Yo NA dudes, apparently Sam's Club is clearing out Wii U stock and you can get console bundles for <$100 (local-only, so it all depends on what your local store has stocked).

How easy/cheap is it to get a Classic Controller? Is it worthwhile to still use the Coins to get Mario RPG or is a Classic Controller a $50 investment now?

? It's probably just a pointer to a struct/function that tells the game which controller input to look at.

That video has just reminded me how wonderful the Super Mario 3D World is. It's also made me feel guilty for not finishing it yet. I'm up to the bonus world that you reach via the spaceship and the difficulty sort of shot up relative to the rest of the game. It made me lose all my motivation considering I was enjoying playing and 100%'ing the levels up until then.

I just did a lot of those levels today and they actually get easier the further you go through with them, actually, with one exception. After the second level the difficulty shoots way down and they become super fun.

You unlock Rosalina in like level 3 or something and her spin attack that is also a double jump makes this quite a bit easier for the most part. 3D World is just  I love everything about it (well except for that final mystery house), especially how colorful everything is. The colors! Look at all those colors man!!!Mercury Crusader posted:Cat puppets are the new hype. Case in point: I love that the Japanese Meowth voice sounds like it's almost like the American one.

I just noticed that I missed a word there in my post and it's too late to fix it since I've already been quoted. I meant to say how wonderful the "Super Mario 3D World Soundtrack" is. But the post as it stands also reflects my opinion. The entire game loving owns and I love everything about it. If I had one complaint it would be that some of the gimmicks weren't used nearly enough. I would be perfectly happy if there were way more Plessie rides, Toad puzzles and Double Cherries. Also, look at these terrible things that are on the official Nintendo website:

romanowski posted:Platinum games don't really go into detail on the quirks of their mechanics but it's all stuff you can easily figure out on your own after playing for 15 minutes anyway. if somebody went through MGR:R without understanding how to the parry then I don't know what to tell them. It's because you're not pausing the game, you need to press + and - at the same time to pause. Pressing + just opens the menu, thusly it doesn't respond.

But now that they've happened twice, consistently terrible, it's all warped around and become hilarious to me now. I want there to be lovely memes for every Nintendo game now. "You'r the man now, Nintendog."

If they were literally just those pictures with those same words but as captions underneath no one would think twice about them. But because they are in meme form they make people frothing raging mad and that's the funniest part

It's like that and it's funny, but I don't think it's anything to get "frothing raging mad" over.

I know Nintendo fans will defend every dumb thing Nintendo does, but are some of you people seriously defending these lovely Memes pics? I mean, I guess they aren't worse than your average Meme pic, but that's an awfully low bar to set and doesn't still make these just sorta lame. I'm not mad about them, they just sort of make me sad when I look at them. And claiming they're all part of some master trolling by Nintendo is even lamer.

I must be the only person who thinks Nintendo trying to do memes is adorable. It's like an elderly person trying to make rickroll jokes or something. And I didn't think the jokes were that bad? Not super hilarious but they made sense at least?

So some Sam's Club locations are apparently selling WiiUs for as low as $60 http://www.gamnesia.com/news/sams-club-is-selling-wii-u-bundles-for-under-150 Unfortunately I live in Canada. If you have a Sam's Club near you, could you call them and see if they have one available? It would be really cool if I could PayPal someone to ship me one esp if they're as cheap as $60.

So for somebody interested in learning secrets locations and maybe getting some decent gameplay advice so I can boost my W101 scores, is there a Let's Play or any decent video guides that, preferably, break things down by level, that goons would reccomend?

There are basically zero good LPs for this game out there right now. I'm currently working on one but it won't be out for another two months or so, probably. Saur has some videos on the game, but he stopped uploading stuff because he got upset about Google+.

Your Revengeance LP was very informative, and helped me get the grasp of parrying as well, so I'll have to look forward to this being done. These Saur videos are insane, I didn't even know how launching and lock-ons worked. >_<;

Never played Super Mario Galaxy, and after finally getting the hang of it, I'm really enjoying it. Never played through Super Mario 64 either, so should I get the virtual console version, or the DS remake?

Well they'll probably have a virtual console of the DS remake sometime this year. The N64 version controls better but the DS version has a little more content.
