Yeah, had 2 rare transformations. One was a statue of Marx and Magolor, other was Dark Mind and Drawcia



16 transformations in all and they're all ranked by color in rarity. There's normal/stone colored. Then Silver (Had stuff like mass attack kirbies, the lor starcutter, ultra sword Kirby) and finally gold which is the two I posted, the Hal Logo and 8-bit Kirby with the Dream Rod.

That is amazing.

You have no idea how hyped I got when this happened.

I feel sad whenever I hear people say "I finished storymode so the game is over and I stopped" because they don't realize they're missing out on like 4-5 bosses and they are all the best.

Edit: If you own triple deluxe please don't ignore Dedede's Tour. If you don't own Triple Deluxe please buy Triple Deluxe.

Dededetour was great, but the final level was exhausting. It was like the size of the entire game before it. Or at least the length, according to my file's times.

It's pretty long as it's all the EX levels strung together without a break. That means 7-8 levels without stopping and I don't remember how many skips are in it.

Least you're rewarded with more new bosses, and then rewarded with another mode that hides the true final-final boss.

Even just the normal final EX level is exhausting in the main game. It may be the longest level I've played in a Nintendo platformer.

I agree entirely, skeletons are cool as hell and don't have to be bad guys, i can get owned by them in lots of ways that aren't getting punched a bunch, like having... a moving story that i can relate to...!!

All of the upcoming games for this year look amazing. I'm normally not a fan FPS, but Splatoon looks like it's going to be ridiculous amounts of fun. I wonder how much voice chat there will be? I'm curious if I'll hear 7 year olds throw out racial slurs and homophobic epithets when they get owned.

Has there been any word on Fatal Frame coming over here yet?

Got a few questions about how to go about playing Wii VC games on a Wii U:

- Is it possible to buy Wii VC games via Wii Mode?
- I bought a couple of Wii VC games in the past on my old Wii - is there any way to redownload them on my Wii U, or will I need to buy them all over again? My Club Nintendo account is linked to my console if that helps. (And if I do have to buy games again to get it on my Wii U, will they be registered to my account going forward?)
- I have a Wii U Pro Controller - will I be able to use this to play Wii VC games, or will I need to get a Wii Classic Controller?

Thank you!

  • No.
  • Yes. Get the Wii Transfer Tool on the Wii Shop Channel and follow the steps. You'll need a SD card to make the transfer if you don't already own one.
  • No. You'll need a Wiimote and Classic Controller to play anything in Wii Mode. The newer controllers operate on a wireless frequency instead of Bluetooth like the Wiimotes, so the Wii can't "see" them at all.

No, you see, the game title isn't SMT X FE, it's the SMT design team and FE team fighting to the death for a single release. The fight's still going on, and whoever's still alive at the end gets their game funded.

But yeah trdn89, if you still have your Wii you can do a transfer to your WiiU, it'll copy the licences for your Wii games, and you'll be able to re-download them from the Shop Channel in Wii Mode. if the game in question also exists on the WiiU eShop, you can "upgrade" it for a special upgrade price, which will let you use a Pro Controller (or play on the Gamepad).

I just searched through my apartment, and it looks like I sold my old Wii - does that mean the old purchases are gone, or is there a way to recover them somehow (perhaps by contacting Nintendo's support)? Sorry if this has been covered; I've heard lots of anecdotes about Nintendo restoring past eshop purchases for 3DSes sold before the owner could transfer ownership of software purchases, but I can't recall any about this particular situation.

1) they only started doing that properly after the implementation of the NNID (which the Wii entirely lacks)
2) before that they would give store credit to rebuy stuff for a broken/stolen system if you could prove that was the case

Make combat sluggish and then base your weapon and armor system on micro managing how much more sluggish that combat becomes, and TAH-DAH!!! Apparently that makes an A+ game!
How is DS combat sluggish? When you attack, you have a small amount of time where you are vulnerable(recovery animation) so if you misjudge when to attack, you can be punished for it. The exact same principle makes up the backbone of all fighting games
