I loved this! It was a mixture of being funny and overly nostalgic. Makes me wanna watch Season 1 again. Thankfully Netflix rules and decided to add it to their Instant lineup.

Awesome!

@Obito_Sigma I can't vouch for Child of Light, but Cloudberry Kingdom's definitely worth the $5. It's a fun little platforming title from my experience.

I have $20 right now. If I don't find a good use for it by Friday morning Rayman Legends will be mine

Whenever I'm able to log in, I'll be getting Link's Awakening DX with my last 205 coins.

I'm not gonna pay $35 just so I can use GameCube controllers with one game.

@suburban_sensei I bought a Y-cable for my 500GB Western Digital external hard drive, and I've been using that with my Wii U since I first got it. Altogether it cost around $55. It's really a good choice in my opinion.

Metroid Prime Trilogy, of course! And soon after, the Code Name S.T.E.A.M. demo!

I've been a fan of SMB since I've been gaming and I had no idea about this!

I had a similar experience to this, only it wasn't a game idea.

Back in the day when Nintendo Power had a section solely devoted to Pokemon, I had always wanted to have my artwork shown in the magazine. So one day I got very creative and drew up a bunch of Pokemon all over an envelope and mailed it in.

A couple of weeks later, I received a letter from the staff complimenting my art work. However, because I had sent in the envelope stamped and everything they couldn't use it in the magazine. They had once again complimented what I had done and told me to keep it up.

Yeah, they could have just not used my art and moved on, but the fact that they took the time to respond was cool.

Glad to know the game's selling well. Bought Hyrule Warriors just before Christmas and while I got distracted by other games for a couple weeks, I picked it back up and I'm hooked. Having never gotten into Dynasty Warriors before I'm having a blast with it. I strongly recommend it.

Very good news!

Hyrule Warriors! I love the soundtrack.

Also... Super Mario 3D World, Pokemon X/Y, and that Shovel Knight soundtrack.

I'm not including Smash only because I've got that soundtrack coming my way from the Club Nintendo promotion.

broke as a joke, but when I get money I plan on getting Citizens of Earth(bound).

I loved playing Terraria when I still had my PS3, and I'm sure it'd be played constantly by me if it comes to Wii U.

walks into the comment thread, then walks right back out of it

The only game here I don't have is Excitebike, but considering more are on the way for February and I only have 200 coins, I'm gonna wait it out and see what else is offered.

Awh. I guess I'm not too surprised though, I saw this coming ever since Elite status earners only got digital offerings last summer. On that note, I did earn Platinum for a fifth year in a row, so yeah, this kinda stinks.

If it isn't broken I'll give it a shot.

This is amazing! Too bad I don't own any import games.

Galaxy 2, no questions there.

Downloading Super Mario Galaxy 2 ASAP. And I never thought I would be able to type that sentence.

This just helped me get the last of the gems I needed for Episode 1. Thanks!

@cfgk24 Assuming you're not being sarcastic, why'd you bother clicking then?

Debating if this is worth my purchase or not. I've played the original a heck of a lot, and the original is probably my favorite 2D Mario game, but reading this review makes me wanna give the GBA remake a try. Is it worth double-dipping?

I love when people come here and comment on a story just to trash on it and say something very condescending like "Do a story that's actual news" just to sound edgy. I'd rather read this than some made-up crap or a gloom-and-doom article parading itself as an Opinion piece.

@rjejr Haha right?!

@bro2dragons All I thought of was the Jim Carrey parody of that ad campaign. Liiiiiiincollllllllln.

@wreckgar23 A little over $3 or $4 would have done it for me. >.<

Nothing for me, but I'm not complaining because I've got plenty of games to play already. But for anyone that has yet to get Shovel Knight, now's the time!

I was just shy of the 500 points necessary to redeem a voucher. Oops.

I'm currently playing through Bayonetta 2 for my first time, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'll take more Bayonetta in any form in 2015.

This is all I want for the next console:

-First and foremost, no more 'Wii,' anywhere in the name.
-Have competing processors/RAM/ROM/etc. so it can stand with the other consoles and win third-parties over.
-A built-in hard drive with triple-digit storage numbers. Why people should have needed to go out and buy external storage for an eighth-generation console is beyond me.
-A solid marketing campaign backing the console, which should show people exactly why they should get one without relying on storied franchises. (see the 'Wii would like to play' ad campaign).
-Allow support for Wii U games (somehow).
-Unified account system so your downloads don't disappear if something happens to your console. Also, cross-buy implementation. There's no good reason why I should have to pay for the same game again on my 3DS if I already own it for Wii U, or vice-versa.
-Oh, and an Ethernet port.

I was trying to think of a way to spend my last few eShop dollars. Now I know what I'll do with 'em.

Mario Kart 8 is lucky that I don't really care about Battle Mode, otherwise my vote would have went to either MK 64 or MK Wii.

Got it this morning. Very much worth it.

Darksiders II is also available for $7.99 until January 6th.

Pac-Man, Ness and Duck Hunt Dog!

Mega Man 6 and 7 are mine! (Finally)

This is gonna be a fun way to kill time until the ham is out of the oven on Christmas. Hoping my fellow European gamers get release info soon instead of later.

Oh, and Merry/Happy Christmas to everyone at Nintendo Life--the wonderful staff and user base alike. (only saying it a week in advance because I might not be on much in the next week or so)

Well, I guess I can wait 'til next Christmas then.

@audiobrainiac Yeah, it's hard for the other choices to put up a "fight."

I'll give Lucadian Chronicles a shot!

"Guess what kind of game it is..."

Uhhhhhh... a deep, open-world RPG?

@GreatPlayer I never said that, you twisted my comment around. What I said was that the Sonic Boom glitches are far more widespread. I even acknowledged in my previous comment that the error codes are awful and Nintendo needs to make a fix, like, YESTERDAY.

@Dipper723 All I said was if it was cancelled it wouldn't surprise me...

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if this were true, given how long it's been since its announcement coupled with the fact we've seen literally nothing since the "Development in Progress" teaser.

@kamifox1 Yeah, but not everyone is encountering the error code though, unlike the Sonic Boom glitches which are much more widespread--enough so that no review copies were sent out. I'm not saying those problems aren't bad--I think they're awful. I feel sorry for anyone with bricked consoles, and Nintendo needs to fix this, like, NOW. But it seems to only affect particular consoles... which is also admittedly weird.

@Akira_1975 Figured so. I guess I won't sweat it then.

Okay, so I wanna get something straight here. I play the disc version. I haven't once played the game online yet. The only thing I've done online is spectate a match. When I'm done playing, I leave the menus and let it go to the title screen before hitting HOME and going back to the Wii U Menu. Are my chances of encountering the error slim, or should I avoid playing the game entirely, just to be safe? Because I really wanna play, but I'm not doing anything that'll ruin my console. I can't afford that right now.

EDIT: I save everything to an external hard drive.

@Koz Yikes, thanks for the heads-up. I'm gonna go ahead and hold off from playing it at all until Nintendo addresses and resolves the issue.
