One of the things I wanted from this "Project Café" thing was to not have loading times. Since the machine was designed to be just like the competition, I suppose they figured loading times have to be there too.
But hey! Wait a minute!
Why are people complaining that Nintendo's new console has bad loading times whereas they don't complain about the competition, who have loading times that are just as long if not longer?
Conspiracy? No, not this time.
It is because we expect better from Nintendo that's why. Mario Party 9 and Kirby's Adventure Wii don't have loading times at all, GameCube games didn't really have loading delays either and the N64 was cartridge based so it was also nice and speedy.
The Wii U has loading delays for menu screens!!! Ugh!!!
While we're at it, the 3DS isn't an angel in this regard either. The DS and DS Lite were much faster with their loading of games and the 3DS has many many more menus and other firmware aspects with noticeable delays everywhere. I tried my old DS Phat for the first time in ages lately and I couldn't believe how fast games loaded.
I don't have a Wii U yet.
