I don't have a Wii U yet (financial reasons), but I would be shocked if the manuals don't mention that games are tied to the system.

Can someone with a Wii U look this up and check to see if he's right? I'd like to know if Nintendo ever mentions this when transferring from the Wii to the Wii U.

Either way it's a horrible policy.

According to the online manual (http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/wiiu_operations_manual_en.pdf), Nintendo says you should call them rather than return your system to the retailer. Every Nintendo system I have owned says the same thing in the physical manual. So that right there indicates that he should have not returned it since Nintendo told him ahead of time not to (he chose to not read the manual, so it's his fault). Specifically, page 53 of the manual says

"If your Wii U system still does not operate correctly after trying the troubleshooting steps, DO
NOT return the console to the store. You may lose saved game data, Nintendo eShop downloads, and any balance left in your Nintendo eShop account. For assistance and additional
troubleshooting and repair options visit support.nintendo.com, or call 1-800-255-3700."

I applaud you doing the research and citing a credible source TJ Spyke. Though I do have to say it is interesting in the manual that it shows you how to replace the battery on the Gamepad, Pro Controller, and Wii U. I was wondering what that little screw on the back was for. I'm surprised its for a little watch style battery. Normally those are just on the board.

Most people don't read the manual though, at least not in depth, and certainly not in its entirety.

That guy may have made a bad move, but it's one I can see a lot of people doing. Especially when they want something that works now.

So it looks like Resident Evil Revelations for the Wii U will include off tv play as well as support for the pro controller for those who want that.

Quote

What will be of most interest is that the game will support off-TV play and using the Wii U Pro Controller, with the Wii U GamePad allowing quick inventory changes and access to multi-level 3D maps.

“There’s a joke going around in Japan at the moment about using Off TV Play to play your Wii U games on the Bullet Train, as long as you get on of the seats with a power outlet, so we wanted to make sure Bullet Train play was possible with Revelations,” jests producer Tsukasa Takenaka.

He adds, “I wouldn’t want to be so presumptuous as to say that everyone will enjoy one version more than another, but there are definitely features in the Nintendo Wii U version that are not found on other consoles.”

Also looks like they are truly upgrading it and not just upping the resolution

Quote

Takenaka is keen to assure fans that this isn’t just an upscaled port either, with the graphics engine having been written specifically for Nintendo’s new console according to the magazine.

“He continues, “All of the lighting effects and filters have been rebuilt from the ground up, which improves the general quality of the environments. If you’ve played the 3DS version, the difference should be apparent in the first 10 minutes of the game.”

I'm a bit more excited for it now.

The only downside to all that is that the online play won't be compatible with the 3DS version.

That's the real downside, until it gets confirmed at least.

You still have to download those games, which is what I said.

No, you don't have to do anything. Downloading will start by itself. Guy will just turn on xbox, play some games, and after a while games will "magically" appear on his system.

Quote from: TJ Spyke on February 11, 2013, 05:01:10 PM

it's not as bad as you are saying

Yes, it's is. The amount of clicks to download one game is very big. And that's in case you're not buying it, just redownloading.

Quote from: TJ Spyke on February 11, 2013, 05:01:10 PM

(and it's not easy to accidentally cancel your download).

Yes it is very easy to cancel it.

Maybe you should refresh Wii Shop's interface in your memory and try it again, you will see what i am talking about.

Bottom line - it's a stupid policy, whether it's in the manual or not. It doesn't make anyone a moron for assuming Nintendo would have a 21st century system for restoring their purchased games. Have an iPhone or Android phone? Ever bought a new one? It doesn't even have to be the same brand, just sign into your Gmail account and all of your stuff comes back - without you having to do anything. Same thing with Steam, and you don't have to buy a $350 console from Valve.

^^ exactly

EasyCure · « **Reply #5562 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:06:28 PM »

TJ TJ TJ... you're both right.

A. Nintendo should have the games tied to an account so **** like this doesn't happen.
B. (assuming this wasn't his first console ever and assuming he's at least heard of Nintendo's awesome customer service) He should of called them first.

Both parties are moronic when you look at it that way.

ThePerm · « **Reply #5563 on:** February 11, 2013, 10:46:58 PM »

what easycure said. Go to Nintendo first, but Nintendo still needs to get some of its **** together.

That's Ancel and Ubisoft Monpellier developers protesting.

Wow. That takes some balls.

From NintenDaan's Twitter
"Release Rayman. Support Ubisoft Montpelier." Is what it says, translated in the Article.

Good for Ancel! I have to say Ubisoft over the years really like to mess with Rayman.

They do need to release Rayman. Then Ancel can get back to working on Beyond Good & Evil 2.

New Batman Arkham Game announced and probably hitting the Wii U. Isn't being developed by Rocks ready so be warned.

Probably and hopefully won't have the joker even though he's been so awesome lately.
