thx RevengeFan i took the second code. seems i got the e-mail with the codes though so ill give back what i took by giving out one of my codes B0HHJTBC3H9LMBW3
@ULTRA-64 imo it doesnt group people by level very well if at all. im lvl 7 and i have had a person around lvl 20 in every match last night. ive also seen the game put 4 less than lvl 4's on a team versus a group of 5+
if your looking for amiibo i would suggest going on a road trip to a small town with a gamestop or any other store that sells amiibo. i went to my gamestop to pick up splatoon and they had a good amount of splatoon amiibo and probably others( wasnt really looking). i could have got the 3 pack but i just dont have the money for that right now so i just bought a splatoon boy
session 1 analysis. no problems connecting online or staying online, tutorial is useful but not the biggest fan of gyro controls(i immediately turned them off when i could), joining matches is quick but matches got disbanded often for multiple reasons, squid jump (which can be played while waiting for a match) is a cool idea but gets boring very quick( i hope not all the other minigames are locked behind amibos), matches are fun but i havent quite figured out the best way to play, the splat roller seems a little overpowered almost 50-75% of people used it, and tbh 1 hour of play time isnt the worst, i got about 8-10 matches in and by the time it was over i feel i have had enough(at least of whats available in the test). ill be playing again tomorrow for session 3, session 2 is way to early for me
oh so i messed up i thought the time for friday was 8am pt (11am et for me) and i would be at school, when its acctually 8pm, so i will probably be able to play tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
it seems completely idiotic to release a demo that can only be played for 3 1 hour time periods. of which i will probably only be able to play 1 hour of because i have class at that specific time tomorrow and the first period on saturday is way to early for me. im assuming that they have further plans for this demo, at least i hope so because that was really a waste of a download if it isnt. what idiot came up with this idea? ya i know this will probably increase sales but so would a 48 hour over the weekend or even 2 weeks of an online demo(beta).
im just hoping i can get 1 splatoon amiibo on release day. im hoping they are producing a lot of them like the few amiibo that are always on shelves (mario, peach, luigi, etc.). i might get lucky though my gamestop seems to not sell out of amibos last time i was in they had more than a few of the rarer ones, its great to live in a small town.
maybe if people link their nintendo id's on the site they will see that there is demand for the game but also this could just be added because nintendo is finally allowing nintendo id's to be connected to sites.
its not yet available in the us, at least for me, and im worried, the page on the eshop says "free to start" what this means im only speculating but if it means you get to play to a certain point and then you have to pay its really gonna suck.
i have no plans of buying wolly world but i think i might buy one of these yoshis if they are the same price as the other amiibo. mostly because i like the idea that its something other than a sculpted figure. it does though need to be compatible with Smash though for me to buy it, which i would assume it is.
@robotron2084, the control scheme without the circle pad pro or c-stick is controlling the camera with the stylus and movement is done with the the circle pad. so if you write with your left hand its unplayable and there are no other control options that i have found. essentially yes it is pikmin 3, but pikmin 3(at least the demo) has other control options.
@AyeHaley i'm going to make a prediction that like all nintendo games that have online play that the voice chat will be limited to private matches. mostly to keep their games family friendly because, as you know, any time open communication is allowed in online games their is always profanity. its just a shame they cant come up with another way around this like a very easy to find option that turns off voice chat for children.
@sarkwalvein 1. that would never happen. 2. ok i guess i wasnt specific enough in what i meant, i meant something that gained popularity through being a freely used item like the tollface meme or any popular meme you can think of. I can go right now to a website and make a meme using the trollface and use it in a youtube video and get ad revenue and no one will ever even care. obviously, if someone were to take say the luigi death stare "meme" and try to make a game out of it, something every knows is obviously related to nintendo and try to make a game on a sony console nintendo may take it down( well acctually nintendo wouldnt care and the game would suck anyway). i guess my point is that people dont freely go around using nintendo's assets but everyone uses memes because they are accepted as being usable by everyone. also i'm not in any way defending meme run, the game is most likely bad and deserves being taken down.
