Is the 3DS Remix gonna actually have new challenges or just stuff from the other 2? Leaderboards for friends is cool and all but not if it's the same challenges. Also it would be cooler if 3ds friends list worked like the wii u one instead of me having like a billion unconfirmed friends because they haven't entered my social security number into the drat thing

its all old stuff and people are saying the leaderboards are really slow and lovely to use

I was thinking about it as well but I've spent nearly 600 dollars on video games this past week.

if you beat everything on 150/mirror it automatically gives you the cups for the easier difficulties

I do have to say that feeling like you had to take back a victory that was robbed from you if you win sucks a huge ballsack though.

Sick, they updated Hyrule Warriors, with a max level of 150.

at least in MK8 the single-player is very doable on the higher settings. in mkwii the AI all ganged up on you and had some serious rubberbanding, mk8 feels way more organic

I got 57 points because on the last map of the cup I got blue shelled and then lightninged into a pit and then red shelled as I got out of the pit.

Well after a week of being a Wii U owner I do have to say... I know it's not really Nintendo's thing I guess but I wish there games had leaderboards.

Wormskull
Aug 23, 2009

Like especially with some of the stuff like Mario 3d World has timers, Toad Tracker as well, and a bunch of games got scores and crap, but the closest thing is Mario Kart's bar graph thingy where you only see the name of one other person and usually it's not even someone who did better than you.

i've never really paid attention to leader boards, what a weird thing to pine for. different strokes i guess, but i can see for like mk how it'd be nice

do you miss chievos as well?

i miss chievos, but some games include them or something like them in the game, so its okay.


like, hyrule warriors has Medals, wonderful 101 has Bottlecaps, and smash bros has challenges.

I don't give a hoot in hell about achievements but if your playing a game with a score counter or a timer and you want to be good at it instead of just play through the content or whatever, being able to see how good you are in relation to other people is part of the main thing. What good is a million points in SuMari3DWa or a 15 second clear in a NES Remix stage if no one else knows about it.

i think the miiverse was supposed to fulfill that role? cause you can do those posts to miiverse that have your record in them on nesremix, but i totally get what you mean. im the same way with chievos, and i like that games like bayo tie super trivial rewards to it as a little fun extra thing you can do

Wormskull

Well in NES Remix it might show your score to other people but all you really have to go by with how good you did is if you get a rainbow aura around your stars. But what if there's a whole nother league of people in the rainbow stars tier. And I'll never know about them because the Miiverse post is a dad trying to draw mario saying I win the game! with 20 more seconds than I did it in.

honestly, most of the time leaderboards are pretty hacked to hell anyways that maybe you'll get an aggregate of how you're doing but like the top 200 or something is generally a wreck so i never check them.

smash has global smash rankings or whatever which is a backwards leaderboard ranking that tells you how many people you did better than

I guess but even accounting for that you can see where you stand with a score. I just find it makes single player games have more to them since I'm not much of a single player gamer anymore.

i do wish you had an option in 3d world to view a ghost of the fastest time through the level. seems like it would be pretty easy implement.

it was cool in the first month of mario golf's release when they had the big worldwide tourneys going and you could see how you compared to everyone else. like i was in the top 2000 range who are all really close in score but then you look at the top 10 and those dudes have insane scores like -40

i got some pretty low scores too, but then they had the tournament on the course made of tiny islands and I could not believe the scores people were getting.

i really wish the messaging system were more streamlined. it's all attached to miiverse when it should just have its own inbox. the only form of notification is a little light on the gamepad you could miss. miiverse will be flashing but that could be anything.
