You should start watching Nintendo Directs with us so Reggie can hypnotize you faster.

I bought a Wii U before even Monster Hunter had come out and honestly I blame Reggie but I believed and it all turned out ok.

Went to Best Buy to spend $42 in gift cards I had on Treasure Trackers. The Wii U section was pathetic and 75% Smash Bros. And no Treasure Trackers...

I honestly can't wait for Starfox and Zelda but I have a lot of catching up to do. Shame on me for not believing in Reggie. Shame SHAME!!!!!! Acceptance is the first step

What the gently caress happened to Captain Toad? I unlocked the final final challenge level and its an arduously long action game of "what's behind the blind corner?" which you have to play through the entire thing in one sitting (or play through the first 10 minutes to continue practising the action game dodging of the new elements thrown at you) with heavy reliance on luck and random elements. What the gently caress is this doing in a really tightly designed puzzle game that ends with a bonus book full of artificially difficult inane "find the spots in a level where you can run in a circle" and "now your hitbox is 4 hitboxes, and 3 of them are instadeath" challenges. And why is my Puzzlemaster completion / Visual flourish hidden behind these challenges. I can't believe they seriously thought Mummy-Me at PyroPuff Peak which was poorly designed because you just have to solve a single puzzle the coins floating behind the ladder plate and otherwise look for places to run in circles in the level. Was a good reference point for their final "Puzzle Challenge". The game falls apart pretty heavily in the Bonus Book and I was astounded to be kicked to the ground so hard. The first time I finished MM@PPP I saw the stupid mummy disappear on the ladder and put down the gamepad for a single second. Then the mummy magically re-appeared and I had to redo the drat level. This final stage would make a semblance of sense if they separated it out into 5-10 individual stages and let you be done with a floor after completing it. Then I could at least learn to dodge the fire piranha plants without making my way through Chargin' Chuck and Boo and level layout RNG. The ordering doesn't even make sense, the coconut spitters come after enemies that are harder to deal with. The whole Bonus book feels dumb, its not re-doing levels to fully explore a level and search for the hidden bonus objective or collect every possible coin, Its arbitrarily redoing levels with what effectively boil down to speed constraints. News-flash? time trials are already a feature in all the levels in the game, with tightly defined par times.

I think the Bonus book is fun. If you don't like the final level or it's too hard for you, you don't have to beat it.

I'm going to finish most of the time trials and then send the game off to a friend who hasn't played it yet. The challenge levels at the end of a Mario platformer at least aren't a completely different loving genre of game. This is like turning the last boss fight of Pikmin 3 into an FPS with a Pikmin gun or something.

Hey guys? The Wii U is really sensitive to lightning strikes.  I brought it home for the vacation, and now that I tried to turn it on to play Captain Toad, it refused to turn on. Unplugging and replugging it, nothing helped. It even gave me a weak shock when I touched the USB port while trying to turn it on. I guess I'll have to contact Nintendo and see what they say. e: aw geeze, Nintendo here in Norway is even so tiny that I have to go through the store I bought the console from, to get it sent in for repairs.

What's the verdict on the new Shantae game? It looked like it was getting pretty good reviews and I'm usually up for a good platformer.

Took me 8-10 hours to 100% it, definitely on the easier side of metroidvania games, but definitely a good game. I think it probably should have been priced at $10-15 instead of the $20 that they are asking.

Tips for Captain Toad's last level: You don't need to run to stay ahead of the mummies, they match your speed as well as your movement. Not holding the run button makes it easier to touch enemies on the touchscreen to stun them. If you do have to run, use ZR so you can move the camera around without having to slow down. I haven't beat it yet, but I sure as hell got further after remembering about touching enemies

Everyone has their uses. It's not like Super Mario Bros 2 where one character (Peach) is effectively useless and another character is absurdly overpowered (Luigi; jumps the same distance as Peach floats with extra height for bypassing a lot of levels while picking things up faster).
