER CONSOLES HAVE

LET'S PORT IT TO OTHER CONSOLES

I still have no idea how they're going to work that out.

Is it going to be some awkward control stick thing? Or are they just going to cut out the Murphy sections altogether and have the game only be like 2/3 the length?

Also why did they do absolutely fucking nothing when Michael Ancel and most of the development team protested against the delay

I've a question for those of you who have done the Wii to WiiU conversion.

Is it possible to transfer the games I've downloaded from the Wii's Virtual Console onto the WiiU?

Yiss.
You just have to redownload them from the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii Menu.

Also, for some reason, they don't work if they were on the SD card to begin with, and you redownload them to the SD card. Maybe it's just my Wii U.

You just download them again on the wii menu.

It's a bit cumbersome, but it works.

Would I be able to put the games on SD cards and transfer them that way? I'm just seeing that I need to have both systems simultaneously to do the transfer. I was actually planning on trading in the Wii in order to help get the WiiU.

You need both systems to do the transfer, yeah.

Hmmm... Well that complicates matters. Thanks for the help guys.

In addition, make sure all of your save data is on the Wii, not on an SD card. The transfer takes care of your purchase history in the Wii Shop Channel and all save data in the system, but stuff on the SD card won't work. Also, if you want a faster transfer, delete any Virtual Console or WiiWare games off of the Wii system, though really, it'll take about as long later to redownload them, so it's your call.

You need both systems at once because you initiate the transfer with the Wii U, then do the actual transfer with the Wii, and finally plug all of the data back into the Wii U, so you can't just have everything sitting in the SD card ready for putting into your new system.

Also, keep in mind, the transfer will send EVERYTHING over, there's no picking and choosing, so if you enjoy playing Brawl with your Gamecube controllers, might want to hold off, or else you'll need to get used to the other methods of playing.



Frankly, after Ubi's plans for the 3DS dried up a few months after it launched, I really didn't believe they would keep their word or their support with Wii U, and unsurprisingly, that's exactly what happened.

I'm not sure they realize that consoles need good games to make sales, and that maybe providing good games for the console will help achieve both.

Then again, I'm also a bit miffed that Nintendo has delayed Pikmin 3 repeatedly, and we still don't have a solid release date. Considering it was supposed to be a launch window date and now it's looking to drop at least after E3 is a bit worrying. Nintendo's got to push consoles this fall, and if they can't even get a launch game out without a 6 month delay, what's the hope of getting a Mario Kart or 3D Mario by Christmas?

Granted, I know the delays are because Miyamoto's picky as hell and wants the game to be polished like a dime, but him and Sakurai need to loosen up a bit, or be a little more serious about deadline and release announcements.

The other thing that might help Nintendo this Gen is becoming a bigger force in publishing third party games, like they're doing with Bayonetta 2. This gives them the exclusives without exhausting their teams that are working on their other games, and would help bulk up the library and curb dry spells. Hell, they could even do what they did with Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart and just hand some IPs over to third parties to help make games.

In any case, this is going to be an interesting next few years.

aw shit
