I said come in! posted:

Nintendo games don't drop in price ever even in retail though. There are launch WIi U games that are still $50.

This isn't true, Xenoblade is probably the second wii-u game I paid full price for. The Only other one I paid full price for was Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I've got everything else worthwhile on the system for around 35 bucks and under. Including Pikmin 3.

Toysrus routinely has nintendo game sales like every other week or so.

I bought Super Mario 3d world, New Super Mario Wii-U, and Super Luigi U all for 20 and under. Same with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 2.

My hard drive isn't gonna be here until next week, if I start the game without the packs and then download them later that's fine right? I would assume the answer is yes but since this is Nintendo I'd like to make sure they didn't do something stupid to interfere with save files.

It's getting painful watching people in the EU who got the game early struggle so much, and they're all people who are playing for the first time while im like "Nooooo don't do that, do this, ugh how do you not understand what tp is"

Sure, I have a headstart on them, but the mechanics seemed pretty easy enough to grasp if you pay attention instead of just being like "ugh cutscenes..."

I bought a wiiu just to play monster hunter, then they said monster hunter would only be on 3ds.



So i bought another nintendo console. I really dont care where monster hunter is, because it is fun as poo poo.

This game was the main reason I got a Wii U back when I was waiting to see if Nintendo would give any games to their then new console. I've played other things I didn't anticipate to be here, but it would be nice to see how my initial purchasing decision pans out.

Hmmm, guess we'll have to get used to some bad clipping in our cutscenes too.

The UK trailer was pretty fun for someone who knows nothing about the game. If there were big spoilers, I didn't catch them. I was mostly just checking out the visuals though.

Yeah when this was announced I was sold, well, double-sold. Xenoblade and Monster Hunter were the primary reasons. Happy I did though since Bayo 2, Mario Kart, Smash, Pikmin, and Hyrule warriors were pretty fun. Looking forward to that new fancy Zelda too.

I trust the translation I also trust that something like changing Dolls to Skell was probably a committee decision made by marketing. It's not like the translators get to just make poo poo up.

I'm not sure if you're joking but if not, you'd be surprised by how often this actually happens. Even in a somewhat big release like this, all that could have happened is that one senior translator said "I changed Doll to Skell for English markets because Doll has more connotations in English than in Japanese" and no one argued with it because either they didn't care or they agreed and then it was all over the script and then in some marketing and at that point, there's no turning back even when some other senior employee finds out and throws a shitfit for some reason.

They can't go into specifics but said that no important decisions were made solely by them and that there's a committee from Nintendo that has to approve as well as the director.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
8-4 doesn't randomly translate stuff. They talk with the creators, and for XCX specifically, brought in their crew that translated Xenosagas and the guy that did Xenogear.

They pretty much had to talk with the creators since the game was definitely not localized in a few months since japanese release, and treehouse was busy with other games. I think they said they worked on it for a year?

What's the installed size showing on your disc management page for the disc hd install stuff?

When I went to download all four packs, it showed/required 15-16 gb, but after it finished, I went and looked and its showing 10gb after install.

Did it fail to download something, or is that the actual installed size of the four disc packs?

Yeah, I think they started last October.

Although, like Fire Emblem Awakening, this wasn't a complete, 100% 8-4 stint but rather a collaboration between them and the Treehouse.

If I delete Wii VC games, does it keep their saves? I think I can temporarily make enough room on my Wii U since my hard drive won't arrive this weekend but I'll need to remove Metroid and Punch out in the meantime.

You did it right, it requires extra space temporarily during installation.
