I wild dog bit my ressurected calf.  A dingo if you will.

I caught it today drinking by the closest dam.  One of my other calves has a bite mark too.

Time to start strategizing.

BURBANK, Calif. – October 17, 2012 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announces that its highly anticipated Scribblenauts Unlimited game will feature even more than ever before, with Nintendo themed bonus content. Players can summon dozens of their favorite characters and items from the Mario™ and Legend of Zelda™ franchises exclusively in the Wii U™ version of the game.





Players will delight in producing fantastical and sometimes hilarious interactions between the Mario and Legend of Zelda characters and objects, alongside everyone’s favorite word-wielding Scribblenauts adventurer, Maxwell. Discovered Nintendo characters and objects will behave in the fun and fantastical ways they do in their respective game worlds.





Scribblenauts Unlimited expands upon the best-selling, award-winning video game franchise that challenges players to imagine anything and bring it to life in the game. This latest Scribblenauts installment will feature a huge side-scrolling open world with new, high-definition hand-drawn scenery and objects where players can help Maxwell solve robust puzzles and challenges by creating any object they can imagine.




Created and developed by 5TH Cell, Scribblenauts Unlimited will include all-new features, more exploration and a completely original gaming experience for the Wii U system, Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and PC this November.

-------------------------------------

Remember how Nintendo stopped the press from taking pics of the back of the Wii U? Well this is the back of a demo unit in store:

What is all that junk?

To be fair no Wii  U games are selling yet , because they are not out yet. This is based on presale info. So really it's not the whole story yet. Plus A few  of those games have been out a long time of course the Wii U version is selling better now . wink

Ok I was responding to your words, now I realize  your were  kidding in  that dry sort of British humor with the how about no comment.  Excuse my density. For some reason I read it as they were  out selling the other versions while still at a higher  price point, while clearly you never stated that except for some fictional point  in my brain sorry.

No probs. I was saying "how about no" in that they should not be charging us more.

It's bad enough with our exchange rate, the premium Wii U is 300.00 GBP = 483.33 USD

You guys pay $300? We're used to getting shafted in the UK but seeing the same games on other systems at lower prices is a kick in the groin too far.

Ok I know  the long white double plug is Wii  U controller wired, I see the HDMI plug what the hell are all those other plugs?  One is the Wii Senser Bar I Know but the others I can't figure out. OK one is also a network plug, that still leaves at least  2 I have no idea about.

The white one on the the right is the DRC Direct remote controller i.e wii u pad, I see the sensor bar and the video wire, AC adapter.

There is a normal port for video, not HDMI next to the HDMI.

That still leaves 3 4 ports/wires unnaccounted for.

Yeah it's a bit weird, we saw this pic^ a long time ago then Nintendo suddenly forbid the press from taking pics of the rear but didn't give a reason. Now the demo units have all these weirdo ports. I guess the DRC connects via USB in the retail unit. I wonder what all those wires are doing though? They would seem redundant.

Just tried out Playstation All-Stars beta, just a poor Smash Bros. It is no where near as responsive as Smash, attacks dont feel as well defined as they do in Smash. Smash has a clear definition of what kills you, here there is no life bar or anything, I dont know what is happening. Items dont show up much and when they do they are kind of crappy. Dodging feels slow. It will do alright but compared directly to Smash this is clearly an inferior version.
