I told myself, I could continue playing this. Or put in Zelda HD or Pikmin 3 instead. Not a hard choice.

Sonic: Lost World feels more like a shitty rip-off of New Super Mario World then anything else. B-dashing in my sonic game.

I really enjoyed generations. It's just stupefying that he can't have even cursory knowledge of one of his consoles 6 exclusive games.

Generations was awesome outside of the horrible boss fight. Best Sonic game since the Genesis era.

I do have to bring up is how the Wii U GamePad is used. If you are playing on the television, the touchscreen will have nothing displayed on it and it stays blank the entire time. There are no options to quickly select levels or see simple information displayed. If you are going for off-TV play, it is the same deal as nothing will be displayed on the television. It is not the worst thing ever, but it made me want to use the GamePad less and that can't be what Nintendo and Retro Studios wanted.

demi · « **Reply #10027 on:** January 28, 2014, 09:08:02 PM »

That's a good thing. It bugs the living shit out of me when the gamepad does nothing but regurgitate info, or a video, or even audio. Waste of juice.

Sonic did this. It would pop up a (?) icon, and I'm like... what the fuck is that? Turns out you have to look down at the gamepad and press the icon. I'm playin a fuckin Sonic game, tell me right there.

In Rayman, after you beat levels you scratch off lotto tickets on the bottom screen. Ok, fine, whatever. But every once in a while, you will be scratching and it will not register your touch. Then you look at the TV and it says "Look at your tablet! Press A to continue" and you can't go back to scratching until you hit A. What the fuck

Nope. Different engine (so not Hedgehog Engine), semi-different sound direction, and took more notes from Galaxy than Generations.

Problem is they tried to do too fucking much and ruined the entire concept by trying to make a game for Mario fans that had 0 identity of its own. Sonic has a button to run? Sonic has to move around blocky Mario-like/Donkey Kong-like areas that aren't conducive to how the character moves? Why?

It isn't definite Watch Dogs is cancelled (yet)

I have Origins, but I don't have the season pass. Remember when EA said one of their reasons for bailing was the low activity figures online? I'd bet you anything the numbers for people who buy DLC is even lower.

I wouldn't have bought Wii U Pacman Museum, and I've bought all sorts of stuff for this thing, so they probably made the right choice there. The 3DS cancellation is bizarre though

Picked up a WiiU and am enjoying it so far. ZombiU is surprisingly great although I've only played an hour. I am really enjoying using the second screen which is a lot more than I can say about waggle.

NSMBU is pretty good, but some greater variety in locations like 3D World would have been nice.

I used to think I'd get a Wii U when they got down to $150 or so (clearance), but at this point I don't know if I'd even bother. I can get Smash on 3DS, don't care enough about Mario Kart for it matter, and can live without 3D World, Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors...

...and I don't think there's anything else on the system I have any interest in.

Brian Davis from Next Level Games tweeted about tomorrow's Nintendo Direct - hopefully they're showing a NLG Wii U project. Luigis Mansion 2 was awesome, as have been most games they've done for Nintendo recently actually...
https://mobile.twitter.com/GameplayDev/status/433696461188911105

Edit: someone reminded me of this actually,
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/10/us_retailer_lists_luigis_mansion_dark_moon_for_wii_u -- maybe there was something in that after all? I'd be okay with it, but they need new games more.

It'd be nice if we hear from Monster Games as well. I think we might finally see FAST Racing Neo or something and Soraya Saga has GAF thinking there may be some X stuff. Soraya also retweeted the November direct and I can't remember what was shown there... Might have been its-fucking-nothing.gif

I don't think it will hit €99. Retailers aren't stocking that many and unless Nintendo is sitting on millions of already manufactured consoles there is no reason to sell them as a loss.

Same game as DKCR but I'd say I'm liking this more due to the more varied playable support characters. Game also feels tougher but that might be in my head and I'm not far enough to really say if this is harder than it's predecessor. Graphically I think it looks solid due to simply how clean it all looks and 60 fps, albeit a must for this genre, is fantastic. I can't think of any negatives off the top of my head other than it really is "more of the same" but that's what I expected and I'm not disappointed.

If you liked DKCR and would happily play a safe sequel (I know I did) then by all means pick this up. I wouldn't buy a Wii U for it though.

For all three of us who bought DKCTF, whatcha think?

To me it's definitely the best game on the Wii U. 3D World was good stupid fun but I never found the level designs to be all that great, looking back. Fun romp but not the best plat forming. This game is really well designed in that department.

And I know it's the latest ninfag circle jerk, but Wise's soundtrack is truly wonderful.

Well, I didn't own a Wii, so I could play those platformers as well. Don't have the money right now though plus there's no really attractive bundle for it right now.

Exodust, I'd say it's more or less the same difficulty. The K stages are way harder to me in this game though, as compared to the last. You will have 99 lives pretty early into the game, and I'd say I lose two or three per stage. Mostly my fault, not the games.

I got a Wii U basic for $200 on sale, along with donkey kong and wonderful 101 (price already dropped to $30). It took over an hour just to download the newest firmware, and good lord even the simplest menu options take seconds to load up. I don't even want to know how bad it was when the console just launched. The controller is just "wtf" no matter how many times I look at it.

I only played a few minutes of W101, but it seems like Kamiya getting a bit too self indulgent. Especially with the player represented by a dozen little people and the shape drawing. I'm sure I'll get into it but I see why it's offputting to newbies and casuals.

Tropical Freeze is just like DCKR, looks and plays great too.

The only other game I'm looking forward to is Bayonetta 2, but I'm still pretty hype for it.

Stick with W101 until you fight the first major boss -- I think the opening is pretty terrible in terms of actually teaching you the game, it clicks the more you play it. There's still some jank about it in places, but its to be expected I think from something so manic and insane

I'd check out ZombiU if you can -- you can probably get it for $10 or less and its one of the best experiences on the platform.

If you're into drawing download Art Academy Sketchpad.

Rayman Legends is probably the best platformer outside of 3D World and Donkey Kong on the system. The murphy levels are better on Wii U and Vita and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
