Watched a couple Lets Plays and got too excited had to buy it. Definitely a great surprise on the Direct today (which was filled with an unusual amount of surprises). Already had a couple challenges that I was just about ready to throw the Gamepad at something cause I couldn't land that 'jump' quite right or couldn't get the rainbow stars. Also got to love those stamps. Wish they would allow them to be used in general chat as a semi-useful achievement.
I want this so bad it's ridiculous. I've fallen for their trap as now I'm considering buying even MORE Nintendo games then I was going to this holiday season and I've already bought 4.
@HaastMK7 yep i had one up for Pokemon X&Y under the Players Wanted tab and just got a warning. There are tons of people posting their FC under Players Wanted cause how else are you suppose to? Going to complain to Nintendo (lot of good that will do) but this has seriously damped my Miiverse experience for the 3DS.
@HaastMK7 how does that make any sense if they even have a tab for "players wanted"...how can I get those players on my friend list? They need to let up on these super restrictive policies. They have the parent controls for a reason, don't make everyone else have to suffer.
Working flawlessly. Service has been a little slower than on the Wii U, but just added the communities and replying and posting on my Wii U while playing on my 3DS. Love it.
Been into Rune Factory since the original and gotten almost everyone of them for the DS and Wii. I was actually going to go get Rune Factory 4 today. Also I was really hoping for one on the Wii U eventually. Maybe Nintendo or some other studio could buy the IP and produce something equally as good.
I think the Gamepad is what made me have to get the Wii U. I already have a PC more powerful than a PS4 so multi-platform games were never a concern of mine, but the Gamepad gave me a different experience that I couldn't get on my PC. I grew up on Nintendo games (and Sega too), but the different gaming experiences in what has brought me back to Nintendo consoles/handhelds in recent years.
I got my Zombi U Bundle and felt it was a really good investment. Have Super Mario U (+ Luigi U), Zombi U, Pikmin 3, Monster Hunter Ultimate, Lego City, NintendoLand (which is extremely underrated), Art Academy, Wind Waker HD, Just Dance 4, Resident Evil Revelations, Wii Sports Club, among a ton of VC and indie titles. I don't know why people say there aren't games I have so many I haven't even been halfway through one before the next one I want comes out. This tradition continues with SM3DW. Can't wait for Friday.
strange cause I've played several online matches and I've only come across maybe 2 laggy opponents at most with 1 disconnecting before the start of the match, but other than that I've had a great online experience. I'm also in North America so the restricted servers might be the case? Don't know but seems fine to me.
I think the more important part of the update is that they said this is only for the WII U VERSION of Miiverse, thus the 3DS version and hopefully a unified account system must be close.
Seriously can't wait for this game. Played the demo at the Best Buy E3 event over here in America and absolutely loved it, even my girlfriend was having fun and doing surprising well. We'll definitely buying this on launch.
EDIT: Also wanted to say Nintendo has handled the switch over to HD extremely well and it's only going to get better over the years. Everything that comes out looks better than most other games.
Don't understand why people thought they would go with a Sunshine sequel. It was the lowest selling 3D Mario game (thought great) on they're least successful console...that's not a legacy they want to continue. Anyways was sold with the E3 demo, but this trailer just blew it out of the water. Don't normally do it, but definitely day one purchase.
"you will see the rise (and fall) of the very first democratic society in the world: the pirate republic of Nassau" guess they've never heard of Athens.
The problem with Steam Machines will be their price. Though it might be equal to a PS4 in price, we'll have to see how good the specs are and if the components are upgradeable (though they should be since it is a PC). If Valve and their manufactures want to take a hit in dollars per unit they could make an extremely competitive console.
However for those of us that can build PCs it will almost always be cheaper to buy the separate components and assemble it ourselves. I have a top of the line PC + Wii U, which I personally think is the best set up to get the best games out there.
Looks exactly like Limbo mixed with The Swapper. Two games I really love. I'll definitely get it if it comes to Wii U and probably also pick it up on Steam.
Went on the eShop today to check out The Wind Waker, only to see this. Looks like they just got me to spend $50 on both the Wii U and 3DS versions. Also getting The Wind Waker at midnight tonight. Damn you Nintendo for taking all my money.
What I don't think people understand and I don't think Nintendo has done a very good job of declaring it, but why the internal drives are so small in the Wii U is because they're SSDs. The SSD is flash memory--can run at 300-500 mbps, compared to HHD which max at 50 or so mbps--thus makes so the OS and games run faster, smoother, take less power on the CPU, run cooler, use nearly no RAM, etc. That way almost all the RAM can be used toward the games and not on background processes. It was definitely a smart move and I thought, at least, Sony would have followed suit. Instead they opted to put 8 GB of RAM in the PS4, but at least 3.5 of that is going to be used by the OS and background processes making it much closer to the Wii U than people think. I guess consumers aren't ready to understand the benefits of SSDs and just see 32 GB verses 500 GB and think Nintendo are just cheap or not offering value.

Re: NES Remix Confirmed And Available Today on the Wii U eShop
Downloaded it, and it's definitely a great game/s. Porbably not for people who never played the originals since to see them remixed is amazing.
Re: Rosalina And Luma Work Their Magic On The Super Smash Bros. Roster
