How do I go about paying straight off the card?

I'd rather do that then ration the virtual tenner.

If you go to purchase anything it will come up with add funds (which is the £10 thing) or pay remainder by credit card which will just take the correct amount.
 
lovin super mario world shame it was over a fiver. i got a 15pound gift voucher and not sure what to with whats left :confused:
i will keep 30p for metroid so its a pick between kung fu rabbit or neo assault what would you peeps recommend?
 
Neo Assault is pretty good, in single and 2 player. Not played Kung Fu rabbit. Bit Trip runner 2 is supposed to be good, and the graphics have improved immensely since the Wii. Or check out Double Fine's "The Cave".

Unsurprising, I suppose, given EA and Nintendo's 'fractured' relationship over the Wii U.

You don't seriously believe that they couldn't get FB2 to run on a console with more power than it's contemporaries? Different architecture aside, of course.

(Don't quite know why I'm putting over a counter point, considering your sig and location text...)

wii U has a weak CPU

the engine does not work on the console nothing to do with EA hate on Nintendo

lol if people actually take my Sig & location serious
 
Again, it's not surprising given that the Wii U is a different console in terms of architecture. Why would EA bother developing their old engine for a console that they don't value? I don't believe at all that the Wii U couldn't run the FB2 engine.

/edit: RE sig and location... What exactly did you want people to think?!

That he is an idiot probably I mean

When people grow up they realise that only following the one true path in anything is a pointless exercise and that you may actually be missing out on stuff then you won't be a dick.

Until then we have the whole fanboy stuff to look forward to re PS and MS stuff and teh aboves load of old tosh.

Do you know what a GPGPU is?

The Cpu being "weak" has no effect on its ability to play a game like Crysis or BF4.

Hense why games that are ported right like NFS and Human Revolution look BETTER on the Wii u.

they did put need for speed on WII U

Which sold less than 10k copies in an entire month in the US, which means it likely sold even less in the UK

Yes but games that are being ported to the PS3/360 depend on a 'strong' CPU and a 'weak' GPU.

They would likely have to rewrite a ton of their code to get the CPU heavy stuff running on the GPU of the Wii U and since third party games sell like crap on the Wii U, it's probably not worth the effort.
