Her mouse is shaped like a bombchu; now I want that mouse. (Also she is left-handed, because she wants to be like her beloved Link-sama.)

Don't remember seeing it mentioned, but there is a SSB 3 poster set on Club Nintendo NA for 700 coins.

Too bad they didn't pick some of the more artistically unique pieces for the poster set, They're all good but I'd have rather seen Greninja's, Mega Man's, Shulk's or Robin/Lucina's instead of Rosalina or Villager. Palutena was a great choice though.

Palutena was a great choice though. I might've been interested if there'd been a generic group-shot poster in there, or even just one with Shulk front and center, but none of those are really all that good. Frankly they really shot themselves in the foot by making a single character front-and-center in them.

They could have at least used the box art. Those have a good collection of characters, even if King Triple-D is absent.

Really? Where else are you going to find a poster of Palutena, Pitt and Link? That's great. I wish they were doing it in the Aussie store so I could get some, but instead, all I've got is a Yoshi backpack.

So it looks like Nintendo actually managed to make a profit in Q2 of this financial year: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-10-29/nintendo-earnings-beat-estimates-on-super-smash-bros-yen quote:Nintendo Co. (7974) posted second-quarter profit that beat analyst estimates, helped by demand for new games including Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8 and a weaker yen that boosted the value of overseas sales. Things are on the up-and-up!  e: On top of that, Iwata has finally fully recovered from surgery. Hopefully this means we'll get a Nintendo Direct at some point soon again!

But isn't Q2 July, August and September? That mean they are not even factoring the first month of Mario Kart 8 sales in there. Now just waiting for someone to ruin the good news by saying they were profitable by selling property of something like that.

Wild Knight posted:Quelle surprise, releasing two of Nintendo's biggest games helps them turn a profit! It actually is, but a very pleasant one at that. If Nintendo keeps this momentum up, and Microsoft continues to struggle differentiating itself from a meaningful way from PS4, I think there's going to be a green future for the Wii U (or whatever color yen comes in... bluish purple?). It definitely consumes my playtime, and I have no dirth of games currently or upcoming. I still haven't started Pikmin 3 or DK: Tropical Freeze, and definitely won't before the next set of games coming up. Also, I know I previously said there wasn't anything I wanted on the eShop, but I'm eyeing up Metroid Fusion, Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance, as well as Shantae Pirate's curse whenever that releases (definitely in a metroidvania type mood).

Will Nintendo be selling the GameCube adapter separately? The Amazon page has it listed separately, but *scratch* the date isn't right. I already have a bunch of functional WaveBirds, so I don't need another controller, or I'd be buying the bundle already. Oh, wait a minute. The bundle is probably just a physical copy of the game, so I don't want any of that nonsense. Yeah, download game + buy the adapter separately is my plan. Phew, glad I could figure that out. Hey, guess who just watched that 35 minute hype video for Smash Wii U and now has to plan his entire life around that game? This guy.

Yes, usually when you see a December 31st release date it means they didn't know what the date was going to be when it was announced, probably just need someone to fix it. Best buy has it with the correct date.

Seeing people talking about Hyrule Warriors I thought I'd just weigh in and say I really love it. For me it's one of the most solid games available on the Wii U currently, and I think it's part of the solid line up that the Wii U needs. I wrote a full review just very recently if anyone is into reading it. http://www.ricedigital.co.uk/review-hyrule-warriors/ Still, I'm more of a Zelda fan than a Warriors fan, so I guess it could potentially be disappointing if you're a fan of the latter. I've never even played another Warriors game. I do have Dynasty Warriors 6, but my co-worker says it's the worst one. greatn posted:Serious post, I had a dream I was in an elevator a few years ago, and instead of using it I just stood in it for several minutes doing nothing. Then Totaka's song began to play. I freaked out and ran out of the elevator screaming at the office "No! We're not real! Its all a game! I heard the song!" When you hear Tokata's song that's when you know the Reaper is coming for you.

So with club nintendo, I signed in and it said I wasn't even gold and the bar was all hosed up and only showed the top half of the letters in my name. Signed out and back in and it worked and I had my 1500 coins. Bought the poster and the coins didn't vanish from my account, I chose to trust it and left. Just checked back in and now 1400 coins are missing so I can assume it went through the order twice for some reason... is there a way for me to contact them about this because losing out like that is kind of lame.

Bought the last copy of Bayonetta 2 at Target yesterday. Like W101, I fully expect to play the game for 1 hour, get pissed off and post about how stupid the game is, and never touch it again. Cannot wait.

I'm obviously joking about Bayonetta/2 and I've already voiced my dislike of W101 (I've tried to give it a ton of chances, it just is not meshing). I'll probably go back to it and play on easy but I just can't get into how vulnerable you are in the game and how difficult/annoying it is to round up your troops and keep them in line. I totally recognize that it's a fantastic game though.

Great news, I am really happy.

Yeah, I don't know how they managed to get a profit out of what they released in Q2. That's what, Tomodachi Life, Hyrule Warriors, Layton vs. Wright (US), and uh...I guess continuing sales of Mario Kart? E: JordanKai posted:Didn't Smash Bros come out in September in Japan? Yeah it did, that's the big one. Still, that's one blockbuster, a crossover between two niche series, a Musou spinoff, and a Sims-lite that somehow found a million sales. If that's enough to put them in the black, Smash Bros (both the Wii U version and the rest of the world for 3DS) and Pokemon are going to make it a hell of a Q3.
