Any ideas on how big Captain Toad's gonna be? I remember hearing a few people say it was only going to be like... 20 levels long and that seems absurdly short.

I didn't like double dash because it had a handful of terrible choices that effected racing.

The special items are a neat concept but it would feature me and friends arguing over who gets who for wanting items, and getting hit in general causes your partner to get dragged punishing you even further for things sometimes out of your control.

So uh, this is a first for me but I think my Wii-u is somehow on it's last legs.

About a week ago while playing it clicked off and the light display was blinking red. "This is a problem" I thought to myself, and had to unplug the power cord to get it to start up again. Able to play again I wrote it off as a strange crash. Then it happened again 2 days later. Then it happened within like 3-4 hours of the last fix when all I did was check Miiverse.

Anyone else have this?

Hey Eurogoons, guess what just got added to the Club Nintendo star catalogue:



It includes all 46 tracks. Only 2000 star points, too! Get 'em while they're still hot! :dance:

Seriously, why doesn't NoA EVER offer anything good at all?

I shamefully admit I listen to youtube rips of these songs when I'm writing/doing work so this is a gut punch to me.

The only digital rewards on the PAL Club are eShop cards for an insultingly low conversion rate: 2000 Stars, which is about 8 games worth, would give you 5€ in eShop credit, which is the price of a single regular NES game here. Except you can't buy those anyways, because the credit only works on Wii/DSi. Because Nintendo.

That's horribly obscene.

Makes a little more sense to me now but still :argh: over not getting sweet soundtracks and the like.

My sons fourth birthday is coming up, and he's getting a Wii U so he can have his 'own' gaming platform instead clamouring to play my games ("DADDY IS THAT MAN DEAD? DADDY WHY IS HE TRYING TO BITE YOU? CAN I HAVE A GO? WHICH BUTTON SHOOTS?"). I've already managed to find some good deals and have sourced Party U, Nintendoland and Mariocart 8, and I'm off for a trawl of the secondhand shelves shortly.

Looking for any suggestions on games that would be good to pick up and don't have overly complex control schemes or game mechanics, or can be played with dad-assist co-op (I was looking at Kirbys Epic Yarn etc if I could pick up some cheap Wii games secondhand for instance).

Rayman Legends comes screaming into my mind, that game is wonderful with two players. Obvious choice also goes to Mario 3D World as it's multiplayer is really well done... would almost suggest avoiding the sidescrolling one if you plan on co-oping it though as you'll probably end up killing each other on accident more then helping :v:. Kirby's Epic Yarn would be really good as a choice to (as hell it's a Kirby game, can't go wrong.) If you don't have Nintendo Land that's a must too, and Mario Kart is pretty friendly on 50cc. Wii Party U is kinda junk though as a warning.

Also suggest Hyrule Warriors actually if your cool with him playing games with swords and stuff. He's not going to get super deep in the adventure mode obviously but you can set the difficulty and have a lot of fun just button mashing through levels and looking cool while doing it.

So with club nintendo, I signed in and it said I wasn't even gold and the bar was all hosed up and only showed the top half of the letters in my name. Signed out and back in and it worked and I had my 1500 coins. Bought the poster and the coins didn't vanish from my account, I chose to trust it and left. Just checked back in and now 1400 coins are missing so I can assume it went through the order twice for some reason... is there a way for me to contact them about this because losing out like that is kind of lame.

I bought a boatload of the costumes from the second super mirror 64 thinking it would be for Jeanne.

I then found out they were just adding the beehive hair to the costumes on Bayo instead and got salty. Can you use Jeanne's Nintendo costumes in Tag Climax? She has a orange one in the story if you use Fox Bayonetta complete with the Wolfen instead and Wolfs team keychains.

I'm fine with it because I don't need to have the spinner, and if I get a Link Amiibo down the line it'll just be a nice bonus.

I seriously see no problem with this unless you're one of those dudes who HAS TO OWN EVERY BIT OF CONTENT IN GAME or something.

Edit: If it's a new map entirely, new character entirely, or something insane I'd see a problem. As it is a weapon for a character who already has like 7 who cares.

Also that Kirby box is so adorable, how could the final boss be anything but a screaming horror from beyond our understanding of reality at this point?

I'm not-so-secretly hoping it's Drawcia again somehow. She had one of my favorite designs from the series.

I am curious to what the deal is with all the paint people lately. Drawcia, Paintra, and now there's this little paintbrush fairy thing.

Hey so my wii-u is having heating issues and generally breaking down like crazy so ended up with a new one (got it super super cheap) coming in. I know I can transfer stuff to the Wii-U but does it transfer save data as well or should I back that all up on a SD card first? Would suck to lose hours of progress on some games and all.

I honestly do think some kids deserve a bit more credit though. My babysitters would bring Mario 3 over on the NES and I'd play with the controller upside down. They never corrected me because they thought it was funny but hell I ended up finishing it.

Now when games try to flip stages or reverse controls I can swap pretty easily :buddy:

So I got my new wii-u and it thankfully is running super great. The paranoia is in me though about those claims of smash bricking newer consoles. Did anyone find out what the actual problem was or is that still unknown as the last I heard was "it certainly isn't smash alone doing it."
