Nobody is going to read the OP anyways. It slowly drove the last thread's OP creator into a very dark place, never to be heard from again.

I don't know guys I'm really bummed I can't play Call of Duty on my Wii U. I guess I'll just have to settle for Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi Yarn, Xenoblade X and a new Zelda eventually. What a lovely console I have purchased. Maybe I should trade it in for an Xbox One so I can shoot mans.

I don't know what other reaction people expect except who gives a poo poo. If I posted in the PS4/Xbone thread about how they aren't getting the next Zelda I'm sure many angry/sarcastic posts about how nobody gives a poo poo would follow.

Alteisen posted:I'm glad that no matter how much time passes, how many consoles we go through, Nintendo fans being the biggest defensive babies has not changed. It's also funny that no matter how much time passes, people who own Nintendo products can't say anything good without being called a Nintendo fanboy or say anything against what someone else says without being called a defensive baby.

Tender Bender posted:I dunno if this guy has some kind of troll history but he's making some really uncontroversial statements and y'all are working yourselves into a frenzy over it. "Nintendo not getting a top-selling game means they will make less money", cue pages of "Who cares get out of here stupid numbers troll". Those 20-30k copies they are going to miss out on are really going to break Nintendo for good. As pointed out several times, his follow up comments up for discussion have been discussed to oblivion and there's another thread specifically to talk about those things.

Fremry posted:Honestly, there's not nearly enough news to keep this thread going on a daily basis. (Please don't attack me) As has been noted, we're pretty much relegated to first-party news which happens every 2 weeks to 3 months because of the lack of third party support, so we have Nintendo first party news, updates for the eShop, updates of club nintendo and rehashing the same discussions about the games that are already out. This thread isn't a Wii U news only thread. Funny you complaining about rehashing the same discussions when "no third party support is Wii U in financial trouble" has to be the most talked to death topic in the thread. It's like 12 hours later and you wont let this go.

$6.75 for Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara seems like a pretty sweet deal, glad I waited on that one. Has anyone in here played The Fall yet and can you give a brief review? Watched the trailer and it looked kind of interesting.

As mentioned above, the combat is farthest from shallow as you can possibly get. The fact that it's not a button masher is part of the draw to the game. I pre-ordered a Link Amiibu, I'm not entirely sold on the concept but I figured it would be good to have one to mess around with and see how it works.

Morby posted:Side note, my gf wants to get me a 3DS for my birthday next month. Is there any reason to wait for the New 3DS? I understand there will be some hardware changes and stuff like Xenoblade will only work on it, but are there any other compelling reasons to wait? There are going to be N3DS only games, it sounds like a pretty substantial hardware upgrade, it has a nub to maybe replace the need for a circle pad pro and the 3D view is going to be much better.

I feel like Skyward Sword had the best last boss fight and ending of any Zelda game, but for someone new to Zelda I would also suggest Windwaker. If you enjoy that, then try the other Zelda games.

Regy Rusty posted:Someone either sell me on or tell me to avoid Steamworld Dig which I just saw featured prominently on the eShop. My kneejerk reaction is to avoid because it mentions "randomly generated levels" and makes me think of Spelunky which I don't care for, but I thought I'd seek more knowledgeable opinions. It's nothing like Spelunky, you dig and get resources/items to help you dig longer and more efficiently. There are a few boss fights... I don't think I'm doing the game justice as I really enjoyed it, some people think the game is too short. If I remember right I was around 4-5 hours, but if you just dig straight down you can probably finish it in 2 hours. The 3DS version didn't have much replay value, not sure if they added anything to the Wii U version.

It's really bumming me out that Capcom hasn't announced Monster Hunter Ultimate 4 for the Wii U. Part of me wants to believe they just want to sell a billion copies on the 3DS first, but even if it were coming to Wii U we probably wouldn't get it until 2016  . I just can't imagine putting 100-200 hours into a game on the 3DS, there are just some games I would never play on a handheld and Monster Hunter is one of those games.

lokipunk posted:So, I decided to finally pick up a WiiU before I spent all of my leftover from vacation cash on dumb poo poo like groceries. I ordered a refurb on Monday night and it still says "order processing" on the site. I even payed out for the extra overnight shipping because I wanted to make sure it arrived by Friday. Anyone have any experience like this? I assume I just need to call up nintendo service with my order number but hours at work are going to prevent me from that until tonight at least. So you ordered on Monday, paid for overnight shipping and it's now going to be Friday and still not there? Yea I would definitely call and at the very least have them refund your shipping, Nintendo customer service is pretty good for the most part so maybe they will do something extra on top.

