A classic controller will also let you play gamecube games if you install the homebrew application, FWIW.

I'm playing Luigi's Mansion that way, at the moment. What a bizarre little game.

Amazingly, you can install homebrew and get your Wii to play GameCube games with a Classic Controller, and you still don't have to pirate anything. Wow!

Besides that, the whole reason you brought it up to begin with was in regards to Super Mario Sunshine, not Luigi's Mansion, and SMS's final level is notorious for being really really really stupid.

Anyway, I think I might bite the bullet and buy Treasure Tracker. Part of me feels like it will eventually be a $20 game due to always being on sale (like ZombiU) but its charm is something I need in my life.

I just 100% complete Captain Toad yesterday, and it took me 15 hours. If you're willing to get every last drop of replayability out of it that you can (barring replays in the distant future because it's a compact, easy-to-enjoy experience), you should hopefully feel like you got your money's worth. If, however, you only want to play to get to the final boss, then I would highly recommend against picking the game up.

I'm a 100% complete type of person, so I'll more than likely replay levels until it's 100, move on, rinse and repeat. But I don't really play games that often AFTER I 100% complete them.

I went to Wal-Mart to price match Lego City Undercover. I picked it up for $30 (sweet!). Then I noticed they had Sin & Punishment for $50 and Epic Mickey 2 for Wii for $20. I look over and see Epic Mickey 2 for Wii U for $10, so I snagged that too. I'm not sure why they charging that much for those two? In all fairness I saw Other M going for $50 a few months ago. I paid 2.50 for that to see just how flavorful it was. I paid 2.49 too much for it, I wouldn't imagine dropping $50 on that turd.

Edit: Lego City was completely worth the investment. I love GTA, but this has so much going for it.

Eh, I'm not going to complain. 10 bucks isn't that bad of a loss. If it's really that bad I can give it away to one of my cousins who doesn't have a Wii U for an Xmas or bday present.

I honestly don't know what to say about Wonderful 101 other than it made me feel really really cool and it's a unique take on the genre, as far as I'm aware.

Speaking of Captain Toad, the game's soundtrack is getting posted up on YouTube, so if you're looking to enjoy some Captain Toad tracks sans the actual game, it'll be there when you look for it!
In addition, Digital Foundry posted up their technical review of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which you can check out here. As the game essentially has the tech of 3D World (but refined), it's no surprise they praise it pretty heavily.

This game simply does not drop frames - at all.

Do you think you are Wonderful enough to save the world? If the answer is yes, then buy it. If no, then you need a self-esteem boost and should buy it.

I finally bought Captain Toad and yo guys please buy Captain Toad. It's such a cute fun little puzzler. It really feels like there's a lot of content. (Gonna spoil some of this since it's still a new game)

I got a whole stack of bonus levels for having a 3D World save that I guess I'll tackle in the post game. And apparently there is a pretty big postgame? And two more main books? aaaaaaaa

I play like a chapter a day so I don't feel it's getting in the way of other games I'm playing and it's a great little cute pick me up.
