TVii is flawed from the get-go, because anyone who has proper surround sound on their Wii U is using an HDMI receiver, and the only input-switching that the GamePad does is for the TV itself. I'll be glad to be wrong if this has been updated though.

Is the pro controller worth it? I didn't have much trouble beating Rayman Legends with the gamepad, but at the same time, I don't want to wear out the gamepad, as its my suspicion that a replacement gamepad would cost significantly more than a pro controller.

elf help book posted:What's allowed to be discussed in this thread? Anything general related to the WiiU, really. The problem is that when people start talking about Mario 64, Pokemon or Zelda topics without any relation to the WiiU, it buries legit WiiU discussion. It's best to bring that stuff to their respective threads. keyvin posted:Is the pro controller worth it?

Only if you can find it for $20 or $25, which I think you can, otherwise no. I think it'll become useful when the more complex games come out next year (X, Bayonetta, new Zelda maybe, Smash Bros, etc.).

Nintendo made stuff will not go down in price. I was reminded of this when all the Mario talk made me look for Mario 64 DS and it's loving $39.99 new. What's that, seven, eight years old, original launch game for a now outdated system, still full loving price. I don't see a Pro Controller going down in price for a long, long time. Good luck finding that one specific sale that will include it, though.

Wii U Pro Controllers are 18usd and up on ebay though, they even come in authentic boxes and all that. I've bought both of mine from there, they're really decent all-round bluetooth controllers for android and the like, as well.

I would try Amazon's used selection. I was able to get one for $23 a few months ago, and it seemed brand new.

Most games that use the Wii U pro controller will also use the (much cheaper) Wii Classic controller. As an added bonus, those work with Wii games!

They dropped down to $25 for a while at BestBuy so it's entirely possible they'll drop again. I picked one up with no issues for that price.

DKC Returns was my GOTY and it's probably my favorite 2D platformer ever so this is probably going to be my system seller.

Speaking of Donkey Kong Country Returns, will this one have a normal control scheme by default? I could never get into the Wii game due to the overuse of motion controls. Still need to get the 3DS version, but wondering if they took a cue from that game.

I can't imagine them using motion controls as a default on this one given the Wii U gamepad is the primary controller.

I do really wish that you could put it on a button bc that game is just so loving tight otherwise.

Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TLTBN...405X8JRPH3ET7K& Or spring for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009AFLXQ...T5X4JZ43ZX44WM& Both of which are high quality.

Yo NA dudes, TRU is doing a "buy the new COD, get 50% off another game" deal online right now. Here's all the non-terrible Wii/U stuff:quote:WII U Some of those games were fairly cheap to begin with, so if you're already buying COD they might be worth grabbing with the extra discount.

Yeah the Wii classic controller is great, I've played a ton of VC games with it and more recently it worked as a pretty good MH3U controller when my Wii U gamepad broke.

Also the golden Classic Controller Pro is the best Classic Controller because it has a matte finish. I don't know whose idea it was to put a shiny finish on a device that you are going to rub your oily sweaty hands on constantly.

In regards to Tropical Freeze's potential fourth character: I never thought I'd say that I hoped a character would be like Nabbit from New Super Luigi U, but if Cranky Kong is an invincible assist character / super guide that vocally berates you for asking for his help, I will absolutely love this game to death.

Thank you thread for singing the praises of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Not only is it full of fun crap from my childhood, it is also an excellent kart racing game. It even has an actually fun single player mode, which is something Mario Kart has never really managed imo.

Real talk why does it take so long to launch the Wii app?! I tried it for the first time last night and it takes loving forever to play a Wii game. Also I downloaded A Link To The Past and it told me no Wii motes, but in the OP it says I can play anything with a Wii Motion Plus wii mote, confirm/deny?
