    Wii U

    However, the Wiimotes (black, labeled Wii U on their box) do work with regular Wii games.

    Wii X? I already bought a Wii U based ENTIRELY on this thread. I had 100% zero interest in it prior to reading this thread for as long as I have. PS - Thanks for spending my money.

    but but... I found a site called "100% real PS3 emulator for ANY pc, even a 486". I bet it's legit and not viruses.

    I have the hardest time imagining how a nameless foreign shop owner in LA ascended the ranks of the Iranian government and is about to be placed in the head leadership position. All this after accidentally ALMOST killing a security company installer's daughter. Thank god she had her invisible...

    For the PS3? Of course there is. They wanted to keep the consoles pricing lower, and they can't really emulate PS3. It needs a whole set of hardware, and adding that to the console is $$ (similar to how early PS3's had hardware for disk versions of PS1 and 2 games which was eliminated in...

    Gran Turismo 6.

    It's like this. These descriptions aren't 100% accurate, but they give the basic idea. A player of GT6 is browsing the PlayStation Store looking for the new DLC on GT6 and happen to see that you can buy credits for in-game currency. vs. A player just comes in first in a Forza 5 race and it...

    Looks like PS4 has sold 66% more units in the US (1.25 million) than Xbox One. I completely lost at our contest. US PS4 November sales estimated at 1.25m units, 66% ahead of Xbox One | Games industry news | MCV

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    The Aeons (Espers) in XII were great. I'm pretty sure the final fight I did in that game was beating the 12th Esper. I could be wrong, but it was after the credits deep in a cave. I remember beating it at least, and it was a real motherfucker of a fight.

    Wii U

    Question about the Wii U's graphics playing standard Wii games.. Do both systems play the original Wii games 100% identical? It really seems that my original Wii with component (HD) video looks better than the same game on Wiii U's HDMI cable. Maybe it's that Wii U is only emulating the Wii...

    Gran Turismo 6.

    I bought this on Friday (anniversary edition) but haven't opened it yet. I've realized that I have a fairly large backlog of games and trying to do 100% in all of them takes WAY too much time. So now I'm going through my old games that I've previously never played, just to give them a once...

    So it seems that a lot of Xbros are really mad at Halo studios (Bungie). It seems that this go around, Destiny (their new game) is going to have permanent PS4 exclusives that will NEVER be available on the Xbone or 360. Bungie : Group : Posts They're also doing the world premier of...

    So, just need to do a quick derail. What ever became of EverQuest Next? I know a lot of us were all in during the opening announcement with that sand art bullshit, but what else has come out as far as the game is concerned? I don't want to read the 1000+ page post about it in the other...

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I had an email today from Amazon. Looks like Final Fantasy XV is scheduled for release in 2014. They gave me a place holder delivery date of December 31st, 2014. They gave me the same date for Kingdom Hearts III. Good deal.

    Wii U

    See, I liked Mario Galaxy because the Wii Controllers made it a fun and unique situation. Plus, you only flick your wrist a little bit. It's hardly like the old commercials where it looked like people were doing Tae-Bo to use the system. Anyway, here's a rundown of my savings on the Wii...

    Ok, but can't you use the wiimote & nunchuk for most things? Similar to the regular Wii, that is.

    Wii U

    Here's my update. I had to call 8 targets in my area before one finally had a Wii u. I just picked it up. Only a 23 mile drive from my house. Picked it up and 2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks. Had 3 $100 gift cards. Total out of pocket was $62.84. Good deal.

    If amazon doesn't have a definite time frame, they grasp at the closest thing they have. In this case, they know Witcher is Coming in 2014, so the last possible day that would be is December 31st. It's a place holder date. If you look up Watch Dogs, it's June 30th. That's because it is...

    Wii U

    So, aside from the new Wii U controller & nunchuck, are there any "must have" accessories? I don't care about a mic or headset, as I'm not planning on doing any online gaming with this system. I'm also not going to get Super Smash Brothers, Call of Duty or Mario Cart, so I don't know if the...

    My target gift cards come in today. Armed with those and the $30% off coupon, I'll arrive home today with a Wii U, some extra controllers and some other shit. Good times ahead.

    It was a different episode. I laughed at Princess Kenny splatting on the sidewalk. I know that he used to die all the time, but wasn't expecting it for this episode. I've also realized that I really am a PlayStation fanatic. I was angry that they declared Xbone the winner, when I guess...

    I think this really started in World of Warcraft. They started to introduce purchased pets and mounts... that spelled the end and lots of other games have adopted it since then.

    Here you go: Eurogamer's Martin Robinson has been playing the game and he says GT6's economy works exactly the same as GT5's, with progression, payouts and car prices very similar. You are gifted cars as before, credits are as easy to come by as always, and you are never prompted to buy credits.

    Why It Matters That PS4 Games Are Higher-Resolution Than Xbox One This GIF isn't a good example of the quote below. I personally like the darker look than the lighter one. It seems more realistic, IMHO. It's also very poor quality for both versions.

    He didn't become my scout master until I first joined boy scouts. I was in cub scouts prior to that, and it was a different "group". When you went from cub scouts to boy scouts, you had different troop numbers to choose, and I went with the one that seemed more fun at the time. Realistically...

    I didn't "idolize" him, but I've always defended him in the past. When the priest touching boys scaldal(s) first started, people would comment about how a Scout Leader is really no different. I mean, they don't even have kids of their own, why the fuck are they involved with them? I ALWAYS...
