Why would they have a general forum for a game series that almost never appears on Nintendo consoles? And even when it does only in remake form years later (Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 3), with one non canon creator disavowed original game (Snake's Revenge) like 25 years ago.

Has anyone else played Arkham City for Wii U yet? I hadn't played this or Asylum before, but it's a ton of fun, and the Wii U's gimmickry figures into the game pretty well. It's pretty easy so far, but I'm assuming this is part of the learning curve.

fivegears4reverse posted:I want you to be right, only because the internet rage would be amazing to witness. I recall some fits of rage when FF13 was announced for the 360, can you imagine the results from FF7's remake going to a non-Sony platform? The fact that it's on a non-Sony system along with the fact that no matter what the game will be hated by all would be amazing. If it's the same exact game but with better graphics: "What the gently caress, Square! It's been like 15 years I want poo poo to be different!" If it's different in any way: "What the gently caress, Square! This isnt the FF7 I remember now this is just modern casualized bullshit! FF7 was perfect as it was!" In either case, the people who havent played it before but due to its reputation revere it: "What the gently caress, Square! This game isnt literally giving me blowjobs like the past 10 years of fanboy hype has led me to believe!"

Minidust posted:Yeah, I had a lot of fun with it. Still pick it up now and then to get some more Riddler trophies (there are way more than in in the first game) and I still need to play Harley's Revenge. I'm only up to going into the church to find Harley and Joker, so I couldn't tell you about the extras yet. Bombadilillo posted:I played it on ps3. It does get harder when enemies show up that can only be defeated a certain way, or cannot be countered so you have to dodge. Then of course they mix and match all those baddies. The gadget gimmickry involves using the Wii U pad as being like your forearm-mounted Bat-computer. Usually, hints and information from Alfred come from the pad, while you play - so that feels realistic. If you don't feel like hearing from Alfred, just turn down the volume on the pad. The new armor for the Wii U version involves using kinetic energy, which I don't totally understand (in that why it's even a thing), but it's fine - it adds an optional graphical and gameplay element. Then things like the evidence finder are used sort of like how you use the pad to look around Nintendo Land's park. You have to stand up, and move the pad around to find bullet holes, for example. It's a little silly, but makes the experience fairly unique. Plus, you don't do it enough to make it annoying.

Batman Arkham City is the only game I've played through twice in years. It was really surprising too since I got bored of Asylum pretty quickly. Also, the real games starts on NG+.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Now that I think about it, didn't that alleged screenshot of the Miiverse developer forum show a listing for a Final Fantasy game? I seem to recall it mentioned a Yoshi game for Wii U and a RE Revelations port, and they both turned out to be real... The new Flipnote Studio was just announced in Japan's Nintendo Direct (you posted about it in the 3DS thread), and Donkey Kong was recently announced, and there are two Resident Evils on the 3DS along with Metal Gear Solid 3. With FF3 being re-ported lately, having it show up on the 3DS wouldn't be a surprise either. 3DS and mobile devices are supposed to be getting Miiverse as part of the whole Nintendo Network thing. It's quite possibly related to that, and Miiverse will cease to be WiiU-exlusive. The list is probably real but it doesn't distinguish between platform.

The pokemon figures for the wiiu game are going to be highly stylized but damned if I don't want a couple. My prediction is that they're going to sell like crazy, even if the game is terrible (looks like they'll be sold much cheaper than skylanders figures). I've never played the rumble/scramble series, is it any good?

The Lego City Undercover review embargo is apparently up so they're starting to hit and are all over the place. Eurogamer (9/10) Edge (5/10) The basic difference seems to be whether the reviewer thinks the Lego game framework works without a licence to tie things together.

These both showed up earlier in the thread, so I'm not sure about any flood of reviews due to the embargo lifting. However, one person noted that Edge gives real reviews so 5 means "average" and not "Duke Nukem Forever." e: Actually DNF is a 50 on Metacritic, so my analogy is completely wrong. But point is: 5 is okay from Edge, not utter poo poo like on most review outlets. e2: Edge's main complaints seem to be that they didn't like the jokes, the driving physics and there were mild annoyances of graphical pop-in and poo poo. They also cite that it's for kids and not original since GTA already exists. So, nothing unexpected there, I reckon. Soul Glo fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Mar 14, 2013 |

Every review I've seen mentions long load times and graphical issues, which is kinda irritating. It doesn't seem like a particularly system-intensive game.

For what it's worth, I find Eurogamer to have the most trustworthy reviews of any game site perhaps outside of Polygon.

Here are the reviews if anyone feels like reading them: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-14-lego-city-undercover-review http://www.edge-online.com/review/lego-city-undercover-review/ Also apparently from the 17th to the 23rd target is doing buy 2 get 1 free on all games, perfect timing for Wii U to finally get some decent games. Also they are giving a $50 dollar gift card if you purchase a Wii U. ( Saw this info on CAG )

When do games go live in the eShop? I plan on buying everything digital and want to get Monster Hunter and don't want to refresh at midnight and keep f5ing it if they don't go live until noon or something silly. The download speeds are also rather poor but I'm going to assume its the wireless. Does the wiiU get good speeds if I buy a USB -> Ethernet adapter? Will it even know how to use it? I'm not having online play issues but getting a game that is even 2GB takes forever. I really wish I could just pre-load Monster Hunter make it known when I download that I'll have to activate it at a later date before I can play. We are in a digital age and I'm very impressed with the wii U, I've downloaded a few games on the PS3, the selection was pretty terrible for digital, and stuff did not download in the background even if the console told you it did. It seems the WiiU specs have some "game" resources and some "system" resources I'm going to assume the PS3 just has 1 set and if the game uses too much the downloads stop or something stupid. Really I'm very impressed with how well it handled me downloading 6 things at once (mostly demos). I did not think Nintendo would go from "Internet scary people take advantage of children on there" to Yeah everything worth poo poo is available digitally. I love what this represents and am glad I decided to back the console.

It's sort of been all over the place from what I can tell. They confirmed Monster Hunter was getting a midnight release in EU and I hope/assume it will be same for the US but you never know. When they do midnight releases, they have been going on eastern time meaning it's available at 9pm pacific time. Lego City is confirmed for a midnight release on the eshop in NA, so I hope they do the same for Monhun. If it's not available at midnight, Bit Trip Runner 2 and The Cave both released somewhere between 1-2pm eastern time the day of release.

What with most of the people that would be potentially interested in it already owning it for a while now or not realy being interested in a Nintendo console anyway. If SE really wanted some sort of success on the Wii U, they'd be better off porting that Kingdom Hearts remake.

Looks like Lego City got favorable reviews from Kotaku and IGN--both pretty laughable in terms of reliable reviews but for what it's worth, it sounds like it's basically a bigger version of the fun Lego games in the past with some GTA twists.

That's just Nintendo's service; unless you have the worst wireless router in the world and have a ton of poo poo between the WiiU/3DS and router I can't see the adapter improving things by much. I have 25~Mbps down and it still takes me over 30 minutes per GB.

Any good deals on the system out there for someone looking to pick it and Monster Hunter up? The ZombiU set seems to be the best deal so far. $30ish more for the controller and a game on top of the system.

Everyone should note that 50$ gift card is likely not something you can use then and there. They will probably mail it to you, like the $20 gift card you could get from BestBuy. Might be a nice way to finance that one game you are looking to buy, if you can wait on the mail. vvv cool beans. Just making the point since not everyplace honors the gift card on the spot.
