Yeah, but "Mario", "Luigi", "Donkey Kong", and "Yoshi" are series names so it's kinda hard to test your pattern.

It also used Takamaru instead of Mysterious Murasame Castle. And "Octopus" without mention of Game and Watch.

Doesn't that make it impossible to turn in the first GBA F-Zero?

It's probably because you dress up as Captain Falcon and drive the Blue Falcon only. No point in calling it F-Zero if you can't drive as anyone else from it.

I can get the purpose of it - what I don't then get is why there's still so many rings around, even where you can't really get hurt. Guidance, perhaps, but there still should have been some way to make use of the excess, in that case. Its not like they can pull a LW either and patch in lives later.

I liked the core gameplay but there was way too much padding and not enough unique content, so I hope they address that with the new game.

So I got myself an HD tv finally! Hooray! Except I loaded up Mario Kart 8, and while the game is still pretty, and the menus look great, the models themselves seem very... I dunno like they aren't smooth enough? It's not enough to really detract from the game, but it's still pretty noticable and I'm wondering if that's just how it IS or if I just don't have something configured that well. I also loaded up Bayo2 and it also has that issue, like it's being upscaled or something but the resolution and everything is all set correctly

Well, the thing that does kind of suck for you is those were already price reduced anyway so you're not getting much of a deal.

Your HDTV presumably runs at 1080p, while all those games you've mentioned render at 720p natively so yes, it's probably the upscaling that's doing it. You can set it up so that either the WiiU does the scaling itself or leaves it to your TV, depending on which one has the better scaling algorithm built in, but I forget how to do that just now.

If there's an overscan setting on your TV make sure to turn it off. It seems to be on by default on a lot of TVs. What it's doing is cutting the edges of the signal off on all the sides in case of interference, which never happens, so you get a slightly zoomed in version of whatever you're watching and it looks really lovely.

Nintendo's been pretty good about not padding their games as of late, but the amount of unique content in their current games varies from quite extensive to... really quite light.

Other than that, what I've seen of Rainbow Curse looks very good, but it kind of annoys me that Kirby bounces off enemies when dashing into them rather than just boosting right through. Canvas Curse had some really incredible flow in its gameplay, hopefully Rainbow Curse manages to keep hold of that.

I'm hoping the bouncing is a really good traversal tool, letting you reach places you may not be able to by ramming an enemy at the right time or from the right angle.
