Just one more thing!

If you really want you could contact Nintendo to follow-up with it, but remember good things come to those who wait - you'll appreciate both your Wii U and life in general more if you're patient.


Sounds like it'll be fine then, I wasn't sure if that was likely standard or possibly a matter of error. Good enough for me to just know that that happens.

I registered a copy of Mario Kart 8 last month and took NSMBU for my free download code. Also have 3D World sitting on my shelf waiting.

Glad to know about the Digital Deluxe Promotion as I probably would have never known about that if not for this thread.

Also, don't buy Ice Cream Surfer the game blows, but you probably knew that! I say this as someone who enjoys these games, Jamestown is maybe my favourite indie game. This game is absolutely not worth money, the visuals don't save it at all honestly.

Oh sorry it wasn't supposed to be cryptic. I tweeted a review I did of Armillo to the devs, for whatever reason they responded to me with two different accounts and retweeted my review both initially, and also randomly a day or two later with the line "On the fence about Armillo? Check out @ElRammo 6 minute review:...".

I guess you could be a bit cynical about it, but from my POV they are a bunch of sweethearts.

You have good taste and I hope you enjoy your games! If you like NSMBU and want more, check out Luigi U because it's the same style of gameplay but a lot faster-paced. And Super Mario 3D world is an awesome platformer too.

Are goons still doing MK8 games? I was really trying to get the hang of inside drifting before really going online. Got really used to carts with light/medium characters but it seems like the inside drifting bikes would really help for heavy characters.

Well now.
Racking my brain for how to approach the list of 10-15. For a list of 10-15 key games on the Wii, I'd rather stick to games that can't be found elsewhere, or are superior in some way on the system. As a jumping-off point, I'll use Metacritic, although I am aware that it is dumb. I'll also be taking out games that rely too heavily on their online play to be enjoyable, as you straight-up cannot play online Wii games anymore without a lot of extraneous stuff.
(Also, if someone REALLY wants more NSMB, NSMBW really does not need a recommendation, seriously.)

  • Super Mario Galaxy
  • (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
  • The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
  • Xenoblade Chronicles
  • Metroid Prime Trilogy
  • (Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, some people swear by this version)
  • Donkey Kong Country Returns
  • Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
  • Little King's Story
  • Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
  • LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
  • Kirby's Epic Yarn
  • Boom Blox (Bash Party)
  • Fluidity
  • Punch-Out!!
  • Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

And we'll work from here, until we can at least sort of agree on the list. The benefit of starting this way is that the list isn't absolutely flooded with platformers, as it would be if I used my own opinions as a jumping-off point.

Put (2) next to Super Mario Galaxy. Then take out Fluidity and Lost Winds as who knows how long the Wii shop will be up for and for those 3 spots throw in Last Story, Brawl and No More Heroes 2 and lets call it a day and never speak of this OP again.

THOU ART THEE ART THOU STICK YOUR HAND IN THE TV DO IT DO IT DO IT

Got my Wii U in the mail today! Super fast turnaround on the refurb; it beat my Mario Kart game here. (I ordered on the weekend and picked 2-day shipping.) I already love the Wii U shop way more than the 3DS shop. When a game is playable on the Pad and/or TV, it just runs on both, right? There's no way to blank it out on the pad? (On the TV I can just change channel, I guess.)

Also, Pikmin Wii Transfer App Thing for GOTY.

You can hit the home button and turn off the gamepad in the options, although Netflix in particular will halt playback if you push the home button so watch out for that.

I don't know if it's necessary to exclude wiiware games, I think including one or two of the best doesn't hurt.
Lost Winds 2 is an excellent game by the way and I would still recommend it on WiiU, Blaster Master Overdrive too I guess

Oh for fucks sake, just let him post a drat list in the OP. We will all be able to live perfectly happy lives if the OP doesn't contain some games we like or includes some games we don't like. No matter what's on the list people are just gonna come in every 10-20 pages or so asking for Wii game recommendations anyways.

YMMV but my Gamepad charges from near-dead (flashing red power light) to full in maybe an hour. The Pro Controller takes a little longer but holds that charge for a really, really long time.

I have already posted a list in the OP, it contains ten games and I just do not care. :cool: It's real basic, if people want more niche titles or a greater variety then everyone's gonna' love recommending old games to people anyway, so I think just sticking to simple things that people with NO knowledge of the Wii's library can just jump right into would be good.

No one knows for sure on the pro because they only need a charge every year or two.
