I have like all of these games already

Is that it or are they going to give out a physical and tangible reward?.

You missed a part in the middle.



But yeah that's all. Dunno why anyone expected more. Pick up DKC:TF if you don't have that yet.

I was hoping for Wonderful 101 but I guess I can get Mario Golf and use my remaining points for W101 instead.

Moot point, I didn't see Tropical Freeze the first time, so it's that.

Apart from the site being down, of course.

DK Tropical Freeze is 11.4GB, keep that in mind if you want to get it. It's the game that forced me to finally plug in an external harddrive (which was a good idea anyway because now I buy almost everything digitally)

Do you have an external? If not probably not, as I recall it's the largest Wii U game (I don't actually know I buy physical copies of most things).

Both Bayonetta 1 and 2 individually, are larger than Tropical Freeze.

Digital games own and people should get an external drive for their Wii U. I like laying down in bed, turning on the gamepad, and then using my finger to smoosh a big colorful button to choose what game I want to play.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I'd be more interested in Tropical Freeze if I were more interested in DKC and if I had an extra external drive. I don't have any to spare and buying an external drive to hold a free game kind of defeats the purpose of getting a game for free because I don't plan on getting too many digital games.

The demo of that game sucked and it's not the 90s so there are no rental stores.

On the other hand, you're the guy saying Pikmin and Wonderful 101 are not good video games when they are so I think the thread miiiiight be a little skeptical of your opinions.

That said, this is a legitimate opinion, Monster Hunter isn't that great.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

I'm a hardcore Souls/Bloodborne fan and I purchased MH4 when it released to try the series out. It did feel somewhat similar to the Souls games when it came to actually fighting the monsters, except with janky controls and lovely grindy mechanics. I really want to like MH but just can't.

The choice is a no brainer for me, Tropical Freeze is what i'm gonna pick. I really wanted Wind Waker HD though, but i'll just buy that now.

Nice Platinum rewards! The only games I don't have though are Animal Crossing and Mario Party Island Tour. I'm thinking I'll go with Animal Crossing....

Was hoping Wind Waker would be an option, guess I'll finally buy it now.

I'll explain. Monster Hunter is a series of games that consists of grinding the same areas over and over again and fighting damage sponge bosses repeatedly for incrementally better weapons, like an MMO. The games also have absurdly bad controls.

This is why it doesn't make sense to me that people like Monster Hunter. I play a lot of MMO's and I don't like Monster Hunter.
