Realistically no system has that many AAA exclusives any more. If you're a big Halo or Gears of War fan you go for Xbox. If you're a big God of War fan you go Playstation. If you really enjoy Nintendo games you go Wii U. I'm a PC gamer, so the only console I'm even really interested in for the next generation is the Wii U. I know I won't get any PC games that are comparable to Nintendo's offerings. Nearly every game on the PS3 or Xbox finds its way to the PC eventually. It's a pretty simple choice, and that's coming from someone who owned every console from the last generation (Wii, 360 and PS3). As for graphics, I don't see the next gen Sony or Microsoft systems being so much exponentially better that the graphics difference matters that much. PCs are capable of some ridiculously good graphics right now, but I don't find it irritating to play PS3 or 360 games in comparison. Sure I prefer the PC with its super high res and awesome textures, but the 360 and PS3 are still very playable. Considering the Wii U is more powerful than either of those systems I think it's a non-issue.
Did you try to move the Skyward Sword save to your SD card while in the Wii menu, then put the SD card in the actual Wii and copy the save over?

This is what I am planning on trying when I get home. It's the best idea I could come up with. Just wondering if anyone on here has attempted this and had any success to ease my mind until I get back :)
I don't know if you can copy save data from the Wii U, you can try that.Sepewrath
I appreciate your reply. I know it says one-way transfer, but I suspect that they are referring to the transfer tool only going one way. I don't care about that, and I'm not interested in that. The part I quoted above is what I'm really curious about. It looks like the Wii is fully emulated within the Wii U, and if that is the case I think I ought to be able to move a normal Wii game save to the SD card in the exact same way I am able to do on a physical Wii since the emulated Wii hardware retains access to the SD card. In theory it ought to work since that functionality was built into the Wii itself (though I don't think many people knew you could do it).
Sort of odd question relating to Wii saves and the Wii U. Yesterday I bought a Wii U and ran the transfer tool and successfully brought all my game saves, virtual console data, etc etc over to my Wii U. Process was foolproof and worked well. My plan is to sell my Wii to a friend of mine. However on my drive to work this morning I realized that I have a potential problem. My friend had already started a game of Skyward Sword on my old Wii and had progressed pretty far. Is it possible to transfer just this save back to the old Wii via SD card? I know they say that the transfer is permanent and all that, but I'm guessing the main point of that is the Store items and things like that. I don't care about any of that, I just want to be able to transfer a Skyward Sword savegame via SD card from the Wii U's Wii menu to my old Wii so my friend can keep playing his game. Am I going to be out of luck? Anyone tried anything like this?
Meh. Activision is Tony Hawking the COD series big time. I give them one or two more iterations before the series falls into oblivion and they find some other burgeoning franchise to destroy.
If I were going to drop a little more money on that rig, I'd go with more RAM. Then again, I don't know what kind of graphics card you're going to be looking to upgrade to...I suppose a couple more watts there wouldn't hurt. Realistically that would probably be sufficient though.
Trying it in another computer is probably the only surefire way to tell if it is fried or not. Definitely try reseating it on your board, though. I've had that work in similar situations.
Well, I'd say dropping out the 570 and trying to roll with the onboard graphics is definitely worth a shot. You need to start eliminating possibilities, and the video card is one of the easier ones to do that with considering you have onboard VGA. Divide and conquer.
If you don't mind spending ten more dollars, the Razer DeathAdder is a very, very good mouse.

+1 I've owned or used a Razer Diamondback, a Razer Copperhead, a Razer Death Adder, a Logitech MX518, a Logitech G500, a Microsoft Sidewinder, as well as countless other less expensive mice. The DeathAdder beats all, hands down. It is certainly barebones compared to some other offerings, but I absolutely LOVE the feel of this mouse. Can't put it down.
