You can play it fine with the Gamepad, although a Pro Controller is way better

Just wanted to add that Kirby and the Rainbow Curse amiibo support works with Kirby, Meta Knight, and Dedede

Kirby gives Clay Kirby the enlarging power-up in a course to use whenever

Metaknight gives him a spinning attack it seems (and Meta Knights mask)

King Dedede gives you a bunch of hp and Dedede's Hat.

I can't tell if they've managed to perfectly emulate claymation using 3D modeling or they actually spent the time to clay-animate everything in this game, but either way that's downright impressive. And cute.

Here's a summary of the new info from the video:
-28 stages plus 40 challenge stages
-Unlockable character trophies, sound test, etc
-Kirby/Dedede/Meta Knight Amiibos unlock some (probably broken) perks for Kirby: unlimited star powerup, Meta Knight mask/dash attack, Dedede mask/health buff

There's also footage of the multiplayer mode (p2/3/4 play as Waddle Dees), the different transformation gimmicks, etc.

JP price is 3700yen, which is the same price tier as Captain Toad, so it seems like it might be a $40 game in the US.

God loving drat it, this console. So much for Nintendo's refurb quality. I was playing some Smash with my brother over Christmas on a big screen HDMI TV, and suddenly right at the end of a match the signal to the TV dies. I figure the TV is just futzed up, and turn the system off via the gamepad. Then later I play some Hyrule Warriors on the gamepad, so it's clear that the system itself still works, and I think nothing of it. I get back home tonight and plug everything back in, and oh hey my HDMI monitor won't get any signal from the Wii U no matter what resolution settings I use. Guess I get to call Nintendo about this tomorrow during what will probably be one of their busiest service days of the year! Hopefully they will be able to handle this a bit better than when it first arrived, and it took them a literal end-to-end month to replace my broken-out-of-the-box Gamepad! :suicide:



I currently have both my game data and save files for Smash Bros. and Hyrule Warriors on an external hard drive. I can't fit both on the console's internal memory at the same time. Assuming Nintendo tells me to ship the console back in, is there any way to keep my save files intact? If they send me a new system, will it just recognize the data on the external and let me pick up where I left off? Am I just going to need to pick one save file to transfer to the Wii U for saving and give up on the other one?

I never really get that, but that might be from having grown up in a time where basically any new game was at least $60. I don't mind paying less for games but if a game is engaging and captivating and current I have no qualms paying full price. The $40 price for Captain Toad felt like a bargain to me because I had expected it to be full price when it was announced.

To those of you who played SNES era games and can handle a platformer that is tough in some parts (like Donkey Kong Country tough) get the Shantae game ("Shantae and the Pirate's Curse".) It's $20, but I am really really loving this game. Except for the conversation stills (those are HD), someone from the year 1994 would totally believe it was a modern era game.

So, if you like platformers I say get this. The game also doesn't take itself seriously, so it has a small hint of "Paper Mario" self awareness.

But all of that aside, the game is enough of a challenge and fun to play so get it!

Does me buying Shantae make me a cute gamer?

I'm not yet a cute gamer because Captain Toad isn't out here until next Friday :mad:

Also isn't that Kirby game not coming out in Europe until May or some bullshit. Or am I thinking of Yoshi's Woolly World?

e: Also I didn't get any video games for Christmas, but I very rarely do. My mother did get Layton x Wright though, and my nephew got the latest Skylanders money printing machine.

I have Shantae on the 3DS and made it more than halfway through and I'm gonna toss out a contrary opinion, i.e. that the game actually isn't very good.

I hope these kind of well-executed smaller titles like Shantae, Stealth Inc. 2, and Armillo will be successful, because it would be great to see more games like them.

It is about as good as we're going to get. By default there is a visible cross hair but thankfully you can press a button on the d-pad to turn off the cross hair and make the game feel much more like the original game.

It is worth the $4.99 if you already have a Wii Remote lying around. It's Duck Hunt! Everyone should buy this; especially if you have young children. They all need to play Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros.

Also, the Wii Remote makes a sound out of its internal speaker to simulate the "click" sound the NES Zapper made when you fired it :mario: :yotj:

It really looks like they are all made out of clay. I like the look. I don't think Kirby was that much of a jerk. You have to realize Kirby is like a baby with magic powers. He isn't actively a jerk, he just kind of doesn't fully take in his surroundings and/or the feelings of others.

In other news, I saw this in one of the related videos (from the same uploader) and this can't be real right? I mean, how could this possible be a game at all? It looks professionally made, is this kind of stuff "okay" in Japan?

Clown move bro
Captain Toad was a steal for $40. I'm already into book 2 and my only regret about the game is that I'm probably going to finish it in the next week because once I find the time to sit down and play it, I keep saying "one more level."

My brother wanted to play DKC Tropical Freeze in multiplayer and that game seems a bit rough to get used to controlling, especially if you were expecting it to play like the SNES DKC games. I told him if the SNES games taught me anything, it was pick Dixie, so of course he went with Diddy. After the 2nd boss fight, we were both ready to put it down out of frustration. I think I'll come back to this one when I'm more used to using the gamepad and when I can play solo. I still have Super Mario 3D World and Bayonetta 1 and 2.

We went searching through our old stuff at our parents house and found his Wii, my Gamecube + GBA player, and a bunch of games for both systems. I know I can just play the Wii games on the Wii U, but what's this about playing Gamecube games on the Wii U I'm reading in the previous pages? I will probably end up attaching the Gamecube anyway for the GBA player, but it would be awesome to not have to hook up more things to my TV.
