Macaluso posted:Yep, probably because it doesn't have as much content (although from what they've shown it seems to have plenty for loving 40 bucks) I feel like they lowered the price because they know a lot of people will see almost nothing but small cubic levels (not that there's anything wrong with that) and scoff at the idea of paying full price. I'd be happier with $30, but gently caress it, it's a first party Nintendo game. It'll be good.

Well, that sucks.Not a Children posted:Not to go all BFC on you but just because you have more credit doesn't make it a good idea to use it. Having a higher loan cap just means the credit companies think you can afford to keep yourself afloat while further in the hole I know.  It's a very small amount of the limit increase I got and I'm lucky to buy more than 3 games a year anymore.Now I wish I didn't sell all of my GameCube stuff all those years ago. Maybe I'll pick up a proper controller later on. Spending another $40 on a GameCube controller and an adapter or another $50 on a Pro controller don't sit well with me.

Auron posted:Has anyone tried one of the eBay Wii U Pro Controller knock offs? How do you like it and is it very similar to the actual product, fit, finish and battery life? I'm looking at this one in particular, it seems to have a lot of sales: I can't check the link but I got a knockoff Pro Controller a while back from eBay. The left stick gets stuck easily, making a lot of movement unnecessarily hard. And it was considered defective enough that Gamestop wouldn't even accept it. Go for play-asia if you want pro controllers.

A lot of people in this thread like The Wonderful 101. If you did like it, which games would you compare it to? I am now curious.

Definitely not Pikmin, which seems to be the prevailing comparison made by people who've never played either game. W101 is an action game in the vein of Bayonetta, more or less. It's different in a lot of ways that make it less intuitive than Bayonetta or other action games but it's still something you can blow through on the easier difficulty settings without too much effort, and there's a ton of content and spectacle. It fits the same niche on Wii U that Kid Icarus Uprising fills on 3DS, I think. It makes use of the gamepad in a lot of different ways including two-screen sections, but there are standard controls for everything and you can do everything screen-in-screen with a pro controller if you'd prefer.

Particularly Viewtiful Joe because of the "loving parody" attitude and because everything feels like flailing until it suddenly clicks.

In practice the drawing mechanic of Okami is nothing like the drawing mechanic of W101. Just like how the game actually isn't anything like Pikmin at all.

It's similar to Okami in that every boss feels like it should be the final boss but isn't, but it's different to Okami in that you're actually glad when it doesn't end.

I wouldn't go about arguing that TW101 is like Okami, but I'd definitely bet that part of the reason W101's drawing works as well as it does it because they had Okami to look back on.

You can tell they learned a lot about what did and did not work when they revisited the general concept. For example, "don't make everything a circle." The Wii controls actually can be pretty quick once you get used to some of the more finicky brush techniques. Flicking the wrist for a line or circle can take like a second.

Speaking of Platinum, Nintendo just needs to make a 2-minute long commercial cut of the boss fight from Chapter IV of Bayonetta 2 for the holiday season, and the money printing machine will start rolling out of control. enojy fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Nov 19, 2014 |

I'm still mad about Sportsball. I called customer service and tried to get a refund because it doesn't have any kind of single player mode, despite the eshop entry saying it was for "up to 5 players." They wouldn't give me my money back, but I asked them to update the info on the eshop, which they now have. Now it reads "1-5 players" which is arguably worse.

It is so rare to find a game that isn't an MMO outright that features no single player mode, you would think they'd want to do all they could to make sure that was very clear.
