You heard it here first folks: https://twitter.com/ArmilloGame

If these guys had a huge following then I would literally be famous right now.
or they probably wouldn't have done that.

Also, don't buy Ice Cream Surfer the game blows, but you probably knew that! I say this as someone who enjoys these games, Jamestown is maybe my favourite indie game. This game is absolutely not worth money, the visuals don't save it at all honestly.

I have no idea what this post means, but it sounds so juicy that I'm trying hard to find out.

Oh sorry it wasn't supposed to be cryptic. I tweeted a review I did of Armillo to the devs, for whatever reason they responded to me with two different accounts and retweeted my review both initially, and also randomly a day or two later with the line "On the fence about Armillo? Check out @ElRammo 6 minute review:...".

I guess you could be a bit cynical about it, but from my POV they are a bunch of sweethearts.

Oh, that's cool! I was under the impression they had done something that would look like bad PR.

Got my Wii U in the mail today! Super fast turnaround on the refurb; it beat my Mario Kart game here. (I ordered on the weekend and picked 2-day shipping.) I already love the Wii U shop way more than the 3DS shop. When a game is playable on the Pad and/or TV, it just runs on both, right? There's no way to blank it out on the pad? (On the TV I can just change channel, I guess.)

Also, Pikmin Wii Transfer App Thing for GOTY.

Yeah, your closest solution is turning brightness all the way down.

Honestly, can we at least try to keep this thread on topic?

Speaking of being on topics, my local Best Buy has pretty much every Wii U accessory on "clearance" but I've heard of other stores doing this just to move units.

I was able to grab a headset for the console at about $5 a while back, and it looks like you still can. It's the closest thing to an official headset I suppose, what with it being licensed (Seal of Approval and all) and being in similar blue and white packaging as all the other official accessories.

The speakers are fine, but I can't vouch for the microphone as I haven't really played with it online. I don't even know what games actually support voice chat.

EDIT: Speaking of microphones, you can grab SiNG Party with the microphone for about $16 at Best Buy, Amazon, or Wal-Mart. I dunno if it's any good but I figure you can find it cheaper at like maybe a K-Mart or some other dying retailer.

I might pick these up because, ya know, why the hell not. May make playing ZombiU a traumatizing experience instead of a mildly scary one.

This game looks a lot like The Swapper.

Hey, does a Wii U screen cover of some sort exist? Nothing permanent, but when I'm charging my gamepad and playing with my controller, the screen is distracting. Basically, something that plug into the top USB port (for support) and acts as a blind or cover or shield or something while the gamepad is sitting idle.

I was thinking the USB port would allow it to have more versatility and stay in place easier. I'll just buy this poo poo though.

If my gamepad is charging, it's in its stand and I'm more than likely using my Pro Controller to turn in the Wii U anyway. Next you'll tell me to get up and walk to the TV to turn down the volume. Yeah right.

I bought Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 as a part of the eshop sale. If I want to play the games on the tablet, will the tablet always be player one? Does that mean that player two will require a Wiimote or something? Can that be changed?

I'm pretty sure whatever you launch it with becomes player one.

It would have been a good idea for Nintendo to give out a single Smash Bros key to each platinum user and allow transfer from 3ds to 3ds over local connection. That way it could be more of a word of mouth thing. It'd also encourage local play instead of just being against the CPU.

I hope there is a demo for the Wii U version because I don't like it at all on the 3ds.

I disagree with everything in this post.

So, wait, the current link DLC is just the characters, but not actually playable Link? Or...what? I thought there already was a Link DLC, and there's an Animal Crossing one too.

There's a Link and some others DLC along with a later-to-be-released Animal Crossing and some others DLC. If you preorder them now, you get different colored Yoshis and Shy Guys.

If it makes you feel any better, City Folk came out in 08.

I don't understand this mindset at all, they are completely different styles of game. SNMBU controls really well and is a fun 2D platformer if completely unrevolutionary. Super Luigi U is really loving fun too, possibly better.

One just seems like it's better and enhanced all around. It's like playing the birds eye GTA with enhanced graphics and then playing GTA 5 on a PS4 or something.

I kinda want someone who's never played Earthbound to pick it up and play it while posting here. To be honest, it's a game that's almost an "acquired taste" with its slow opening and metaphorical themes laid throughout. That said, it is the second best video game ever.
