It might be worth adding to the OP that you get a discount on rebuying any Wii U VC titles you had on the Wii VC. I forget the exact pricing but it's like $1.00 for NES games to get the upgraded version. More importantly seems many people have missed out on the Digital Deluxe Promotion that every Deluxe comes with, so we could have something about that as well. If you got a refurb or transferred from a Wii U to Deluxe, you're also earning points. People are probably sitting on money-back they didn't realize they have, which can be used for Wii U or 3DS titles. Wii U DDP Details: Earn points on all Wii U digital purchases made through Dec 2014 *Purchases made in the Wii Shop Channel on the Wii U do not qualify. *Purchases made at the Nintendo eShop within the Nintendo 3DS do not qualify. Exchange points to receive activation codes by Mar 2015 Activation codes earned must be redeemed at the Nintendo eShop by the end of June 2015 There is no deadline to use funds once added to your balance in the Nintendo eShop\ *Funds can be used for Wii U or 3DS purchases

Silver Striker posted:Monster Hunter, WWHD, and Wonderful 101 are all great choices. Monster Hunter and Wonderful 101 are very much acquired tastes in that they fill pretty specific niches, and that they have pretty lame demos. I'm a huge fan of them though, and got tons of hours of gameplay out of them. I would suggest Monster Hunter for sure, knowing that it's best enjoyed if you're able to play online and it has some of the best online interaction despite being an upgraded version of an originally-Wii title. Party voice chat, easily inviting and joining on friends, chat between in-mission/in-lobby/just-connected players, and it will even tell you if your Wii U friends are playing but in singleplayer mode so you can go bug them. It can be less thrilling playing on your own though, and even playing with general people will get you farther since most people are fairly willing to share information and work together.

Might it be worth listing good Wii games in a second post for people who skipped over the past console? That's another semi-common question from the last thread.

You can hit the home button and turn off the gamepad in the options, although Netflix in particular will halt playback if you push the home button so watch out for that.

Macaluso posted:What will us WiiU owners do without Call of Duty oh noooo You know I really did enjoy the control customization options when I played Call of Duty Reflex on the original Wii, although the game itself had that annoying infinitely spawning enemy thing that the old COD titles featured. Whatever though, Battlefield on PC is an overall better game.

Fremry posted:Honestly, most annoying thing about MK8. "We've got a poo poo load of characters to unlock!" And most of them are the unforgettable koopalings from Super Mario World, followed by baby versions of regular characters and your own avatar. I love the game, but I have no desire to unlock the rest of the characters. Koopalings are from best game ever Mario 3, actually  I would totally play Lemmy all the time if he's a character in Smash, except if Shulk is going to actually make it in.Whether they read them or not, my Nintendo survey for why I buy Smash will need to just have "Shulk" as every answer.

Wildtortilla posted:I have save data for Xenoblade and SSBB on my Wii. I'd like to move only the data for Xenoblade to my Wii U and leave the SSBB on my Wii so I can continue using my GameCube controllers to play it. What's the easiest way to pull this off? Homebrew your Wii, so that you can back up its entire memory onto an SD card. Do the transfer process, then use your homebrew to restore. Never reconnect your Wii to the Wii shop or it will erase any shop games you have.

Narcissus1916 posted:For all five of you who are following my Mario playthrough... Congrats. Did you get all the whistles? The game has a built-in speedrun catapult once you have two of them, which you can get in the first world relatively quick. If you warp while on the warp screen, it takes you to the final world.

whaley posted:It's been a while since I played my copy but doesn't it only have two attacks per weapon? My preferred weapon (dual swords) have something like twelve or thirteen attacks, two operating modes, and three infinite-attack chain options. The starter sword and shield has less offensive options but easy/safe infinite chains, can block, and can use items whenever. Each weapon's going to feel different.

axleblaze posted:I think the biggest problem I had with Xenoblade (outside of it just being too big) was I rarely saw a point in not using Shulk/Reyn/Sharla. It's just the perfect combo of Attacker/Tank/Healer and I rarely found use for anyone else. I did also enjoy playing as Melia and thought she had the most fun gameplay but party wise it still just didn't fit together as well. I'd experiment with other party combos but every time I'd switch back things would just always go way smoother. How's this for a reason: Sharla is the worst. You shouldn't need to be stuck with a healer unless you're trying to support a speed-tank setup versus bosses way above your level, and in that case, Reyn doesn't belong at all since he'll draw aggro and die regardless of defense and health between your healing application. I mean if you had fun with it, great, but you missed out on a lot of great mechanics and chatter. Seven/Rikki/Melia is absurd, hope you like chain attacks.

For MH3 do enough singleplayer to know what you're doing and not make a total rear end of yourself, then maybe play some online networked stuff for a while (talk to Neko Means Cat on the western side of the village). You can have people help you try some different things out, the stark majority of pubbies expect to take turns picking quests, are either confused about what they should do next, or don't mind letting you volunteer to pick something that appeals to you. You can hop back to singleplayer whenever, or do any multiplayer stuff solo, and all your gear stays the same. Exceptions are special arena quests where you pick from pre-set loadouts and do a time trial thing, these can be a good way to experience different armors/skills/weapons but the fights can be rough if it's your first time against a monster. Anyhow we've got a thread!

Policenaut posted:What's kind of why I loved Metal Gear Rising, because that game's approach to plot is like 9/10ths anime power worship set to heavy metal and it doesn't waste a whole lot of time on the specifics. Those specifics are still there, as the game has an absolutely ridiculous amount of codec calls you can hear, but generally the cutscenes revolved around Raiden loving people up and doing cool ninja stuff. I hosed up and missed all the non-mandatory codecs until I beat the game and was going through my unlocked abilities, concept art, and all that when I stumbled across the codecs section that apparently has hours of chatter I skipped

jivjov posted:Yeah, the real issue with GameStop is their other lovely business practices like opening up games, handling the discs (potentially lending them out to employees in the process) and still selling the game as "New" because it wasn't a trade-in. Don't forget with Xenoblade, opening up actually-new games to then explicitly sell as "used" for a markup instead of for the original price since they had an exclusive deal with Nintendo for distribution.
