The Timely Howard posted:Wasn't sure where exactly to chat about this, but I guess this thread will do. Fusion actually has a way of avoiding navi rooms right at the end so you can get 100%. There are hidden passages that link each sector and let you skip returning to the main one. Just FYI. I didn't like Zero Mission because it suddenly gives you every power-up in front of the end boss door and expects you to turn around and run back through the entire loving game to get upgrades that were unavailable until that point. Um no, I am never gonna do that. What a stupid design choice.

You're a novice Samus the whole game but you still manage to do alright, and then at the end you get a sweet Chozo boost and become proper Samus and now you can tear through Zebes like a god, crushing everything in your path.

I asked in the video game deal thread for you, maybe they'll know. fyi if you want a new way to turn the WiiU on, reach for the gamepad and knock it on the ground, it's the universal sign for "oh you want to play video games".

What's the best controller to play La-Mulana? I bought it ages ago on steam, but playing with a keyboard sucks, I was wondering if the wiimote was good enough to play this game.

It was designed with a keyboard or wiimote in mind, so I hope you can get comfortable with one of them.

How does that work with the Mario Kart 8 free game? If you bought MK8 and, say, 3D World, could you get two free games as a result (one from the Target offer and one from redeeming the MK8 code)?

Well Nintendo did it; I finally caved. Took me 3 stores to find one. Who knew the Wii U would be sold out? I wasn't totally sold on the gamepad but it's actually pretty rad. Playing on the gamepad works way better than Vita remote play. Sadly it came with a dead battery so I guess I have to post about it for a bit instead of rocking a catsuit

Most consoles tend not to have major install bases until there is actually stuff out for them that people want.  PS3 and 3DS were both victims of this and were both written off as dead in the water til worthwhile stuff started to get released.

Yo, I'm playing that Super Metroid and I'm stuck. I'm in Maridia, I got Power Bombs and Gravity Suit and Scanner Beam and I can't loving find the way to get to the boss. There's a sandy area with water that has locked doors, and no other routes to the boss symbol seem to exist. Where should I be and how can I get there? i'm playing it on the Wii U so I can ask here right?

Assuming, you are on the top-rightmost part of the map and are in fact very close to the boss, in the room with the spikes that is below the save room, the spikes are fake.

Loving the hell out of my new Wii U, so far the only games I got for it is New SMB U + Luigi U and Earthbound and F-Zero for Virtual Console, don't have spare dough for games like MarioKart 8 or Super Mario 3D World yet, that's waiting until next payday which will be fatter since I'm working more hours again. I was kinda iffy on the whole Gamepad thing, but as others mentioned it works really well, and I think it's really neat you can play on either TV or the gamepad's screen. Oh, and Nintendo games in HD graphics, wow.

I've heard of the input lag on the gamepad when playing a virtual console game but my question is this: is there any input lag on an HDTV when you're playing a virtual console game?

When I play F-Zero, which is pretty input-intensive, I experience zero lag, so maybe it depends on your set? I've tried mine on both my computer monitor and the HDTV in the living room and have had zero problems. wafflemoose fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jun 22, 2014 |

I think when most people talk about input lag on VC, they're just surprised at how sluggish the original SMB really was. The Gamepad should have almost no lag (one frame). Most modern TVs will actually have more lag than the Gamepad, even when you put them in game mode.

We just recently picked up a Wii U and after moving everything over and getting VC games upgraded, I felt like there was a bit of lag at first on the Mario Games and even Zelda. Now that I have played them for a few days, I think I was just out of practice (seriously going from Mario 3D Land to SMB 1 is a nightmare for how off it feels in the control department).

It's not a Wii U thing, it's a problem with said persons setup. I've got a Panasonic Plasma and there's no lag at all. The gamepad and tv both sync with the games perfectly.

Specifically, the locked door is in a small room with a sand water fall and infinitely spawning fish. If you haven't fought Botwoon, the snake miniboss, you need to find your way into the center of Maridia. After you grapple across the top of a huge room in green maridia you'll be a purple pipe room. Shoot the floor there to find the next path. Once you find Botwoon and beat him the path to the boss is relatively straightforward. The locked door you're describing is actually the exit from that area near the boss.

A good way to tell if you've got a laggy TV is to listen to the audio. If the audio doesn't match, neither will the picture.

Once upon a time I was super anal about any sort of input/display lag (music game dork,) and I don't feel like there's any sort of noticeable lag. I mean yea, you're likely playing on an LCD HDTV, so there's some lag there, with a wireless controller, which introduces more lag, but it's all negligible. Likely to the tune of a few milliseconds. NOTE: only virtual console games I've played are Super Metroid, Super Mario Bros, and Super Castlevania IV. Haven't tried any of the Street Fighters, which I imagine would be the only games where lag could be an issue. enojy fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Jun 22, 2014 |

Didn't know where to post this, but this is the closest there is to a general Nintendo thread, so I'll post it here. I'm working on a project to arrange bunch of songs from a bunch of Mario games. The main ones on my radar are Mario 64 and Paper Mario, but after that, who knows. Dire Dire Docks is finished, in any case. I'll post more in here if people give a poo poo.

Ultigonio posted:You've got a lot to work on. Mix is weak and leaves a lot to be desired with a cluttered mid and percussion that's too quiet, your arrangement of the backbeat is particularly weak and lacks the emphasis on 2nd and 4th beats that give the original version its power and drive, and you've dropped the harmonies the strings had without really replacing them with anything but notes that are already there. You could probably also use some stuff like reverb, too, but I don't wanna' say too much, since I'm an amateur, myself. I'd recommend taking a closer look at what gives the original its impact, movement, and variety, and keeping those elements in mind in your arrangement, even if you change them up. I'd start asking questions about what you use and all that, but that's gonna' turn into a discussion that's not relevant to this thread very quickly. This is fine, criticism is good, don't worry about it.
