Haha oh no, I told my Aunt to set up their Wii U the night before to avoid this, I hope she got around to it early.

She's boned. RIP your aunt. Hopefully won't be as bad as launch day.

Hopefully the Hyrule Warriors costumes are going on sale today, even if it will take forever to buy them.

Oh wait, I mean, I'm so sad they announced on Twitter they were shutting it down for good, citing lack of sales.

So what’s a Virtual Console title worth without a sleep mode, save states, customisable controls, a digital manual and possibly even multiplayer?
That just sounds like playing a GBA game on a DS Lite :shrug:.

So far this has been a far more smoother eShop experience than last year. Looks like Nintendo learned their lesson this time around.

I tested it and it worked well.

Bad parts: Audio out of the Gamepad sounded awful tho, didn't test headphones. It's US only right now and also requires Crunchyroll Premium. Also it requires the gamepad, it turns off any other controllers. So I think you can't turn off the gamepad display while you watch.

They're honestly both pretty newbie friendly. However SMT4 starts out fairly unforgiving and it can seem harder than it really is. It gets much easier after the first couple hours once you've assembled a proper team of demons. But once you've done that it really never gets hard again unless you're going for optional things or DLC. EOU is easier at the beginning and gets a lot harder by the end.

So, at the rate I play, I'm basically set for ages on games, especially when MH4 comes out... But drat am I tempted to grab Phoenix Wright too. I must stop hoarding games.

I managed fine with everything except the underwater fights, but playing those again on Wii U, while better, still aren't that intuitive.

You barely need camera control in Monster Hunter, especially in 3U after they added lock on. It plays perfectly well without it. Some people have issues with the underwater battles but the bottom screen virtual dpad works fine for those.
