@LordJumpMad Wii U is not hacked. And he's not a hacker in the sense that he's trying to steal people's info. He just measured the Wii U's clock speeds.
Guys, before you freak out, keep in mind that ghz doesn't mean nearly as much as it did ten years ago. It's more about the architecture, how well stuff is utilized, other factors like that. Please don't assumed Ninty is DOOMEDDED OMG just because you think the Wii U has a slow CPU, when in reality we know nothing about the architecture. Wait til we get more info.
Who cares? It was a lazy port, the developers originally made it for platforms that were more CPU oriented. The Wii U is more reliant on the GPU, for more than just graphics. Wait for people who actually know what they're doing to make games.
@WiiLovePeace Not at all. I play mostly for gameplay though. Stories don't mean much to me. And the gameplay is really great. Feels awesome to get four satellites and arrange em to shoot in whatever direction you want. Line em all up for a powerful, concetrated beam, spread em out for a shotgun-like effect for clearing crowds, or just make em shoot in all different directions for the hell of it.
@Manfred Thanks for posting here! Also, any way you guys could patch in online multiplayer? Or DLC? Or make a sequel? I want more Nano Assault. Also, when Nano Assault EX coming out?
Also, this game is really tough at first but you get better at it really quickly. I play it in bed a lot. Be sure to try the multiplayer as well, it's really fun.
Good review. Also note that the leaderboards are messed up, it only shows the last 2 digits (goes from 98 to 99 to 01 to 02 etc), so you may think you're 21st on a leaderboard but could very well be 621st
@aaronsullivan The reason I hate Origin and not Steam is because it's slower, more annoying, more intrusive, always wants to be open. I don't mind DRM, my PC is always connected to the internet, so it's a non-issue. But have you used Origin? Have you tried out battlelog? None of these bad factors are caused by the fact that I hate EA. They just make me hate EA more. Ever tried contacting EA's customer support?
That woulda been cool. Baldur's Gate on GBA was fun, so this would have worked as well. And please keep Diablo off of 3DS. Or any platform for that matter, that ship has sailed, Diablo clones such as Torchlight and Path Of Exile do it much better than Blizzard nowadays.
@19Robb92 looks kinda low-poly. And the shadows aren't too great. But hey, it's a port. And it's monster hunter, only prettier. I'll play the hell out of it.
How is it compared to the Classic Controller Pro? I loved that, it was so light and the buttons were awesome, the only thing that sucked was the D-pad.
Fake. The trailer just shows the screenshots that are on the website. Or the scene the screenshots are taken from. I'd say someone made a dialog scene and a battle scene in RPG Maker and put up that website.
I've always loved Capcom. Great childhood memories of Mega Man X and Street Fighter 2. And I still liked them through all the on-disc DLC and the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3. But it's getting hard to still like them when they never do anything positive for us in the west.

Re: Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and GPU Speeds
@DrSlump Nintendo's been using PowerPC 750-line CPUs since the GameCube, but this time the clock speed is double and the cores are tripled.

Re: Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and GPU Speeds
@DrSlump Depends on a buncha factors actually, I was just making an example.
Re: Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and GPU Speeds
For example, an i5 running at 3.2 ghz will absolutely eat an Athlon running at 3.2 ghz

Re: Iwata: We Don't Want To Emulate Xbox Live and PSN
I think Miiverse is loads better than XBL or PSN
Re: Rumour: Yoshi's Land Coming To Wii U
I sure hope it's real. Yoshi's Island style
Re: Wii U GamePad Offers Nine-Axis Controls
I love the 'Pad's motion sensing. It's so accurate.

Re: Review: Nano Assault Neo (Wii U eShop)
@WiiLovePeace The ship's about as fast as enemy projectiles. I think it's a good speed.
Re: Review: Nano Assault Neo (Wii U eShop)
@Manfred Good deal. Any word on a price?

Terrible app. Stick to the browser.

Re: Review: ZombiU (Wii U)
Reading the ZombiU Miiverse community, it seems like people really like this game. It makes me want it more than any review.
Re: THQ Enters Forebearance Agreement With Creditors
I used to hate THQ but they've published quite a few good games on PC. On consoles I dislike them but not on PC
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
What's the front SD slot used for on a Wii U anyway? Game saves or pictures and music or somethin'?
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
@KneehighPark Yeah, that'd work.
@19Robb92 In this day and age, I'd sure hope so.
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
@19Robb92 SD card means device in the SD slot. An SD card in an SD to USB adapter acts exactly the same as a flash drive.
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
And this wasn't obvious to everyone in the beginning?
Re: Reggie Surprises Nintendo World Store Campers 24 Hours Before Wii U Launch
That was really cool of him. Puts a smile on me face.
Re: Guess What? Wii U Discs Have A Rounded Edge
@TheRealThanos I think you're confusing Gb with GB

@SteveW I think you're maybe confusing GiB with GB
Re: Guess What? Wii U Discs Have A Rounded Edge
DVDs are 4.7GB, not 4.5
Re: Wii U Has "Plenty Of Power" According To Team Ninja
This scares me. The PS360 is incredibly underpowered, I hope the Wii U isn't just "right up there" with it. For the price, it better be way better.

Re: The Wii U Nintendo Network Will Connect to EA's Origin
When will EA realize Origin sucks? The only reason people use it is because they have to. Steam is superior in every way.

Cool, I'll probably pick one up from there. Hope my employee discount works for preorders

Re: Archos Uses Star Fox And Mario To Demo Its Console-Killing Tablet
How is this news? Stuff like this has been around forever
Re: Blizzard Was Working On Diablo For The Game Boy Color
That woulda been cool. Baldur's Gate on GBA was fun, so this would have worked as well. And please keep Diablo off of 3DS. Or any platform for that matter, that ship has sailed, Diablo clones such as Torchlight and Path Of Exile do it much better than Blizzard nowadays.

Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Will Run At 1080p on Wii U
@19Robb92 looks kinda low-poly. And the shadows aren't too great. But hey, it's a port. And it's monster hunter, only prettier. I'll play the hell out of it.
Re: Check Out Some Mario Facts in This Video
Egoraptor is awesome
Re: First Impressions: Wii U Pro Controller
How is it compared to the Classic Controller Pro? I loved that, it was so light and the buttons were awesome, the only thing that sucked was the D-pad.
Re: Rumour: Death's Apprentice Heading to Wii U in, wait for it... 2015
Fake. The trailer just shows the screenshots that are on the website. Or the scene the screenshots are taken from. I'd say someone made a dialog scene and a battle scene in RPG Maker and put up that website.
Re: Expect More Conduit News Before The End of 2012
I recently found out they made the Lego Racing game on N64. I loved that game.