thats so stupid, one should not be able to make copyright claims on any of the popular meme pictures outside of being able to say that they are the original creator of that drawing. hundreds of memes are made from those pictures, so if your going to try to get one game to be taken down because you want money you should have to take down all the memes and other games down too. also there are still more than a handful of games out there that use the trollface, so great you took down one game.
i cant even get on the site to get the code its always down for maintenance. was able to log in 1 time and tried to get the code but then it went down for maintenance again
hopefully this means sharing and the miiverse stage is coming to the wii u soon. not the biggest fan of replays, photos, and custom characters but i think custom stages could be a very useful addition. even though along with that comes the "weird" stages.
how about itagaki finishes devils third before all the mature wii u gamers and call of duty wii u players switch over to a different console. dont blame the nintendo community if u wait 6 to 12+ months and the game bombs because there is no one to buy it. missed opportunity. either way i will probably buy and play it even if it isnt a financially successful game.
@Spade_the_prinny na they should, most of them that make big money on youtube put at least 40 hour work weeks making videos, editing videos, and everything else. its a job just like anything else
@clm ya it took me a while too. i got code from someone that said they had codes and i gave them my e-mail and they e-mailed the code to me, its the best way. wish i had a code to give u ill keep checking
still didnt get an e-mail. already got a code though during the last code release thx to another member on nintendolife. would like to give back to the community
seriously if anyone is looking for amiibos just come to smithfield, nc we have like 2 gamestops, i havent been their in a few weeks but when i bought an amiibo on release day they hadnt even put them out yet, i was the first one to buy one and it was like 2pm. i bet you can get whatever amibo you are looking for
the only problem i seem to have is it takes a while for the game to start up and it always skips the opening cinematic when i first start it up, i dont know if thats a glitch or just normal. i hope this doesnt happen to me. and i hope they fix it fast i want to play online but i cant gauge how large the problem is but by seeing that a few people in the comments have it that must mean its more than a few people
this article is kind of late, other sites reported it days ago. i hate to say my lvl 30 pikachu beat me a few times. they get pretty good. also the cruel smash miis are incredibly cruel. i think u have to KO just 1 to get duck hunt and i tried everything. i think they were a lot less difficult in previous games.
i have to say that the basic wii u probably isnt worth it unless u plan on buying an external hard drive or are only going to play games on disc. i have the deluxe one and its already half full(15gb used) and i dont even have that much downloaded
@mateq that would acctually be really cool.although i did just think that if this game were to be made that the only people worthy heading that game would be sakurai, who is probably really tired after making SSB and is probably going to be working on dlc or miyamoto, who only wants to advise projects.
i like the back grounds and all but i dont want to have to hear the smash bros theme the entire time when im on the menu. can we get the ability to change the music please.
@danjohnson141 supposedly not, i havent seen anyone try it but there is a sticker in the bottom of the box that may or may not stop you from doing so. im still gonna try it when i get mine
so the amiibo loot crate program has been announced it cost $50 a week and you get the standard loot crate stuff (mini-mag etc)and a special t-shirt with the last one. the first 2 packs have 4 amiibos and the last one has 2 amiibos. so am i going to buy it, hell no. i was only originally going to buy a few amiibos anyway and $160 in 1 month is pretty expensive. if it was $30 like a month maybe i would consider it, even if it was only 3 amiibos per package
a solution i came up with though would be to attach a unique code to each amiibo and when it is used on multiple consoles the system downloads the data from a server for the amiibo. its not the most technically cool thing because the data is no longer store on the figurine but it solves the storage problem
so basically what im getting from this is that the point of amiibo was to be able support multiple games but because of tech limitations they are only capable of holding info 4 one game. am i the only one that remembers someone saying( i think it was miyamoto) that amibos would have a large portion of their storage devoted to the game they are from and the rest would be for other games. certainly made it sound like they had a sufficient amount of storage then, what now.
