I'd love to get it for the WiiU simply to have another blue case in my library, but if the stuff mentioned isn't fixed then I'll get it for my 360 (and maybe even my 3DS as I don't have a portable racer yet). Anyway, do any of you WiiU version owners know if Sega has fixed the issues yet?
I did, man. I got Blue when I was about 11 or 12. Like every middle school in the country, it had taken mine by storm. To this day I remember being flabbergasted the first time I saw everybody playing the card game or linking their GameBoys to play R/B at lunch. Thing is, I went to a strict Baptist private school and eventually a rumor went around saying that Pokemon were Japanese deities or demons or some such. The parents went nuts and it was banned from my school. Due to lack of money and strict parents I ended up skipping Gen II and III (save by emulation), but then a few years ago I got a DS Lite and Diamond. Diamond is still my favorite in the series. I loved the interface (the digital watch thing in the lower screen was well designed and ridiculously convenient) and the Gen IV critters were really well designed (especially the legendary dragons). I own and have beaten Black but it feels kinda unfinished. The C-Gear thing is confusing and there doesn't seem to be much point to half the areas you unlock after you beat the game, in particular the version exclusive towns. I know the major complaint with the series is how steadfastly it refuses to change, but you have to give Nintendo credit. Very few other series would survive this long with virtually no change to the core mechanics (excluding all that EV crap and other stuff of that ilk).
Ha, I know it's against AI players. The main reason I want to give it another go is to get the basics so I at least understand how to play the game when and if I get online :) Also, League of Legends would probably result in an infinitely worse butt kicking for me since that game has been around for ages.
*scratches his beard* Still...with all the incomprehensible jargon for this game I feel like I may as well be trying to learn Cricket or some such. I think I'll try the demo's training skirmish one more time before I decide whether I'll buy or not.
I played the demo tonight and I love it, but for once I feel truly out of my depth. I love how it combines tower defense, RTS and old school hack 'n' slash action RPGs. I also know that I'm terrible. After doing the tutorials I played the training skirmish. I won, and with a 15/6 K/D spread and three towers destroyed. It wasn't so much my stats as how I played. All six of my deaths either came by Gollum or by me accidentally wandering into the range of a tower and not getting out til it was too late. This is my first ever MOBA (boy do I hope I have that term right at least) and I'm intrigued by it, but as it seems to be online only I'm gonna need some help as I'm sure the ass whippings I'd receive in this game would be akin to playing a pro Korean in StarCraft for the first time.
[QUOTE="spike6958"]1. No, GameCube games don't work on WiiU, and there is no slots for GCN controllers or memory cards. 2. Wii Remotes are used for both Wii and WiiU games, specifically ones that have multiplayer. 3. SD cards can only be used to store Wii save files and Wii Virtual Console games. Everything WiiU related is stored on either the internal Hard Drive or you can use an additional External Hard Drive with USB2.0 connection and up to 2TB storage space. Yeah, I found out about the SD card thing a while before I checked this thread. A friend wanted to help and called me with that particular detail as well as the news that it was sold out everywhere else I hadn't checked yet in my town. Sucks about the lack of GC support, 'cuz I intend to trade in my regular Wii towards the Wii U. I can pick up a GC on the cheap, though. So, that leaves my last question. Is anybody on a waiting list and do they know how long they'll be waiting/how many people are ahead of them?
I only decided to go after the Wii U in like...the last two days (yes, I know it was dumb to wait. I've been finding this out the hard way all day) and there are a few things that I'm wondering about. First, is it backwards compatible with GC games? Second, Wiimotes are only going to be compatible with Wii games, right? Third, I know it has a bigger harddrive, but can SD cards still be used for storage? Finally, for those of you who don't have one yet, are you on GameStop's waiting list and do you have idea as to how long their waiting list is right now?
