Re: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, amiibo 3DS Portal and New Nintendo 3DS Hardware Dated for Japan

WanderingPB

People complaining about a price about a game they dont care about? I got over 500 hours in New Leaf and i have not interest in this Home Designer but i know many would! My sister loves and goes crazy over the Theme Challenges in NL and many other do as well. Designing your home takes alot of time and a lot of work look at NL and Digby and the Happyhome showcase....home design is taken very serious by some people which explains why this game was probably created. This game is not for me and Im ok with that and the prices are not officially announced for the West and nobody has had there hands on the game to know how much content there is...and like those Splatoon commercials THEY ARE NOT MEANT FOR YOU (gamers in the know ya know)

@rjejr Im also a bit skeptical about Mario Maker a part of me agrees with you 100% but another part of me wants to believe there's a secret Ninty is keeping before the games reveal...maybe E3? and it has so much potential like honestly Pushmo has an incredible community of creators and have downloaded many and have cursed out almost all of them😓

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

@rjejr Yup 1346 points total after the 300 win bonus was my first time reaching over 1000 by myself 😎 but unfortunately it doesnt happen that frequently in fact its only happened twice so thats why when i do get it it feels so good! LOL! right now im rocking the Custom Splattershot jr but look into the Kraken Roller its seriously a force to be reckoned with but i personally test the weapons before buying them because one of the specialty splattershots just didnt fit my style so i truly believe you must find your True Monado! LOL!

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

@rjejr Technique Squidward Technique!!! remember in Battle Dojo its all about those balloons especially towards the end but splatting your opponent subtracts 5 from their score so its kind of a balance strategy ya know.

also agreed that those Level numbers dont mean much its kinda like MK8 with the VR it comes down to skill honestly but i never underestimate the high or low numbers i just stick to my strategy because i get surprised everytime but i must admit getting over 1000 points feels really good 😉

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

@rjejr im in the same boat my son is playing as we speak and i am only allowed to watch since i opened up a can of whooping in Battle Dojo my son told me he needs to practice more! LOL! so no playing jntil he goes to bed😓 i believe the amount of salmon eggs you collect becomes transferred into currency once you defeat the level and the DKTF complentionist like myself can't help but collect all those bananas uh i mean eggs 😆 i noticed extra money in my account and also unlocked some rare weapons but i will also double check i was playing very late last night so it couldve been an oversight on my part

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

@JaxonH @rjejr Battle dojo is straight 1 v 1 local multiplayer nothing is earned or unlocked but my son loves to trash talk about how easy it is to splat me but i end up smiling at the end because he's so preoccupied getting me he forgets about the balloons and i come out victorious 😁 besides i dont want to unleash my "Golden eye" skills he might end up resenting me LOL! but overall its just a quick 1v1 match that honestly if it had 4v4 like Golden eye it would be much more fun in my opinion but still a fun mode to play

EDIT: i meant if it had 4 local multiplayer like Golden Eye it would be awesometacular

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

@rjejr this oddly resembles our debate about MK8 DLC except for a few minor differences but the sarcasm is still whole heartedly there😋 and as much as i'd love to retort with another story of a wolf i am also disheartened that we have to pay full price while it seems everyone else is getting a discount...definitely feels wrong NOA but i disagree about the delivery because I actually believe Ninty will deliver just like the MK8 DLC....so my friend i guess we will wait and see but until then i hope you and your family enjoy your summer hopefully we'll meet up for some inky turf escapades though i must practice also improve my MH3U skills because sadly my son is complaining that i need to do more😓 man i feel old

Re: Poll: Early Impressions on Splatoon and That All-Important Online Multiplayer

WanderingPB

Well im rather impressed with Splatoon. I immediately jumped online and after 3 hours of online play i got disconnected once during a match. But i believe the true gem of this game though is the Single Player. The platforming, inking and secret scroll finding is really awesome. I hope that they add more missions in the future.

@Peach64 so you only played online and ignored the single player and battle dojo and wonder why there's not anymore content? Kind of obtuse my quietly repressed friend you should try to enjoy all aspects of the game but i do agree that the extra F-R-E-E content should've been there from the beginning

@rjejr i noticed the same thing in 2 matches that im spraying ink but nothing gets covered then a few seconds later it magically caught up and inked up all the areas that i couldnt ink before...maybe its a sacrifice in order for the game to run smoothly perhaps? It is anyoing especially with the clock winding down. and i also disagree my son enjoys Single player, online and the battle dojo so its definitely worth $60 pesos...funny it reminds me of Pikmin 3 we played more bingo battles and challenges after beating the game so replay value is extremely high and absolutely worth it in my book

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Skell Models on the Way in Japan

WanderingPB

It's foolish to hope for a Limited Edition Xenoblade Cross here in the West but man i really cant wait to play this game and these models aren't helping because im sadly going to have to import one since they wont make it out here

@rjejr word...but I'd be happy with a Riki plush. Go hard or go home ya'know!

Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Dishes Out Alternative Awards and Announces Final Two in Super Sixteen Showdown

WanderingPB

DKC Tropical Freeze is my GOTY...but as far as this showdown my WiiU says i have over 300 hours playing MK8 so that's where my vote is going

@ricklongo i absolutely agree no questions asked DKC Tropical Freeze soundtrack is legendary...in fact im krazy enough to say David Wise created something equal to if not greater than his original work...there's so much depth in each song...Abyss amiss...my mind cant take it!!!

Re: Koji Kondo Discusses Music Creation for Iconic Mario and Legend of Zelda Games

WanderingPB

honestly ive taken for granted the amazing music that has been a part of the classic games i've grown up with...now i listen to these game soundtracks in my car! recently i was listening to the Zelda symphony cd that came with Skyward Sword and i cant help smiling and feel great about hearing them played by live orchestra...i hope more people take the time to truly appreciate the hard work composers put in these great games!

also my Soundtrack Of The Year goes to DKC Tropical Freeze and an honorable mention to Shovel Knight and Bravely Default whose sdtks were also amazing!

Re: Review: Tengami (Wii U eShop)

WanderingPB

@sinalefa absolutely!!!! MK8 is going to be downloaded today yes...but when i get home the first thing im going to do is buy Tengami. this is the indie game ive been looking forward to ever since i heard David Wise was composing the soundtrack! DKC Tropical Freeze without a question has the best soundtrack of 2014! this is sort of a "Rare" reunion and im more than happy to support that also Stealth INC 2 was really good if you haven't already bought it.

Re: Poll: Buying Bayonetta 2 - eShop Convenience or Battling for Copies in Stores?

WanderingPB

i pre-ordered my copy at the Nintendo World Store and picked it up last night after work. it was awesome to see them constantly restocking Bayo2 from the wall but they also had a huge stack behind the counter…

i dont expect it to sell SSB figures but i hope it continues to sell well and wow the demo doesnt do this game justice…im in love and Cereza has just topped DKC TF as the number 1 game on my WiiU list! it makes u want to explore that world so much and whoever thought finding all these crows would finally give me a reason to happily use my miiverse stamps LOL!!!

Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy

WanderingPB

@rjejr my friend im waving the white flag as well…i couldnt even reply to the MK8 dlc convo we were having…why must u push our debate this way all the time? as always i appreciate and respect our back and forth banter my friend LOL!

so what do u think the odds are that the censored image in Sakuari zapper miiverse post could be Bayonetta?!?!?!?! im sure @sinalefa would have his fingers crossed that it could be possible…

…yeah i know dont even say it…im just going to slowly walk into my living room and play some double dash and hide my tears until tomorrow

Re: Feature: Five 'New Things' We Want in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

WanderingPB

5 new things id like in SSB…

1. Wonderful 101 characters
2. Bayonetta
3. Wonderful 101 characters
4. Bayonetta
5. hmmm this on is tough…how about the W101 and Bayonetta as playable characters?!

yeah so i voted for 8 player battle royale…why not DLC well i never liked the thought of buying DLC characters that shouldve been in the game to begin with but in all honesty if the offered Cereza or W101 i would buy it…i would very much like a new unique feature that will add to the awesomeness that is SMASH BROS

Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy

WanderingPB

@rjejr im sure my friend we could go back and forth for day's on these topics which is what's great about having these open discussions without resorting to childish name calling u senile old coot 😉 but all jokes aside ur honesty is why i respect ur opinion even though we dont always agree

The biggest complaint i ever heard about W101 was about the controls which most people rushed through and ended up with that nice little pretty princess necklace as a trophy…dont be ashamed it just means u could do better LOL! or maybe im biased of its art style since i love anime and Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game so what can i say…

how about this analogy…a geriatric wolf goes to the store to buy milk, but they recently improved the milk and its container for better use and storage, gets home complains that he can't open the container as usual, tries multiple times but fails so he refuses to figure it out or ask for help and curses the the milk and its container and huffs and puffs and ends up blowing his own house down because he just gave up…the funny thing is the only difference was that he actually forgot how to open the container and lived the rest of his life baffled and bitter and never ever drank milk again…sad story but describes ur DKCTF predicament. did u watch that youtube link? the original DKC for the SNES in 94 was just as difficult and never had Super Kong so they added it in many complained about it and they took it out because EARNING the successful completion of the level outweighed the simplicity which was the super kong feature. question did u give up on Champions Road too? but since thats 1 level at the very end u got ur money's worth so its ok in ur book…

