Welp I finished super luigi U. My biggest complaint about the game is all of the starcoins that require the loving tiny shroom, or are just put in places that absolutely necessitate a guide. My second biggest complaint is that the game has a completely inconsistent difficulty level. Some of the world 1 levels are the hardest levels in the game, and some of the late-game/secret levels are incredibly easy and can be cleared in 30 seconds with all the starcoins in plain sight. I mean, all of it is fun, but it's really jarring to be pulling my hairs out on a stage, then I get to the stage after it and it's a complete cakewalk.

If you're playing Mario or Luigi U without a second player on the tablet you're playing it wrong. Also the thief game in Game and Wario is insanely fun.

I called ahead before driving out. Checked the Kansas city locations as well since I'll be up there this week, and it was the same story. Website said they had them in stock, called and was told it was sold the minute it came in and the systems take 24 hours to update. *edit* I can't seem to get around my works filters to find the information. What format do I need to set on my SD card so that it will work with both the wii-u side and the wii side? Kilazar fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jul 1, 2013 |

Actually thats kind of a problem with the blocks. Its a little too easy to kill people. At least when you're playing normally you have to put some effort into it.

EA: We are clearly huge liars http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/07/01/ea-between-ps4-and-xbox-one-well-be-the-winners-frostbite-3-on-wii-u-lower-priority-but-possible/ quote:Electronic Arts released Mass Effect 3 and FIFA 13 for the Wii U, but currently we’re focusing our resources on Xbox One and PS4, so it’s a fact that the priority (of the Wii U) is slightly lower. Howerver making Frostbite 3 work on the Wii U is not impossible. Where there are gamers, we’ll be there as well. This is the true meaning of “omnidirectional” I hope EA goes bankrupt. Like tomorrow. That'd be pretty cool.

Cliff Racer posted:Eat your heart out, DS! Incidently I think Smartglass and its Sony equivalent won't be a focus for long. It just doesn't seem like the type of thing that someone would want to specifically play much of. You know, setting the real controller aside for an optional dog petting minigame in CoD or whatever. It just doesn't make sense to me. I agree, but what Ubisoft is doing isn't related to Smartglass or Remote Play. They're actually making full fledged apps for smart phones/tablets that let you interact with their console games while you're out of the house, like playing a mobile game that earns you stuff for your character in the main game or (like they showed at E3) being able to load into The Division as a flying drone to help your friends out in a fight. The Gamepad being tethered to the console kills the whole "mobile" aspect of this stuff. I have little interest in looking down at the Gamepad screen while I'm playing most games let alone having to deal with a second device, but when I have time to kill on a commute or during a break between classes being able to pop out my phone for a quick multiplayer session sounds like it could be nifty. Theoretically they could make these apps interact with the Wii U versions of these games too, but what the dude said in that interview probably means they aren't committed to porting them unless something changes.

You know, I was going to skip G&W but after seeing this I might consider buying it. Especially since it's $40. How does it stack up single-player? I'll still probably play it multiplayer with people but I know Nintendoland was pretty lame alone.

So it seems like the main reason they want to region lock the 3DS is due to their Parental Controls system. How they can't handle games from different regions if the system is unrestricted. The hilarious thing about this is that they already do handle games from different regions. I tested this out with my Australian bought 3DS (identical to European 3DS systems) and tested with a variety of European and Australian games. We have different ratings systems, Europe uses PEGI and Australia uses the ACB. A rough equivalence of two ratings systems are (there are exceptions): PEGI --- ACB 3 --- G 7 --- PG 12 --- M 16 --- MA15 18 --- R18 So I set my 3DS to Australia, and restricted my rating to MA15 (the highest the 3DS allows for some reason). All of the European games worked (even Resident Evil Revelations), except for Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked. SMTDSO was not released in Australia and therefore has no local rating. Also, Shantae Risky's Revenge didn't work, as that was not rated locally either (the DSiWare shop stores ratings info). All DS games worked. Next thing I did was set the restriction to G, the lowest. My European Animal Crossing worked, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D did, as did any other game that was rated G by the ACB. Anything that was rated higher than G, even if it was a European version of the game, didn't work. The same to games that were not rated locally. I set the system to PG to see how it handled games which were rated differently in regions. My Australian version of Kid Icarus Uprising was rated PG, but it was rated PEGI 12 in Europe. Of course it launched fine when restricted to PG. I set the system to Europe, and PEGI 7. The game didn't work, as it was rated PEGI 12. So the things I found out: - Games store information on multiple ratings systems and use that for Parental Controls - For imported games, it will take the ratings information for your local ratings board if it is available and use that for parental control use (assuming your 3DS is set to your local region). - If there is no local ratings information, it will block the game on all ratings levels. - DS games have no restrictions. - DSiWare games do have restrictions, and if the game has not been rated in your region it will be blocked.
