I wonder how you spell Tabasco.
Every time I hit the home button, I see the home screen for about half a second, and then a bar telling me my "data has finished installing" drops down. I checked out download management, but I just see that Netflix and Pikmin 3 have finished updating. Nothing new installs or downloads. I have the option to "delete" those boxes, but I don't want to get rid of the update data.

What exactly is going on with all of that?

Best game on Wii U is Super Mario 3D World I'm surprised it's even up for discussion.

Maybe I played it at a bad time, but I thought 3D World was a little forgettable. It was really fun in the moment, but I don't really have an urge to go through it again to get all of the green stars. As a "Mario is God, and all of his games rule" type of guy, I was shocked when I didn't click with this one as well.

I got Star Fox 64 from Club Nintendo, but the code they gave me is returning an error code.



Do I need to wait longer for these downloads to be active? What's going on?

You have to go into Wii mode, then the shop from there. It's not in the Wii U store.

Aw, maaaan. I don't like the Wii mode.

You can give me the Star Fox 64 code then! I'll put it to good use. :haw:

I'll gladly take some Nintendo Bux in exchange. idk if you can do that, though.

Hey, guys, hey. I liked Boom Blox for the Wii. What're the odds we'll see that franchise come back?

Honestly I don't even know why people buy the Xbone and PS4. A decent gaming PC and a Wii U is basically all you need to play the majority of new games.

Just had a conversation with somebody about that this morning. I'm a sucker for some Sony exclusives, but nothing has convinced me that buying a PS4 is a good idea yet. I like infamous, lbp and TLoU, but with MGS5 coming to Steam, what's the point? I ain't ever going to play Mario on anything besides my Wii U, so it's actually a really comfortable setup: PC and Wii U.

Is there any way I can play Pikmin 3 without the gamepad being on? I want to just use the pro controller and not have the screen ever tell me to look at the gamepad.

I would go as far as to call the "go here" function vital. You definitely will need to use it and to survey the map to make plans. A decent portion of the time you'll be sending all 3 captains on different missions and the game pad is the only way to do that in any kind of efficient way.

Hmmmmm, interesting. I'm planning an LP around this game, and that could get tricky to record. I guess the television screen looks interesting-enough when using the gamepad map.
