I'll be upset if you don't, Skyward Sword is awesome :colbert:

Seconding this. I quit Twilight Princess and almost stopped playing all Zeldas. After beating Wind Waker HD, I tried Skyward Sword. I was shocked how much I enjoyed it. It's not a perfect game but it is fun. The skydiving controls weren't good though.

Little Kings Story not on that list or suggested yet...

ChaosArgate posted:

There is a distinct lack of Punch Out or any of the Trauma Center games on that list. :colbert:

These games should probably be added. I would also consider adding Mario Super Sluggers and Mario Strikers Charged.

From my experience it's definitely not a joke. Every person I've brought up the Wii U with (not an exaggeration, literally every person) didn't understand that it wasn't some sort of add-on tablet device and was actually a brand new console. This ranges from older people to tech savvy people who own several consoles.

That has happened to me a few times. The name and ad campaigns did a bad job making people aware.

Two fighting types doesn't really help. With all the different powers Pokemon have, I'll be very disappointed if they don't use them/go wild.

The only way I know how to play Strikers is to spam items and slide tackles and then get punished by the other person's items.

In Strikers your teammates really mattered. I liked Dry Bones because his charge up shot would stun the keeper, giving you a very easy second chance. Toad was good because if you timed his jump right he could flip over the Keeper. Monty Mole was probably the third best non-captain character because he could occasionally dig under the keeper.

Factor 5 made an enhanced remake of the Rogue Squadron trilogy for Wii and added tons of poo poo including first-person lightsaber battles that used MotionPlus, and it was fully complete, but LucasArts decided not to release it because ??? http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/10/13/cancelled-star-wars-rogue-squadron-wii-game-footage-found

Who says it has to be comparable? Yes, I agree, it'd be a nice convenience feature to be able to log in on a friend's Wii U and download my games on there, but that's not a service that Nintendo offers. They have never promised to offer it, it is never implied that that will be the case, and there are no laws or regulations of account systems that require accounts to work that way.

It's 2014, that excuse would be much more acceptable in 2006.

It apparently only happens to people who play For Glory. I'd bet $100 that it's due to players powering down the system as soon as they start to lose so they don't get a recorded loss.

Nintendo just showed off a trailer for Mario Maker at this Game Awards 2014 thing that's going on. Looks like it now has SMB3 and SMW graphics added and there's a ton of customization. Miyamoto also mentioned that if it's popular it may become a series of its own. I don't think a trailer has gone up yet from Nintendo's Youtube.

Those graphics in the game are an awesome addition.I really hope they add the option to use the physics from games that aren't SMB1.

The issue is that they released too many sequels too fast and that's why people didn't like the New Super Mario series. People felt it was quickly made for quick cash ins and it didn't try to do anything different and wasn't up to the usual effort Nintendo puts in their products

The physics and level design are impeccable as always in NSMBU but the aesthetics and music feel like they've barely changed since the Wii version. When you contrast it to games like Rayman Legends or 3D World where every level has something interesting and new it kind of pales in comparison.


I like the NSMB games (multiplayer is the best way to play.) I do wish the games had more music in them.

So there's a rumor that the Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, and Marth amiibos are discontinued. I don't get why or if it's even true but I'm glad I've got a villager, have a wii fit trainer coming in the mail, and don't care about Marth.

That seems really fast to make and discontinue something. I will say when I was at stores yesterday I didn't see any of those amiibos. Several stores also sold out of Link and Samus.
