I'm playing Tropical Freeze, and I just want to scream to the world that Cranky Kong is extremely my poo poo, and is easily the best of the three partner characters.

Hell yeah he is.

I felt so much shame when I gave up on using him because despite how rad and fun he is I still was dying a ton and needed Dixie to save me the trouble at times. :smith:

I've misunderstood what a lion is.

My gamepad has been acting up the past few days. When I start up the wiiu, the screen acts like there's something touching one particular spot on the screen, and makes using it nearly impossible. If I twist the controller (lightly), it fixes itself a little, and after a few minutes of regular play it works fine again. I haven't dropped it or anything, but it seems like something might be broken in it?

I know goons are generally positive towards Nintendo customer support, but I'd rather not go that route until I have to. Has anyone else had issues like this?

Again a very likpatous story
Dixie makes the other two partners so pointless it's incredible, why do they even exist?

Okay I guess Cranky has SOME use in getting items over spikes but Diddy serves literally no purpose at all.

Whoa, thanks to whoever told me to plan out my moves ahead of time with Captain Toad. I was trying to play it like a mario game, where you want to be constantly in motion all the time.

A lifetime of playing badly designed videogames means I'm forever expecting a cheap hit whenever I enter a corner blindly, but so far Captain Toad's been remarkably pleasant.

its also the most Nintendo thing ever to make a game that looks goddamn great - and then create levels that encourage or outright demand I use the gamepad.

I'm really not sure what to make of Shovel Knight's boss fights. On the one hand, they're properly tense and really do feel appropriately epic.

On the other hand, they almost devolve into my guy and the boss manically hurling projecticles at each other as the screen explodes into a flurry of sprites.

The game keeps on handing me new relics, but I'm still fond of the fire wand just because it doesn't have a weird arc when used. I just took out treasure and plague knight. Having a blast, overal.

There are only a few worlds that really demand you look at the gamepad the whole time and those are the ones with touch sections. But yeah don't play it like a Mario game. You'll die a lot.

To be perfectly honest, even though Arkham Knight looks incredible (best looking of 2015), I just can't shake my head that Splatoon looks even better. I am probably more hyped for Splatoon than any other game this Summer. I've seen the playthroughs of some of the levels, and even the competitive PvP levels and I am excited. The Great Squidening will soon be upon us

Yeah, I think I'm more excited for Splatoon because I'm still not 100% sure what to expect (avoiding gameplay videos on purpose) whereas Arkham Knight looks like it's going to basically be like the other games but turned up in lots of ways. Both games will own, though.

Okay I guess Cranky has SOME use in getting items over spikes but Diddy serves literally no purpose at all.

Diddy shits all over Dixie and Cranky for most water levels in terms of speedrunning (while Cranky is pretty much the safe option for those due to cane attack) and both (but especially Cranky) are better for bosses when you get good at the game.

It's proven that having Diddy for most of 1-2 makes you go faster through that level as well.
