I'm also experiencing this issue and that quite often.

Sometimes the button and analog stick inputs don't get through anymore and, in Zelda for example, Link just runs down a cliff and nothing can stop him.

On other occasions the connection is lost entirely, and the window pops up that tells you to connect controllers.

I'm experiencing this issue with the left joycon a lot (yesterday it occurred every 5 minutes, on other days is was not as bad). The connection loss is only temporary. When it happens with the right joycon, it is only a very short (maybe a second long) problem.

That sucks quite a bit, I love to use the browser on wiiu, like right now, to check out nlife, watch youtube, and also the online streaming of German TV channels. the wiiu gamepad is ideal for these purposes imo. With the switch docked the handling would probably be awful, so it is understandable to some extent---or nintendo would have had to come up with some clever way to utilize the joycon and maybe its camera.

For playing mobile not having a browser is a bug disadvantage imo, Imean how many devices do you want to take with you?

I think it's a mistake to not include a browser

Chapeau

This is ridiculous, nothing else. What a shame.

I’m a bit disappointed by the highlights feature. I always feel the scenes that are shown are too short

I don't understand the excitement, won't buy any of these figures. It doesn't feel very natural in my eyes. I wonder if it could be a way to add "dlc" in physical form with the data stored in the figurine (they say there is no limitation in size) but that would be a partly exit from the digital route that has been taken so far.

From thebitblock's videos I've seen I thought that you could also turn around and race into the other direction

just ordered, the price is the usual 59,99 EUR by the way

Awesome, like the american direct more. Where can I get the DK tie?

Great game, own it for Dreamcast but I've never finished it, was just too scared

@Joshers744 @Ron_DelVillano couldn't you use two different sd cards to avoid this problem?

@bizcuthammer I agree with your post #27 and see this, too. The game should be 10$ or 12$ at most, including all minigames, but instead it is getting a 16-40$ price tag.

I also find it a bit problematic in view of the target audience which is not only adults. They may easily find out about how to get the lowest price out of the system but this may be very different for younger gamers.

Please mind the difference. This was not an April Fool's prank because April Fool's is not about being sarcastic but rather about canards and tricking someone.

To make Wii U stand out from the rest Gamecube games could have been released for virtual console.

If they were clever they would work on an engine that would easily allow the realisation of multiplayer features such as one player on gamepad one on tv screen. Doing this would result in much more attention and purchases imo.

When they charge 7 euros for a game that was meant to be single player charging the same 7 euros for a game that originally had multiplayer features seems a bit unfair to me. I also think that at such a price one can certainly expect some more than different button configurations and save points, especially since games are still bound to one system instead to an account and cannot be played on mobile devices either.

@Marshi I could not find another way of contacting that is why I post it here.

Lovefilm had not been available before, at least not in Germany. It is still not available in the other European countries except for the UK.

Why no news about the now available instant video service of amazon?

would be backing for sure, dream come true

To have both versions, 50hz and 60hz, has its appeal…

Hmm, isn't it so that when you have the wii vc version and buy the wiiu vc version of the game you get it for less and can keep the wii version? What if I don't have the wii version but buy the wiiu version first? Can I get the wii version for a discount as well? If not, the order of the purchases matters...

The stereoscopic 3d helped a lot to get a feeling for space in 3D Land as he puts it. I missed that feeling in 3D World...

Great article, keep up the good work. Never heard of this game before, looks fun though.

Gutes Interview!

@mch yeah good suggestion!

I'm also disappointed by the lack of (interesting) VC titles. It can't be as difficult because back in the Wii days the cataloque was growing much faster. I'm also disappointed that consumers don't get any information about why only nes games get released. I mean it is not as if the VC was not a selling point of the WiiU.

I have to admit though that without a true account system I'll always be reluctant to buy games digitally (which does not mean that I ignore this option entirely, it's just that I think ten times before actually doing it which has resulted in just buying one game in over half a year).

Lanky is my favourite, liked him best in DK64: jungle book style

Is this the PAL or NTSC version? (60Hz?)

I first couldn't believe that this works but thank you for proving me wrong.

btw., when can we expect a review for jett rocket II?

@ikki5 Believe it or not, I share my 3DS with another person and that works just fine. What would be wrong about allowing multiple ID's to be used on one system? It is possible on the WiiU so why won't it on the 3DS?

Wow, brilliant!

I'm also unsure what this really means. Is it completely impossible now to send messages to a friend?

Personally, I haven't really used the service, because I don't know anybody with a 3ds, so no "3ds friends". I would have used it otherwise, though.

Children have to be protected of course but we should really ask ourselves if this strict move makes sense. Parents should teach their children how to use something like the internet carefully because at some point or another they have to learn it anyway. Shutting a service down that only makes messaging more comfortable won't help at all.

It would only be consistent to shut down the whole streetpass feature as well. I met somebody through streetpass who used a Hitler mii greeting you know how which was unacceptable, too.

Will get this one!

Great videos!

so you do need those to get more ingame characters?

I will say this again, just don't stop to produce motion games! The Wii U has a gamepad, yes, and it is a lot of fun to use. But when there are not enough ideas for utilizing it in games, then please produce games focused on the Wii peripherals. They are still awesome and together with the better hardware and gamepad can still create wonderful experiences. Pikmin 3 showed that this is possible and I want other games to follow this direction.

Could someone tell me, please, whether it is necessary to buy any figurines or stuff other stuff additional to the game?

I would like a report on why there is such a delay with these services in Europe. Not even amazon's lovefilm works here… and no communication about the whys and whens. Man, that sucks. A missed chance for Nintendo imo.

@crazycrazydave good points and the idea of nintendo coins is really great.

What Nintendo should focus on more is their virtual console as it's stagnating I feel. Also the pricing is completely left to them without being undermined by the "competition".

Why would you kill those innocent dinosaurs?

@VideoGameDJ Thank you, I love it

I don't care about the actual rating the game has gotten, I haven't played it yet so I can't judge it anyway. I like that the reviewer tells about what has changed, the addition of the shop and ingame currency and that he starts to point out the pros and cons. However, I feel that the review is cut a bit short on the pro side and in general on a detailed description of the more interesting parts, i.e., the gameplay itself. For instance, I would have liked some more information on how the gamepad integration feels and adds to the experience as it is a unique addition and also some more about the individual modes. I just feel that a lot of the actual experience hasn't been described in here. It also sounds as if it is still possible to play silent so it seems like a bit too much bashing on that part in my opinion.
Apart from that I was really looking forward to this review and enjoyed reading, thanks!

too bad i can't listen to it on my wii u since it is only in flash ...

Although I find that the comments in the video don't say really much, I'm sure this game will be great. Some were complaining about the graphics or artstyle but I can't see the point. In my opinion the world looks way more alive now.

looks great, especially from the side. I like it although I stick to the 3D

reads more like a 10/10 imo

Stay optimistic folks!

p.s. @Thomas should be "economic" growth

That's it, Non-Specific Action-Figure is coming!

I don't own a Wii U but I like the Gamepad having a screen. It gives the gamepad a tablet feel which is a definitive improvement in my opinion. However, I would wish that Nintendo would also focus a bit more on the non-gaming features of the gamepad('s screen).

I have a Wii and a lot of games and it really stands out with its wiimote+nunchuk controls. All WiiU talk is about the gamepad, its second screen and how it's used. In my opinion that's not all of it. Give us more games that have the old Wii U control patterns, also Shooters and stuff!! The Wii controls are such a valuable asset imo.
