DKCR and NES Remix feel like the only worthwhile ones of the bunch.

I only have gold status though, so I get stuck with the crap VC games that I mostly own already.

I don't see how someone could get to platinum status without already owning at least half of this shit.

Getting Earthbound, I already have it on SNES though and the battery still works too

Club Nintendo crashed :lol

Is this going to be Fatal Frame's fourth strike, or was Spirit Camera ball #1?

Maybe it's just me, but I think announcing a retail game two months before it comes out is dumb. I know Nintendo has done similar things in the past, but I'm not sure how that worked out for them.

Finished Pikmin 3. Last "boss" was annoying. Definitely not as good as the first two. Rock Pikmin severely underused, if not worthless. Same with Flying Pikmin.

Playing Wonderful 101. Lots to digest here... yikes. Hopefully Bayo doesnt requre this much needess complexity.

I'm glad this is on WiiU since I wont pull my hair out going for achievements.

It has the same system as Bayo, so you can cheese the game by re-loading, to ensure you get high ranks.

There are "bottlecaps" you can unlock, which are essentially achievements, but the problem is - you can unlock them out of the blue, but when you actually go to the screen itself, it tells you absolutely nothing on how you unlocked it. It might as well be a piece of clipart.

Theres a bunch of collectables in this game as well. Figurines, bottlecaps, "Platinum Coins" - so there is lot of replayability. It even has Alfheim Portals - I'm sorry, I mean Kahkoo Regah portals.

There are upgrades that are absolutely mandatory to alleviate issues, specifically the one that makes "drawing" quicker - and by quicker - it's almost instantaneous. It's like you have to grind just to unlock IAP to fix the game. Prices are astronomical for items in this game as well.

The game also explains absolutely nothing about actual gameplay. I suppose this is the argument where "we should figure it out ourselves" but I feel some of the stuff is pretty fucking basic enough to be given a nudge. I even glossed the in-game manual through the WiiU, and even that was sparse and lacking details.

i watched this video (yeah it's long,i know i know) and it looked like something i would enjoy



it seems the main problem is that to switch weapon you have to draw symbols on the wii u pad, which sounds gimmick and stupid but the reviewer goes on about the advantage of such a system (for example it let you dictate the size of the weapons,and it add another extra element to the game since if an enemy interrupt your drawing line, the combination won't work so you have to be carefull about how you draw things) if you don't want to draw on the wii u pad, you should have the option to create the shape with the analog stick but i'm not sure if it works better or worse or what...

oh also not only you need to buy the dodge move but you also need to buy the counter move, from what i understand some enemies can only be defeated with the counter move, sounds like a pretty bad oversight!

Forgive me if I'm mistaken as I didn't put a lot of time into 101, but I don't know why it's be impossible. The game is playable in off TV mode, and the only touch control stuff I remember is the drawing stuff which could be accomplished via the right analog anyway. The only thing that remains is the minimal motion control stuff to look around in certain confined, indoor areas. But I think tweaking those to work with other options hardly constitutes an impossible challenge.

Dan Adelman updated his LinkedIn a few days ago indicating that he's left Nintendo and it's being reported on so I can talk about it, lol. Good for him but Nintendo is pretty fucked in regards to indie development since he was the main guy there who actually gave a shit. The best part about it is that Nintendo's gag order is no longer in effect so now he's back to becoming a voice in the indie scene. His hilarious tweet is a sad reminder of how fucking backwards Nintendo is sometimes. It's unfortunate that NoA (and by proxy all of Nintendo) has to suffer because NCL is run by team of elderly morons.

While I can't go into details but I've worked with NoA in the past and have gotten to know a few longtime employees there. NoA is sadly utterly controlled by NCL and things have gotten way worse in the past two years. Ever since the Wii U launched NCL has been reigning in processes thinking only they know how to sell the thing. While they are still actively hiring for a lot of positions I think a lot of people are getting tired of how things are going.

It's how Nintendo of Japan is referred to when you're dealing with the several subsidiaries. NCL = Nintendo Company Limited. When you're publishing a game on a Nintendo platform and you're dealing with EFIGS or just lot-check you often deal with all three branches, NoA, NoE, and NCL. So that's where the term usage comes from. I think they also refer to themselves as NCL on fiscal reports but I'm not sure.

a good chunk of the minigames are about using both screens.  you can play it on your TV picture-in-picture style, but that small window ends up covering screen areas you need to see.  so it's not really thought out.

New Mario Kart 8 DLC makes the game 1 billion times better.

Hits Japan on August 27 with the Mercedes-Benz DLC (who cares.) International release unconfirmed but I can't think they'll hold back these features for long:
  • Records screen, will include total coins, online win-loss ratio, character selection rates
  • Improved online stability
  • Default menu option changing to "Next Race" (currently "View Highlights")
  • Previously-used customization options (Kart/Bike, Wheels, Glider, etc.) will save across system restarts
  • Edit others' highlights
  • Map display will be added to the TV screen (currently only available on GamePad)

THAT LAST ONE! FINALLY!  :hyper

I AM FREAKING OUT



(Now they just need to add some arenas for Battle Mode.)

Edit- Why the fuck isn't :hyper working? :mindblown

I've been playing TW101 a lot over the last couple of weeks as well and I just recently completed it 100% (ie. got all 101 achievements). The game can be really annoying to play when you're starting out because your character is so underpowered. You don't have any special attacks like the stinger, launcher, or the spin attack, and you have to buy basic functions like dodging, blocking, and Witch Time from the shop. The game is padded to hell and back with all of the leveling up, purchasable items, collectibles (all of which are valuable) and unlockable abilities, but it is great once you grind through all of that shit.

Yeah I suck at Mario Kart online as well.  I did pretty well on the Wii version but I suspect that is because the Wii version sold more copies so there were more casuals playing it, which meant I was more likely to get paired up with them.  Here it's the hardcore players that have likely sunk 1000+ hours into the game at this point.  I can't compete and don't feel the need to build up my skills so oh well.
