While I do like the Wii U version, and this version does have its downsides, I still have it pre-loaded. That Super Mario Challenge and the ability to create levels on the go are enticing.
As much as I love Lego Dimensions, I'm finished with the Wii U version. The game just wasn't stable for me. Every time a new pack was added, the game would lock up and crash when I started a level. I've gotten the Xbox One version recently. While not without problems (one arcade game just keeps crashing the whole thing outright) it runs much more smoothly and updates aren't nearly as problematic.
A very solid list. I have several of them. Only one out of the ones I have that I did not finish is Xenoblade. Mainly because I got both that and Fallout 4 at the same time.
Several years ago, my dad bought an Xbox 360 to play Guitar Hero 3. We've had a 360 ever since. Granted, the use of that died down once I got a Wii and Wii U, but we still dug it out for rockin' or playing Monopoly. I myself have since bought an Xbox One, mainly for Rare Replay and a few games I couldn't run on my computer (such as Doom 2016). Gotta say I like having both consoles and a computer - plenty of options to pick from.
I have to say I'm really enjoying this tiny console. I love the CRT filter too. But, like it's been said, the controller cord length is a bit of a problem. Hopefully amazon gets those two cord extenders I ordered back in stock soon.
As for games, I'd say the library is pretty solid. The only game I'd really replace would be Ghosts N' Goblins. I'd probably replace it with either the original Mega Man or Ducktales. Never had the pleasure of playing the original variant of Ducktales.
@PtM: I would, but unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of owning one. But I think one of the new Smash versions should do - they have pretty long cords.
Still holding out for Majora's Mask, Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, and Super Smash Bros. Pretty much the only ones left I'd like to update to the native Wii U Menu.
Despite having a good chunk of the games on there through Virtual Console, I'm still planning to get one. Bit of a collector. That, and I'm getting one mainly for Final Fantasy (and before anyone says, yes I'm aware it's on Wii VC, but I'm done buying games through that menu). I also love the portability factor and multiple restore points. Maybe I can finally beat Zelda II!
Seeing as I have a nice collection of NES games through Virtual Console, I won't be needing this on my Xbox.
While I know it's an emulator and all the other legal mumbo-jumbo, Microsoft should've at least seen the red flag with this. They shouldn't have let something like this through.
I won't mind grabbing this - with the analog stick and holding the Y button to run, it'll be pretty much like Super Mario 3D World in terms of controls. That and I love playing as Luigi and Wario. And the casino games.
I think I'll snag Mega Man 7. Then I'll have the first 7 all on one system! Too bad I can't grab 8 though- that's the only one I'm missing at this point.
If this is true, I'd only be grabbing the Sonic Legos just to have them - after the original constantly crashing with every update, I'm not in any mood to play it at the moment.
Really wouldn't mind a new one in vein of Sonic Unleashed or Generations. Lost World had decent gameplay, but it just didn't click like the high-speed antics of Unleashed.
I'm still collecting these days, but even then my collecting is slowing down. Probably won't grab many more amiibo after I complete my Smash collection (whenever the final three get released) and I probably won't grab many more Disney Infinity figures after 3.0 (especially if they decide to put Kingdom Hearts in a future installment), and I've all but given up on Lego Dimensions since every time a major update is released the game crashes constantly.
Regardless of what's coming on this NX, I'm still sure I'm not picking it up at launch. I've still got plenty to do on my Wii U games - Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Splatoon, and Xenoblade Chronicles X in particular. Plus a few Wii games I got that I missed out on earlier in its lifespan, and a decent number of Virtual Console games.
I am really, really glad I do not play Smash competitively. I'm content with 100% completion and collecting the amiibo (with only three left to get to complete the entire roster).
I played agianst a toruney regular once. I wasn't mad that he wiped the floor with me - I was quite impressed, actually. Picked up a couple tricks from him too. But I couldn't play like that on a regular basis. That, and I'd probably get strange looks from people since I usually play as characters that aren't higher tier (like Little Mac, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo, for example).
@Expa0: I know where you're coming from. I mainly downloaded her to get that awesome Clock Tower stage. Just played Classic on 2.0 and All-Star on Easy for the trophies. Wouldn't be able to hold my own playing as her in a match among friends though.
Whatever the reason, be it CPU, greed, whatever, I don't care. I'm just glad I have Super Mario World on the go again, and will be getting EarthBound and the DKC trilogy.
I'll be happy to get Super Mario World and the DKC trilogy for on-the-go. I'm also thinking of holding off on Mega Man 7 until it hits the N3DS over here - might as well have that on there since I got the Legacy Collection.

Would've loved that feature. Well, I still have HeartGold at least.

Re: Random: The Classic Controller Can Be Used to Reset the NES Mini
@PtM: Ooh, I didn't even think of that! I'll have to dig mine up and see if it works.
Re: Random: The Classic Controller Can Be Used to Reset the NES Mini
I'm enjoying my new toy now. I do have some extensions ordered, but I still have a few classic controllers. I've got plenty of options all around.

Discounts for games I already have yet again.

Re: Nintendo Download: 14th July (North America)
Never thought they'd add another system to Wii U's VC
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Wii U / N64)
Guess we'll be waiting till the end of the year for this.
After all, we just got Super Mario RPG.

Re: Review: Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge (Wii U eShop)
Something to put my collection to use in. Sounds good.
Re: Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled
@DarthNocturnal: Wouldn't mind Toy Story and Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow myself. Loved those games as a kid.
Re: Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled
This bummed me out last night. I really enjoyed Infinity. With just over 90 figures, no less.
Kinda bittersweet in a way. On one hand, no new content after June. On the other, I'll be saving quite a bit more money.
I guess the only thing I'm truly bummed about is that they never made Oswald a playable character...
Re: Nintendo 3DS Games Sure Look Pretty In High Definition
Kid Icarus: Uprising in HD... I need this in my life.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Looks Set For The North American Wii U Virtual Console
I'll keep this one in mind since I haven't finished the 3DS version yet. Wouldn't mind seeing the differences between console and handheld.

I might get Mario Party DS.

That's what I love about Hyrule Warriors - defeating huge legions of enemies and it being a HUGE love letter to The Legend of Zelda.
Re: Here's Why SNES VC Games Can Only be Played on a New 3DS
