How do you like the Wii U gamepad when it comes to playing games when you’re away from the TV?
I’m a single parent. My daughter and I live together -- having daughter for anyone that doesn’t’ know is like having a miniature wife in the sense that she has shows what she wants to watch, but in my household she’s 10. I’m the kid because I want to game. So we had a fight the other day. “Miley, I want to game.” “Well, I want to watch New Girl on Fox.” “Well, I want to watch New Girl on Fox too but this is the biggest TV In the house.” I’ve got a 72 inch TV and I can’t watch this. Wii U fixes that. Oh, yeah. You go watch the New Girl. Click. I’m playing on the Wii U. I was actually playing my game and it was like a handheld console, which frees you up. There aren’t any cords. You aren’t bound to the TV and the range is pretty impressive. I don’t know what the range is, but I was able to step around the corner of the living room and lay on the couch. So she had the TV all to herself. I think that the Wii U is going to save a lot of marriages. It’s going to save a lot of heartache. So kudos to you Wii U.
What mini games do you like to play on Wii Party U?
On Wii Party U my favorite so far is Operation Sandbox. I’m in a tank and there are three other people. The one concept that the mini games bring that’s great is that if you’re like me and you’re super competitive, when my friends come over not only do I want to talk smack to one person but I want to talk smack to the whole room. So three people face me we can get it on. In Operation Sandbox you play one tank fighting against three smaller ones and if you can get the three of them out you win. If they score six hits on you then they as a team win. I also like one where it’s basically a board game where you actually use the Wii U to roll the dice. They have a simple way, which is you just grab the screen and you see the dice roll. You can also blow on the microphone, which is built in, and a balloon goes up and down and if it pops then your roll is null and void. But if you can get it to a certain level, you can blow, three, four, five, six, and then you have to hold it there. So it’s just great.
