I found it kinda disappointing. It looked great in the screenshots and the trailers, but for some reason it never gets quite that beautiful when you play.

The platforming is awful. It doesn't feel like a jump, but as if the physics engine sets the gravitational parameters of your character to a different value and reconfigures it after X distance. This might be hard to explain, but the controls just feel really off. Like it wasn't made to be a platformer but just some physics stuff and they added jumping as an afterthought.

I was expecting Lost Vikings, got clumsy controls, repetitive puzzles and stuff you almost couldn't beat without buying certain upgrades that the game never warned you about. The whole thing is frustrating to play and not worth it.

Then again, this might be because I played solo and a good amount of stuff relies on quick switching between characters, which isn't an issue role if you have some friends over.

The physics are kind of wonky, but I can attest to the fun had while playing with a friend. Plus there is the option to make it so you can use the wizard to levitate other players, which can lead to some great hijinks.

I just bought a Wii U this week, and although I haven't bought any games for it besides Nintendoland and Trine 2, I'm already glad I bought it and I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run.

A lot of 3rd party Wii U games have been dropping prices, including Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which you can get for only $20 at Gamestop or on Amazon. I'm by no means a guy who likes traditional competitive fighting games, but is $20 worth it for just the single player/local multiplayer experience with the Wii U exclusive content? More specifically, is playing as a grizzly bear dressed up as Mario worth my time if I'm probably never going to bother to actually learn how to play the game well enough to not get bodied online?

Do you have a friend to play with that also does not play online or in tournaments?

Yeah, I have a couple friends who might be interested, and who also have no fighting game skill beyond casual Smash Bros. From the sounds of it, I'll probably get my money's worth.

Ages ago Nintendo posted a bunch of "super play" videos on Miiverse for NSMBU and a couple for NSLU and the stuff they do with boost mode is amazing.

I hope years from now Wii U emulation becomes possible simply because I want to see what kinds of amazing things you can do with this in a TAS.

Are those Mario & Luigi Wii Remotes a limited time only thing? Or will I be able to find them after Christmas?

Like the one guy says in the last page of that thread, I wouldn't be too surprised if acceleration means a whole lot more in this game. Having played the demo, you get the coin item while in first a good chunk of the time, and items like the boomerang can break through turtling strategies. I can't say anything definitively, but I feel that top speed + bananas and shells will be much less simpler, so you may get to use your Waluigi yet.

For what it's worth, this doesn't matter in Time Trials.

Was Skyward Sword the Zelda game that Nintendo kept saying would change the Zelda formula in a big way or is it the new Zelda that might get shown off today?

Both.

Realtalk an HD Galaxies rerelease would actually convince me to buy a Wii U.

I don't know why that would when there's already 3D World and Mario Kart, both of which are worth the system.

unfortunately they are only taking characters from OoT, TP, and SS.

I've just noticed Mario Sunshine is on the eShop.

I'll probably not buy it. Rather play something better with improved graphics, music and gameplay. One of you who loves the unholy hell out of Mario Sunshine convince me to waste my money on it anyway even though I've already made up my mind and am never gonna budge, no sir.
