I'm not really a roller user, but I really like the speed of this. Don't really run and brush anymore and just swing it to cover s lot of area near me as I move forward. My best score with it so far is a little over 1200 (including the bonus).
@rjejr in splat zones, sometimes it is better to take the long way if the other team isn't really close to winning. If your whole team is almost taken out and it looks like your teammate is in danger then it may be best to not jump to them which could get you killed and take you longer to get to the Splat Zone.
@leo13 when you go into the battle dojo and it says press ZL and ZR on the controller, make sure you are holding down and B before you press them. Then when on the weapon select screen press a button on the Wii Remote (they say 2, but I think any should work).
Also make sure that both controllers are synced to the Wii U.
@DreamyViridi in the picture that shows a remote strapped to the pro controller, it even shows the down, b and triggers in red, but I would have never thought it meant to press them in battle dojo.
@rjejr I can't remember if the prices had increased to $65 before Mario Kart, but I do remember paying $65 for Smash Bros. Wii U's are $330 and I think I saw PS4's for $450, but after doing some checking I'm seeing some bundles now ranging from $400-$500
I had almost no problems, the last session it took me a couple tries to connect, but other than full rooms I had no problems. I think i ran into a laggy match maybe twice out of all of them, but they weren't even that bad.
@Operative in Canada it is $70 although when converted to US it is under $60. Canadian prices have gone up in the past year, it used to be the same as the U.S. for all game prices.
@ThomasBW84 I just checked and last year the top game was Youkai Watch with over 60000 (not new) and 3DS sales had a decent boost with a bunch of 3DS games out. 3DS sales were around 30000 while Wii U was 8000 (3000 more than the previous week).
I wish this was for NA too... It's $70 retail and download in Canada. I could get this on my Japanese Wii U for almost $10 less! (Only thing holding me back is I would need another hard drive, although that would push me to get Xenoblade X too)
I'm actually pretty excited for this. It's quite a bit of a stretch now I think, but I would love to see Nintendo announce dual gamepad support as well as this being the first game with it at E3.
@Ichiban same, I thought it would have reached 10 million by now... While it seems a bit unlikely, I hope that some game/games will be able to give a good major boost to the sales.
I like that we are now seeing GBA and DS games added to the Wii U and Gameboy games on 3DS, but it is unfortunate that we don't get a lot of releases for it anymore.
Thanks for the update! I've had this since the glitch happened so I'm glad to hear it is now fixed. I've been mainly working on my challenges while I waited for it. Only have 12 left now!
Tested this on my Japanese Wii U, but I unfortunately got games that I already own aside from Donkey Kong Jr. Hoping it is different if I use it on the NA version.
I hadn't even heard about Monster Hunter until Tri was mentioned in Nintendo Power, but since then I've been hooked on this series. I personally hope that we see under water battles return again. I even go back to 3 Ultimate sometimes despite havin 4.
@VortexTraveller It may still be okay, I think it may only happen if you had beaten the modes with all characters before using Mewtwo. I would check by trying to connect online to see if it still works.
@ThomasBW84 I think that when it mentioned 3DS, it just meant Smash Run only since it isn't on Wii U while the other modes mentioned could cause the bug on both versions.
I didn't know about this for awhile when I got my external hard drive and because it kept going into sleep mode, it would sometimes not load when I was returning to the home menu from some games. I think I just heard about this late last year.
Someone from SmashBoards quoted this from the smash bros subreddit which seems to be a good explanation of what caused the glitch.
"This happened to me. It says I have a GSP of zero.
This is likely because your "total score" is actually subtractive in the 10- and 100- man smash. What it does is, after completing 10 or 100-man smash with every character, it adds up all the times and displays your total time. You can then whittle down this total time by getting better scores with various characters.
But because of Mewtwo, the definition of "every character" is wonky. So the GSP for this "total time" just displays as zero. And I guess if the game detects a GSP of zero, it detects this as trickery, and won't let you go online.
I imagine that this glitch only effects people who have actually completed either 10- or 100-man smash with every characterm including Mewtwo."
Also it appears that it is only the 10-man smash and that all other modes are okay according to another post from the SmashBoards. Although it would probably be safer to not do any Multi-Man Smashes.
Also I don't know for sure, but since Classic mode also has a Total High Score GSP with all fighters I think it might not be safe to use Mewtwo if you've played it with everyone else already.
I definitely prefer local co-op to online, sometimes my friends and I would set up a couple TV's so we could play Monster Hunter Tri in the same room haha.
I also hope we can see a new four swords game soon or a re-release of Four Swords Adventures on Wii U. One player could use the gamelan while the others could use a 3DS as the other screens, it would be much more convenient than the way it worked on GameCube.
At first I thought it was specific battle stages... (I'm personally ok overall with the current battle mode, but it would've been nice)it looks like it will be pretty interesting and fun doing 200cc though.
@Axed84 wait it went up again? I know that Wii U games went up to $65 last year or so and Playstation and Xbox games went up to $70 for most. I guess that would explain why Mario Party is $60...
I doubt I'll get it... Not very far in the game and I think I only got around 5000 points last time. There were a little under 20000 people at the time and I was in the 8000's.
Actually I believe you just have to find the 8-bit toad in the level, but it is just played normally. It zoomed in to give viewers a hint as to where road was as a demonstration before revealing it after the countdown.

Re: Video: We Get Artistically Destructive With The Splatoon Inkbrush
@crimsontadpoles if you swing it a lot then it can cover lots of area fast and it is good for fighting others up close too.

Re: Guide: Use these Splatoon Tricks & Advanced Techniques to Improve your Inking
@rjejr oh ya I kind of hate it when the battles are one sided... But the maps with 2 splat zones tend to go to the last second for me.

@MaverickHunterX it did say one of them, meaning that there were others. Although right after that it says "if not it's biggest" release.
