After beating round 20 on the Metroid Nintendoland game, I drew a terrible GET OUT frog as a response. Someone almost immediately sent me a friend request saying "GET IN". I'm so glad Nintendo actually understands online now.

I hope Nintendoland was a part of everyone else's New Year's Eve. Animal Crossing Sweet Day was the obvious drunk favorite of the night.

Crawfish posted:It's just weird that they've started making some steps towards a better experience with the 3DS, like folders and System Transfer, and then ignored all of that for their new console. Both folders and system transfer were post-release updates for the 3DS. I'd be surprised if the U Virtual Console released before folders are added. The fact that they actually have a user account instead of tying them to the system makes me think there will be some sort of transfer ability added in the future. Then again, Nintendo.

vics posted:Gold nunchuck is back! Hell yeah, just tore up my Wii games until I found one I hadn't registered, I was 20 points short. Thank you, Wario Land: Shake It! Related question: Has anyone done a system transfer after playing some Wii games on the Wii U? I let my brother borrow the Wii to play Skyward Sword after I got the Wii U, and haven't done a transfer. I'm wondering if I can start up Xenoblade on the Wii U and do a system transfer at a later date and still retain my save. deadwing fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jan 8, 2013 |

Bobnumerotres posted:I think the dungeons could stay as long as they were proper, short dungeons. The longer caves in Pikmin 2 were a total loving nightmare. I absolutely loved the long caves in Pikmin 2. Some of my fondest gaming memories come from the later massive caves and the absolute struggle to stay alive in them. What a good loving game, I'd pick up the New Control version to play it again, but with Pikmin 3 so close, I might as well just hang out. Same dilemma I'm in with Animal Crossing. I've had the hankering to start up a new game for the past six months or so, but the knowledge of a new installment coming is keeping me away. Damnit Nintendo, hurry up and release all these games I want to play.

Paper Jam Dipper posted:If you are a hardcore gamer, you shouldn't be expecting 100 hours out of a brand new console. Go buy Last Story or Xenoblade to fill the gap. I got the Wii U for Christmas and have already clocked over seventy hours on it, and I still need to beat ZombiU and tie up loose ends on Mario, Nintendoland (Octopus Dance!!!), and Sonic Racing. Combined with my eShop games, I'll crank 100 hours out of the launch titles easy.

Armillo: The Parallel Universe Mystery was announced yesterday for the eShop, and it looks like it might be worth keeping an eye on. As long as the controls are tight, it should be a fun blend of Super Mario Galaxy and Monkey Ball.

DoctorWhat posted:Seconding this. Other M isn't worth $50. It's not worth I picked it up for I believe 5bux from Best Buy. It's just been sitting on my shelf staring at me. As the biggest loving Metroid fan ever, I feel like I need to play it, just to suffer like all the fools who spent fifty at launch on it did. Maybe my expectations are lowered enough that I might actually squeeze some enjoyment out of it!

. It's not worth :6bux:. It's not worth the 65 cents it cost to make the disc. It's not worth the 10 cents it would cost in storage space on a $100 1TB hard drive. And above ALL ELSE, Other M is not worth even a single minute of your time.

Although my time seems to be taken up by playing the Rayman demo right now (Castle Rock is brilliant, I seriously can't wait for this game to come out) The Wii U version of Mighty Switch Force has a whole second set of levels akin to the second set of worlds in SM3DL. They're much more challenging than the original levels.

It's just a screenshot with no information attached to it, but I'd be willing to bet that everyone passes around the Gamepad at the start of the game to take a picture.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:They're wrong, of course, but the claim merely needs to be altered. The attach rate for the 360 and the PS3 is higher than the Wii's, and if you filter it out to third party games(no one argues that the Wii was lacking in first party games or claims that they didn't sell well) the Wii is utterly crushed. Holy poo poo, people buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games?

