I haven't gotten beyond an hour in it because I was getting bored, ran into a puzzle that was entirely timing based (or seemed so), so I gave up and haven't gone back. Maybe I was expecting something different or more complex.

Puzzles still all involve stamping, whistling and climb/drop platforming.. it's not one-room stuff, but you can safely assume when you encounter a checkpoint emblem that you've encountered a puzzle, and stay in that area (using the respawn chirp) until you're able to progress and find the next one.

I don't recall anything time based, but there are a couple of puzzles where you have to plan things: for example using a wall bug and a frog to lure a bird away, so he won't snatch you until you want him to. Or.. stomping near an aggressive creature so he'll run through long grass, cutting it all away so when you next guide a wall bug or frog through birds will see them and carry them to the next platform. There were occasions where the game needs you to do something you might not think of at first... Like killing a wall bug so it respawns back where it came from, to be used again or used as a distraction... deliberately provoking bats to kill things so you don't immediately get killed yourself... Other stuff is more conventional environmental puzzle stuff. Putting things through portals where they won't die. Having fireflies follow you for dark caves etc.

I was really impressed by the variety of puzzle solution considering toki tori only has stomp and whistle for moves. It's really creative. The lack of a tutorial or guiding hand probably hurts it for some people.. You just kinda progress however you can, learning new chirps, finding the hidden frogs to complete the game, but it never expressly tells you that.

I can see why people would find it boring, it's very laid back, but it's satisfying to actually beat

It should be easy to test before you leave home. Just move the gamepad out of range and see what happens when you try to start the game.

Where are you up to in it?

I've had it for over a week but I've been busy so I've only played it about three times. I've enjoyed it though!.. I'm on World 3 at the moment and in some respects its quite similar to Rayman. The minecart/log-flume stuff feels a bit like the music runner levels, and the rocket-barrel stuff is just mental. I was pissing away lives on some levels pretty early on. The difficulty is at a good level.

Some of my favourite levels so far..

World 2-4 Sawmill Thrill

World 2-6 Wing Ding

World 2-B Rodent Ruckus

World 3-1 Grassland Grove

World 3-3 Frantic Fields -- enters a hurricane at 1:27

Tasty · « **Reply #10097 on:** March 10, 2014, 12:36:45 PM »

I've found out that DK isn't balanced for multiplayer at all. Lots of little things that make playing with two players almost impossible unless you pick 2P up multiple times during the level. Like, there's a barrel that fires and self-destructs automatically as soon as one player jumps into it, leaving the other player to get chewed up by the oncoming razor blades. Or the bonus stages with barrels that waste 5 seconds every time the players fall into different barrels. Not to mention that just in general because of how hard it is having two players compounds the issues.

Thankfully they don't bump into each other like NSMB.

There's also been a lot of collectables I can't jump high enough to get as DK but Trixie has no problem. Pretty annoying.

I bought the original to play co op with my wife and it was worthless.

Liked the Giantbomb QL where one dude dies, then the balloon thing falls through to the bottom of the screen so he loses a second life, then the remaining dude falls off the ledge and loses two more lives even though the first guy didn't even respawn yet.

I'm at World 5. I don't think it is a bad game but it isn't an exceptional game either. The metacritic score of 82 for this game is pretty apt; it's a B- platformer. Which isn't a bad thing and I'm glad they sold it at $50 instead of $60.

I started playing Wonderful 101 and it's a bummer so far. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for two reasons: kaimya, and the demo started you with more abilities/upgrades and I remember enjoying it. But shit, the cutscenes, qtes, constant interruptions, random stuff popping up on screen with no context in the menus, etc etc make a terrible first impression. Used to be that these games didn't dick you around before the action. but then again Kamiya made Okami...

And the fixed camera seems real bad. Enemies will attack you from off screen and there's no indicator that it's happening. In the first level there are these tank enemies with two basic telegraph and strike moves, but you can't see them telegraph those moves off screen. The only way to move the camera is to run to that part of the arena, but then you're leaving other enemies on the other side of the arena to blindside you

On the plus side, I'm not having real control issues since switching to the 360 controller. Still seems like you need the tablet nearby for certain actions. An example is for the quick items you use with the d-pap, the hud icon is on the tablet screen. Another is how going into buildings switches the view to the tablet. And while you can hit select to switch screens or make it picture-in-picture, you can't interact with that second screen without the tablet.

really hope it's just a shaky start

cool breeze · « **Reply #10101 on:** March 21, 2014, 03:00:32 PM »

wonderful 101 gets better and ends up alright but stays a bummer. really disappointing to see kamiya make a game more about style than gameplay.

at least the story and style is entertaining enough. it's super sentai crossed with gurren lagann. and the core combat is fun, even if it's simplistic compared to other action games. but the level and encounter designs are kinda lazy/bad. you'll end up fighting a pair of giant metal turtles over and over and since the combat feels more puzzle-y, you're basically going through the motions each time. at least the boss fights are fun...when you're allowed to fight the bosses.

