Nintendo made an official rechargeable battery and charger for the Wii Remote, but it's a bit pricy. $40 at the US online Nintendo store, and $50 to import it from Play-Asia. It only comes in black.

The PS2 singlehandedly kept 3d platformers alive with Sly Cooper, Jax, and Ratchet and Clank. They're not all amazing games (the first ratchet and clank suffers from terrible controls), but that's NINE really drat good platformers. I think its drat near impossible to try and compare game consoles across generations: Hardly anything from the nintendo 64 era holds up, at all. But try and play any PS1 game and you'll run into similarly terrible problems. So far, the Wii U hasn't just delivered the annual entries in longrunning franchises - there's a good argument to be made that they're the best entries in the franchise. Smash Wii U might actually be better than Melee, Mario Kart 8 is the best console entry, etc etc. I mean, good lord - Smash and Mario kart and bayonetta 2 and tropical freeze and captain toad? In 12 months?

I think you need a wiimote for some of the minigames in Nintendoland. Nintendo's online store sells refurb wiimote plus with a nunchuck for $25 though, which is a good price.

BigRed0427 posted:I also got a Link figure. Kind of wish they picked a pose that didn't require that clear piece to be there to keep him up. They matched the amiibo poses to the Smash Bros roster art renders. This is a pretty telling decision, because there's no way all those "needs massive supports" poses would have been approved if that had been the intention all along.

Yeah, seriously. I mean look at this secret character's art, he's going to need quite a bit of support the way he was rendered. Spoiled just in case.

I am ashamed of myself for leaving Mario Kart 8 on the shelf while I LPed bad games, it's freaking fantastic. My 6 and 10 year old cousins were very excited that there were more babies too.

So now that I finally have a pro controller and it's battery of eternity, I was wondering... Is it really necessary to only charge it from the Wii U? I see Nintendo recommends not using a PC or any other device. My Wii U is pretty close to where I sit, so it's kind of annoying to charge and play at the same time. Also drat. I put a few hours into Bayo 1 before making the switch from gamepad to pro controller. The slightly different hand positioning is taking a little getting used to, as I keep hitting the pad as though it were rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Ultigonio posted:I believe I've heard people say they've had no issue charging their pro controller with a computer or one of those wall sockets for a phone, but I could be misremembering. I'm not entirely sure why Nintendo would recommend otherwise, honestly. My initial charges for all my pro controllers were off my PC. Nintendo is probably just playing it safe by officially only recommending charging off your console, so they don't get threatened with a lawsuit when someone uses some shoddy dollar store wall charger and blows up the battery or something. They can just point to the documentation and say "hey, yeah, we told them not to do it"

I vaguely remember the Wii balance board being updated somewhat, but I can't find any info on that actually happening. Am I misremembering or has the balance board just been the same thing over the years? Also, is there a black one? Where can I buy a black one.

Yeah that guy doesn't know what he's talking about--the tablet is a great controller. If I was going to get extra controllers I would get the pro controllers not wii motes (although I have like 4 wiimotes, 2 pro controllers and some random stuff since I also had the original wii.) There are some other good Mario games for Wii U, and the wii Mario Galaxy games are amazing if you've never played them. I'm sure you could pick those games up cheap. Get mario kart. ascii genitals fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Dec 28, 2014 |

Looper posted:Stylus controls reign supreme How so? Last I played the only way to retreat/throw pikmin at the same time was with the Wii-Mote/Nunchuck and that's super super useful and quick as hell. Also unrelated but got to the last bit of Captain Toad (well the end of book 3 anyway) and noticed some horrible HORRIBLE screen tearing on the gamepad during the Golden Realm level and a few after it. The audio would get kinda crackly and the screen would split horizontally across the middle, top half struggling to animate properly and bottom half being a still image. It would go away after a second but still. Does the gamepad do that if it's having trouble connecting to the console? I'm only about a foot or two away at most but I'm hoping it's some bizarre glitch and nothing serious.

I can think of literally one Wii U game that you can't play using the gamepad at all and that's virtual console Duck Hunt, for the obvious reason of "how would that work?"

Goddamn that's an angry post about plastic dolls. Anyways there's an Amiibo thread (link's in the OP) where the Americans complain about how rare everything is, if you're in Europe/Japan you can buy them at MSRP everywhere.
