Best WiiU games are obscure ones that can't be replicated easily on other systems. Starfox Guard for instance.

Stan Taylor posted:I really liked the Wii U. It had a lot of that Dreamcast or gamecube spirit to it. It’s just fun! I thought much the same of it  .Couple of titles to recommend for it if you want to go down the WiiU collecting rabbit hole that either don't have Switch versions (yet, or probably won't);
The eShop's also got a pretty decent range of games from old consoles, including DS titles, and literally every home-console Legend of Zelda game ever made.

ItBreathes posted:I imagine when gamestop finally goes belly up I'll pick up a couple since the gamepad makes them far more fragile than other consoles. Speaking of which, does anyone know a good source for replacement gamepad batteries? Nintendo doesn't sell them anymore and I'm not inclined to go buying random China batteries off Amazon without someone vouching for them first. Not sure about aftermarket batteries, but I will point out that the Gamepad can be used while connected to an AC adapter in a pinch. There are a few logistical problems with this, however: - The battery completes the circuit to power the Gamepad, so you can't just remove the battery and plug in the adapter. So even if the battery no longer holds a charge you still need it to bridge that connection. - You'll be tethered to the AC adapter, which matters for a few games that require you to move around in a 360 degree space, so look out for that. I'm hoping that either some good aftermarket batteries become/are available, or somebody finds a solution to the circuit problem that gets around having to keep a battery that'll probably eventually leak or whatever years down the road. Until then, I still have the original battery and one of those expanded capacity batteries Nintendo sold on their online store years ago, so I have some time before somebody finds a solution. Or nobody cares enough about the platform to find a solution, that's a possibility as well.

That's slowed down a lot, wonder if whoever was bidding Palmer Luckey up just got bored and he's actually the only one who really wants it.

flatluigi posted:every paper mario after ttyd has been progressively worse and it's an incredible bummer they've never made a game again in the style of the first two I gotta be honest, I played Paper Mario 64 for the first time in like 2013 (Sticker Star was my first Paper Mario game and I played like 15 minutes of Super Paper Mario before that) and it was pretty drat boring. I finished it, because it is thankfully very brief (I'm trudging through the last dungeon of Dream Team with 99 hours goddamn), but all I've heard from people is that TTYD is just Paper Mario 64 but even longer which sounds the opposite of fun for me. It is a cute, funny game but the pacing was frustratingly slow and it stretches its content thin. I understand after playing the original why Sticker Star gets so much poo poo but my ideal Paper Mario would be dropping the turn based combat because it's really basic and bland, and instead focus on the clever puzzles and cute dialog.

I thought both the Paper Mario games that that fanbase holds up suck... but also still think Sticker Star is the worst.

Sticker Star was good, fight me.sponges posted:I should probably get a Wii U in case they go up in price. It’s the only Nintendo console I’ve never owned. I keep thinking about this and if it makes sense for the Wii U to ever eventually go up in considerable value. It doesn't really make sense to me considering the best games are ported to the Switch... but on the other hand despite it's poor sales it was an awesome console and the separate game pad with the screen was awesome and unique. They also didn't make nearly as many Wii U's as other Nintendo consoles. Even though I think it's the worst Xenoblade game, X will almost certainly go up in value if it gets stuck on the console and I'm pretty sure I saw official comments they didn't have plans to port it. Just like the Wii, there's probably going to be a ton of eshop only games that get left behind. ( How did the "My life as" Final Fantasy spinoffs never get ported from the Wii? ) Nintendoland was excellent and can't be ported. I really enjoyed Zombi U and don't think it would be the same without the tablet, there's probably a lot of games you could say the same thing for even if they were ported. Also I guess maybe not too surprising, but it looks like there's still indie games getting released on the Wii U eshop. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Mar 3, 2020 |

Color Splash is fun. Sticker Star isn't that bad either it just explicitly breaks nerds' JRPG-hoarding-every-item brain.

I liked sticker star but too frequently it halts progression by explicitly requiring a sticker to progress. The environment, the scripted sequences, the music all fantastic. But drat it would have been nice if bowser got some lines or something.

I have a digital microscope for peeping circuits up close but I decided to turn it on some retro games, revealing some interesting Benday Dots where I didnt expect them and some very fine detail that you wouldnt see today Gameboy color screen at 250x, revealing the individual red, green and blue pixels  Benday Dots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Day_process) in an N64 Logo  Same thing in a Super Famicom logo  Nintendo Sool oi Quality  Extremely small (R) stamp on the back of Vegas Stakes, nearly invisible to the naked eye due to its shallowness   SNES Vegas Stakes showing some color bleed  SNES Mouse logo lookin straight out of an old comic book

I beat Super Smash TV for Genesis last night and it was pretty satisfying. It's one of those games that seemed impossible to me as a kid. In hindsight, it was difficult but maybe not as hard as I remember. Although I was playing the SNES version as a kid which may be more difficult. Definitely some extra difficulty with the Genesis version using a 3 button controller though.

I only played arcade and SNES and always thought the 3 button situation would make the Genesis one suck. Also, the SNES button layout was PERFECT as a twin stick replacement (well as perfect as buttons can be). I sort of wish Xeno Crisis was on the SNES for that reason.

If a Genesis game supports the 6-button controller, you could theoretically do an arrow-key design for firing directions and have a top-left and top-right button for other things.  It would definitely suck with a 3-button, though.

The Genesis version you use two controllers for each stick unless you have a friend you're playing with.
