For the record, the games on other systems: Xbox One: None PS4: The Last of Us Remastered Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- PS Vita: Persona 4 Golden Rayman Origins Machinarium LittleBigPlanet PS Vita Rayman Legends Tearaway Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster (Also Hotline Miami and Terraria, but they're basically Steam ports) So if anyone tries to claim that OOT3D/Bayo1/WWHD don't count because they're remakes tell them that cutting out remakes drops the other side to 4. Also I don't think they counted Rayman Legeds for Vita, since it's on both, but technically it's available there.

Why are Prelude to Episode 1, 2, and 3 in the Bonus book? That is not cute at all. It is silly but not cute.

Captain Toad gets really hard in the third book. The first level killed me a few times. This game is starting to get uncute.

The thing is I asked my family to get me eshop credit for christmas and was going to use it to buy Captain Toad, so if it turns out that it's available early from everywhere except Nintendo themselves then I'll be somewhat upset. Although I guess I can still use the credit for Splatoon later

You could just sell the cards for a dollar below retail and then buy the game at some retailer.

Did they recently add a visual filter for the SNES Virtual Console games? I know the NES ones always had a "retro" filter that made them look a little blurry and dim, but I thought the SNES games were still bright and sharp. But I'm playing Kirby Super Star now and it looks very dim when I'm playing it, but if I touch the screen to make a restore point the thumbnail looks bright and sharp. Very strange and frustrating.

NES games don't have a "retro" filter applied, they're just scaled ineptly. Straight bilinear scale from 240 to 1080, which causes pixel edges to blur. SNES games still look fine for me.

The retro filter on the NES games has nothing to do with the pixel edges. The colors are several shades darker than they should be and Nintendo said that they did it deliberately to look more like CRT tech.

The colors are several shades darker than they should be and Nintendo said that they did it deliberately to look more like CRT tech. When did Nintendo ever say this? This is the first I'm hearing of it being intentional, and it doesn't explain why they didn't do the same for SNES games. Also, the blurring actually contributes to the sense of dimness. When white text on a black background is made blurrier, for example, you get grey blended pixels that affect the sense of contrast. Colours "pop" less all around because of it.

Thanks for the help, guys. I couldn't find any externally powered WDs, but the 1tb Seagate costs as much as the 500gb WDs I was looking at, so I'm all over that. Got it in my Amazon wish list for future reference now.

One more quick question for you guys, do the wii u pro controllers come with a bit of a charge on them? I'm assuming they do, but if not I might open those up and charge em before Christmas morning so everyone can smash it up

You can just plug them into any USB port to charge though.

It should definitely have some juice.

The second one I bought had probably been sitting in some stockroom for months on end because it had no charge to it at all, but once they're juiced up they last forever.

So I got my new wii-u and it thankfully is running super great. The paranoia is in me though about those claims of smash bricking newer consoles. Did anyone find out what the actual problem was or is that still unknown as the last I heard was "it certainly isn't smash alone doing it."
