@sidar: Actually, Miiverse has displayed the capability to video-chat using the GamePad, so it'll most likely be able to be done while gaming.
Besides, nobody's going to hold the GamePad under their chin when it has a screen they need to use.
• Wireless 30 ft. range
• Built-in rumble feature
• Built-in rechargeable battery that’s charged via a USB cable connected to the console.
Hardly sounds like "cheap hardware" if you ask me, especially with its similarities to the Xbox 360 pad. Just sayin'.
They haven't commented on whether or not you can use a wireless headset yet - and seeing as the Wii U supports wireless controllers, it should have the capacity for a wireless headset (probably a first-party item released later down the line, maybe). Or a Pro Controller with a jack, whichever's more productive.
I'm quite surprised you can't make use of the GamePad's microphone and speakers though.
They didn't know who he was. He was just interviewed by chance, because he was affected by the airport incident. You'd be surprised how many people can't put the face to the Mario voice.
Pokémon aren't comparable to real-life animals. The game is set in a fictional universe where these creatures are willing and enjoy being trained by their trainers and dueling against rivals, as it forms a closer bond between them. That's how it works in Pokémon - they're not being coerced.
Besides, a prominent theme in Pokémon is to love and care for all creatures equally and amiably. I had this drilled into my head a thousand times when I first pl...
You're only the 236th website to come to this analogy.
In all seriousness, I think this will be fixed in the upcoming gen, especially with the things a host of developers have been saying recently. It doesn't pose good for them on this angle.
"Call of Duty Elite will not launch with Black Ops 2 on Wii U."
It says "will not launch". It didn't say it'd never come. The Wii U'll probably get it as a free DLC pack within a few months of launch, seeing as it should've been included on-disk.
To me, Activision just seems to be everywhere right now. The Wii U port was essentially the last one developed, and it seems as though timing has just b*tch-slapped Activision all ...
No idea, to be honest. I think gender is less of an issue in gaming than it's blown out to be, but in some respects, sexism is still pretty prevalent in the industry. In games and tournaments, especially.
Not many people can decipher that fact that I'm a girl (alongside my deceptive username), and I don't exactly put it out there either. Not that I'm hiding or anything, but it's not exactly like being a girl playing a game is a big deal. It doesn't nee...
It's amusing how most of you here haven't figured out how much of an obvious act LX-General-Kaos really is. It makes my day seeing him get to all of you so easily.
Oh, I do agree it was a bit silly of him to not back up his files, especially with the unexpected unstability HDD drives are still succeptible to nowadays.
But to call him a moron? How immature.
Eventually, but I can't see it happening in at least 5 - 10 years. Consoles, the PS3 and 360 in particular, are still highly succeptible to hardware failures and going fully digital is still a potential risk. Tying all retail downloads purchased to an account system is the most probable solution of course, but you can't tie saves to an account - we'd have to mandatorily accept cloud saves to solve that, and we still have internet connection and bandwith issues to an extent today. ...
I don't understand how such a controversial issue has any place in gaming, nor how it has any relevance whatsoever to this.
Gamers are global, and thus we're diverse - age, race, sexual orientation, who gives a bloody flip? We're gamers, and we bond over one thing - games. We don't need any unnecessary ostracism in this particular industry over a completely irrelevant political topic, thank you very much.
I doubt reading a review with zero punctuation is going to be very easy.
Ba-dum tish.
Really? Gamers playing a variety of consoles nowadays is "telling"? Well, I might as well join the bandwagon and say that Sony and Microsoft coming up with their own version of motion controls is very "telling" as well.
One of the most renowned Nintendo video-game designers is a "moron" now, because he was succeptible to a hardware failure?
Well, it looks like we have two now, don't we?
Smartphones & tablets do have the potential to become prominent gaming devices among a larger community (look at all the good handheld/console ports on there - World of Goo and BIT.TRIP BEAT are beautiful on tablets), but the reason they haven't is mostly on the part of the platform itself. For every genius game you see on the iOS/Android store, you have a hundred more crap $1 timewasters and blatant console rip-offs - that's why the mainstream gaming consumer based is rendered ni...
They are also adopting an account system alongside friend codes - that's what Nintendo Network is for. One Wii U can store up to 12 accounts.
Fanboy? Whoa, N4G phenomenon alert.
I've never touched a Call of Duty game nor have I ever taken a genuine interest in the series up until now. I'm lying? I didn't know an opinion could be considered a truth or a lie. I'm representing my own perspective here, and I don't see myself pushing it on to anybody else. I just said what I think about the game, and I alone - agree or disagree, it doesn't even matter. These so-called "haters" can stick...
This seems to be the most innovative Call of Duty title to date. I like the futuristic spin they've taken on the series, and not left it just as yet another upscaled, generic military shooter.
Looking forward to trying this out on Wii U.
No. Ouya is an evolved concept of mobile gaming that is meant to diminish the problem of our set of gamers being rendered niche on mobile platforms, as well as opening a more expansive console to developers.
With astounding portability (it's the size of a Rubik's Cube), a music player, better controls and thirty-minute game demos available as well as the console being open-source, it opens the prospects of mobile platform gaming being matured and catering to a wide...
