It's not a bad one either, really. I know reviews make it look like a piece of poo poo and they aren't wrong either because the original firmware is an unstable mess, but the actual hardware is great and it's cheap as gently caress. I'd recommend it for your home networking needs if you don't want to shell out for a top-of-the-line model.

It can't help your Wii U stay connected though

I've got a RT-AC66U and it is about 4 feet from the Wii U. Tons of devices connected to it in one way or another and have never had a single issue. I guess I got lucky.

I think the worst thing about the mystery mushrooms is that you can't just make it so Mario is replaced completely with the character, and getting another mushroom gives it a second peg of life or whatever. I'd love to build levels based around the mushrooms but I hate when you touch an enemy and the costume goes flying off and ruins the immersion. MY IMMERSION

With a wifi device that close to the access point you get serious receiver overload and spike the error rate so yeah you should be running cables in that scenario

There's really nobody else who originated from the GBA is there? Like there's...the Helerin from Kuru Kuru Kururin? I know there's plenty of characters from already established franchises that first showed up on the GBA like Vaati and the various Wario Ware characters but most of the library really was made up of remakes/ports wasn't it?

I'm hoping they keep this up long enough to do something nice for the 20th anniversary of the N64. Get some representation of the really far out there titles that first showed up on that system and never really popped up again like Doshin or a Cubivore.

I beat it with all heart containers in 25 hours.

But then that's me still remembering the game quite well. Pretty sure it took me twice that long back in 2006 when I also did cave of ordeals and got all the poes.

Finished Bayonetta 2, man was it fun. Only downside really was that the endgame was a little bit of a let down compared to how the first game finished.

Yeah I 100% it on hero mode, took around 53 hours. That includes the cave of ordeals, Wolf cave of ordeals, and all fifty stamps, of which I needed to use a guide for eight of em.

I did leave it on overnight once for the wolf cave to recharge my health amiibos

Yeah, it's a common complaint. Especially with how ridiculous the game gets I was expected more of a big bang from the end boss I guess. The fight itself is way better though, same size enemies are always more of a fun fight in these games than the screen filling god that you hit while the camera is zoomed on its rear end.

Bayonetta 2 is an amazing game all around and I still go back to it once in a while, I'm glad they have those endgame challenges/tag climax stuff to give it replayability besides just playing through the story mode again.

Well you can only get one of those (Kart or Maker) per bundle that's why I said Splatoon/Smash. That's two games instead of one and you still have to pay near full price for them because everyone redeems the codes

If there was any current deal it would have been in the video game deals thread anyway

When I try to play Splatoon nowadays, I'm literally the only player who's not Japanese. It's 9 names in hiragana, and then me. Is this a common thing? Is there some game, system, or network setting that's causing this?

edit: i should mention that i live in new york, which is not near japan
