Blackbelt Bobman posted:the Trilogy version of Prime 1 is hilarious because missiles are still really good and you can shoot them around corners. Rapid firing them is still really easy. They took the time to fix all these super obscure glitches speedrunners use to skip rooms but didn't bother to fix firing 3 missles/sec and loving destroying the first half of the game.

turtlecrunch posted:At the start of this year I did not think I would ever buy a WiiU. Then, unfortunately, Nintendo announced the Zelda game and all my hopes and dreams of not spending so much money went away. It only became a question of timing, because I also wanted a PS4 (for Bloodborne, Last of Us, etc). Pick up a WiiU Pro Controller for $30 during the Best Buy sale next week. Use it for Mario Kart and DK Tropical Freeze. You're welcome.

NSMBU is the best platformer ever. Nintendo's formula is still holding up somehow it's incredible. Why in gods name can't I play using a nunchuk though, NSMBW supported it and I played the whole way through like that... it's the same game.

turtlecrunch posted:$200 refurbished WiiU deluxe from Nintendo You did it right. This is the best deal for this generation's consoles right now, IMHO. Get Shovel Knight as well. I just finished it last night, and it's great (you can get $5 off of it because of your Pikmin download).

So, played through the first few hours of One Piece Unlimited World Red, enough to get the crew back together (you're initially separated). Going in, I can see where it would definitely be a bit problematic if you knew nothing of the characters or franchise - less of an issue in its native Japan, but more prominent outside it. Especially since the first area is based off of the most recently completed story arc (even if the sheer number of chapters means that's several months - almost a year - behind now). Still, the general interaction is nice and I think would give people a general idea of what the characters are like, even if who, what, when, where and why is left fragmented across mission areas. Its easy enough to find evidence of the game's original birth as a 3DS title, like the relatively simple physics, the 2D (and rather choppy) sprites for the coin drops, and the relatively simple layouts of things. At the same time, the game looks gorgeous for a cel-shaded title (at least that's what I think it is), and fans especially would appreciate how it pretty much looks like a full CGI version of the anime. Combat's a bit repetitive, since you mostly clear out enemies along a path, move on, beat new enemies that appear, and then take out bosses at the end. I've faced four bosses so far though, and each of them has been fairly distinct in their behaviour and fighting styles, even if the answer is just to avoid and then punch them as best you can once they stand still. The combo list from the demo I saw actually has a benefit - completing it gives you a small attack boost in combat, so it does try to encourage you to learn. The real key is mastering the dodge/counter/action button (all mapped to A, and some characters have unique abilities, like Chopper chasing opponents) though, and even mooks can take off a decent chunk of health if you let them get hits in. Speaking of, for anyone who does get the game, actually hold the A button when trying to dodge, because I've tried quick taps and it doesn't seem to register those. So yeah, mostly first impressions, and certainly a solid enough game in its own right, even if largely something fans will more easily understand.

It's definitely an issue related to the cache because I was able to redeem just fine in IE (which I never use) despite Chrome throwing me that same Wario error every time.

Do you still get the digital deluxe promotion points if you get a refurbished 32g? Or does it have to be cherry? Is the ebay battery pack an official one this guy just has 2nd hand? Will I void my warranty or whatever if I use it? Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jul 19, 2014 |

RadicalR posted:How do you know you're in the promotion? Connect your Nintendo ID to your console and then login to here: https://p.nintendo.net/deluxe/ It takes like 24 hours for things to show up once you tie the Nintendo ID to the console. After that, it's just automatic. When you buy something, check the next day to see the points in your account.

Got Game & Wario as my Club Nintendo Plat reward, is anybody talking about this game at all? The reviews kept me away from it, but getting it for free has resulted in the weirdest, most captivating experience and the multiplayer is all friends and I have been playing the past few days. We keep inadvertently unlocking creepy "toys" and spending hours freaking out over them.

Well remember that you still get promo credit for free poo poo, so if your console came with a game and then you got a free game with Mario Kart...that's 3 codes right there. Club Nintendo reward games count as well.

The website states that it IS eligible for DDP, but NOT eligible to be registered as a new console (thus earning you 160 coins) on Club Nintendo. However, my refurbished unit registered itself or something, and I got the 160 coins anyway. I've read of others getting those coins, too, as well as people not getting coins. I have a feeling it boils down to whether or not the original owner of the console had already registered it on Club Nintendo, if there even was an original owner.
