He dropped it backwards. He layed it down on the floor then sucked it back up into his hand. Thats awesome.

It seems pretty clear to me that he's secretly the guy from Braid and just rewound time.

Clearly it's a metaphor to how Nintendo screwed up with the Wii U and how they'll fix it.

I'm not too fond of the HD remake, since the bright turquoise sky looks terrible, and the cell-shading disappears when you open a chest or are in shadow, making Link look like a plastic figurine instead of a cartoon.

Jesus Christ man, :nws: that poo poo, my parents walked in on me and now they think I'm a human being manchild and I'll have to call into my big grown up adult manly job for the next week because I'm grounded for being a babby looking at pictures of babby games

It's going to be totally awesome and will definitely be out sometime this year. (AKA, nope, unfortunately.) I'm expecting it to come out in the Fall personally. Maybe October to loosely relate witches and Halloween.

When you use the pictobox, there's a legend for which button does what and IIRC, it's a simple button press that lets you take selfies.

There's an interesting sale starting on the EU eShop (and hopefully the NA one later in the week but who knows).

The developers of the five participating games love each other's games so much, they're offering you their own game at 60% off the regular Nintendo eShop price if you have already downloaded any of the other four games on your Wii U!

Runner 2 and Switch Force are the only ones I've played and they're both really good (especially Runner 2, game is awesome) so I'd recommend those to anyone who doesn't have them. I hear good things about Toki Tori as well.

What is the goon consensus for a second player controller? I do plan on buying some of the Wii backlog that I missed over the past few years, so I am leaning toward a Wii Remote /w Motion Plus instead of the Wii U Pro. If I get a Wii Remote, is it recommended (or required) to get a nunchuck with it in order for the second player to have a good experience?

https://store.nintendo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&categoryId=70706

$20 gets you a wiimote plus and nunchuk attachment. Another $20 at gamestop will get you CCpro add-ons. Get these if you plan on having multiple people.

Otherwise get the Wii U pro controller, for one other person. But it cannot be used for Wii games.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/370818905712?lpid=82 for $27 currently.

I haven't, but there's a bunch of 15 minute playthrough reviews on YouTube that make it look like it could be fun if there's a bunch of you and there's an abundance of alcohol. For that price I'll probably pick it up.

Quite like that you don't use the TV to play it at all, it's all done on the game pad and you use a wiimote with it as well (you have to hide it for some games etc).

I just did a couple of Club Nintendo surveys, the Wii U console one in particular I would like to share. It didn't have my country as a selection at the start of the survey and it mentioned features that weren't even available in my region (like TV streaming), but this page made me sort of cringe:



Also, apparently stating that a game is worth nothing doesn't make sense to Nintendo:



I knew the game was going to be really bad, but I asked for it anyway (xmas gift).

Also, Hyrule Warriors? This is the first I've heard of it.

They announced it in the last Nintendo Direct.

I find it more odd that they left off stuff that was only announced in the E3 direct, like X and SMT x Fire Emblem (which is not canceled right? Right? :smith:).

And it's also weird they list stuff like Just Dance, ZombiU, or Lego City but leave off other third-party games like The Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta 2.

There's several WiiU games they've been silent about since last year like Yarn Yoshi. Give them until E3 to see if they're cancelled or not.
Also I've been curious if that Fire Emblem x SMT thing is even supposed to be a crossover game or just a generic "There will be games in these series on this system" trailer to grab interest.

I would recommend looking up some gameplay videos, a few guide videos, and then try the demo. It's not a game for everyone, but it has a very dedicated fanbase for a reason. I think it still outsells Pokemon in Japan.

It's uhh.. not possible to buy stuff on the eShop if you don't own the console is it? (I'm like 99% sure it's not, because Nintendo doesn't know online, but it's worth asking.)

I'll be the outlier and say that I found Monster Hunter to be repetitive and dull. It's like a bad MMO where you're constantly sent out to hunt boars for body parts but that's the only thing you can do and they keep making you go after boars long after it stopped being interesting.

I'm trying to download MH3U and it's agonizingly slow. Is anyone else getting slow speeds? I was able to download demos for Wonderful 101 and ZombiU pretty quick the other day, so I was wondering if it might just be Nintendo's servers.
