I knew I was sold on Lego City Undercover but now I think I'm double or triple sold on it. Definitely picking this one up when it releases. It has always looked like pure fun from the very first trailer we saw for it.

Magnatux posted:I can't wait for Lego city Undercover. Everything I see of it makes me want to play it more and more. Let's stop reacting to a bad demo for a game and talk about that. I personally think the sense of humor in the direct a few months ago and the trailers is charming and refreshing. Thoughts on this non-MH topic? I'm actually surprised how good it looks. Its only fault is that after so many Lego games being a great "go to" for coop gaming (even on the ds) its a surprise that this is single player. But Smooth animations, giant world, and holy crap gamepad uses that go beyond its a map? Just give us a demo that gives a taste and I'm sold.

Are you seriously calling MH clutter? You have no understanding of how great MH is, you are crazy and belong in a bag of nuts.  quote:I knew I was sold on Lego City Undercover but now I think I'm double or triple sold on it.

I played lego HP, SW complete saga and SW clone wars. All of those games had segments that were really great fun and other segments that I hate so much I can't see myself going back and replaying the titles. For example, the "battlefield" segments in Clone Wars where you had to build silver turrets to kill gold turrets and whatever the gently caress else. Christ. gently caress those levels. And the other levels are so much fun.

Are there any reasons there'd be sales coming up soon? My roommate and I really want to pick up a WiiU for monster hunter, but can't really justify the investment since we have a friend who brings his WiiU any time we want to play party games.

Reoxygenation posted:They're selling consoles at a loss already so unlikely. Well, they very well might not be at this point. Component prices dropping and whatnot. edit: I agree that an early pricedrop is unlikely. The solution is for them to get more games in the pipeline. We'll see if that happens.

If, and that is a big if, they do a price drop i'm sure it won't be until a few days prior to PS4 and/or 720 launch. The poster specifically said sales though, except for one offs I wouldn't expect any impressive sales until the next black friday. The ZombiU bundle seems like a great value though... Hindsight and all of that, but with this game drought I could have waited on that bundle and still had plenty of time to kill before MonHun was released

Bobnumerotres posted:[Sakurai's] arm injury is just going to lead to development of controlling the WiiU with your feet. Hopefully it also segues into controller schemes for the face and rear end. At the same time. But yeah, I love how Sakurai apparently loves himself some REVENGEANCE and I hope his arm heals up without a hitch.

Finally finished ZombiU, what a trip that was. It's been a long time since I played anything that creeped me out like this one did. I spent the whole trip through the nursery freaking outv that there might be kid zombies roaming around. I've moved on to Runner 2 now for a change of pace, I have a few of you already on my friend's list filling up my leader board but if anyone wants to add me, my NNID is citizelowell.

What's the best protective case to get for the tablet? Ideally I'd like one that still lets you charge it in the cradle.

Does anyone else have the issue I'm having? Basically any time I quit the new Bit.Trip game to go back to the Wii U menu, it just loads forever. I have to unplug the system. So far it hasn't happened anywhere else, but I'm about to try popping in a different game and quitting to see if it does it again. EDIT: Seems to occur only after an extended play session (like...more than 15 minutes or something stupid) as I was just able to boot into and out of Trine 2 and Runner 2 with no issues.

I know we're supposed to get away from MH talk here, but just in case anyone missed it:Capcom posted:We are pleased to announce that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will receive a software update that will allow cross region online multiplayer between European and US players. This update will also let you play the game on the Wii U GamePad without the need for a TV screen. We're also happy to announce that we will frequently release free downloadable quests from launch. Truly fantastic news. quote:I'm hoping the scanner thing is a predecessor to something for Luigi's Mansion U. Don't you mean Pokemon Snap U?

Another Lego City preview: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...nto-the-bargain Apparently it's been in development for three years, and as for the amount of stuff in it: quote:There are some new gameplay elements, such as collectible bricks left behind when you smash the scenery. These can be saved up to create Super Builds - large structures that perform specific functions in the City. A story mission might need you to build a bridge, for example, or you can use them to erect spawn points for the many vehicles you amass.

Does anyone know when Runner 2 is coming to Europe? I've done some searching but can't find anything. I was looking forward to downloading it this week to get some use out of my WiiU but nope, not there. It's on Steam but not the eShop which is confusing. Hope it's not going to be another Scribblenauts Unlimited.

I've had similar problems with the new Google app. I've had that happen when powering down from within the world map. Glad to see a patch is coming. As an aside this game has made me quite happy about the headphone jack on the pad. I can plug in my regular headphones and wrap myself in the soundtrack without any need to muck with my audio set up.

March is looking pretty decent. Lego Saints Row is gonna be rad, plus there'll be Monster Hunter and Need for Speed. Should end the drought for a while. Almost a shame those games will be competing with Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider for a lot of people's money-- not that the overlap's huge, but it's surely there in some capacity (I know it is for me, anyway).juicecube posted:Nintendo really needs to get out there and advertise.

I wanted it on WiiU for the off-tv play functionality but if I have to wait months like usual when stuff like this happens then I might as well get it on Steam or XBLA. It would be nice if they stopped doing this with games, or at least give a reason instead of keeping quiet.

The "reason" is that they have to submit separately for each reason and can't release until Nintendo gives them the go-ahead, and even then they usually aren't given a release date until a few days before release.
