    Wii U

    Nope, the games are sadly tied to the console right now. They are slowly moving everything to a single account you use for digital purchases and I assume they will make games tied to that account eventually.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)

    I really liked the end scene with Link putting the Master Sword back in the pedestal - I guess that's why it's always for the next hero. Great game - might be my new favorite Zelda, Windwaker is bumped to #2.

    2013 NFL Season

    The media killed any chance of Tebow being on an NFL team. He may have eventually switched to another position and been able to contribute to a team, but the media circus he creates isn't worth it for most teams.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You're wrong, the graphics engine was totally re-done. If you are looking at screenshots from FF14 1.0 then yeah. The style may not be everyone's cup of tea but they are definitely this generation graphics and because of the PS3 optimization it runs smooth as silk at 100 FPS even on 3 year...

    2013 NFL Season

    Garrett and Romo, supposedly. In a perfect world they would love to use 2 TE sets all the time but it hasn't really panned out that way because of their protection issues. I think Escobar could turn out well if he was able to just catch passes but since he is a shit blocker and Cowboys need TEs...

    NBA 2013?14 Season

    Dirk is about to take a paycut down to $10m/year or maybe even 5 - which means the Mavs will have some huge money this offseason with Marion coming off the books, too. Dirk wants to be the 3rd or 4th best player going into his last years. Who knows if they will get anyone but there are some big...

    2013 NFL Season

    Picking Manziel in the 20s sounds like something Jerry would do to grab some headlines. Thankfully it seems like Garrett has most of the control in the draft room these days, even if Jerry still makes the phonecall.

    The new Gen has started: Where do you stand?

    Not true - as I said in another thread, Nintendo is like Apple. They build the hardware to fit the games they want to make, not the other way around. This includes motion controls, dual screens, etc - new ways to interact with new games they wanted to make. They also adhere to having a...

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)

    Eiji Aonuma says the Wii U Zelda will be more open world like Skyrim than past Zelda games. Some of the new ideas they have implemented in this game (non linear dungeons, item renting) may be them testing and gauging player feedback for the new Wii U Zelda also.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I think it comes down to using ESRAM + DDR4 vs DDR5 (what PS4 uses) - at the time MS made that decision they probably thought it was a good one but the cost of DDR5 has dropped considerably. A weird thing about RAM prices is when a new tech comes out the old one usually stays the same price...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Someone did a teardown of both consoles to estimate the costs:Microsoft's Xbox One Costs $90 More to Build Than Sony's PS4 - Arik Hesseldahl - News - AllThingsD TLDR PS4 costs $381 and XB1 costs $471 (plus $75 for Kinect?) - so neither really spent much above what they are selling it for...

    Wii U Advice ( yeah I went there )

    If you never had a Wii and like JRPGs, there is some great games to play on the Wii U, Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story specifically. Using the Gamepad to watch Netflix/Twitch (on the Internet Browser, which is by far the best console browser) with headphones while someone else is...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The game is trash but I honestly don't care that is doesn't have super awesome graphics. No one should really care about graphics as long as the gameplay is good - it's all that really matters for an MMO when you get right down to it.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This game has been in development for so long, too. I was hearing rumors about Zenimax Online making an MMO at least 5 years ago. TES just doesn't translate to an MMO - it feels less epic when there are 30 clones running through the same dungeon as you. They nailed the terrible combat from...

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)

    So this game is fucking awesome. Play it with headphones because the music is AMAZING and the 3DS speakers don't do it justice. It also plays at 60 FPS, which I can't ever remember for a handheld game but it's smooth as butter. There is some shit they really need to use in the new Zelda's...

    Who cares, as long as he plays every game like he has for his entire career. Why does one team always have to win a trade? It filled holes and solved issues for both teams.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Yeah the new Zelda looks great with 3D turned on, but most non Nintendo developers don't put any effort into making it look good. I still don't use it though because one fidget while playing totally breaks your concentration.

    Xbox's UI is just more Metro shit, which I'm frankly tired of already as a design and interface concept. Squares suck! I want a clean, functional, and most importantly minimalistic UI - not shit snapped and pinned every where.

    Questions about Wii & Wii U.

    It's not that bad, just have to have both systems on wifi - took about 30 minutes to transfer once it got started. They are slowly starting to centralize their Nintendo account systems (soon both 3DS and Wii U will use the same accounts and digital funds), which means its only a matter of...

    Questions about Wii & Wii U.

    You can play most (all?) Wii games straight on the Gamepad as well. Although I thought the 1080p upscaled version of Xenoblade Chronicles and Last Story on the Wii U looked much better than the 480p on the Wii - although the textures still look terrible the resolution increase made the menus...

    ~50-56c under load for the PS4 isn't bad as long as it's getting the heat out of the system. No noticeable rise in temperature after the initial 30 minutes of operation. The Xbox One has a pretty beastly fan (and the case had to be larger because of it) - it will probably run cooler than it...

    Questions about Wii & Wii U.

    It's not as tall as the Wii, because it's not angled like the Wii. The stand itself is also not as tall, it's merely some little feet thingies you slide on. TLDR - the Wii U vertically can fit in the same place a Wii does.

    When I went to the Gamestop closest to me last night to get the new Mario and Zelda, there was literally 11 people there at midnight for the Xbox. Compared to last week the same shop had at least 80-90 people for PS4s. Circumstantial and all, small Gamestop in a North Dallas suburb. No shit...

    If you have a Wii with Wiimote Pluses you don't need anything additional, you can use those on the Wii U. Otherwise you'll need at least 1 Wiimote Plus controller. The Mario Bundle comes with New Super Mario Bros U (plus Luigi DLC), which is the classic 2D sidescrolling platformer Mario - it...

    Yeah the new Donkey Kong from Retro got delayed from Christmas to early 2014. I'd say there are 6 really good to great games out for the Wii U in time for Black Friday/Xmas - then you have Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart, Smash Bros., and new Monolithsoft game X all coming.

    Windwaker HD is worth it even if you have played it before, since it's the 2nd best Zelda game ever (After A Link to the Past, no not OoT!) - they removed 90% of the tedious parts and the game looks amazing on the Wii U. Also I doubt it will ever hit $20 bucks - Nintendo first party games hardly...
