It's not controversial, it just takes 10 pages.

It's a hard game with a steep learning curve and a really loving bonkers batshit crazy third act that is one of the best things in gaming. If you'd played it you would understand why people who are into this game don't shut up about it.

Jesus, this is the biggest loving offender of the bolted-on waggle control horseshit. DKC Returns was loving unbearable for me on the Wii. And not just me; my mother, the biggest Wii apologist in the world, couldn't get over the dumb lovely waggle, and she forced herself through loving Skyward Sword. It's unbelievable that using a Pro Controller wasn't an option in DKC Returns.

And there's no excuse for keeping the waggle in that goddamn game because Tropical Freeze came out on the Wii U, which is basically a DKC Returns expansion pack, and there isn't a single loving waggle in sight, so any horseshit about how the waggle was central to the gameplay or FUN is completely disingenuous.

I'm glad I got to play DKC Returns on the 3DS using loving normal-rear end controls, but shame having to play it on a tiny rear end screen with crampariffic controls.

Please stop playing video games before Nintendo decides that Star Fox shouldn't have Slippy in it or something and you have an aneurism.

When SEO just isn't enough.
So I've got about 16Gb of internal storage left on my Wii U, but my Wii Mode storage is only something like 650 blocks, which I don't think equates to anywhere near that same amount of storage? Is the Wii data capped or something?

You need an SD card for Wii mode storage.

Eh I'm a hardcore Platinum fanboy trust me, I bought a Wii U mainly for Bayonetta 2. But MG Rising, Bayonetta, Vanquish and even the Clover stuff in the capcom days all immediately clicked with me. It could just be a bad demo but with most Platinum games even the demo is enough to get me really excited.

I will probably get around to playing it at some point. It's just further down the queue of Wii U stuff I wanna buy now.

Thanks for the walls of text though I might relay the demo with that in mind.

Edit: also I kind of went into this expecting Viewtiful Joe which is probably my fault

Nintendo just needs to go third party.


For real, though, it always kind of puzzles me to hear the issues people had with TW101's demo, especially since it was really the first game I ever played in that genre. I guess I had to replay it one time to actually feel like I knew what I was doing, but it was better than the MH3U demo, where I had a ton of items and no clue what they did, the buttons that did things weren't explained and so I just had to press every single button on the controller and sort of hope that I eventually got it (even after I started playing the game proper and had everything explained, the controls still took a little getting used to), and the camera had these very strange controls I'd never experienced in any game, ever.

Beyond MH3U and waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles X, what other Wii/Wii U singleplayer RPGs should I get? eShop is preferred.

Between New Super Mario Bros U and Smash, the couch multiplayer is amazing.

What's the order in which I should go through my Wii U Platinum games haul? I have Bayo 1, 2, and W101. I'm tempted to do the Bayonettas first just because I hear that W101 is more polished overall. Plus I liked the demo after playing through it a few times to get the hang of it. :)

You have to play through Bayonetta 1 before Bayonetta 2 just because B2 plays better while having a worse end boss. So you need to play B1 to play the glorious ending, but you won't be constantly distracted by how it doesn't play as nice as the sequel. Then you play W101 because you can get a breather in between the two. Then enjoy B2.

It's not the official one, but it's from Mayflash and it should have the same functionality.

Plus there are little nods to W101 in Bayo 2. So yeah, that's the correct order.

There are lots of mobile charging station backpacks, but one with an actual outlet would be interesting. Even better, a DC plug for the WiiU.

Amiibo sales are 2.6 million.

Lifetime software sales on Nintendo consoles is 4.4 billion.
