Soylent Heliotrope posted:I'm not usually the type to slobber over video game graphics, but Pikmin 3 is loving gorgeous. The art department really knocked it out of the park on that one. I agree. The only thing that sours it just a little bit for me is the fact that Nintendo doesn't seem to know about anti-aliasing.

Is the Nintendo refurb deal for $200 still the best deal out there?

Comrade Flynn posted:Is the Nintendo refurb deal for $200 still the best deal out there? If you would buy an extra Wii Remote Plus, a wheel, and MK8, you might as well get the instant satisfaction of getting the bundle. If you don't want the wheel, it really comes down to if you want to wait a week or so for the free shipping Nintendo has. If you'd go expedited shipping I'd just get the MK8 bundle locally. Nintendo Land is dirt cheap used, so you don't have to worry about that.

Comrade Flynn posted:Will my old Wii Remote Pluses work? Yep. All your old Wii controller things will work fine. Even your non-pluses if you happen to still have them. Pro Tip: Do you happen to have extra non-plus Wii Remotes but don't wanna bother with trading them in for like $0.50 or whatever the going rate is? Grab some Wii Zapper shells (which I'm sure you can find dirt cheap as well) and make those remotes dedicated Wii Light Guns (tm) for maximum fun with your copy of Ghost Squad or House of the Dead: Overkill or whatever!

Eventually, we put aside our differences so that we could slay the final boss. It took two weeks. We didn't touch the game after that.

Finally got my Wii U refurb in today. I guess I got lucky in that there are no noticeable cosmetic blemishes or anything it! Very nice. But I'm confused how to register it with Club Nintendo. I linked my Nintendo Network ID and it seems to have automatically hooked me up with my Club Nintendo Account. Yet I see no proof of it on the club Nintendo site. Is it just being slow or is there something else to do?

To break down the cost, if you are willing to spend money on refurb stuff vs. MSRP if you walked into a local Gamestop or Best Buy. For the exact same items except for the red Wii Wheel Nintendo Store +$200 - Refurb Wii U w/ Nintendo Land +$20 - Refurb Wiimote Plus w/ Nunchuck +$60 - MK8 =$280 MSRP $330 - Wii U w/ Mario Kart 8 $20 - Nunchuck $30 - Nintendo Land =$380 You could get the Nunchuck for $7 and Nintendo Land for $23 saving you $20 at the most buying retail making it an $80 price savings. You could also get a Wii Wheel for $6 on Amazon. So in the end, for the exact same stuff refurbed, you can save between $74-$100 depending on how frugal you are.

I'm really enjoying 3D World. I wasn't totally sold on it at first, especially compared to something like Mario Galaxy, but world 5 kicked it into gear. There were so many good levels and the introduction of the coin train was a truly beautiful moment.

Apparently the Fils-a-Mech has become sentient, because I just got a notification from it. It says I can use a Mii version of him, but I'm not seeing any sort of download anywhere, and it didn't appear to be in my Mii Maker...

MaxDuo posted:Finally got my Wii U refurb in today. I guess I got lucky in that there are no noticeable cosmetic blemishes or anything it! Very nice. I also got a mint refurbished Wii U. I even splurged on the overnight shipping and they got it here in about 18 hours. In total with tax, that was $230. It didn't come with a charging cradle, so I picked that up with Mario Kart 8 for $70. Brings my total up to $300, which is $50 less than the bundle with tax... but I don't get a wiimote and wheel. Of course, I didn't realize that the wiimote has a ton of functionality on the Wii U, so I'll likely be buying one of those for around $30, bumping my total up to $330. I guess in the end, the price difference was kind of negligible -- I could've paid $20 more to get a bonafide brand new Wii U that couldn't possibly have been previously owned by the world's most disgusting baby or something like that. Of course, if I had opted for the free shipping, that would've been $17 more in savings. Oh! About redeeming it on Club Nintendo, it showed up automatically when I next logged in, after having linked the console to my Nintendo ID and all of that. I'm pretty sure it showed up the same day. They do claim that refurbished consoles aren't eligible for Club Nintendo coins, but it worked for me. YMMV, maybe? enojy fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Jun 5, 2014 |

I got Pikmin 3 from the MK8 deal and I'm really loving it. At first it was jarring to see it running (at what I assume is) at 30fps, since nintendos titles seem to target 60, but now that I'm getting 100+ pikmin on screen with no slow down it makes sense. This is also the first game to really sell me on the tablet. I kinda feel bad I didn't give nintendo money's for this game. Wait maybe this makes up for the last update taking over an hour to download, so we'r even.

I got Pikmin 3 too and I'm enjoying it much more than Mario Kart. Apparently they just patched in the tablet controls a few days ago which is really strange for them to update a game after it's been out for so long. I think the tablet control is pretty decent but it's decidedly built for a right handed person because I have to hold the stylus in my left hand while wrapping my right hand around to hit the left trigger buttons which is really awkward.

Comrade Flynn posted:How long did it take? It ended up showing in my club nintendo about an hour later... so it took around 2.5-3 hours. I knew Club Nintendo was going slow a few days ago for the MK8 stuff, and didn't know if that was still going on or what. enojy posted:Oh!

They do claim that refurbished consoles aren't eligible for Club Nintendo coins, but it worked for me. YMMV, maybe? Yeah I was worried that maybe they were trying to fix that coin thing, and accidentally made new systems just not show up from some dumb mistake. I've not yet seen anyone who didn't get the 160 coins for their refurbished unit as well. Also starting out with the Wii U like this is really great. I went with the Best Buy deal for MK8 because I'd rather just get $10 of gas now rather than get 3 games that will take me a while to play (work, various events to go to, 3DS games, PC games, Wii U, reading... no need for so many game purchases right now) by using the TRU deal of 40% off or whatever it was for another game. But still I get Nintendo Land, Mario Kart 8, NSMBU (from the free deal, I'm a soulless monster and just don't care a ton for Pikmin), and have 400 coins expiring on Club Nintendo so I also got Super Metroid through their current offering. Hopefully next month also has a good game to spend the coins on. MaxDuo fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Jun 5, 2014 |

A game from Nintendo in July? Has hell frozen over? At that price point its like getting one of the games for free too so its a better value physically. Of course that's if the Baseball/Boxing costs more than $10.
