How long does it take to fully charge the Wii-u controller? Both the one with the screen and the 'pro' one?

No one knows for sure on the pro because they only need a charge every year or two.

Well I am both a Wii U owner and the proud owner of over $150 in Nintendo stock so this is very important to me, from a financial standpoint!!

Those stock dollars could've been invested differently to net you three video games for your Wii U system! Checkmate, Wallstreet.

I do want to try Lost Worlds some day because I'm willing to put up with even a badly executed Mario Galaxy ripoff, but I'm not paying more than $10 for it.

Basically this, though rather than not willing to pay more than ten bucks it's more that there's stuff I haven't gotten and stuff coming up that look way the gently caress better on which i'd rather spend money on.

Blatantly stolen from the Videogame deals thread:


Amazon apparently doesn't offer DKC Tropical Freeze (only 3rd party sellers do), so it looks like it's the best price out there right now.

Edit: Now that I'm looking at it, they don't stock most Wii U games. Even the prime eligible ones are from a third party fulfilled by Amazon.

They'e probably just out of stock. I bought it from them three months ago for that price rather than a third party using amazon.

My only issue is why do we need to wait till May 2015 for the second DLC pack? Seems kinda stretched out for DLC, but whatever, Nintendo has the right idea as far as content is concerned.


I've been saying this since seeing how well done Sega's racing game is. I'm glad they're actually going for it.

One piece of DLC every six months seems decent enough for all it is. They really should've announced this earlier, tho, so the second pack didn't seem horribly far away.

I loved that boss in that i hated it, but when I was getting torn apart by its last phase as usual, I panicked during the horizontal ice dragons bit and jumped way too early only to find out it was a different attack with an ultra fast ice dragon that didnt hit me and when i jump again in confusion i beat the game.

SO. Ducktales HD! I've been eyeing it for a bit, and do need about six bucks to get my next five bucks in cashback, I enjoyed the original one (maybe, i mean, i probably did but all that stuck with me is the moon theme) so think it's a good idea? or too light in content? Or should I simply get it on PC and buy something else on the U?

Well, I barely remember Ducktales, not living in the U.S. and not having cable meant I only ever saw two or three episodes, did like what I saw tho. But I'm mostly wanting it for those faint memories and because I love platformers.

When I bring up the PC version it's mostly on a price basis. Gonna check the eShop, but I think i'm backing down on getting it for now.

It's $15 on Steam right now, and $7.50 on the eShop. If you are buying based on price, the eShop version is half the price.

Obviously. But I believe Steam will have it even cheaper at some point in the future, possibly in the holidays which would be a nice time to play it. I'm in no rush, getting five bucks is nice but I don't want to get something almost entirely for that.

I'll just not buy anything yet. Who knows, maybe on the next Club Nintendo rewards they'll put a fun download for the Wii U that'll push me over.

I'm now just picturing Mario hassling people with his voice so they'll buy more preorders.

Anyway, I'm down with less story in Mario main titles. Hated the story in Galaxy 1 and loved how much more straight forward Galaxy 2 was. Didn't even notice there weren't dialogues in 3D World.

Side games like the RPGs should have dialogue, tho.

I was a big fan of "Yeaaa" from Mario Galaxy. Sounded like Mario was getting his dick sucked in a porno or something along those lines.

You know what, i'm feeling stupid today and i'll say this actually relates super good to how I want my Mario. I don't want some deep story that'll tie all ends and have Mario resurface from his darkest hour in a space opera, I want some porno plot, just an excuse that gives a context for the setting and just stays quiet while the gameplay happens.

Haha I meant not offense. Platinum writes funny and fun games, that's the beauty of them. Game-stories are so stupid and are constantly shoved in your face. Plat games are a breathe of fresh air, you can have fun actually playing a game, the stories are there to have fun with, but they don't hold much significance. You won't need to know Bayonetta 1's story to have fun in 2.

I wouldn't be so sure after Wonderful 101, that was a really good story.

You can but it's a major pain in the rear end. Just get the Mayflash and save yourself the headache.

Plus, IIRC, the current drivers and stuff only make the controller be read as a generic joystick that needs configuring, meanwhile the Mayflash dongle can let you do that or make the computer think it's a 360 controller by flicking a switch.

Smash Luigi doesn't conform to Luigi's typical personality or his new merciless arsehole personality, he's the third branch of the Luigi timeline.

I'm pretty sure the Mario Bros. bible shows that there's only the Mama Luigi timeline and the Ghostbusters timeline. MK8 is at the end of the Ghostbusters timeline after his adventures in hell where he essentially reenacted the plot of Bayo 2 with Mario once again having his soul stolen.

Does DLC bought count towards the DDP? I have a physical copy of hyrule warriors but I bought the season pass.

Even Club Nintendo rewards count to the DDP. You could theoretically do the most inefficient farming ever by using coins to get Wii U games to get DDP cash to get CN surveys to get coins to get rewards to get DDP cash repeat.

The other thing of not knowing what they do is that you don't know if they all do the same thing, will the Captain Falcon on my desk only work in Smash? what will he do in Captain Toad? did I get the short stick of this deal for picking a character that only shows up in one game while the Mario Amiibo does stuff in more games?

I TRU deal is tempting but honestly an Amiibo is worth less to me than the ability to just pick up the game from the store when it's out.

Ultimately this is my answer too. If it could be store pick-up I'd go for Toys R Us, but since it isn't I'll just pick it up at whichever store I get to, or download it if it's not too big a file.

Someone suggested being able to use the trophies in the game as the pieces you can use and I really hope that's the case. And I hope that they allow EVERY trophy for that. The minigames (if that's a thing) would obviously most likely be only the Smash roster, but it'd be awesome to say use the Rayman trophy or something.

That one official Rayman twitter account hinted at the trophies being animated, and they definitely aren't in the 3DS version. Still hoping that's the case for the WiiU version, and then being animated would also make the boardgame thing more alive

Moving the Majora's Mask Moon four spaces, making it be in the same space as a Fatal Frame characters and so their Stands (Captain Falcon and Pac Man) have to fight to see if the Moon has to pay rent or something would be the greatest. :allears:
