I think I'm actually catching up before the holidays. I just finished DKC: Tropical Freeze with 100%. Those last three levels, 7-1 to 7-3, were actually probably my favorite in the whole game. Also, the only thing you get for 100% is hard mode? I'm done with the game at this point. Also, the last guy wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be.

It was kinda neat playing the whole game as Dixie.

Nintendo is actually planning on selling Wii U Gamecube adapters again, right? This isn't like with Amiibos where some are a one-time thing; Nintendo actually plans on putting out the adapters again at some point, correct? I can't find any solid proof, and people as of today are still paying $100 for it on eBay so I don't know what to think.

I put in a preorder for a new batch from Gamestop a few weeks ago, so I assume they're making more. I'd link it, but they sold out in like 2 hours.

I will never 100% Tropical Freeze, if that means collecting all KONG letters and puzzle pieces. I feel like I never want to play most of the non-platforming levels again, let alone multiple times to hunt down collectibles. According to GameFAQs, I need to collect all KONG letters in any given island/world to unlock the K level, and then beat all of the K levels to unlock the 7th world? Nope gently caress it. Alright, maybe I can handle the letters, but gently caress the puzzle pieces. The K level in the first world was satisfying, but a real pain in the rear end. I can only assume they get worse from there.

You can safely ignore puzzle pieces if all you want to do is open up more levels. On the other hand though, unlike the KONG letters, you can die and the puzzle piece will still be collected. They don't reset like the KONG letters do

Well, there were other factors (Xbone flop, PS4 not having any really good exclusives on it for what looks like another six months at minimum, Nintendo strong showing in 2014 E3, Bayonetta 2 getting rave reviews at launch) but it was W101 that made me go from "why would I buy a Wii U" to "drat, this game looks fun as hell, I'd better buy the console at some point or I'll be missing out". Turns out I was right.

You only need to do the Kong letters, the K levels and world 7 to get 100%. You don't have to collect a single puzzle piece to get 100%. The K levels can be very frustrating, so if you were frustrated with the regular levels as is, enough to not want to play them again, I'm going to say you'll break your controller trying to do the 6 K levels. Every time I finished a K level and went back to regular levels, it was like a walk in the park.

eShop updates for most of November and December have been pretty crappy. You would think that leading up to the holiday season, they would have had their best stuff to release.

I was worried it was another "Gamecube component cable" situation where they make it once and that's it because they think it's a niche product or something. I didn't know if Nintendo officially said they were going to release it again.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I read on their actual site that you get more actually. Bayo 1 "counts" as a $30 purchase with a discount applied. Maybe it works differently in practice who knows. You only get credit for what you actually spend, so 499 points for Bayo 2 and 99 points for Bayo 1 (or whatever it is if you buy them in the other order). Similarly, if you buy an NES title that you had on the Wii, you only get 10 points since you only spent $1, rather than 49 points off the full $4.99 price tag.

So I see a bunch of really swell games up in the OP. Anyone have any recommendations for Co-Op games that are fun for both someone who isn't terrible at games and also for a counter-part who might as well be wearing mittens and a helmet with chin-strap when it comes to gaming?

Hyrule Warriors is a great game for a co-op partner to just mash a button and make awesome stuff happen. You have to be into those kind of musou brawler games though.

Also play with them, don't rush ahead.

The GameCube was the first to get resident evil 4. As with all nintendo consoles I'm sure it'll turn into Nintendo Games Only soon enough.

It's only on the Wii Shop Channel through the Wii Mode on your console but World of Goo is a joy of a puzzler to play and has very easy to learn mechanics and co-op.