What an awful business choice for Ubisoft. Unless something's terribly wrong with the game, delaying a game that has to be practically completed for a simultaneous launch just doesn't make sense, especially when you have a big release lined up for a system that's starved for games. I wasn't planning on picking up Legends at launch though because I haven't played Origins yet, so at least this gives me time to bang that out. On a brighter side, the Wii U version of Sonic and Sega All Star Racing: Transformed sold 260,000 copies on WiiU, a little over a fourth of it's total sales of 930,000. Guess we'll at least get strong support from Sega.  edit: can't math deadwing fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Feb 7, 2013 |

Animal Crossing is going to be the poster child for digital games on the 3DS, along with Brain Age. It's great being able to download games that are best played in short bursts daily, yet still being able to buy retail copies that can be resold for other games. I can see the appeal in going digital only, but being able to share and sell games is still a big deal for me.

Spacebump posted:Making the Luigi DLC single player only is a bad decision. I hope they change their minds. Why is it a bad decision? From the clips I saw of the video, it seems like the Luigi DLC will be more difficult than the main game, there's a good chance it will be designed around only having one player (see: that tall elevator/bullet bill clip) as opposed to the relatively wide-open areas of the main game.

Bobnumerotres posted:Lagombi (giant bunny) is also not..ideal for new players. His attack patterns are pretty erratic (and loving annoying) compared to something like a Qurupeco, he's also able to freeze you and do other annoying poo poo. I can't imagine anyone new to the series enjoying this at all, on top of the lack of control explanation. I'm brand spanking new to the series and took out the bunny with absolutely zero problems with the default sword and board dude. He telegraphed his moves easily, the general trick was to just stay behind him and pummel since the only backwards-reaching move he had was some sort of butt bump that barely hurt at all. Then again, I've played a decent amount of Dark Souls so I just approached the monster like a Dark Souls fight. And I didn't have any frame rate problems either. I'm going to go ahead and try him again with a big anime sword guy (I'm sure there is one) since I did a hell of a lot more rolling than blocking.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:The Wii U version is better than the other console ports but you should definitely be getting the PC version if it's an option, if only for 60FPS and beyond. Unless you like playing multiplayer, having one player on the Gamepad and one player on the main screen is a godsend, as well as being able to play with five players.

Detective No. 27 posted:The Deluxe is normally the way to go, but if you want it for Monster Hunter, I'd suggest getting the Zombi U bundle. It's $385, comes with a 32gb console, digital copy of Nintendoland,a physical copy of Zombi U, and most importantly to you, the Professional Controller. In fact, I'd recommend the ZombiU bundle outright to anyone. For 35 dollars more, you get an excellent game in ZombiU, a Pro Controller that'll surely come in handy once Smash Bros. comes out, and the convenience of having the best party game to come out in years (Nintendo Land) installed on your console.

Holy poo poo Nintendo Land is still proving to be worth every goddamn penny of the Wii U's purchase price. Five player everything is ridiculous, although it seems really drat hard for Mario to win on Mario Chase with four dudes on his tail. Animal Crossing: Sweet Day is still the loving winner though and the greatest multiplayer game to come out in an eternity. The amount of screaming it inspires is just completely glorious.

Soul Glo posted:These both showed up earlier in the thread, so I'm not sure about any flood of reviews due to the embargo lifting. However, one person noted that Edge gives real reviews so 5 means "average" and not "Duke Nukem Forever." I'd say that's far more true for Eurogamer than Edge. For what it's worth, I find Eurogamer to have the most trustworthy reviews of any game site perhaps outside of Polygon.

Silentplanet posted:Nintendo's silence is probably warranted at the moment. They don't really have a strong nintendo title on the console yet... NSMBU is a little bit niche. Imagine how many consoles they're going to sell if they convince people to buy it now and those people find the games are not games that they enjoy! NSMBU is a bit niche? NSMBDS has sold 30 million, and the Wii version has sold 25 million. That's basically the opposite of niche.

The pictionary game is not technically offline-only, it's got a weird sort of online play where it gives you some words to pick from, then you're given a minute to draw your chosen word, then it's uploaded to Miiverse.