"one last time"…Grandpa dont get snippy with me if difficulty was NOT the issue then how come u gave up after trying "countless times?" a core integral piece of DKC in fact a staple in the games design has always been CHALLENGING DIFFICULTY…opposite of out favorite legendary plumber...so to say that the lack of the "super kong" feature was a the main issue is wrong because that feature wasnt always there and being that DKC games are always challenging maybe its just that u didnt really understand what u were getting into and if its not for u then its not for u but the game is fine and im sure if they WERE still with us Jax and Daxter would say that DKC TF is a masterpiece of challenging platforming but im also sure Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg would argue that his fun factor wins by a landslide!😝

breathe...rjejr...breathe 😉 i didnt mean to grind ur gears but everyone plays games for their own reason and we're all grown up so no one can tell us different. i play games to have fun and any accomplishments within that regardless of how long it takes me im proud of…i take my time with every game and sometimes play multiple games but its my choice. im not knocking ur decision my rebuttal is with the logic behind ur decision which we wont agree on but thats ok we wont always like the same games or play them for that Pure Platinum trophy that after losing so many times that when u finally get it the accomplishment makes u want to earn it again. F.U.N. f is for fire that burns down the whole town, U is for uranium bombs, N is for no survivors…oh wait thats planktons verse from spongebob sorry but fun is fun ya know LOL

of course @JaxonH is responsible for all this he's the mastermind that set up the pieces back in February when he recommended DKCTF to u…diabolical genius LMAO!!!😂😂😂😂

Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy

WanderingPB

@rjejr "Outside of the obvious reasons W101 failed - new IP, low Wii U install base, 3rd party on a Nintedo console, looked and played like a PS3 game (Nintendo fans seem to hate stories and especially full voice acting), cartoon graphics that sort of made it look like a $15 downloadable game, well OK that's a lot to overcome, but its still a great game, and I think historically will be recognized as"

well i guess the misunderstanding of u belittling W101 comes from the way formulated ur opinion…kinda like spitting in someones face on purpose then saying its ok because u are going to give them a nice pat on the head afterwards. W101 designs models and background layouts are very impressive especially given the way multiple things are happening on the screen example Operation 001-C…that alone knocks out ur points of it looking like a downloadable game and ps3 like. New IP, low install base and 3rd party? i believe i stated this to u before the article about SSB 50 direct yesterday but i'll only state it seems ur not familiar with the selling history of Platinum game GEMS…but u could re-read my comment for reference😜

i know how u feel about DKCTF in fact i believe we've discussed it's merit before…my 8 year old son even beat Lord Fredrick co-op is even better but u collect banana coins bo buy some extra lives! even if the WiiU had the ps4 share feature it wouldnt change ur opinion because if u couldnt pass 2W 2L by urself then the rest of the game would eat u alive...the K levels, secret seclusion, time attack and Hard mode i found to be so challenging and so fulfilling that to me its the best 2D platformer ive ever played. but i believe this link best describes ur situation:
http://youtu.be/5MSHw_dBiA4

@JaxonH i know my friend i know but it always rubs me the wrong to hear anyone talk negatively about DKCTF which as of right now is my number 1 game on the WiiU…or maybe im biased because platformers are my favorite…but from level design, gameplay creativity, tight controls, mind blowing soundtrack and a truly challenging platformer Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze holds down the throne no questions asked in my book

Re: Talking Point: Platinum Games Has Secured a Golden Wii U Legacy

WanderingPB

@sinalefa i concur i truly dont like microsoft bcause of their business decisions but im getting an XB1 when Scalebound hits…Kamiya is a developer i trust and that will by the time i will get all the games i have missed since launch…Well played microsoft well played

@rjejr not only do u belittle W101 but u also complain about the masterpiece that is DKC Tropical Freeze??? your entitled to ur own opinion my friend but u are so wrong…or maybe we just appreciate games differently…either way Carpe Diem

Re: Yoshi Circuit From Double Dash!! Makes A Comeback In November's Mario Kart 8 Zelda-Themed DLC Pack

WanderingPB

@rjejr it's just grass u old dust fart! sheesh! XD

ahem need i remind u the frame of mind u possessed while pondering whether or not us should purchase the Hyrule Warriors Season Pass???? now for that game which many (I included) doubted had faith after playing that the season pass would deliver and just that additional Adventure map was worth it alone…u bought it knowing very little but opinions from the community and how u felt about the game. Now YOU tell me that ur not sure about pre-ordering MK8 Nintendo Quality add-on content? YOU who feels MK8 makes the WiiU complete…have reservations about preordering this DLC?!?! 12 bucks for $30 worth of content that ninty wouldnt normally give us until a decade later?!?! my friend stick ur tongue out at me all u want but ur riding that special little yellow school bus all by yourself! LMAO! and um u never told me which color Yoshi u preferred losing too well some of us have to learn the hard way i guess having one of my favorite tracks from DD remade has me on cloud 9 so excuse my maniacal hype!!! man i really hope the bring back Double Dashes Rainbow Road…i cant stop smiling!!!!!

