The announcer for the treehouse thing keeps pronouncing "Guacamelee" as "Guacamealie". Ugghhhh, so does one of the developers. But the other developer is pronouncing it correctly. Edit: Currently this is a new Guacamelee game, but I don't know what the last game was (the one that looked like Animal Crossing), and the announcer girl didn't say the name when they signed off. She just said "This game will be available..."

I thought everything about this new Link seemed woman-ly except for the lack of a bust. The character seems scrawny and small-framed (even more than your usual anime male-tininess). I think it'd be cool if it was Link's sister, after the real Link gets killed off in the opening moments of the game since Ganondorf is likely on to the endless cycle of reincarnation at this point (think of the bible story of the king killing all of the the babies in an attempt to kill the messiah before the birth of Jesus), and trying to live up to the name and responsibility behind it and disguising herself as a boy so people won't catch on that she's not actually the hero and in the process, becoming the hero afterall. It would also fit the need for a wider, more complex story in a large Skyrim-type game. Could be some good deconstruction on the Zelda myth that's due considering Skyward Sword gave us the origin story. Dishwasher fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Jun 11, 2014 |

Chaltab posted:What is this 3DS game currently on the Nintendo Treehouse? That was Fantasy Life which looks like it's a pretty good Rune Factory type of RPG from Level 5. It's out in October in NA. Chronojam posted:They look to be playing some sort of Mexican Muramasa. Actually, it's a "Luchador Metroidvania," thank you. It's a Wii U port of a critically (and goon) acclaimed game from last year.

), but a quick flick of the controller when going off jumps in MK8 is just ingrained in me now and it would feel weird changing that to a button press.

Nintendo sells refurbed Wii U's plus nintendoland for $200. worth it? It even says on the page "YOU WILL BE IMPRESSED BY OUR HIGH REFURB STANDARDS" but that makes me distrust it even more.

Mortimer posted:Nintendo sells refurbed Wii U's plus nintendoland for $200. People in this thread say it's practically new. They've inspected the casing of the console and gamepad thoroughly and have only found fingerprints, but that can't be helped because the glossy finish attracts fingerprints from the dark side of Mars.

I've been looking at this as well, but I want to point out because I just noticed it today, that unlike the deluxe edition, it doesn't come with a wiimote. It also doesn't come with the stands, but I don't really care about those.

There's no RROD issues. Only thing is the Wii-U tablet black plastic picks up finger prints easily, that and if you play it for long enough you start to see dead skin deposits where you put your hands on the tablet. That's probably the only negative.

Nintendo's refurb items really are in super great shape. I've ordered some Wiimote/Nunchuk combos and a 3DS XL from them, and everything was indistinguishable from new.

That's probably the only negative. Gross as it may be, I don't think I've ever used a controller that didn't have a dead skin deposit where the two halves of the casing come together. Just get a toothpick or something and dig it out every so often.

I have no idea what makes the black wii-u plastic do this, but it's strange.

Mortimer posted:Nintendo sells refurbed Wii U's plus nintendoland for $200. I bought one and it was perfectly "brand new", packaging and all (except you don't get a retail box, rather, an OEM-looking box that says refurbished on it.) Not a single external sign that it had ever been touched by non-gloved hands. Nintendoland was also sealed and seemingly untouched. It also should get you 160 Club Nintendo coins despite saying otherwise (worked automatically for me, YMMV.) Beyond that, the only two differences are the discreet "refurbished" stickers on the backs of the gamepad and console, and the package doesn't come with the charging cradle and stand, which costs a whopping $6 or less. enojy fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jun 11, 2014 |

I don't understand why Nintendo insists on the glossy plastic for their products. Why not just use the matte finish like on the 3DS XL?

Of course they didn't care enough to put up any $9.99 sale signs, leaving it marked as $29.99. But it came up as $9.99 on register.

I'm going to get MK8 pretty soon, and I need to decide what game to get, and right now it's a choice between Pikmin and WW. I already have Wind Waker for gamecube, so should I just get Pikmin, or is WWHD significantly better?

Pikmin 3 is brilliant...debatably the best game on the Wii U. I highly recommend it.

WWHD includes a few quality of life features, like faster sailing and a Triforce hunt that isn't tedious. You can also take selfies in it. If you have a backwards compatible Wii though, you can do some homebrew magic and play the original Wind Waker on your Wii U, provided you have a classic controller, PS3 controller or a Wii U Pro Controller (maybe).
