SMBU is great if you can get past the fact that it controls like a Mario game. That is to say, badly.

Yeah sorry the jumping and momentum in those games is 100% consistent every time. You can tell they sat there with hit boxes on trying stuff over and over again to get it just right.

My issue with NSMB Wii was that the running and jumping was very... mushy? I wish I had a better way to describe it but I suppose at least other people recognize this. Also my boyfriend tends to like it because it plays like the original Mario Bros. rather than any of the later games. That is to say, he loves the mushy qualities.  Still we got Lego City Undercover and he really insisted on buying Tank! Tank! Tank! (it was on sale, so it wasn't an expensive purchase if it's the failure of a game everybody says it is).

The rumored, then confirmed, then subsequently unconfirmed Wii U version of CoD: Ghosts was just re-confirmed. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=521161881285023&set=a.322420547825825.71668.322374604497086&type=1&theater

What the hell are you doing, Activision? It's not that surprising, given that Black Ops 2 was on Wii U as well, so it's not like they didn't have an engine for it, but what the hell is with the confirmed-unconfirmed-confirmed bullshit?

They were probably trying to see if Treyarch was going to actually put effort into the Wii U version. To see if they could even say it was going to have the "new" engine. EDIT: That Chris Goodman guy has bad taste. Why is he asking for a RE:ORC port for the Wii U?! bushisms.txt fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jul 25, 2013 |

They're intentionally trying to murder their sales so they don't need to do a three platform release going forward? I dunno what else could explain it.

Remember when Modern Warfare eventually came out on Wii, and the only screenshots that they made sure to release were super early production ones that looked a zillion times worse than the game ended up? When they went out of their way to delete real game footage off youtube eventhough it made the game look way better than their officially released screenshots? Activision

I dunno why Activision's been playing coy about it, but Treyarch just confirmed that they're handling the port (like they did for the Wii versions of IW games) and it'll have pointer controls and e: The Wii U is getting a Star Wars game  quote:SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), continues to support the Wii U™ system with some of the biggest franchises in entertainment, including the highly anticipated Call of Duty®: Ghosts and the next game in the best-selling kids’ franchise, Skylanders SWAP Force™, as well as Angry Birds Trilogy™, Angry Birds™ Star Wars®, SpongeBob SquarePants™: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge and Wipeout™ Create & Crash.

Watch CoD Ghosts not sell many copies, and then we can repeat the tired old "third-party games don't sell on Nintendo consoles" argument again for the millionth time.

Small question, I have a 3ds and play lots of Monster Hunter. A friend of mine got a WiiU that has no controller. I read that you can control the WiiU with the 3ds too. Is that possible? Because I might get it just so that I can go online for Monster Hunter.

It's by design; the controls just feel loose and I just found precision jumping and whatnot to be very difficult. I never really felt I got used to the controls in the entire time I played it.

Tighter?

This is a pain in the rear end though because you'll need a wired connection for the Wii U as, apparently, the 3DS takes up the Wii U's wireless connection it'd use to connect to a router. I believe there's a special ethernet to USB thing you'll need for the Wii U. njsykora posted:Pikmin 3 rules. Buy it. I will... when it gets released.

Minidust posted:Doesn't VVVVVV just not give your character any momentum at all? That's not so much "tighter" control as it is different. Yeah. It also means that Captain Viridian kind of skids to a stop instead of stopping completely when you let go of the button. Which often leads to his death if you stopped moving near a hazard. I'm not sure if I would call that good controls.

Nope, and if your friend got a console without a Gamepad then he was ripped off. They need to go together. I don't know what that scammer thought they could do by keeping the Gamepad, though. It doesn't work without the console. Maybe they doubled the ripoff action by selling the Gamepad to someone else?

My only problem with NSMB U is that most of the music is recycled from NSMB Wii, otherwise it's a great platformer.

I have a friend with a WiiU, could he somehow set up the system that way that I dont need a gamepad anymore to start MH3U online? Well I guess I'll skip on buying it if its impossible to use the console itself without the controller. Edit: Using a Wiimote or any other controller other than the official pad would work too? I might get this thing for as cheap as 50$ after all. FrickenMoron fucked around with this message at 19:42 on Jul 25, 2013 |

Sakurai mentioned recently that the reason they don't add fighting game characters to Smash Bros. is because people already know how they are in fighting games so there's no point. Mega Man is an exception since he wasn't originally known as a fighting game character. Also, Sakurai confirmed in Famitsu that Smash will have no story mode or cut scenes because people leak stuff on the Internet. There will still be a separate mode from standard versus play in the 3DS version.

Well I guess I'll skip on buying it if its impossible to use the console itself without the controller. Here's the deal - you need a Gamepad to get things started for the initial setup, which might already be done if your buddy somehow got a Wii U without a Gamepad. Gamepads can be synced to different systems, so you could borrow one if you need. Now, if you only want to play Monster Hunter, you could buy a Pro Controller, they're being cleared out of most Wal-Marts for 20-30 bucks. You can control the menus with it and boot up Monster Hunter no problem. Later down the road, you could call Nintendo and tell them you lost your Gamepad and need a new one. They run 140 plus shipping from Nintendo, so it's not cheap, but if you just want to play Monster Hunter now with the option of playing other games later, you could probably do worse. For 50 bucks, I'd probably take the plunge.

Just throwing this out there but the best platformer control wise is Rayman Origins hands down (and Legends if the challenge app is anything to go by.) I've had no real issue's with NSMBU personally but gotta respect the new king of platformers

There can be single player without a Story Mode. The Classic Modes found in every game, as well as Melee's Adventure Mode, are all storyless.

Subspace Emissary wasn't as polished or as enjoyable as Adventure Mode in Melee, and I was kinda disappointed to not have it in Brawl. I liked how there were ways you could change how it would play out, and end up with different encounters, like Luigi, Giant Kirby, or Metal Mario (and Luigi). I'd rather have every character get their own storyline, with stages and fights designed for them specifically, such as a Mario stage that revolves around wall jumping. Actually, Break the Targets was like that in Melee, but it was changed to five generic stages that all characters would use.