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Gives a Glimpse of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Fighter Reveal

WanderingPB

@rjejr well my dear Weird "Al" Yankovic impersonator i humbly disagree. Allow me to remind u of the history which the GEMS of Platinum Games unfortunately have…they dont sell like hotcakes and the truth is that most "casual" gamers are intimidated by its deep, intricate, well crafted gameplay mechanics and style. Madworld a low budget wii exclusive only sold a total of 700K in its lifetime (profitable) while its sequel higher budget which skipped the wii Anarchy Reigns went multiplat and only sold about 900K in its lifetime…then dont forget our lovely Cereza who sold a little over 1 million and a combined install base of 160 million…and then no one cared or wanted to help make Bayo2 because regardless of its high praise its numbers werent enough...numbers trumped a highly rated and praised game…while mediocre games like watchdogs that sell like hotcakes are turned into regurgitated franchises that are considered successful and sought after…how sad is that?

W101 is intimidating to most casual players its deep gameplay mechanics from a quick glance seem confusing and broken but to those who master it and explore the game is so rewarding! i tell people did u know u could customize ur play style like in Bayonetta? u like witch time did u know u could use the custom block Hero's Time and it does the same thing? not so good at dodging attacks did u know u could use the Hero's sense custom block to help u avoid the insanely fun madness around?…learning a game should never held against it and thats what most reviewers did and unfortunately it showed what type of gamer they really are…casual.

so my friend W101 regardless of its platform wouldnt have sold great numbers regardless of its "install base" as history has proven already. but i must agree with u that W101 is the most creative action packed game ive ever played and though 3D World is awesome W101 is my GOTY for 2013. All the Wonderful ones and Bayonetta would be great Nintendo mascots heck even Sonic being multiplat stands tall and proud with Nintendo mascots so why cant Cereza ya know!

@sinalefa i never thought about them like the custom mii…great point! im keeping my fingers crossed too for DLC but i know u agree that it deserves much more than that.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Gives a Glimpse of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Fighter Reveal

WanderingPB

@rjejr i concur my friend. i know its a mature title but Bayonetta would be awesome in SSB…heck if Snake can do it Bayonetta most definitely can in my book! i always hoped W101 would be in smash and have a specific Wonderful One as a dedicated move for them grouped up like up "A" could be wonder green doing his Dante gun shots and the up "B" could be Blue doing his wonder rising sword! theres just so many possibilities! i really wish W101 had sold more because it kinda hurts that they're now just trophies…i feel they deserve better ya know

Re: Yoshi Circuit From Double Dash!! Makes A Comeback In November's Mario Kart 8 Zelda-Themed DLC Pack

WanderingPB

@rjejr shad up and just give them ur money u krazy old coot and complain about something else LMAO!!!

When it comes to DLC its always up to the player to decide whether the content is worth their purchase similar to pre-orders but this is the FIRST maio kart game where we get more content added on instead of waiting for the new game in the franchise which will unfortunately be on the future console…sure ur complaint is valid pre-ordering dlc with no release date but for $12 ur getting 16 Tracks…half a game…its takin awhile sure cuz nintendo does it right and wont easily release unfinished product. why complain about them remaking an old favorite just enjoy it for what it is…a bigger better mario kart game that will only improve and give us more with the next mario kart…

oh and DOUBLE DASH is the best mario kart eva ;p

Re: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Wii U Delay Seems to be Due to 8GB Basic Model

WanderingPB

@rjejr no worries but im curious if TRU will also have the SSB amiibo bundle? or if it can be combined so u could get two amiibos…but like u said happy they're offering some incentive to get consumers to pre-order from them now we need Ninty to spread the word!

im happy Cereza & other Ninty games are gettin sum love in GI magazine for a change…also incase ur interested they have finally restocked the extended battery in the Nintendo store for NA. doubles the charge time of the original gamepad battery.

Re: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Wii U Delay Seems to be Due to 8GB Basic Model

WanderingPB

@Spoony_Tech agreed release the game and let the consumers decide or buy an external HD.

