did you try going to the video game store??

i was looking for a good deal because i had to buy one immediately.i ts an emergency

CrashCat posted:

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

are there any dealds on either bundle? its an emergency

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

I've been playing since september, and hell, this has almost always been the case for me. I enjoy it too because every splatfest where I'm forced to play with people in NA somehow their connections are worse. I only ever disconnect from games and see noticeable lag during splatfests.

Nothing big turning up. Granted it's an off season for sales so I didn't expect anything.

Best I could come up with is 15% off this site is offering for first orders. No idea if the site is reputable though.

Now there'll be some quiet in this town.
Also if he's trolling, this is like the lowest payoff trolling you could do which makes it kinda weird. Why not just go out and buy the Wii U and make up for your mistake it's so simple!

It would be half clever if he fake posted about trying to get Nintendo to transfer his licenses or something, though even that would be beating a dead horse at this point.

I actually didnt think about licenses and save games. I still have the original console but I dont know really how operable it is. It turns on, or it seems to, but nothing else happens. How does this stuff work now with the Wii U? Theres a user system in place now for digital downloads etc correct? What about save games?

And I knew I had a bit of time so I wanted to see if I could get one cheaper because I dont really want to be paying more than I have to just to replace a console.

Look I'm putting you on ignore now, because apparently all you're going to do is just post poo poo and waste everyones time.

edit: To keep on topic can anyone help me with transferring data from the old machine? Am I going to need login details for the digital downloads or is it a system to system transfer like on the 3DS? Do I have any hope of getting the save files back?

That should answer your questions and then some. They say the transfer will queue up digital downloads that were on the old unit to be downloaded automatically, but if you have more than 64 items you'll have to download the rest yourself. Saves are sent, any saves on the new machine will be destroyed though.

Almost every first party game is worth considering but Smash Bros, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, and Super Mario Maker are absolute must haves imo.

Wind Waker HD and Hyrule Warriors are also awesome if you like Zelda.

Wait is there an actual system to system wii u transfer as well
I always regretted cheaping out and getting an ebay 8gb system, and have lots of problems because my hdd y cable/ DEFINITELY the terribly flimsy connection port on the hard drive is really flimsy
If I got a 32gb system I could probably hold digital Splatoon, tphd, and the updates for Smash/Hyrule warriors (lost all my other disc games when I went broke to rent and bill :( )

e maybe i just need a better hdd
is there a recommended model ppl have that they never get random disconnections, any models w a locking connector?, usb micro b is so flimsy

Honestly there's enough gameplay in HW without the DLC to last 100+ hours. That said: the DLC for HW (both console and portable versions) is a hell of a lot of bang for your buck

Honestly, any HHD that has a dedicated power supply will be totally fine. Nintendo has a list of recommended HHDs on their website, too, but really just anything with its own plug will do the trick.
