etempest 12145 cr points Send Message: 35 / M / Ohio Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 12/8/12, edited 12/8/12 I was given one my Christmas gifts early, Wii U Deluxe and just wanted to give you my first impressions. I hope a crunchy roll apps is made. Positives Control Pad is really nice, fits nicely in hands, very versatile. Range impressed me. Nintendo Land is pretty fun / designed to show a lot of different ways you can interact using the new control pad. Wii --> Wii U Transfer tool animation is awesome. Miiverse when commenting on games mark if you actually played the game your commenting on. Negatives Initial System Update - 1 hr to download and install. Unable to use Wii U Controllers (Pad, Classic Pro) on Wii. No up-scaling of Wii games. Observations Wii Store is different from Wii U store. Wii store still uses points, Wii U is strait $.$$ charge. Miiverse - A lot of good art using the draw function (vs texts) pretty impressive for posts. Thing's I had to research How to do Wii -> Wii U transfer of store content.

The only games I ever bought for it were original Nintendo games and the casual Harvest Moon franchise that's actually (oops) meant for 5+. (Can't help myself, they're so cute!) But yeah, can't say that I know too much about it either, but the whole thing about the 2 screens seems pretty distracting to me. I remember they tried to do something vaguely familiar with the old Gamecube by hooking it up to your Nintendo Gameboy and you could play the game via Gameboy. It was literally the most distracting thing. EVER. Like you just didn't know what to stare at.
