Zarfol posted:I just picked up Assassin's Creed 4 for the Wii U @ $29.99 (I have an Xbone as well, but better graphics aren't worth $30 more for me). Metroid Prime: Hunters was basically this with lovely online, and it sold about 750k if vgchartz (lol) is to be believed, and it was on the DS where there were like 130 games that sold over a million copies. We're lucky that they make Metroid games at all, they all sell like poo poo. The closest we're gonna get to a new Metroid game is that minigame from Nintendoland

I'm trying to download MH3U and it's agonizingly slow. Is anyone else getting slow speeds? I was able to download demos for Wonderful 101 and ZombiU pretty quick the other day, so I was wondering if it might just be Nintendo's servers.

How did they figure that since the stupid characters and their dumb "stories" were the worst part about the other Sonic games, that they should make a spinoff that focused entirely on the stupid characters and making even dumber stories? It's pretty loving funny though.

RMZXAnarchy posted:There are Single Player games available, play some of those. It's fun to play some of the games like the Zelda one or Metroid one before you get depressed because these good, fun ideas will never get expanded to full games. It sort of feels like Nintendo used up all the imagination for the game pad on Nintendo Land and now nobody will ever do anything interesting with it again.

TheQat posted:Guys like Sakurai and Konno think "game balance" means "making sure everyone gets a chance to win" not "the most skilled person wins" The blue shell is also a real balance tool, though. In Mario Kart if you're in first you are protected from a lot of poo poo. You're not in the middle of the pack getting slowed down by getting hit with triple red shells or people in front of you dropping green shells or bananas or fake item boxes, or getting hit by bullet bills or people with stars. If you're in first you might have one guy behind you throwing a single red shell you can easily block. The blue shell evens out the field a bit because otherwise if you pull out in front you're going to be moving at a faster average rate than all the people getting constantly hosed over since almost nothing can touch you. If there's a blue shell coming out every second then yeah it'd be too much, and that's why it should come out at a tuned rate, but to say that the blue shell is totally random bullshit is pretty short sighted.

Alteisen posted:Try learning what that word means before you actually use it. Congratulations, not only are you an idiot, but you are also a condescending idiot, the actual worst kind of idiot. Good job! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man posted:The so-called typical "attacking a straw man" implies an adversarial, polemic, or combative debate, and creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition by covertly replacing it with a different proposition (i.e., "stand up a straw man") and then to refute or defeat that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the original proposition. Alteisen posted:Nope, just a bunch of goons tripping over each other to see who can pretend to be offended the fastest over virtual tits. Unsurprisingly, people do object to things that are objectionable, instead of just pretending to! It's almost as if you're saying that the people you're disagreeing with are being disingenuous, which is not the argument they're making, and therefore their position is untenable. The very definition of a straw man argument. Dumbass.

Bass Bottles posted:Stupid question: Is there a benefit to playing Metroid Prime Trilogy on a Wii U rather than an original Wii with component cables? Is HDMI noticeably clearer? Not really noticeable. You'd need to compare them side by side to maybe be able to tell, but any system you can play Metroid Prime on is going to be the best game for that system. I certainly wouldn't buy a Wii U just for that if you already have a Wii.

Bass Bottles posted:Yeah, I wouldn't get it just for HDMI. I'm interested in all the big Wii U games. I just would feel dumb buying it right now and then using it to continue my playthrough of MP before moving on to a native Wii U game. But then you could play it using the tablet as a screen and since it's tinier the graphics look better

PantsBandit posted:A game where you don't spend 90% of the time walking around and 10% shooting at bugs? Well, obviously. The relatively slow pace is a legitimate issue with the game, not that I think it's inherently bad, it just might not be for you. To say the visuals are boring is, however, either disingenuous or an indicator of unreasonably high standards. The art direction of the game is phenomenal.

Yeah, Majora's Mask definitely had the best world. The Bomber's Notebook was a really cool part of the game, it really got you invested in everything. Beyond that one I actually liked Twilight Princess's setting quite a bit. Skyward Sword was soulless poop. The only redeeming feature of the world was Groose. All hail Groose, best Zelda character forever and the one true hero.

homeless snail posted:Setting up my Wii U, why isn't it letting me transfer my 3DS Mii? If I do it over wifi my 3DS says "This mii cannot be sent" and the Wii U says that it "cannot be received", and it also doesn't like the QR code that my 3DS spits out. Anyone run into this? Google isn't being very helpful. If you're moving a Mii that's associated with a Nintendo Network ID, I believe you need to do this process: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1670
