Noobish Wii U question here:  Can I play some Wii u games without even hooking the console to a Tv?   Could I hypothetically take the console and game pad with me to work, plug the console up and play a game?   Also, which games can be played on the game pad at the moment?

Yes you can, you only need the power cable too. You can play most games off screen but not some aspects of Nintendoland and not Zombi U or Lego City.

EDIT - system is also only slightly bigger/heavier than Wii 1 too so very portable.

And this is why no one wants to do score attack verses Vader. He always kicks everyones' ass.

I did a speedrun against Vader in Mario Galaxy 2.

But we both got utterly annihilated by that Pachattack dude. So we both quit!

So I just ordered Pikmin 3. Kmart was offering $15 in points if you get it so I bit on it. They are doing the same with Rayman. Will get both and use the money toward 101.

It can, but the problem is Pikmin 3 doesn't have the second stick control of the GC games, it turns the camera instead. You can still lock on and swarm. And they missed a trick not giving you touch screen only controls for offscreen play. Nintendolands Pikmin game has that for instance.

The AC4 footage looks amazing. This looks like a proper sequel, I am hoping it turns out way better than AC3.

I htink it will be an investment group, not a known gaming copany. Two years ago I would have said Square, since they were the savior for many mid-size development companies, but they are broke. Namco doesn't have the money, Sony and Nintendo doesn't do aquisitions and it doesn't fit with MS's demographic.

Sony Nintendo would make the most sense since they could capitalize for both home and handheld consoles.

Actually, I smashed my head pretty hard today and might have given myself a slight concussion. Logic tells me, after the events of two years ago, I should head straight for the doctors, but I'm stupidly playing the wait and see game right now instead. Wheee!

I am very excited for tomorrow and I have a crap-ton of games I could be playing right now. Pikmin, Animal Crossing and Shin Megami included. I just don't feel like it.
