Nintendo Thread: Nintendo Direct Mini 03/26/2020

The more I read about this the more funnier it becomes.
If in the next two years the WII U has an emu similar to Dolphin.....SMH

The Wii has a different target audience than the 360 and PS3. 

Nintendo realized that they couldn't compete with Microsoft or Sony in the acquisition of hardcore gamers so they left that fight. 

Look at the Wii and the Wii U as more enterntainment purchases than gaming purchases. The Wii is there to be an addition to the 360 and PS3, not a substitute.

Some new Pikmin 3 gameplay footage shown by Nintendo yesterday.




Google maps and Panorama view coming to Wii U next year Q1.



They haven't announced anything about the release date on Nintendo Tvii but I'm guessing they're waiting till the system launches in Japan also.

 

[the 2nd coming]

I can't wait for pikmin 3. I'm having a lot of fun with the wii u, I've had it since launch day and I love it. Anyone else copp one

Where are u from and which stores, Walmart? I wonder if Walmarts out of my state can ship to my local Walmart or my house. Planning to pick up 1 more cause 32 gb's are scarce around the Seattle area. Just gonna resell all of em.

 

[Mcflyy]

Nintendo seems to be restocking on a pretty good rate cause when it released it was pretty much sold out but most retailers got more by black Friday.

Nintendo said that they'll be enough to go around for Christmas so I don't know how profitable the system will be, I know it won't be on Wii or PS3 levels though.

I know the resellers in Hampton Roads are having a tough time moving these. The prices on craigslist are steadily dropping. Initially, people were trying to get $500 for the deluxe model. At this point though I see them for only around $20-$50 above retail. I checked around at the gamestop stores that were close to me and 2 out of 3 had stock on both models. I almost picked one up but I grabbed a PS Vita instead for when I go back to NYC for the holidays. I'm hoping to grab one as a part of a post Christmas/New Year's sale.

Marcan released the sha-1 hash of the encryption key for the Wiiu. Took him 8 days shame Nintendo, let the homebrew begin.

 

[wawawowee]

Nintendo has a better sense of the demand for the U than the first time around for the Wii. There shouldn't be any widespread shortages.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

My cousin work at target and hooked me up with one last week, haven't opened it yet. Also, got that 20% target discount!

 

[s dubl]

been to two different targets this past week, both had one in stock each.

SoCal Antelope valley.

i like homebrew for emulators...i'm gonna check this out, thanks for the news

 

[antidope]

Hopefully they can make a N64 emulator that works. I have my 64 still but the games are so expensive

they have on for pc... hell u can emulate the wii on pc including the motion detection aspect...as it is nothing more then a plastic casing with led lights.... which you could do yourself relatively cheap.

 

[mister doitnice]

What games are you guys playing on Wii U? Picked up a deluxe from gamestop a couple days ago. I was thinking about ZombiU but the reviews are really mixed.

You failed pretty hard. These things are in stock and ready to go all around sir. No sell outs in sight

Oh, and I copped one. AND incase some of you aren't up on scene news. Wii mode has been hacked.

so essentually you can play copy etc... wii games... i guess that is good... for new nintendo users... i mean if you already had/have a wii essentially this kinda does nothng for you seeing as you 1. probably already played most of the wii games...or already have a hard/soft modded wii. And to new members what games on wii would you really wanna play... i mean nothing new worth noting is comming out... and i guess you could play older much older titles... but i think that is a very small amount of ppl. A group of ppl who on a wiiu that wasnt a previous wii owner, nor has they played any of the previous good titles on the wii...

Now if we can get it to play/hack regular wiiu... thats a win

No hacks on WiiU mode as the keys are still encrypted. Probably won't be one for quite some time.

Wii Mode is a win strictly for homebrew not piracy. Emulators etc. In fact since the cIOS still need to be rewritten, running commercial games form USB LOADERS on Wii mode is still a difficult process. BUT it is possible and will only get easier as more releases hit the scene.

If you don't wanna pick up ZombiU yet, Ubisoft is releasing a demo soon (they said before Dec. 15).
Rayman Legends also has a demo coming out tomorrow.

so essentially u can basically run i dont know if its the same but homebrew channel and play previous older system games minus the gamecube... seeing as far as i know never was really able to emulate it properly... I mean they did have some kinda work around way for the wii... havent really been playing my wii for awhile nor been up on the mod scene...

So what old systems can i play? i would think with the much improved graphics etc... you could possibly emulate the ps2 i know after all these years suprisingly the og xbox has never been successfully emulated in terms of a stable consistant working sense.

I wonder how would emulated systems and games interact with the new pad... like will the games show up on the portable screen? can you use the pad/controller to interact with older systems...

Im kinda trying to wait and see what develops with the system before i get one...(in the process of trying to build/make an ultimate gamming entertainment pc first). But still lurk on the wiihacks etc sites occasionally to try to keep up with latest developments.

Indeed I did . SMH, the Wii U's were NO WHERE to be found the first two weeks after release, especially the deluxe models. They were fetching for a hefty 475-500 on Craigslist, now these are in stock everywhere, in stores and online.

The Best Buy out here had a few of them in stock earlier today.

 

[mister doitnice]

Picked up a few games for my deluxe today: Darksiders II, Mario U, Sonic Racing, and Black Ops 2. Target, and Best Buy have some pretty good sales going on. I actually purchased a Wii U, never owning a Wii prior. There were only a few games I actually wanted to play so I got those used at gamestop. Tatsunoko vs Capcom is a gem.
