Incredulous Dylan posted:So I called in and basically the store told me they won't charge a restocking fee. I am going to return the TV and use the 10% off coupon to get a 70 inch instead for like 200 bucks more. Woot! Awesome! Never hurts to ask.

I wish I got Super Metroid in Club Nintendo while it was still up. There's no way I could have known I was going to impulsively get a WiiU though.  At least the WiiU rewards are generally great while the 3DS ones are typically uninteresting. Now I'll have something to put all these coins towards.

I've got 10 bucks eshop credit and I'm totally torn. On one hand I really like old school RPGs and would like to try out Earthbound. I just finished ff2 on snes for the first time and loved it. The only problem is I usually only play rpgs once through. On the other hand I could grab Doctor Mario and Mario 3 and play those over and over again. First world problems.

Hey a piece of news that may have been missed:quote:Bayonetta 2 Director Yusuke Hashimoto and Producer Akiko Curoda answer your questions on Facebook! The original version of Bayonetta will be available via a digital download on eShop when you purchase Bayonetta 2 (either a box version or digital copy of the game). GAME IS SAVED

Wonder if that means they'll also be straight-up selling it as well. Interesting. Also probably means more free Digital Deluxe Promotion credit for me to the tune of a cooooool five bucks

ChaosArgate posted:There aren't any other digital Mario Parties that can be played on Wii U though. There aren't any other digital Mario Parties. Unless you're counting Island Tour or something but I don't know why you'd do that. I guess the real answer is there aren't any other digital numbered Mario Parties.

I'm stoked that Bayonetta 1 comes as a free copy, since I wanted to have both games on the same platform, but didn't want to rebuy it. Problem solved!

It's kind of like they are biting their thumb at Sega, since Bayo 1 was a big love letter to Sega's legacy of games, and now they're plastering all this Nintendo stuff on top of it. Oh yeah, it's Princess Peach's Fantasy Zone now!

I was on the fence at first but now I'm really excited for Bayo 1 and 2, especially now that I'm more familar with Platinum's products. It's most likely doomed not to sell but it'll probably be totally fantastic.

Saw this elsewhere... Mario Kart for $35?quote:Target (store only not online) will Price match Amazon.com if the price is from Amazon themselves and not a reseller. Currently Amazon has MK8 listed for $48.79 so Target matched at the service desk.

Austrian mook posted:hold on... excuse me? There's a new game mode where the gamepad player chases the other four people, who are using wiimotes, and the regular players have to try to survive the bowser minigames that happen whenever bowser catches up to them. Each player starts with a certain amount of health that they can lose in the minigames or gain in board events, and the regular players win if at least 1 person makes it to the end of the board. The board is mostly a straight path, but it looked like there were some different options you could take. Edit: Added the quote so all of our replies would have the same format.

It definitely seems lame but a lot of people seem to prefer it that way, I guess it keeps losing players from checking out once it's clear they can't win, or something.

It does make the various dice items more useful, since you could potentially roll a low-number dice to narrowly miss a negative effect (like collecting negative stars or something) and force it onto another player or speed past positive effects with a high-number dice to keep the next player in line from benefiting.

that sounds really cool, although I don't know, I think I'll miss the old style. Really, I just want the minigames to be fun, that's all.

Huh, Pikmin 3 is really great. Takes me back to playing the first two when I was younger. The WiiU is probably going to end up being my favorite console of all time, just really great stuff on this thing.

Now if only they put the classic screw your friends over gameplay from the older games back in where everybody wasn't buddied up in a cart then we can get another truly excellent Mario Party.

Mario Party has always been great for literally any audience. It's one of those rare things that is family friendly without being lame, the kind of game you can enjoy with your ten year old niece or your 27 year old spouse and have just as much fun.

Mario Party is about violently owning your friends and ever since they started pulling away from that angle (ultimately ending up with all players in a baby go-kart collecting mini stars) the series has gotten a lot less interesting.

I dunno what game you guys were playing, but Mario Party 9's "everybody rides the same cart" thing was not a buddy-buddy co-op thing whatsoever. Unless you all were just rolling stock dice and high fiving each other I guess.
