Still gonna pick it up b/c we all like dynasty/samurai warriors and we'll probably still play it single player. Appreciate the warning on the multiplayer though.Silver Falcon posted:Definitely pick up New Super Mario Brothers U or Super Mario 3D World, or both! Both game allow up to 4 players, each controlling a different character. In 3D World, each of the characters have slightly different abilities, while in NSMBU they're all functionally the same. Both are great fun and are also a great single player experience! Cool! I imagine it'll be pretty great to have three people over and have us all yell at each other as we cause each other to fall into pits and poo poo. Didn't know 3d world had multiplayer so i'm deffo gonna get that. What's hot on the coming soon docket? Anything interesting? oh poo poo yeah i should probably pick up splatoon too

just a heads up: if you buy Mario Maker from Best Buy on 9/11 you can get a $20 discount on Mario Kart/Smash/Splatoon.

for the record the single player of HW is hella sick and just passing it around for people to mess with is awesome. make sure you download the DLC characters too, like Tingle.

Splatoon is amazing, but doesn't really offer anything on the local-multiplayer side. Yoshi's Woolly World is coming up soon, Pokken Tournament is coming next spring and Star Fox Zero looks like it'll have co-op

Nintendoland's Mario chase game was my top gaming experience since Rock Band came out for multiplayer. And maybe the most outright fun I've had in a long time with a game.

It may or may not have a co-op mode with one player on the gamepad and one with another controller but if it does it'll basically be splitting the controls for one ship across two controllers, it won't be anything substantial.

Apparently Star Fox Zero has a co-op mode where one player controls the ship while the other handles shooting.

A lot of the missions in the Adventure maps were way easier with a second person to split the objectives, framerate drops or no. Plus it was more fun.

Yeah, it would be nice if Hyrule Warriors ran better but it's still fun to play co-op. The game's all about managing threats at different parts of the map so you end up coordinating and taking on different obstacles and it's a real good time. Also vouching for Nintendoland, especially because you can find it cheap. In addition to the aforementioned Zelda and Mario games, the Animal Crossing game is always a big hit. I like the Luigi's Mansion game but no one ever wants to play it with me. And Mario 3D World is a must-buy.

My refurb WW-edition Wii U arrived yesterday, I bought it as a party console and it immediately delivered. A few friends came over and we played Runbow and Mario Kart. Runbow is a ton of fun, I can't wait to get back to it. MK8 absolutely feels like the best MK yet. I feel a little overwhelmed with how many games I want to get and play. Even though I already picked up Splatoon, and it came with Nintendoland and WW, and I had a bunch of keys from the Nindie humble bundle... There isn't enough time!

Excels posted:HW has horrible multiplayer, some people say it's still fun but the entire game downgrades immensely to allow a second player. Warriors games are much more fun coop though. IT doesn't matter that it's degraded cuz the single player gets so boring eventually (In any Warriors game not singling out HW)

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Runbow just came out on the eShop and is a pretty good local multiplayer game that supports 9 players. I saw some gameplay footage of it. Unfortunately, it looks difficult for casual gamers. I feel like if I managed to actually get 9 people in a room to play it that most people would die instantly based on their skill level PaletteSwappedNinja posted:just a heads up: if you buy Mario Maker from Best Buy on 9/11 you can get a $20 discount on Mario Kart/Smash/Splatoon. If you already have those 3 games, Amazon may still be offering $10 off for Prime Members that reserve it.

By the way Nintendo games are now available digitally on Amazon, which means a couple of things: 1) You can make digital purchases without needing a MasterCard or VISA like you need on the eShop. Mainly only an issue if you had an import American WiiU and your country's eShop cards don't work. 2) Amazon and Nintendo seen to have solved their beef, looks like you can buy 3ds from there now too instead of a third party seller.

Like Mario Kart also drops frames and starts looking way worse in multiplayer, but also you get to play with your friends.

Hyrule Warriors multiplayer is fine but it's 1/1000 as much fun as Nintendoland, 3D World, NSMBWU, Kart, Smash, Donkey Kongs, etc. Also, Pikmin 3!! It has co-op challenges that are extremely fun and challenging. It works great!

Fast Racing Neo has such an uninspired name. In the same vein: Action Sports! Violent Fighting! Intriguing Adventure! Actually the game looks cool but aside from some neat stage hazards, very very bland - just like the name. They need the MegaRace announcer guy to spice things up a bit!

The company behind Fast Racing Neo built its reputation on making flashy tech demos for underpowered Nintendo hardware that aren't actually fun but boy howdy they sure do look real nice.

The Club Nintendo Goodbye Coin is up on Club Nintendo, and confirmed as the final item being added. 2,000 Stars for EU, 1,000 for AU. Club Nintendo's also making GBS threads the bed at the moment, so you might be waiting a bit to make your order.
