I know the Wii U has a lot less horsepower than the other next gen systems but god drat Captain Toad looks great. It's amazing what art direction can do.

I wonder how Amiibo integration is supposed to work. It'd be fun to drop Mario in there and totally murder every stage, I suppose.

Captain Toad just got confirmed as a January 9th release in Europe. Not sure on it being so soon after Christmas, but on the other hand, it does mean there's actually something to get after Christmas (which is useful when your birthday is in early February!).

Captain Toad looks great. Great art, very cute game. But I really hope the puzzles ramp up a lot in difficulty pretty fast. Everything they've demoed so far seems super easy and straight forward, barely puzzling at all. If the levels don't ramp up a huge amount by the ending, to be nice to the kiddies, I really hope that they at least will have insanely hard to get collectibles in some of the later levels so that THOSE at least will take a lot of skill and thought.... but not be required to win. edit: It's the same thing as Yoshi's Wooly World... That game looks so cute.  But I remember hating how easy Kirby's Epic Yarn was. Then again the biggest challenge will be to defeat that adorable yarn fire dog boss

allfrogs247 posted:Captain Toad is one of those games I'm weirdly excited for. I liked the levels in Super Mario 3D World, but they didn't blow me away. For some reason though a whole game of them sounds insanely appealing. The $40 price tag doesn't hurt either. Aaaaaand of course, $40 translates to £40 (Amazon pre-order price).

I've made it a point to avoid growing up to be the kind of nerd who still buys action figures despite being a grown-rear end man. I'm not sure I'm ready to make an exception for Amiibo. At least not until they bring out Waluigi.

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I fixed it and I wanna share that fix with the world. For a while now, the Wii U browser on my system has been, at frequent yet seemingly-arbitrary times, suddenly ceased rendering pages at all. When this happens, everything on the current webpage other than the current screen area (+ a little bit above and below) turns to a solid color, all links stop working, all GIFs freeze, and all other tabs become blanked-out when viewed, and all refresh buttons, tab-close actions, or efforts to navigate to other websites stop working until the browser is closed and reopened. Often, the browser will hang again immediately upon trying to render the offending page. I fixed this by deleting ALL the Wi-Fi connections in the Wii U Settings, re-initializing my Wii U's familiarity with my home Wi-Fi, and then enforcing Google DNS in the connection's advanced settings. I'm not sure which steps caused the improvement, but now even once-crash-happy sites like Tumblr behave perfectly!

Well the Bayonetta 2 demo sold me on it. I didn't know if I'd like it or not cause while it looked awesome, I didn't like the Wonderful 101. This demo was fun as hell though so I'm totally getting the full game. I'm AWFUL at dodging though drat. I liked her whip moves more than her gun moves. I want to smash people with Bowser's god fist!!! edit: gently caress man, Bayonetta 2, Toad's Treasure Tracker and Smash Bros. I'm not made of money here Nintendo!!!!

Any word on a release date for Costume Quest 2 on Wii U or any other console? Not wanting to bother with moving my computer setup to the living room at the moment.

The Wii U browser is the best non-actual-computer browser I've ever used (when it's not behaving all weird) and the gamepad is more comfortable than a laptop when chilling out on a couch.

If it's consistent with other Mario games, it'll probably be mostly easy and then the optional levels will be utterly insanely difficult.

Two months ago, I would never have guessed that my ps4 sits in dust while my WiiU is getting plenty of use. And then throw in Smash bros (my only hope is it be better than brawl), Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, and Bayonetta 2? Ain't no slowing down. And I haven't even touched mario 3d world, though I'll get there soon enough.

What are the non-competitive-scene complaints with that game? I don't think any non-competitive players "hate" Brawl. It has a really good roster with some characters that previously seemed like pipe dreams (Sonic, Snake, etc). It does some things better than Brawl and some things worse than Brawl. I think the loudest complaints at the time came from the singleplayer campaign. Some people like it, some people despise it, and most people go "meh." The problem is, they hyped the poo poo out of Subspace Emissary. That was supposed to be a huge selling point, but the gameplay simply didn't feel that good. I think the biggest issue is the Wii hardware itself. The models are higher quality than Brawl's, but since the camera is usually zoomed out and everything is rendered in standard definition you can barely tell the difference most of the time. It looks better, but only sliiiightly. So, YEARS after Melee, you plug in Brawl and it looks like you're playing the same drat game. If the Wii had been able to output hd that would have been a different story. Polo-Rican fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 10, 2014 |

Weird, I didn't know that mode burned a lot of people. As for the graphics, I think it's more than 'slightly better' good-looking. I think another comparison for how the updated visuals looked are comparable to Sunshine -> Galaxy. I dunno, Brawl is my favorite in the series. The idea of going back to melee sounds like something I don't want to do.

Subspace Emissary was fun. I spent way more time on that than the main game. Though I did have people to co-op with. And Tabuu was a giant "this is how you sidestep dodge" tutorial. Once you figured out the timing on that, he was piss easy.

I liked Subspace Emissary, but it didn't hold a lot of replay value for me...except for unlocking a few hidden characters. Other than that I never went back to it after I finished it.
