Both this and the Pokemon Go Plus would be so much more useful to me if there was an option to stop them from disconnecting after an hour. I like to wear mine at work because there is a stop close enough for me to hit and I can't be on my phone. Often when it disconnects I can't pull my phone out to reconnect it and end up going a while till I can. It's nice that they're looking out for my battery life but let me make that decision.
A coworker and I played it a lot when it first launched, going to this local area near work after our shifts for hours. But I just lost interest. He still asks me, non-stop, and no amount of me telling him I don't want to and I don't care to play anymore will help him understand.
He's the 1 still playing for all the people who quit. Now of he'd just leave me alone about it...
A Switch port and some fixes could make this more worth it. Add an outline or sparkle to items, fix spelling errors, maybe add the ability to warp to the starting room in exchange for some time to help with backtracking (Or not, I'm just brainstorming here) and this could be more worth a purchase.
It actually does restore some faith for me. I was thinking of canceling mine, since needed the phone unocked for it to work defeated the purpose for me. I can't have my phone out at work and this means a nice portion of my day I can still make use of the app. I walked a lot at work. And if it doesn't work I'll return it.
Day 1 I got to play and managed to get to level 4. Day 2, can't connect. Still can't connect. I was stupid and already spent $4.99 in the game so I don't want to restart with a Google sign-in, but it's the only way I can get into the game.
In all the Club Nintendo email giveaways I don't never got an email with a code, be it this or demos or what-not. I probably won't get one this time either.
@BertoFlyingFox It's 40min from me too! I'll have to go check it out. It'd be nice to get some of their neat things without paying shipping. Though... add in the gas to get to Orlando... hmm.
I got Giana Sisters during the last sale and I found the load times to be crazy awful. I don't know if it was because it was reading from my external or what, but it took so long to load levels that I just gave up.
Buy up Bomberman, Adventure Island, Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom, and Bloody Roar! Please Nintendo! Or at least start getting some of their titles out on the VC.
I want a brand new Princess Tomato game. And now I also want a salad.
There are so many characters I want to vote for that it's hard to decide. In the end I went with Inkling (Boy/Girl) since I think they could be a very interesting type of fighter, and you could switch between the genders like with Villager or Robin. Also, I didn't want to vote in anyone who already has a series that is pretty strongly represented, like another Mario character.
I bought Style Savvy for 3DS back when they had the Donkey Kong (NES) thing going on. I got it mostly for Donkey Kong but ended up loving it. I really, really hope we get the new one too.
I was in the 8000s last night, just checked again and now I'm in the 30,000s. I'm not far enough in the main game to be strong enough to get high enough scores. Oh well.
I am always happy to see more tables for ZP2! For a long while that was one of the most played games on my Wii U. My friends and I would just pass the gamepad around while we hung out.
I'd be nice if they made Splatoon amiibo that you could save your character, clothes, and load-out to so you could do local play at a friend's and have all your stuff there.
As for the new releases, I'm going to try and get Ness, Pac Man, and Charizard from that set. MAYBE the FE ones. I'm not the biggest FE fan but I like their use in Code Name S.T.E.A.M. And I'll try to get the Super Mario ones. I'm kinda unhappy Mario Party 10 has it set that everyone moves together, like they had in 9, so I don't know if I'll get that game, though.
My friend got super lucky. He called a local GameStop and someone had JUST traded one in. That person got $5 for the darn thing. My friend bought it for, like, $17.
I wanted to get all the Amiibo that unlocked costumes in Mario Kart, and then the ones I really wanted just to have. With how difficult it is to get some of them, though, I'm starting to give up. I have 8 amiibo now, and they are all ones that I wanted, but there are still some I want that I can't get my hands on.
My local Target says they haven't gotten any Rosalina Amiibo in yet, but should any day. From the looks of it, as well, they haven't stocked any series 2 yet. Another, sorta close, sold out of everything series 2 except Zelda. As far as who I want from series 1, I got Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, along with some others. Anyone else I want is pretty plentiful so I'm taking my time. Pikachu will be on shelves for a while, I'm sure. And if I miss out on him I don't mind.
I pre-ordered everything I want that I can off Amazon. Rosalina was the only exclusive that I wanted and I never saw the chance to pre-order on target's website.
It would be nice of this came Westward. I use my phone to tap and pay some places and it would be cool if I could use it on my 3DS. Softcard and Apple Pay would make it pretty convenient.
@JaxonH Some of the DLC is available for Watch_Dogs but the biggest of them isn't, and Ubisoft said it isn't coming. At least, that's what I've read on various news sites like this. It's late and doesn't feature all the content. I love my Wii U. I play it more than any other console I own (and not just because my PS3 is acting up), so I'm not saying that to be mean. Maybe we're squabbling over the term "gimped" but what I meant was that the fullest experience isn't on the Wii U, as all the DLC isn't present. http://mynintendonews.com/2014/11/17/watch-dogs-on-wii-u-will-have-some-dlc-on-the-eshop/ http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/watch-dogs-launches-on-nintendo-wii-u-brings-2-dlc-packs-but-leaves-bad-blood-dlc-out-27305 Just a few google results. For some reason joystiq isn't loading for me right now but they also had an article on the missing Bad Blood DLC.
Zombi U wasn't my favorite experience on the Wii U, and the endings were pretty upsetting - being as both were the same ending, but it was fun while I played it. Not the kinda game I'd ever go back to. I'd be really happy with a sequel, though, that improved upon the first.
Hopefully, like some people said, Ubisoft sold this to Bandai Namco and this is actually happening. If Ubi is hoping Watch_Dogs does well on Wii U, as a marker of succuess for their IPs, they're gonna be disappointment. The game is gimped and took too long to get to Wii U. Anyone who wanted it bought it and got more content with it. The few that only have a Wii U to play it on (like me, since my PS3 is broken) won't make up enough numbers to give them anything. And, of course, despite them doing everything in their power to give Wii U owners the lesser version of a game many reviewed at mediocre, they'll blame the consumer for not buying it.
Hey, at least Rayman Legends was fantastic. Ubisoft should just make an entire Rayman game that is nothing but the music levels. Rayman Rhythm Run. You can have that one for free, Ubi.

Speaking of the figures being scanned through packaging, I remember back when Pokemon Rumble U was released I read a thread on GameFaqs of kids buying entire boxes of the the figures, taking them home, scanning them through the packaging, and returning what they didn't want. One person even said he took his Wii U into the GameStop to scan them there and got kicked out. I uh... I bought a few and let lady luck decide what I got.
That's really awesome! Super surprised to see more DLC coming. Bravely Default lost me after the halfway point (as it did a lot of people) but I really loved the music. Hopefully this means even more Square RPGs will get some songs added.
Nintendo sent me a bonus survey on Club Nintendo a few days ago all about Amiibo. Mostly asking if I knew what it was, if I planned on buying it, and stuff like that. One of the questions was how I felt about the possibility of rare colors or re-colors of Amiibos and I cried a little. They're gonna make every single Villager from Smash and I'm going to buy every one while my friends try to hold me back and talk sense into me. And it's my fault because I told Nintendo I liked the idea. It's all my fault.
Friend of mine actually lent me his NES a few months ago and this was one of the many games he let me borrow. I can get to the 2nd level and that's it.
Also, I was really excited, thinking this was an announcement for Monster Party on VC. Now I'm sad.
I sorta think the "check downloaded stages" could be used with the create-a-stage feature on wii u. You might be able to share stages.
If we get any DLC at all I'd imagine it would be new colors and costumes. Everyone wants Dad Bowser and I could see those costumes, plus more, coming to the games.
