Topic: Wii U Recommendations Thread

Hi, I know this isn't really a "Should I get X or Y?" question, but rather, I'm curious as to how scary ZombiU is compared to Dead Space 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can't decide between RE:Revelations or MH3? Any suggestions. I don't get to play a lot in one setting except for when I am off work and everyone is a sleep. I know mh3 is large game but I also know it can be played in small portions. I liked the demos for both and love both series. any opinions would be nice.

I personaly loved RE: Revelations, so I would go for that. It isnt as luck based as MH3U and you cant complain on the game becuase every step is your fault. I feel like MH3U dont have a specific story, but that is more about if you like story games or actual gameplay, while it is worth mention that some places in RE: Revelation you can move around in places it could be a cutscene.

Monster Hunter? Played in small portions? Each quest could take you almost 30-50 minutes unless you're really well-prepared/skilled. Not to mention it can take a new player like, 5-10 hours to really get to the meat of the game. I'd go with Resident Evil if you're looking for a game you can play in short bursts.

I already asked this in the VC section, but I figured I'd put it here as well since this thread gets a lot more traffic.

So, I've never played a Mega Man game, but of course his inclusion in Smash Bros. has got me curious. So out of all the Mega Man games recently rereleased on Wii U VC, which one (can only afford one atm) should I choose? I'm guessing 2 right?

Yeah, Mega Man 2 is the better introduction to the series. Really eases you into things. If you have enough, you might want to try Mega Man X, though. It's a master of teaching you stuff without tutorials.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for Wii U is marked down to $40 this week at Target. I have always heard good things about the series, so I decided to grab it from Target and give the series a chance. I have only put two hours in it so far, but I can definitely see it as a game that I will invest many hours in.

Get it get it get it... If you like horror games, you have to get ZombiU. It's by far the cariest game I have played in a long time.

I didn't feel any real tension in dead space as the majority of the game relies on jump scares (also low punishment for death means you don't care how many lives you lost, you just move back to the last checkpoint). ZombiU makes death very frustrating, because the punishment for death is steep, you actually feel compelled to keep your character alive at all costs, which builds the tension that way.

I love the horror genre, and I just don't think their is a better horror game out for any system then ZombiU.

MH3U is luck based? It takes all skill of knowing your weapon inside out and the mannerisms of the beast you are fighting. No luck involved.

ZombiU is scary in a very unique way, because it's not about making the monsters jump out from round the corner and scare you, but about creating a situation where every millimeter of your lifebar counts, and you can be attacked at any moment from any direction, even while you check your inventory. It's clever.

For those who have it, how is Darksiders 2 on Wii U?

Sonic Racing is my favorite.... was afraid that it wouldn't be all that great but wanted to get a racing game until Mario Kart came out to keep me occupied.... this game is great in its own right. Been my favorite one on the system.

Can anyone give me some recommendations for retail games? I have New Super Mario Bros. U, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 already. I'm starting a new job soon, so I won't have tons of time to devote to games like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and I spend most of my time gaming alone, so games like Nintendo Land and Game & Wario aren't very appealing to me. Any help is appreciated.

@LeVideoGamer

Do you like hard action games? Because Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is one I could then recommend. Sonic Kart Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing Transformed is also good if you like Kart Racers. And yes, it has a meaty Singleplayer.

@levideogamer

If you haven't play Arkim city or mass effect 3 their good single players

I just bought a Wii U and I'm going to get the following games-
NSMBU, Nintendo Land, ZombiU, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Arkham City Armored Edition, ACIII, Black Ops 2, Darksiders 2, and Monster Hunter 3.

Are there any other retail games that are already out that I should consider getting?

So I'm using the Wii classic controller pro on my Wii U. Is the analogue stick supposed to be so sensitive? Any way to change that? Is the Wii U pro controller any different?

I love sonic and all stars transformed.... would also recommend injustice and Zen Pinball either/both star wars and marvel

I know Pikmin 3 is out this week (hooray!), but I cannot believe that since launch, the only two games really worth buying are Super Mario Bros. U (the Luigi DLC was disappointing) and LEGO City Undercover.

... really poor show.

Been a Nintendo fan for years and I cannot remember a more appalling start to a consoles life!
