Some UK place called Argos is doing some sort of sale, here's the decent Wii/U stuff I noticed on the website: Wii Partu U/Wiimote Plus bundle - 14.99 Game & Wario - 19.99 Resident Evil Revelations - 15.49 Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - 13.49 Deus Ex Human Revolution DC - 12.49 Kirby's Epic Yarn - 9.99 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - 9.99 Boom Street - 4.99 Beat the Beat. Rhythm Paradise - 3.99 They also had the Xenoblade/red Wii Classic Controller Pro bundle listed for 24.99 but it's in-store only aka you're never gonna find one.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Some UK place called Argos is doing some sort of sale, here's the decent Wii/U stuff I noticed on the website: Retailer, not quite a supermarket, but nevertheless deals in a lot of stuff, largely family and home related in some manner - hands out massive free catalogues at Christmas. A number of the games you've listed though aren't actually part of their Big Sale (summer, duh), but are listing their permanent price on the website. Deus Ex, Tekken, and Resident Evil don't have deals on them, and from what I'm looking at, the Wii Party U/Wiimote bundle is at a full price of 34.99 And turns out the Xenoblade matter is actually a matter of being unavailable for home delivery. What you do is buy it, they ship to your local Argos, and you pick it up. Considering its price relative to say, Amazon, I may have to seriously consider this when I've a bit more money. Edit: Or.... not. drat. Decided to test it fully, and then it listed as out of store stock. Daaaaamn. Double Edit: To drive in the wound further, its not at any of the ten stores nearest to me - even up to a range of fifteen miles. Astro Nut fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jul 4, 2014 |

Seriously, think of someone new to the thread who wants to see the pluses/minuses for it (which is a great feature, by the way) - where are they going to look for a Zelda game? The section with all the Nintendo exclusives or the section with third party games? Remember, the most important thing to keep in mind is to be helpful for readers. We shouldn't get caught up in technicalities and instead do what's most useful for people. And yeah, I'll probably spend some good time for the next few days leading the general discussion thread through hoops as we talk through each game I don't know very well. Fun.

A Sometimes Food posted:Is Unlimited World Red any good? Haven't heard anything about it good or bad, but seeing as it isnt out in America yet, that's probably why. I've hard it's sort of a hunting type game which I am a sucker for. It looks like an updated version of Ultimate Adventure which was all right, but honestly didn't hold my interest for a very long time. UA had pretty straight forward character advancement through new moves, but they didn't really open up the levels like I wanted. The exploration was pretty rote. Crafting was all right, but the fishing and bug hunting I personally found a bit boring and overly reliant on the waggle.

What other systems can you today walk into a store and buy Wind Waker (HD) for? None. You _might_ be able to find it used, in a "gaming" store, but only if you're lucky. Don't forget you'd need a GameCube + Controller + memory card, or Wii with GC support + GC controller + memory card. You can't get it on the PC (legally, emulator is possible) You can't get it on xbox (one/360) You can't get it on PS3/4 You can't get it on DS/3DS You can't get it on Vita/PSP It is, an exclusive game, to a specific system.

PrBacterio posted:Eh, I'd say it's a little disingenuous to call a rerelease of a game on a new platform an "exclusive" just because the original one is no longer available/supported; that would be kind of like saying Zelda is a Wii exclusive because you can no longer buy a new NES But at the same time, more people would be thrown off to read Zelda as multi-platform than to read it as exclusive. When I read the post, I thought he forgot Wind Waker on the recommended list because I never once thought of it as multi-platform. When I think of multi-plat, I think multiple consoles of the same generation, not "this is a remake from one of Nintendo's previous consoles."

When I see the word "multiplat" in reference to a Wii U game, I interpret that as a game I could also buy for Playstation, XBox, or PC. I think the colloquial definition trumps the technical, here.

Starhawk64 posted:Multiplatform = Available on multiple systems across different manufacturers Yeah, strictly speaking, Wind Waker (HD) is what I'd call a multiplatform game - I'm a pretty by-the-books guy for these sorts of things. That said, if it's gonna' be an issue for multiple people (which it seems to be), then I don't have any issue with moving WWHD to "Exclusives." I won't be calling the GBA VC releases "exclusive," though, you folks ain't pushin' me any further with that.

