Looked into it and found out their also hinting at something Nintendo exclusive that's a MEGATON announcement. I'm curious to what that could be.

mii costumes are cool so if they don't want to make Shovel Knight an actual character it would be pretty rad to get a swordfighter mii outfit with a shovel and stuff rather than nothing

hell, they should do a set of indie game mii outfits like they did the fighting game ones. tekken and virtua fighter mii costumes got in even though those games have no other representation. shantae and shovel knight and the other weird requests could be a good big 3rd party mii outfit pack

Disagree, I think 5 years is too short, but I, too, am looking forward to the NX.

I think the long xbox/ps3/wii generation has warped people's perceptions a bit. The Gamecube lasted 6 years before the Wii succeeded it.

How is Arkham Origins on Wii U? I have it both on Wii U and Steam, but would prefer to play it on the U as long as there are not any huge issues with it.

I personally think the Wii U version is great. It's honestly really nice being able to glance down at the map, tap the screen to set a waypoint, and be able to quickly navigate to that part of the city. On other versions I found my self constantly flipping back and forth between the game and the map to orientate myself.

Third party games, ironically, use the Gamepad in more useful ways than Nintendo does. Deus Ex HR is like x100 better with touchscreen menu + drag n drop inventory management.

A lot of the costumes are really good and cool like Protoman, I mean yeah it sucks that each costume is locked to one of three playstyles but at least all the Sword outfits have been poo poo so I don't have to buy or use those, since Sword is the worst character in the game

You can race as Hitler in Mario Kart. I'd presume they're disallowed because they only have custom move sets and no default.

It's weird that you can't use Mii Fighters online because you can upload and share them with players you don't know who can download and play as them

If there was no online use for mii fighters at all it would make sense, or if everything was allowed with them it would make sense, but this half and half is just weird

Seriously though who did they put in charge of policing Miiverse Stage posts? Did they not expect the wave of detailed penis drawings and 9/11 references? Why didn't they spend six months collecting GOOD miiverse drawings for it?

If it was that they'd just make you use the default faces/have them show up as defaults on the other player's screen.

A future Mii costume that's just the Crash Bandicoot guy costume from the old PSX ads even though there's no other Activision representation whatsoever in Smash.

If you read this before you move forward, know that the Wii U version got none of the DLC if you wanted to look into that and play the Mr. Freeze mission. Didn't get the multiplayer either, but I don't think anyone still plays that anyway.

I liked it for this stuff too - changing waypoints while you're mid glide above the city will never get old for me. But I was miffed that some of the more interesting Gamepad functions from the Wii U version of Arkham City didn't make it in.

What's the easiest way to get snapshots from my Wii U to the internet because I have screencap proof that there are some extremely Cool and Good drawings on the stage already.

Hit the Home button at the right time, use the U's Internet Explorer option, go to imgur, and upload a screenshot of whatever you paused at.
