also none of you have seen how the xbox one manages to gently caress up data storage by making it mandatory to redownload the same thing twice for a digital game where as the physical copy does not need to do that for a patch. You can't cancel out of it, they have made two separate patches for each version.

You see my confusion arose when I thought the Xenoblade Chronicles X disc install on the physical copy was a standard feature, but no it's not you have to actually rip it with highly illegal programs. :colbert:

So I was assuming you could do a full install like many other games allowed you to on other systems and not need the disc after the first use.

Nah you can rip full games to the wii-u already it's been broken open like that for months. I blame the poor AR translation app on my phone.

it depends because it's probably a VA they already use for other voices.

Like Mario's VA dude does 4 other mario guys.

Shy Guy is voiced by Nate Bihldorff, whose main actual job is senior localization manager. So it's not a professional VA, just someone from the office who has a funny noise he can make, because that's all they need.

Any good Super Mario Maker Black Friday sales coming up? Like, sub-$30 deals? I kinda want it but don't give a gently caress enough to pay more than that.

This is especially amazing when you factor the horrifying opener to Super Mario Galaxy. Why didn't he just stick to "Itsa me, Mario!"?

My favorite personal find on voice actors was Ashley from RE4 being Sandy Cheeks from Spongebob.

Target will give you a $15 gift card with a SMM purchase, but that's the only thing I've seen.
Also I'm going out on thanksgiving to get a Wii U, I'm pretty excited. Is it worth getting Hyrule Warriors if I've already got the One Piece/ Dynasty Warrions spinoff? Also, which is the better platformer, 3D world or Wooly World?

Hyrule Warriors is enough of it's own beast to make it worthwhile.

3d World is overall better imo but both are very good. Woolly World's gameplay is totally 2d if that's more your bag

They're both great, but one is 3D and the other is 2D so it's just a matter of whether you want a 3D interpretation of a 2D Mario game or you want a finally good Yoshi's Island sequel.

I guess maybe I've should have asked, "is it significantly more fun." The One Piece one is alright, but I guess running around in 3D environments beating up dudes for hours isn't really my main bag. I'll probably skip HW for now.

Also I'm gonna go for 3D world for the obligatory new console mario game and then Mario Maker for 2D platforming. Is there anything else I need to consider? Does the wii U have any hidden gems that aren't in the OP?

Did they seriously pull a Sega Saturn/Dreamcast snaffu where a single game will take up 99% of your storage space in the year 2015?

What I'm getting here is that you're trying to buy digital games for the WiiU without getting external storage? Seems like a poor idea. That option is there for a reason.

Get Super Mario Maker first and foremost; it is basically an infinite platformer.

Hyrule Warriors is worth it if you like Zelda at all. You can spend 200 hours on that game and still have only unlocked 20% of everything there is to get. The DLC (which is pretty cool) will have you playing till the end of time.

Yea the only thing difficult about Wolly World is just finding everything in every level. 3D world is much better.

I enjoyed xenoblade for the environments, the music, the voice acting, and figuring out cool combat strategies. Hopefully the new one is good