Not listing WWHD as an exclusive seems weird but that's just me. I see where you're coming from but from a realistic standpoint it should be listed as an exclusive. No one is going to pass on the Wii U because they could play that game on a GC but people will certainly purchase the console specifically for it. And there is only one version of WWHD that you can buy, the one exclusively on the Wii U. HD remakes are a tricky bag eh?

Help Im Alive posted:Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is a great game and the Wii U version has some exclusive modes but the trade off is that the online is probably dead at this point and I don't think there are any Wii U arcade sticks out there if you don't like to play on pad. For some reason it doesn't let you post screenshots on Miiverse either. There's a stick for the WiiU, it was made specifically because Tekken Tag was coming out on it. The downside is I think it plugs into a Wiimote if i'm not mistaken although I may be thinking of the Wii Fight Stick that came out for WWE All Stars. Also motherfuckin' Tekken Ball is exclusive to the WiiU version. Spacebump posted:The worst part of this is for months after the fact Ed Boon pretended it was coming on twitter when anyone asked him. I'll never buy another game by him over that. Yeah I was extra pissed about this because the WiiU version ran the best and the Pro Controller has that great D-pad. Bought it on discount on steam awhile back just so I could get to play around with Martian Manhunter and Zatanna and i'll be damned if it doesn't have little stutters whenever you level transition which weren't in the WiiU version. I'm flippin' tea tables. Commissar Ken fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Jul 4, 2014 |

Wind Waker HD is an exclusive. It's an overhauled new edition of the game, available no where else. I don't know if Grim Fandango HD is only on Xbox One, but for the sake of the argument if it were, it would also be an exclusive and not a multiplat even though Grim Fandango came out 15 years ago.

I mean, honestly, I think of Nintendo IP as "Nintendo Exclusive" and never as even being up for discussion as multi-platform. In other news, I finished NSMBU just now with all of the stars, and I have to say that I freaking loved that game. I know that it's a little derisive, but I had a blast the entire 18 hours I played it.

Took me a few tries and that looks to be the easiest one. I'm probably going to move onto Wind Waker HD next since I spent a week and a half exclusively on a platformer.

At the end of the Club Nintendo year (June 30th, the year actually just ended), Gold members get a choice of a couple free gifts and Platinum members get a choice of a couple fancier free gifts. Its nothing too terribly special, but it's usually exclusive. Last year had a CD release of the Majora's Mask Soundtrack, for example. And a couple years ago I got a little Mario Bros statuette thing. And yes, the Club Nintendo reward games will give you Deluxe Digital credit.

Info about it is hidden somewhere on the website but yeah I've seen so many people ask about it in this and the 3DS thread I kinda wonder if they should push that info a bit more. Now that the year ended, the real hard part is waiting to see if the prizes are any good (I know some weren't stoked about the MM OST last year but I was), then waiting until December if the prize is good. Oh boy

I guess the prizes have the inherent issue of either being underwhelming or being something good enough that it should have gotten a wider release. Perfect example being the SNES classic controller from a few years ago. That's something everyone should have access to, not a limited exclusive.

I can't help but think it's a modern classic. The only way it won't go down as a classic is if Nintendo takes the formula and somehow improves the idea even further. That said it's not really hard to expect with how high quality their titles have been lately.

I'm glad they stuck to her special glowy bugs and didn't dump a whole lot of unfitting bugs like Skulltula and stuff in her moveset. That said, they need to stop loving around and announce Groose already. This whole game will of been all for naught if he isn't playable in this.

This pushes the game from "wait for a sale or something" to "strongly consider getting day 1" for me. Dynasty Warriors gameplay can be mindless at times, but that sort of thing can be okay or even great for online co-op, since you can have a chance to chat and have fun with a friend (or multiple friends?) while just wrecking dudes.

It's funny how the Wii U is getting high profile exclusives of the absolute best and absolute dullest of character action in Bayonetta 2 and Zelda Dynasty Warriors respectively, and that the good one has a character/tone that turns everyone off while the bad one is in the second most loved videogame franchise there is.
