Topic: Wii U - e3 is over... now what?

[Kytim89]

Based the the ability to transfer games and apps from the DS to 3DS and then to the 3DS XL what can we expect when the time comes to transfer between the Wii and Wii U? What games from the Wii does everyone think that will not be able to transfer over to the Wii U? Any of the online Wii games and licensed titles (TMNT) may not be able to make it over to the Wii U (Lord help them if Monster Hunter Tri does not).

Square is NOT wearing the pants. Far from it. It's because of Square Enix that we got FFX-2, and the horrid FFXIII titles. It's because of Enix that we've gotten shitty remakes and releases over and over again instead of new content.


And last time I checked, Square's last move was The Spirits Within. I don't really think (even if they still had the creative power) they'd be able to handle a real sequel to SMRPG with Nintendo.

That is why Monolithsoft should handle developing the game.

But we weren't talking about Monolith Soft. Sure, they'd be able to do it, but it wouldn't have the famous FF references that made the first game really special, in my opinion. At best it would have a few Xenoblade references?

Nintendo confirmed at E3 that Virtual Console, WiiWare and game saves will transfer from Wii to Wii U. As happened on the DSi, I'm sure there will be some VC and WiiWare games that, at least initially, won't be transferable because of licensing issues. Basically anything made by Nintendo will be fine, and so will most other things. With DSiWare there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what wasn't eligible.

Give me new IPs.  I feel like getting a new console is when the new IPs should show up.  That's why I'm excited for ZombiU and even for Nintendo Land.

I don't need a new SMRPG at this point.  I don't think anyone at either company would do it justice at this point anyways.

This might sound strange, but I would really like to see a sequel to Disaster: Day of Crisis for the Wii U. However, unlike the original game this one would be developed by a western company (not Retro). This alone would make it much better than the original, but I really like the premise of that game. It's poorly executed design and presentation is what killed it. What I am looking for is a game with the open world gameplay of say a game like GTA IV coupled with Arkham City and graphics that push the Wii U hardware very well. Of course this will never happen, so it is relegated to my imagination.

Wow, it's sounds like you've played the original Disaster thoroughly. Or are you just parroting someone else's opinion without having played the game?

Disaster was a fantastic game and I've played through it a bunch of times. Sure, it's not your typical AAA Nintendo title, I'd compare it more to a B-grade movie. It's a lot of fun albeit a little rough around the edges. And I'd love to see a sequel.

Disaster is on my list of games to play some day.

Me too.
Once I secure a WiiU and I am fully transitioned over, I will then (and only then) consider modding my Wii so I can play an import or two. Disaster is one of them, Pandora's Tower is another. Some of the homebrew stuff Guiaullme has been talking about on RFN sound interesting too.
The Wii modding may be a mid-winter (Feb-March) 2013 project.

I don't know about any of you but I will be the first to mod my Wii U when it is available. There is no doubt in my mind that the Game pad will be used in better, more creative ways outside of gaming by the hacking community than Nintendo or any third party.

[ShyGuy]

You're probably right. You could make the WiiU a killer media center with touchscreen remote with a Linux port.

[Chozo Ghost]

But if you hack it you might lose the ability to play authorized games. But a way around that is just buy two Wii Us and have one hacked, but save the other one for legal purposes.

[Stogi]

Yeah, but I probably won't buy a legit one unless there is a sufficient reason to do so. For example, an awesome bundle or amazing color. (I'm hoping for red or gun metal)

How could we lose that ability?

Possibly Nintendo deauthorizing the system so nothing could be done online with it I guess.  You'd still be able to play single player games though that way.  So really, I have no idea what Chozo means here.

[Chozo Ghost]

I mainly mean when it comes to taking the console online and being able to access DLC, online play, and stuff like that. Microsoft and Sony are apparently able to detect if consoles have been modded/hacked and they will lock you out of being able to take it online if they catch you. I'm just saying Nintendo could do something like that. Maybe they don't do that with the Wii, but the Wii isn't really as online capable as the Wii U is going to be.

[Oblivion]

Actually, my buddy Wii was mac address banned when he used hacks online on The Conduit. Since his Wii's mac address was banned, he couldn't access online features of any Wii game.


Of course, I was able to get around that, but still. Nintendo managed to do it.

[Chozo Ghost]

Well, there you go. If they're already doing it with the Wii there's every reason to believe they will do their best to lock out hackers/modders of the Wii U as well.

[Kairon]

Yeah, If I ever do some hacking, I'm going to buy a second piece of Hardware just for those purposes.

Did you miss the part where I was able to get around it? Nintendo pretty much punished people who hacked but the only way to get the hacks happens to be the way to unban yourself.

I almost did that my my first PS3.  It got the YLOD (my fault as I had an extremely hot running piece of electronics right below it on the entertainment tower that was always on) and I bought a new PS3 Slim to replace it.  I decided to fix the old one though and thought I might just mod it to do some homebrew on it.  I ended up never doing that and it pretty much sat in a box for the longest time.  I eventually made it my system at my parents and then made it the system for my second tv. 

I'll probably mod my Wii after getting a Wii U though.  I have a friend who knows how to do it.

So those of you who want to hack your game systems, are you planning on downloading ROMs and pirated games?

An emphatic NO!!