the big problem is that it's constantly making you play different mini-games. if anyone remembers those bad parts of bayonetta, the motorcycle and shit-space harrier parts, that's all throughout wonderful 101. it wouldn't be so bad if the mini-games weren't around the quality of those levels in bayonetta. and the qtes, long cutscenes, etc never let up. it's game that keeps distracting you from playing the fun part, and the fun part isn't great on its own.

and it has some rough technical problems. load times are terrible. there are loading times to enter and exit loading screens. it's literally: black loading screen > 'training area' loading screen (this one is long) > black loading screen. frame rate doesn't hold at 60 and there are sections of the game that crash the frame rate, like a reoccurring (long) boss battle where it's constantly choppy and slow. that tends to be annoying in most games but here it affects the line drawing and it's downright frustrating when the difference between sword, whip, and hammer are slight curves. and there's the bad camera, controls, and occasionally glitchiness makes it feel strangely unpolished at times.

anyway, the Wii U Pro Controller is amazing. I had the controller since wii u launch, and started to use it often ~9 months ago when a pc dongle came out, and after all this time it dropped to 1 bar and the charge light turned on. and a few hours later it's still going. 80 hour battery life

yeah, some people use bluetooth with it. I got the dongle because my desktop doesn't have bluetooth and I like the simplicity of it. The dongle made by a company called "mayflash" and has a nifty switch that lets you change between xinput (360) and directinput (better for emulators).

downside for using it as a 360 pad are its lack of analog triggers (mainly a problem for driving games). as an emulator controller it's great because you have four shoulder buttons; not springy triggers or clicky bumpers. another adjustment would be the right stick/button switched position. it takes some time to get used to but I'm not having problems with it anymore.

WiiU Saved, $8 GBA ROMs for all

Quote

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo is planning to make April a month to remember for fans of classic games with weekly Virtual Console releases featuring renowned entries in many of the company's most beloved franchises. From April 3 through April 24, select Game Boy Advance titles will launch in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U each week. In addition to off-TV play, these games feature Restore Points that save progress during game play, and Miiverse functionality.

Bowser and the Koopalings are causing chaos yet again, but this time, they're going beyond the Mushroom Kingdom and into seven neighboring worlds. Lucky for the brothers, they have more power-ups than ever before. Fly above the action with the Super Leaf, swim faster as Frog Mario or turn into stone and drop onto enemies as Tanooki Mario. You can even choose your path on the map to reach the end of the World. There, you'll have to pass massive Airships filled with cannons and fire traps to reach a showdown with one of the Koopalings.

F-Zero: Maximum Velocity (Wii U, $6.99): Get your adrenaline pumping and race plasma-powered machines till your knuckles turn white.

Honestly buying a Weeooo after that comes out isn't such a terrible thing to do. Wind Waika, Donkey Kong, MH, those two Mario platformers, and MK8 ain't so bad. 360/PS3 ports were an option too, like Arkham Origins, but I guess you'd probably buy those on 360 or PS3 given the choice. System's only $300 for the good version now, too.

Now, if you bought it at launch, you're a moron, but that's never not been the case. (I include myself in that.)

Not that WiiU hasn't earned it, but should DICE be chucking stones about tech stuff right now? Isn't Battlefield 4 *still* broken?

Frostbite team isnt part of DICE anymore.

well, okay, same question applies. i just don't know that those guys should be tossing stones considering the level up of fuck-up that's occurred with that release. frostbite engine doesn't seem to be running properly on *anything*, never mind the wiiU.

fb is fine. It was DICE devs screwing up BF4.

i remember sort of liking it the first time i went through it but i would count it more on the novelty of "FIRST GBA RPG'S!" than the actual game considering the mention about the awfull pacing, super dry combat system and generic storyline all hold true there is also a few gimmick that kinda make it sort of like lufia like using spells to solve in-field puzzle's and lot of equipment to fuck around with and the ability to change which spell character can cast by switching the summon they have... the summon also looks pretty cool for a 2001 portable game

even if you do get it, the game ends in a cliffhanger and can't really be finished unless you play the sequel too which is exactly the same game except with a different party, in fact you can't even get the best summon in the sequel if you don't get all of the summons in the previous game (the two game are linked by a code so you can just uses a code that has everything unlocked if you don't want to bother)

Is it just dice? Seems like every game using Frostbite tech has kind of been buggy and/meh.

A lot of people seem to love the game but I thought it was just "OK". The story wasn't interesting and full of tons of meandering dialogue, some dungeon designs with the puzzle aspect were neat but not on the level of Lufia 2 or the better Wild Arms games. And the soundtrack is typical Sakuraba so you probably already know where you stand on that.
