I still don't know poo poo about HEB but they have Pikmin 3 listed for $5: https://www.heb.com/product-detail/nintendo-pikmin-3-for-nintendo-wii-u/1708122

Do they do shipping? There are no HEBs anywhere near my region of the US.

Zant was trash for a long while but after they buffed him he was decidedly less garbage and more fun to play

So if you have more games than a Wii can hold then your poo poo out of luck on some? Because I can't fit them all on the console either.

No, no, no. The licenses for these software will transfer, meaning you can re-download them at any time. Don't worry about fitting them all on your Wii. The Wii U will automatically re-download everything for you during the transfer.

Also if you have stuff saved on an SD card for space reasons (I did), you can still use that same SD card in Wii mode after the transfer. All your games will still be there. It's using that stuff on the old Wii that won't work, because your Wii Shop data will be wiped and transferred to the Wii U and the Wii is reset to factory default. You can do a backup, though, as folks mentioned and I don't think it's hard to do? I didn't bother, personally. The Wii U still functions as a Wii, and if I want to play Gamecube stuff, none of that requires the Wii's memory, just memory cards.

Return of Mido

Cia was actually really fun to play as. Her Y -> X x3 combo was a huge shockwave that could hit three times and that was great.

It's very hard to use but Summoner's Book Lana is also very powerful if you know how to use its mechanics. Fly around on Argorok forever.

Eh, I find that Zant works fine once you know how his mechanics work. Though he can be hard to use for newcomers.

He's weak as poo poo even if you know how his mechanics work, is all.

The actual best character is Darunia and it's a goddamn travesty nobody has mentioned him up to this point.

Worst character is Agatha. She sucks. Everyone says Ruto is bad but she actually clicks fairly well with me though yeah he movement can be kinda stiff.

I have probably about 100 hours into the game and I still haven't tried spinner Link, horse Link, dominion rod Zelda, or Tingle.

Ruto's kinda clunky but she has some strong attacks at least, that big wave is a great screen clearer and she can at least juggle fairly well.

my favorites are rapier zelda, sheik, and zant.

the gimmick/mechanic people are referring to with zant is that you can mash the special button during his combo attacks to extend them and build up a meter that you expend for his basic special. but if you mash too much and overfill the meter, he whiffs the combo attack. once you get the hang of it, he's crazy fun.

You can easily just mash poo poo in Bayonetta and have a great time. That's what I did.

Also rail shooter? Bayonetta? :confused:

I can understand if people who didn't play them when they were new are a bit put off by the first three levels of Space Harrier and like two tracks from Super Hang-On being fully duplicated in the game. The Space Harrier homage was one of the coolest things to me though, especially that the voice actress even does that exaggerated "AAAUUUGH!" from the original game whenever you crash into something.

Also I forget if it's in 2 but Bayonetta 1 at least has a really good range of difficulty levels if it seems too challenging. So it can definitely be mashed through. There's even a mode where ALL you have to do is mash buttons as Bayonetta will automatically move into range of the nearest enemy.

Maybe Ruto's inefficient or something, but swimming right through armies is really fun.

After playing the Zant levels on the Twilight map I'm not sure I know what fun is anymore.

The Space Harrier level owns by itself but sometimes I just really wanna replay the final Jeanne fight and going through a long shmup again before that is kind of a bummer

fun is catching like fifty enemies with zant's spin attack and carrying them halfway across the map with it. hope that helps.

The Space Harrier section of Bayonetta 1 is actually totally awful, though? You're so big that it's hard to see what you're even shooting at, there's no complexity to it, and the whole thing drags on for what feels like Literally 32 Hours.

Turn the language settings to Japanese and pretend it's a lost Power Rangers season. I tried the demo in English and it suuuuucked, but when I played the game with Gloriously Honorable Nipponese it was pretty rad.

It is adequate, but does not convey the requisite BURNING JUSTICE that the Japanese cast brings to the table. Furthermore, #weeb

W101's english dub is a rare case where if you say the Japanese version is better you are just factually wrong.

Wonder Red and Blue's VA as well as Vorkken are too strong
