Topic: Wii U Recommendations Thread

@KingMike I don't see Pikmin on that list! 😉

Oh and you should really give some of those earlier 3rd party exclusive games a try like Zombi U and Wonderful 101. Plus many more of course but it seems you're set for a while as is.

@KingMike

If you like RPGs, you may want to check out Xenoblade Chronicles X. It focuses more on exploration than story, but it is a great game. It does need a lot of time, though.

I couldn't find the original thread, nor do I really want to revive an old topic, but I found Arkham City for 7 bucks and it's awesome. Like really really really good. Frame Rate drops dont really take away and catwoman controls really well.
I wanted to ask though; what's the general consensus around here on Arkham Origins and the 3DS Blackgate one?
Also, can you play as Catwoman in either of those games?

One more, I'm only up to Penguin so I was wondering if there are any other playable characters besides Batman and Catwoman.

Thanks, guys!

@televisions May I inquire where you got that for 7$

@Spoony_Tech used game story here in philly

edit: I should add that they're all over the place. Like they have a Gameboy Burger Time deluxe that I want going for 20 something (out of box, so it should be cheaper)

but I also god, for two bucks (two!) rune factory for DS which seems to still be going for 10+ most places used.
they're all over the place.

@televisions: Glad that I'm not the only one that played this recently! The only issues I had with the game were the slight frame rate drops you mentioned (that hardly affected gameplay), occasionally Batman wouldn't quite scale buildings how I wanted (not an issue either), and once I somehow got Batman stuck in the basement of the courthouse (resolved by quitting, then reloading my file). As a Batman and Wii U fan, I feel like this was an enhanced port done right!

I haven't played Arkham Origins or Blackgate, so I can't really help out with those, I'm afraid. (I would also like to know about Origins.)

I don't believe you can play as any other characters in the main campaign besides Batman and Catwoman, but for part of the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC, you play as Robin. He has different items, some of which have unique functionalities. Also, you can play as four characters in the Riddler's Challenge/Combat modes: Batman, Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing.

Any SURVIVAL HORROR recommendations? I've only played RE:Revelations and ZombiU. I'm also waiting on Fatal Frame to go on sale around October. So anything else you guys can recommend?

@flexdawolf27 Fatal Frame may not go on sale

Lone Survivor (I think that is what it is called) might be an option

@DefHalan Thanks man! I'll check it out!

Bought the Zelda Twilight Princess HD Bundle with amiibo after hearing of the amiibo functionality with Breath Of The Wild.

In the past, I tried playing TP about 4 different times, but always lost interest by the fourth temple. For some reason, I'm enjoying this playthrough 8-10 years later much more. I'm only at the 3rd temple to be fair, but I think the gamepad menu and clearer graphics made all the difference for me.

Everybody should take advantage of Oddworld: New and Tasty being half off up until september 1st (9.99 instead of 19.99)

@rk3388 I never really got into the Zelda games but TP looks pretty good on the Wii U.

@flexdawolf27 I'm sure you've heard it many times before, but I would highly recommend any of the main series Zelda games! Now's a better time more than ever with Wind Waker being on the Nintendo Selects line

@rk3388 Yeah I'll make sure to get it real soon! Right now im enjoying Oddworld and its just a fun game haha! I'm glad they remade it.

Does anyone have opinions on Hyrule Warriors? Is it worth getting for a Zelda fan? I'm also wondering how expensive all the DLC would be because I hate having incomplete games :/

I found a brand new copy of Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, complete with the Isabelle and Digby amiibo, for $20 today. Think I should take the plunge? We already have K.K. Slider, Cyrus, and Reese and a handful of the cards.

Hello, everyone! I wonder, if I play Yoshi Wooly World, will it be less exciting for me to play Epic Yarn after? Or should I first play Kirby and only then Yoshi to keep my feel of wonder high? And also will it not damage my experience when i decide to play Wario Shake it! ?

@Ufaowl I don't think it will spoil anything. Both are very different games even though they have yarn as their art style. Both stand on their own very well and are worth playing.

@Spoony_Tech Thank you, kind sir! Will equally enjoy both then)

I need a recordation for a new game. All I play is Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. I don't play Splatoon or Mario Maker anymore. Is there any deep RPG games or single player games? I don't like Twilight Princess. Never tried a Xenoblade game or a Bayonetta game. Also curious about Monster Hunter but I don't know if I'd be able to get into it.
