here's the things you need to succeed:
backwards compatability in some fashion
a controller
ability to play games without being connected to the internet

oh look we have a winner, not the xboxOne

@brucelebnd that is the most hilarious thing ever

a new 3d mario, a new mario kart, and a new smash bros, yoshi made of yarn

I already have all I need, but i'm still excited

@FyreeTSG I recently just bought a new 72 pin connector for my NES http://www.amazon.com/NES-Connector-Packaging-Nintendo-8-Bit/dp/B000A3IA0Y it fixed all problems. I don't think those CAN be cleaned because they work using spring-like connectors, which get worn out and stop "springing up" and your solutions are to either pull out all 72 back to their original "bouncyness", or get a new connector

I made my own Wii lens cleaner when my copy of Brawl stopped working (being a double layered disc the lens was struggling to read it cuz it was dirty)
I wedged a random cdr into a rectangle of cardboard and taped them together, rigged a piece of bandaid onto the other side so it would rub the lens when it went in, and put cleaning solution on the bandaid. worked like a charm

edit: worst video quality ever, but here's a video of it with a description of how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTUQ83dh2AQ , and DONT try it on your wii U, it's for wii

btw, this also fixed any powerups that involved holding the use-item button for control option B. before you couldn't charge snowballs, they would just shoot, and the jet rocket whatever its called power would instantly explode even if you were holding it

Lego City was crashing sometimes for me before the update,
and now it's not... although it hasn't been long enough to see if that was actually what fixed it or if I've just been lucky so far.

i want all the taiko games, rhythm games are one of my top favorite genres (along with action/adventure, open world platformer, and jrpg's)

there were only two things I didn't like about this game. 1: you couldn't make dialogue text instantly appear by pressing the dialogue button, and it's slow as molasses, and 2: you could only take on one missions at a time (unlike the other games). other than that it was a fantastic adventure

about time

digital obviously, why would I get a seperate box for something I can load up from a disc I already own?

proof that worldwide intelligence is dropping

oops, i meant to click metroid in the poll! now i've forever skewed the results ;_;

remember when the n64 was difficult to code on but people made it work being creative with textures and technical work-arounds? people are being lazy these days

@ToxieDogg well don't keep the brightness past 3 unless you really need it and its fine

awesome! was waiting for this week for weeks! more mario minis action ftw!

so cool! it's like a portable pokemon battrio!

ooOOo ooOOO I want

eventually it will be like that episode of futurama where they are trying to name something new and only have 2 words to choose from that won't infringe on copyright

i already have all of these, and if you don't have maboshi's arcade, I really recommend it. it takes simple gameplay mechanics and creates three addicting games that will last you a while, plus you can link your wii and ds and play on the go!

@CrabGats if i do the transfer, all the wiiware and wii games that I use gamecube controllers on will be rendered useless (bomberman blast, smash brothers brawl, certain VC games), lost winds won't work anymore, and my Wii will be wiped clean of whatever could not transfer over (pictures and whatnot). no thank you

ugh, idiots. they should be happy they even put those in the game, and proud their cats got super popular in the first place. you can't reign in something that has gone viral when it was originally a free thing

this interests me greatly

eww. well, next week we get the next Mario versus Donkey Kong title (although it's evolved into a more Mario Mini's series but whatever), which will be fun

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chair_%28game_show%29 ?

i want sonic adventure 3

for those looking to easily upgrade, this article's step by step process is the best method I've found and what I have gone by with my two upgrades http://lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/2012/01/19/how-to-upgrade-your-nintendo-3ds-sd-card/ , the usual Nintendo method leaves junk files on your sd card and can cause pictures and videos to not be recognized by the system for a few boot ups until it gets used to your new sd card. this method is flawless and works like a charm

okay, nintendo and google, when you offer a zoom in function, the resolution of the zoomed in view needs to be the base image size. you don't, say, start with 1024 x 768 on the zoom out and then stretch the image when you zoom in, you set the zoom in resolution to 1024 x 768 and then start the player zoomed out, that way when players zoom in it's like "oh look, an actual zoom in and not just a picture stretch"

@Trikeboy woah that's a thing!?? awesome, I may have to invest in one

agh, I hate when they change dialogue for "localization purposes", it ruins the essence of the character speaking it. if the point of the character is to say out of line things then that's part of their character and should not be changed

WANT

@SCAR392 but the SNES version on an actual SNES has 0 controller latency issues, wireless controllers have a small delay that some people don't like

also apparently its lost winds 1 and not 2 that doesn't transfer over.
anyway i'm still REALLY avoiding the transfer because I want gamecube control. originally I wanted my wii stuff because i still had to get friend medals on metroid prime trilogy, but nintendo shut off wiiConnect24 so i'll never unlock anything there without hacking now
also with the gamecube thing, the bomberman wiiware game has an 8 player mode (4 wiimotes and 4 gamecube controllers) which will blatently not work anymore... it's frustrating. can't I just link my wii and wii U accounts and have it say "oh hey you have this on your wii? you get the discounted price. I may have to pay more because I'm avoiding transfering

^the above is so i can get the reduced price to get a game I already have a snes cartridge of and a wii vc version of

goodbye lost winds 2, you will stop working after I transfer over to get off-TV super mario world. i loved you

btw, I have already played my wii u on car rides, its awesome. the thing about the wii U is not that its like a giant ds and why would you get an oversized ds. it's the fact that you can hold TONS of processing power in a nearly weightless controller without the need for an external video display. it's the first step toward cloud computer as a gaming method and it's pretty cool

.......... that's not a glitch people. if the game did not let you stand on cars it would be terrible. Crackdown lets you ride on cars and I'm sure GTA does too, and its really fun. This is not a glitch in any meaning of the word, but a cool trick or tip. Come on people.

""Undo" and "Redo" buttons are now available when creating a handwritten post" the best new feature :3

you know, there's a cool thing called a car plug to AC outlet that lets you plug in ANYTHING to a car. why people by these specific cables is beyond me

here's the thing, the wii U is not a flop as all those silly people say, it's just the fact that there's no games out for it yet. they had the same problem with the 3ds and everyone thought that would flop, but it's going strong because good games FINALLY CAME OUT. just wait till smash 4, yoshi's yarn, etc.

how would they even make a sequel? the plot has nowhere to go

people are stupid. it's still a yoshi

I honestly thought there was no way this could possibly be a thing. If the system can't suspend DSiware and oldDS games, how is it going to have the power to suspend AND interact with a whole new program? I'm still skeptical, I'm seeing it to be a thing where you can't have games suspended or post screenshots, but we'll see. Nintendo has surprised us before of their capabilities. by the way nintendo, PLEASE ADD AN SD CARD CHANNEL LIKE YOU DID WITH THE WII ONTO THE 3DS! so many of my dsiware games are stuck on my sd card in un-playable limbo

sometimes I talk with someone that has a 3ds that doesn't know what streetpass is. SERIOUSLY? how are people that dense

no, it's successful because it's the only one that's been released for a nintendo console. get better at localizing and cross platforming please

I guess I'll have to transfer my wii stuff now. goodbye Lostwinds 2, you will be missed

hopefully they clean up that god awful mess they caused in 9. if they bring back that car... I don't even know. I want to explore the board map seperately from others players, like, I don't know, EVERY OTHER BOARD GAME

i wanted it to be mewthree... now when i type in mewtwo on image search boards i'm gonna get both of them

sigh i hate when people dock points off a game just because it doesn't add anything new as a sequel. judge games on their own ground people, not what came before them