Fremry posted:Also, I don't know if I just didn't notice it before, but ddp.nintendo.com has a big disclaimer at the top saying that the promotion ends December 31, 2014. I know that this has already been talked about, but people were wondering if Nintendo was going to extend it into 2015. I was also hoping they would extend it, someone is going to throw a huge fit about the expiration this December even though that's been the date since the Wii U was released. After I buy Costume Quest 2 that will put me at $30 in rewards back, I never planned on going digital but assumed there would be more $10-$15 titles. Too bad the Wii U eshop is finally getting better when the promotion is ending.

There are games I don't like playing on handhelds, Smash Bros and Monster Hunter are some of them. Anything that requires or is better with precision controls I don't want to play on a handheld basically. Which is why I'm really going to be disappointed if the next Monster Hunter game isn't on the Wii U.

Stacking, Iron Brigade and Costume quest were all good games in my opinion. I backed Broken Age and wasn't that impressed, but that's not really a style of gameplay I enjoy. They did seem to run the Kickstarter thing into the ground, wasn't there a game they put on KS that was basically a vague idea that wasn't even in development yet? All I know is I like Costume Quest and I've never let any behind the scenes controversy keep me from playing a game so I don't think I'm going to start now.

I'm completely fine with Amiibo's as long as they don't do like a series 2 or something where I have to buy a different Link because my original Link no longer unlocks goodies in games. You can get a free Amiibo in the US if you pre-order Smash from Toys R Us, so I don't see what the big deal is.

acksplode posted:More like design flaws this bad for a piece of consumer electronics rarely come alone. If your onboarding process hasn't considered the path for existing customers who already have an account with you, then perhaps that's a smell which suggests other embarrassments. Not trying to be a dick, but it sounds like user error here. I had no issues putting my existing Nintendo ID/Mii onto my Wii U and transferring my Wii data. Also both Xbone and Sony had day 1 updates as well. It's more uncommon that anything you do doesn't have a day 1 update at this point.

I read that Costume Quest 2 couldn't be played on the gamepad, which is lovely but wasn't a deal breaker for me. Apparently it doesn't play sound through the gamepad either... I don't know if those things go hand in hand, but not happy about no sound from the gamepad with or without headphones.

Don't buy Costume Quest 2 on Wii U... Game has framerate issues that I assume probably aren't a problem on the PC version. I just did a boss fight and it was getting in the single digits, which makes the game kind of hard considering your attacks have timed button presses. Game is still charming and fun if you enjoyed the previous Costume Quest, but this is a lovely port.

I'm not one to get too hung up on video game soundtracks, but there were so many good songs on Xenoblade Chronicles.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:It looks really slick, but I haven't played the game at all. What's wrong with it? I don't know, I enjoyed it. A lot of people complained about the driving controls, but I had no issue with them. The lower end cars have bad control, but there's usually always a nice car around somewhere. The story isn't the greatest, but again I didn't mind it. I think the game gets a bad rap. Has some of the best side-mission mini-games that I have ever played in a game like this. Edit: The radio soundtrack kind of sucked, but it has Wu-Tang's C.R.E.A.M and that's pretty much all you need. katkillad2 fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Nov 18, 2014 |

Calico Heart posted:Another thing is that some of these amiibo's must be useless. How many titles are they going to find a way to incorporate the Wii Fit Trainer? Or Marth? If a third-party developer wants amiibo features, do they have to go to Nintendo and ask permission to use any of their characters? How willing is Nintendo going to be to lend them out? Surely for the third party characters it's even more of a mess (not like anyone is ever going to want the rights to use Shulk via an amiibo though) They already mentioned you can use any Amiibo on Hyrule Warriors to get random weapons and whatnot. There will probably be some games where they are useless, but if they put in the effort they could be used for any game in some way.

You don't need a pro controller, the gamepad is perfectly fine in my opinion. If you have other people to play with though yes get one because it's fantastic and Nintendo is probably on the cusp of solving the worlds energy problems with whatever witchcraft they have inside the controller to give it such a long battery life.

Hekk posted:Club Nintendo has a pretty cool 3 poster pack of 22" x 28" Smash Bros posters for 700 coins. I am considering picking them up for my son's room but then I'd have to spend another 45 bucks in poster frames because my son is ten and sucks at not tearing poo poo up. Anyone ever gotten physical rewards from Club Nintendo before? I am wondering if I should hold out for something else or not because I haven't seen anything else cool since like July and that sold out really quickly. It's been 2 years since they offered the gold nunchuck, pretty sure everything since has just been posters but I keep sitting on my coins in hopes they put up something awesome.
