How good is Super Mario 3D World if you playing it solo? The measuring stick for me is Super Mario Galaxy, the best 3d platformer ever made.

There once was a tiger-striped cat.
the 3d world one is only 3 cents cheaper

also what the hell is this crap, I though the deluxe edition came with a pro controller

I played it solo and I liked it more than Galaxy (I also really liked the Galaxy games before playing 3D World).

Nope. Deluxe is black with 32GB instead of 8, and the minor poo poo you don't need like the GamePad stand.

SM3DW is still excellent if you're playing it by yourself. It's basically like an expanded Super Mario 3D Land.

It also tends to be less aggravating if you're playing it solo!

I find the ads pretty acceptable (expect to learn when Smash Bros is released and such which I want to know but don't care enough to like mark my calendar or anything. However, they managed to flatten the battery of my tablet controller with them (I presume, could have been something else coinciding with ad wakeup I guess), so it is still failing on some important basics. Have just opted out now.

It definitely didn't say anything like that. I always opt out of any ads or promotional emails, and whatever the screen said, I opted in because it wasn't clear what it was. I was one of the people who had to come in here and ask why it was happening to figure out how to turn it off.

You don't leave it plugged in when you're not using it? I mean even if you didn't buy the deluxe version of the Wii U a charging stand is like 3 dollars.

Even Club Nintendo rewards count to the DDP. You could theoretically do the most inefficient farming ever by using coins to get Wii U games to get DDP cash to get CN surveys to get coins to get rewards to get DDP cash repeat.

I feel like the OP should say something about those ads that will randomly pop onto the gamepad. I remember opting in for them, but it seems once a week or so someone comes in, confused about why their console is throwing ads at them.
There are two things that are kind of stopping me from doing that. The first is that I have no idea where I'd put something like that. I still have the too-huge FAQ chillin' out in a document, somewhere - maybe I could take that reserved third post and just build an FAQ solely on questions that people have asked in the thread. The second issue is that I'm pretty sure nobody is actually going to give a rip about what's in the OP. It's pretty, and it shows some stuff that may interest people near the top, but once you get past that, I'm pretty sure nobody checks stuff. The furthest I ever go for using the OP is down to the links to specific threads for games/series/developers. I doubt most people even get to the Recommended section, especially since we've had people asking what digital games are good on the Wii U.

Looking at it now, I actually can't find a video that shows people outright opting in, anyway. I could have sworn that I opted in when the update first came up, but now, I'm just not seeing it. It did tell me about the notifications, and it gave me an option to adjust the volume of the alerts, but apparently, that was all it did.

But I was planning on getting Captain Falcon as a little christmas present for myself, and besides him, Luigi and Little Mac, everyone's paintjob seems kinda lame... bar Samus with a pretty good paintjob and a very boring pose.

I dunno, Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha just seem like some kind of forced in Director's Pets or something to me, maybe I'm the crazy one here. They show up in sunshine suddenly and now they are in like every game forever. The Shadow the Hedgehogs of Mario, perhaps.

I mean hey whatever if people like those two that's cool, I just haven't seen any of my friends express that. But I am a goon, so maybe I just don't have friends.

Of course Bayonetta is the creator's ideal woman or whatever, so I suppose this practice isn't always bad.

Yeah I'm not against the idea of getting an amiibo to stick on my desk or something, but most of them don't really appeal to me. And samus, like you said, has a really lame pose.