@sinalefa 3D world is a labor of love and they took the time to learn how to properly utilize the WiiU which unfortunately i dont believe some devs consider it worth the time to do when its easier to just have the cpu do most of the work

@rjejr seems Toys r Us has a promotion for SSB WiiU preorder and get a free amiibo! nintendo must have finally heard you

Re: The Photo Studio in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is Perfect for Comedy

WanderingPB

@rjejr um…yeah im sorry…guess i kinda went on a little rant there…seems October 24th cant come soon enough for me LOL!!! im also sorry to hear ur save file in Hyrule Warriors got overwritten…45 hours lost must hurt but the game is so much fun to replay but some of those adventure mode challenges can be frustrating and to lose those gives me a headache imagining doing them all over again so much to play and so little time also dont forget about the MK8 add on content thats also around the corner…plus dont forget all those colorful Yoshi's taunting you LOL!

Re: Video: We Tackle the Legendary Hyrule Warriors "Master Quest Pack" DLC

WanderingPB

i must be honest this was my biggest surprise game this year because if it wasnt for the demo i played at the Nintendo store i wouldve missed out on this awesome game! the additional adventure maps alone is worth the season pass but like the MK8 DLC i have no regrets and have so much to play im going to be busy for a long time but once Bayonetta 2 comes out everything else shall have to wait for Cereza LOL!

Re: The Photo Studio in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is Perfect for Comedy

WanderingPB

@rjejr there's no hype for Bayonetta 2???? LMAO!!! my dear friend allow me to put this in a better perspective…YOU may not hyped for Bayonetta 2 but after the Bayo2 Nintendo Direct and the recent highly praised reviews its currently sitting on number 1 for WiiU game preorders on Amazon so the hype is there…but it would also be unrealistic to assume that Bayo2 would get any mario kart or SSB hype or advertisement unfortunately. The original Bayonetta sold a little over a million units even though the PS3/X360 had a combined install base of over 160 million…so this beautifully crafted GEM niche title was never meant to be a blockbuster hit but probably meant to add to the unique Quality game library of exclusives that u only get on the WiiU. people always complain and say 1 game aint worth buying a console so now the WiiU library is no joke and is only getting better which will make a reasonable logical consumer give the WiiU a shot…XB1 is looking alot better to me than PS4 but Scalebound has made me biased LOL! in fact ive seen tv commercials for Bayo2 in the evenings on Comedy central and Adult Swim so they're trying but advertising wont matter people have to play Bayo2 to understand its greatness hence the demo release. and even though i see advertisements for skylanders i honestly could care less about that game and am glad my son isnt sucked into it as he used to be so just advertisement alone wont be enough word of mouth, youtube and miiverse will promote Bayo2 better that Toys r us ya know. and any big SSB news will flood the media so nintendo waiting to release more information about it until after Bayo2 release is smart because it gives it a better chance to sell more and i also believe its lifetime sales will be alot better and like W101 i am hoping for a continuation of the series.

so my friend though we see things differently for Bayo2 i do agree that Nintendo needs to step up their marketing and advertisements for this Holiday season especially on the eshop. oh and did u dwnload ur Hyrule Warriors master quest pack yet? did u notice that nice big new adventure map we got…see didnt i tell u it would be worth it alone just for those adventure maps! YOUR WELCOME! LMAO!!!

@Grumblevolcano i concur my friend u said it better than me!

Re: Turns Out The GameCube Controller Adapter Won't Be Compatible With Other Wii U Software

WanderingPB

They always advertised the gamecube adapter as a way for Smash players to use wired gamecube controllers for Smash on the WiiU…i understand people want more uses for it but its amazing how that turned into so much emotional negativity. And its an OPTIONAL purchase…so why so serious? Maybe it's use could be patched in the future or maybe we could see gamecube games in the virtual console soon but until then you either buy it or u dont. I want to get the bundle with the adapter and GC controller and this news hasnt changed my mind because its optional and thats how i prefer to play Smash

@rjejr "let's settle it in smash"…um was that a challenge my friend? because if it was i happily accept and if u by chance happen to defeat me my son will avenge me and infuriate u with his smashing skills LOL!

My son is the opposite he's still enjoying Pokemon Y plus he's in a search for "shiny's" so alpha & sapphire can wait until next year but knowing my mom he will also have it for it for xmas. Im actually confident after playing smash3ds that the WiiU version will jam packed with goodies an will not disappoint…how u ask? I dunno which is actually the exciting part for me LOL! Besides im more worries about this amiibo business we need more info on how it'll work with the other games to justify the purchase (even though they look really really cool)
