Topic: NWR Survey! What Wii U Games Do You Own?

[KDR_11k]

I was the first voter for Warriors Orochi, the TGS podcast talked positively about that game so I decided to give it a try and test the eShop in the same move. While that was the cheapest option (considering the 8% points back that we get with the premium Wii U, I only need to spend another 2.50€ to get my 5€ voucher) it wasn't very pleasant, took about 1.5 days to download* and with its 16GB that's half my Wii U's storage gone now. Installing took over half an hour and it wasn't even fully patched after the download. Also I only learned on the second day that that relatively loud noise the Wii U makes is the disc spinning (even though the disc game wasn't running) so I only managed to reduce the noise on the second day of downloading.

I'm holding off on Little Inferno because of the currently running Steam sale, I expect the game to appear as a daily deal at 50% off or so. Even 8% money back wouldn't make up for that.

*= Granted, I have a rather weak 3Mbit/sec connection but the Wii U left enough bandwidth to watch Youtube videos, when I try to watch those while Steam is downloading anything I won't see much other than buffering.

I downloaded the sonic racing demo in 20 min (10Mbps connection ) and like 5 min to install

The demo is 1 gigabyte. The full game of Warriors Orochi is 16 gigabytes. Dude.

So it would take Mr. Mercury about 5 hours and twenty minutes instead of 36!

Hey! I'm bumping this because my self imposed time limit is getting closer. If you have participated, fill it out! If you got some new games, refill it out! Thanks!

Mario U, Tekken Tag, Blops 2, Nintendo Land.

Come on, people! Let's get over 50 responses by the 17th!

By the way, January 17th was when I decided the launch window was over.

That doesn't jive with Nintendo.  They say its March.

Nintendo should know better than to defy ME.

I'm with ShyGuy on this one. A "launch window" shouldn't be any longer than two months. What Nintendo are thinking is bollocks - there's no way they can get me to believe that their launch window consists of a four month period. Crazy talk.

But anyway, I played a ton of Tekken Tag the other day with a visiting friend of mine. Had a blast. Brilliant game, and I can't wait to dive a bit deeper in to it - just have to finish my FIFA season currently in progress.

I find it astounding that Mario U beat out a packaged tie-in with the superior model. Crazy.

I've been holding on for assassins creed 3, but I'll pick up soon, so as mass effect 3 for multiplayer purposes.

[Mop it up]

I tipped the scale, I have New Super Mario Brothers U but I don't have a Wii U.

[ShyGuy]

Well, NintendoLand, NSMBU and ZombiU seem to be the big winners so far. Not surprising, but all good games worthy of their sales. Trine 2 is the fourth most popular, followed closely by CODBlopsII at fifth. Apparently everyone hates Sing Party. Monster Hunter is only Japan, I was hoping somebody from there would add it their list.

I'm going to make a bold statement and say that Nintendo having only two major titles at launch lead to more third party sales.

I was hoping we would have the next wave of release by January 17th, but January has been deader than the fifth year of Gamecube. At least we get The Cave today! Go buy it people! It's from the creator of Monkey Island and it is a 2D platformer adventure game.
