Is it really a huge part of the game?

Astro Nut and ImpAtom basically nailed it here, but wanted to say you probably would want to grab a screen protector for the Gamepad if you hadn't (you can get a pack for a couple bucks). There's the usual games geared towards kids on disk, but you could also probably find some good things on the eShop. Also there are a number of party games/minigame collections on the Wii U, and it seems like those minigames should be simple enough for a kid to pick up. Also, it might be worthwhile to note most Wii U games can be played directly on the Gamepad so it can be used like a handheld in your home (I think the effective range is something like 25 ft from the Wii U?).

Astro7x posted:I found New Play Control Pikmin 2 for $30 at a local used game shop. I'm guessing this was a good deal considering I couldn't find it anywhere until now? I think the guy at my local game shop was confused because a few months ago he told me that I could order copies of both NPC Pikmin games for $36. It took a few weeks but eventually they came in and i was a happy camper. The next time i went in there were signs saying that they were looking for copies and they were paying $28 for EACH game, so i definitely don't think i was supposed to get that deal. I was interested in them after playing Pikmin 3 and they scratch that itch but are a million times less polished. It was really an eye opener into what a quality game Pikmin 3 was.

Boomerang goes up/down depending on how Mega Man is moving. If you're jumping up, it'll arc up, if you're falling/sliding down the wall it'll go down.

If it's any consolation I think that the janky wall-dash-jump is the easier way to do it, especially because I always do Spark Mandrill before I have the boomerang.

You only have to go back to armored armadillo once for the hadouken. You do have to die five times though. The only stage you have to backtrack to is Chill Penguin in order to get his heart container you need flame mammoths weapon. If you were to do flame mammoths stage first to get it, you would miss the sub tank and arm upgrades because you need the boot and helmet upgrades. Boomer Kuwanger heart is obtainable with only the boots. You don't need a boomerang or ice sled to reach it.

greatn posted:Boomer Kuwanger heart is obtainable with only the boots. You don't need a boomerang or ice sled to reach it. Thank you for saying this because nobody believes me when I say this is possible to thebpoint where I started to doubt it myself. On the other hand, I never even thought to wall jump for the container in Spark Mandrill's stage. The boomerang just came naturally. You don't have jump to steer it though, just hold up or down as you throw it. The way I would always do the game as a kid once I got good at it was that I'd get the boots in Chill Penguin's area and then immediately suicide, after that I'd start with Boomer Kuwanger as I felt like that made for the least backtracking overall. IIRC this reduces it to just going to the beginning of Sting Chameleon's stage after beating Launch Octopus for the flooded area near the start.

So here's a glitch, if I open "MarioKart TV" in MK8, it now stops working and tells me my USB storage is bad. Is this a known issue with a fix? Is there some data I can delete that's not my race/unlock data?

I believe this deserves a crosspost here: An amazing glitch has been found in Hyrule Warriors  You can swap movesets between characters. Nintendo, if there ever was a glitch that you shouldn't patch, this is loving it  .

Okay, one more question: what is the actual interface on the controller when someone else is playing something? I will probably have an 8 and 9 year old over periodically who are semi behaviorally challenged and it seems probable they'll need to take breaks and have alone time. What do they do on their own and are you able to restrict things if needed?

What's the usability of the wii u for kids, especially little ones? Ive got a 4 year old, we got him a wiiu for his birthday and he loves it. Setup some parentel controls to stop them from accidentally buying stuff or changing system options, show em how it works and just let him mess with it. We just dont let him change games on his own because hes not clean or gentle enough with discs yet. If youre not opposed to nintendos digital distribution like i am its even easier cause they can just pick from any of the games easily from the main menu. The touch screen on the gamepad makes everything very accessible for kids, plus so far most of the games we have for him can be played on gamepad only so you can still watch TV or whatever. The WiiU is a great console for children.

Are you talking about when the gamepad is too far from the wiiu and it loses connection? That IS kind of annoying since my son cant play from his room but it works in our room because its right above the room with wii. The range on it is pretty good, but is blocked easily. It works just fine staying on the same floor as the wii in most of the house though.

Oh, i get it now. Honestly im not really sure what he could do with it that id need to worry about that. I have the parental lock on drat near everything. I think the worst he could do is delete his saves (which he knows not to do now after a night of tears when he deleted his mario save in "bowser land") and maybe watch a youtube video with some foul language that got past the safe search. edit; Miiverse also seems like a pretty cool mostly safe kind of Junior internet thing i think he could probably play around with when hes a bit older.
