@andreoni79 Not exactly. You still need your TV connected to a cable box. TVii is more of a social network? - Where people share their thoughts about the show as its happening live. You can also participate in polls and doodle on screen shots.
@michaeldove you don't need Netflix to enjoy this app. Just a cable provider. North America is still missing DVR and TiVo functions I believe. To be honest I stopped using the TVii app after Breaking Bad ended.
Right... Let's shoot these down cause that's not highly illegal. Stealing someone's mail can cost you up to $250,000 in fines and jail time can total to around five years. Have fun with that.
@Tasartir Are you saying I dont know how to pronounce my own name? In both the Spanish and Italian pronunciation you roll the R to make a D sound. (Ma-dio)
@Traxx actually some of us do since Spanish is pretty much a second language in the US. The Spanish pronunciation is the the same as the Italian. And Mario is my middle name.
I always see Wii U ads on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim but I wish they showed more of the Wii U gamepad's features. If they could create an ad similar to the one at the E3 reveal that would have been great.
Price drops and better deals lead to better sales, which leads to more customers, which in turns leads to more developers creating content for your system. You all benefit from this.
I don't quite understand the uproar over the 2DS. This is not for you. If you have a 3DS or XL, don't worry about it. This is for younger gamers. The clam shell design was most likely removed because children tend to break them.
@Dude213 When I first bought the game I couldn't play it. I was just too terrified! My parents even considered taking it back and getting a different game. But I eventually got over my fear and completed the game - I absolutely love this game to this very day.
@cornishlee Yes, you can make individual purchases. When you click to purchase the game you want, you have a "add needed funds" option like the one on the 3DS eShop.
This is just awful. I really feel the artist just decided last minute that this was Link. There is nothing in this piece that makes me feel this is Link. Making him left handed would have been a nice start.
I bought this game and love it. Really the framerate "issue" is barely noticeable and doesn't interrupt gameplay. I find myself mostly playing on the gamepad. The visuals look stunning on the gamepad screen.
If you have never played Arkham City, pick this game game up.
I think this is a clever tactic from Nintendo to get people to set up their console to the internet. With the Wii there was a huge amount off Wii's that were not connected to WiiConnect24. Plus there is no excuse for people in 2012 to not have wifi.
After reading IGN's review I was certain I was going to get this game but after reading this review I'm a bit on the fence about it. Another thing that concerns me is that I have never played any of the games. Is it worth investing my time? If I buy this game what are the chances of seeing Kingdom Hearts III on the Wii U? This is mainly why I didnt buy Metal Gear Solid for the 3DS. The games never come to Nintendo's home console so why bother trying to play catch up?
This is very cool. Finally that programming class that I took for my Game Design degree will be put to some use. (I work as a game artist not a programmer)
@Gustoff If my memory is right I think this feature only works in the "Free Fishing Mode." Place the card on a green surface! I think that one had the best effect on the game! If you have trouble finding blue, yellow, green or red surfaces just use a t-shirt, works just as good!
@3Dangerous3Dash The patent is describing using "color to influence the game world" and then gives a few examples how it could be implemented. Its not a patent for an original game but a concept. The patent was filed in July 2011. I believe Nintendo saw potential in this feature in the AR Game and patented it. It does not necessarily have to be a major part of the game, its still the same concept and idea.
Edit: @aaronsullivan I didn't see your comment but exactly!
This is already in the AR game!! In the fishing mini game, if you place the AR card over something red it causes a rare red fish appear in the water. It does the same for blue, yellow, and green surfaces as well.
When I heard about this I was in complete shock. His comment was completely out of line. Its not just gamers who are annoyed by the comment its other game designers as well. I saw Nic from Nnooo given him a few choice words. This guy is a complete douchebag and its a shame his arrogance will certainly set back his career in the game industry. FYI he is Canadian not American.

Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Network ID Creeps Ever Closer to Being Fit for the Modern Age
@ThomasBW84 completely agree!! I really wanted that Zelda themed gamepad and it was the only option I had. :-/
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Network ID Creeps Ever Closer to Being Fit for the Modern Age
I have the new Wind Waker bundle. All I did was sync the Wind Waker gamepad to my old Wii U and sold the old gamepad with the new Wii U.

I'm curious if the sanity meter will be back since Nintendo owns that patent.

If an average Wii U game is only 3GB, a 2TB external USB HDD can store about 682 games. It could even hold 81 25GB games.
