In double dash there were giant items like the bowser shell and banana as well as waves of fire and other stupid horseshit. There wasn't a railing in the middle either and you had 7 laps so entire time normal shells and bowser shells were ping-ponging loving everywhere and it was chaos.

They brought it back in DS and it sucked because it went to 5 laps and there were no such crazy items

Now it's back again and it has rails in the middle locking out the only unique thing about it so it's junk.

I hope it's 3 laps.

leave it to Nintendo to make big brass bands and saxophones super loving cool again.

Also, discovering T-square and Casiopea was one of the best life changing musical moments, god do I loving love Japanese big band jazz-fusion, it's such a shame no other country tried something on that level.

Also, have a 10 minute T-square song, the first 5 minutes is a loving Bass Solo.

I like how he admitted he was lying but actually wasn't.

I also love how the GBA courses are practically just entirely new courses, the way they've been redone.

One Nation, Under God.
Here are some patch notes for the next Mario Kart 8 update (out April 23, alongside the DLC):

-9 new Amiibo costumes for your Mii (Sonic, Megaman, Pacman, Olimar, Villager, Wario, Toad, Rosalina, Bowser)

-200CC class! It'll be automatically unlocked for all the multiplayer modes but you'll need to clear the 150cc GP to do the 200cc GP. (If you brake while drifiting in 200cc, sparks will fly off your wheels.)

-You can now brake while drifting with the Wiimote by pressing B+1+2

-You can toggle the on-screen map display when playing with alternate controllers by pressing the minus button (Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wiimote/Nunchuk)

-You can now toggle CPU players for online custom racers, but only human players count towards the score

-10 new Miiverse stamps

-unspecified bugfixes

They also said the Animal Crossing DLC track will have random seasons during standard play but will be locked to summer during time trials.

I hope a bug fix is losing the ability to hurry up the item roulette that I have sometimes. That poo poo is critical at 150cc

Just bought myself a Zelda Wind Waker Wii U. Some buyers remorse, but a few questions:

1. Do I have to de-softmod my Wii before I can transfer over my purchases N64 and WiiWare purchases?

2. Is there any point to actually transferring over my purchases if I plan on keeping the Wii around?

1. Nope. My Wii's still softmodded and you can even softmod the vWii in the Wii U later on if you so choose (Some things are a bit different though)

2. Discounts on VC games you already own that are available in the Wii U eShop is the primary reason.

That's good to hear. Don't want to go through the process of de-softmodding the Wii. However, if or when I do the transfer, I take it my Wii will be factory reset? A bit like transferring your data from one 3DS to another 3DS?

If you have it softmodded and did NAND backups you can actually completely restore the Wii to its pre-transfer state so long as you don't try to use the Shop Channel afterwards.

Not quite. All it really does is move your saves and anything bought on the eshop. Anything else you've added to the console will remain (such as the Homebrew Channel). The eshop will be reset and your purchases/purchase history will be permanently moved to the Wii U's virtual Wii.

They slashed the price and don't even sell it on the eShop, I dunno what the gently caress is wrong with them. If anything, they should be adding new games every few months a la Mario Kart.

Can't get Smash 4 to update. Launching the game from the menu just goes "launching.." and then starts the game instead of pulling up a patch download like Hyrule Warriors when it got a patch. I know it not updated since it says 1.02 in the main menu.

It's a shame too because it's such a perfect example of a game I'd want digitally to bring up quickly for a few rounds. I'm thinking of getting rid of my copy of Wii Party U since I can get it digitally as a reward for the same reason.

Even if it sold "well," it probably sold soooo far below their forecast that they basically dumped it. They clearly were positioning it to be the Wii Sports of the Wii U. Wii Sports has sold around 80 million units by now, and Nintendoland under 4.

It's a shame, because it's a great party game and a solid showcase of both the Wii U's abilities and the company's IP. Nintendo Land sold a friend of mine on the system after a single night of play. I bought it in anticipation of spending a weekend at a friend's vacation house and figured it would be a good distraction for an hour or two. Cut to 3 AM Saturday night, and 5 grown men are being chastised by people trying to sleep because we're still up playing Luigi's Ghost Mansion and screaming like schoolchildren.
