I apologize if this has been asked before but is there a good video/audio solution for the Wii U for those of us who do not own digital stereo receivers? I'd like to buy a Wii U and have it hooked up to one of the monitors on my computer desk, but there doesn't seem to be a split VGA or DVI/stereo RCA cable like there was for the 360. I usually like to run consoles to my monitor and then have the audio routed through my soundcard so I can be in mumble or w/e and have the game audio attenuated when people speak etc. I don't want to rely solely on TV/Monitor in-built speakers because that's garbage 8(

In my living room I only have an analog stereo receiver so it would be a real shame to have to use the crappy in-built speakers on my Vizio TV.

You can use the composite/component cables and choose in system settings to have audio go out of the cables instead of HDMI.(optionally you can have it go out of both at the same time fyi)

Is the Wii condom not removable from the motion plus remotes? I just ordered a refurb 25$ combo for a wii-u I ebayed so this is my first time touching the motion plus remotes.

Dude if it's your first time use the condom. You don't know the other person.

Don't buy Costume Quest 2 on Wii U... Game has framerate issues that I assume probably aren't a problem on the PC version. I just did a boss fight and it was getting in the single digits, which makes the game kind of hard considering your attacks have timed button presses.

Game is still charming and fun if you enjoyed the previous Costume Quest, but this is a lovely port.

I kinda wish there was a comment box attached to that question. There are 5 people in my household, 3 of which are definitely getting some amiibo, 2 which may get one or two. I don't plan on going out of my way to find friends with amiibo, but if my housemate's Yoshi amiibo happens to unlock poo poo in Wooly World, hell yeah I'm gonna borrow it for a few seconds.

They should let it happen. The number of people willing to get into Amiibo if they can split it among their friends is probably bigger than the number of people who will try to collect them all just for the DLC. Making it a social/sharing thing would only help drive adoption I think. It's that old sales technique "make the customer think they're ripping you off."

I actually saw the Sonic Boom cartoon yesterday since my son had me up at 6:00 am, and it was actually not bad. They basically just made Dr Eggman an Ice King ripoff and the show was essentially a sitcom.

Aww nuts. Bayonetta 2 isn't part of the Target B2G1 sale. This ruins everything!

I was all hyped to get Bayo 2, Hyrule Warriors, and Fantasy life. There isn't a single $60 game on sale I want besides Bayo 2 and HW, and I'd feel like an idiot getting HW, Fantasy Life, and Wonderful 101.

I love the demo, but from a getting the most bang for my buck perspective it's a silly purchase. Getting HW, Fantasy Life, and W101 would make each game cost $33; whereas W101 on it's own is $24.

It's a B2G1 sale on "Target's entire stock of video games" which turns out is actually a B2G1 sale on select video games at Target. And yeah, I'm sure there will be better deals in the coming weeks, but I don't go out on Black Friday so I was kinda pumped about this sale. Oh well, I've got a couple games to keep me busy.

Is there any time limit on the Bayo 1 + Bayo 2 pack, or is that how Bayo 2 is going to be sold for the rest of time?

Ouch, sorry man! It looked like you had really good taste in games to boot. I think both Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors are worth a full price purchase, if that makes a difference.

If you're more concerned about value than time, maybe do Fantasy Life, Wonderful 101 and ZombiU (or three 3DS games - you mentioned Kirby's Triple Deluxe and that's definitely worth getting too) and wait until Black Friday for the $60 titles? You'd be waiting a couple more weeks to get Bayo 2 and Hyrule Warriors though.

I have to run some errands today so I'm going to stop by the store to see if their store has Bayo 2 listed as part of the sale. If not, I may change my plan and get some different games or just hold off and keep playing what I have. But with Nintendo games, I've always thought it best to strike while the iron's hot, even if I have a bit of a backlog because they never decrease in price.

e: folks on Reddit are reporting Bayo 2 is on sale in stores!

Well any of those is great, but if you start with Bayo start with the first one because 2 is pretty much better in every way and may sour the first game a bit for you.

Everybody check your Club Nintendo accounts to see if you got the amiibo survey and fill it out if possible. They ask you at one point what other functions you'd like to see for amiibos, and I specified that it would be great if third-party games had amiibo functionality that gave them WiiU-exclusive content and features. If you think amiibos in third party games would be cool, tell them!
