Game

[Tasty]

Nah, I've had good experiences.

[Trent Dole]

Ain't doin' more than $200. It's basically last-gen tech and PS3s and 360s cost $200 now.

Apparently not.  Persona V and MH4U beat it.

[Joe Molotov]

Can't believe it's beating out Bullet Girls. What part of the Japan game is this?

[Yeti]

The Last Guardian is on that list, wasn't that cancelled?

[Joe Molotov]

The Last Guardian is on that list, wasn't that cancelled?

Only when they pry it from Ueda's cold, dead hands.

[Tasty]

Isn't Team ICO cold and dead?

[Joe Molotov]

Isn't Team ICO cold and dead?

Yeah, but no one's bothered to pry Last Guardian out yet.

[Tasty]

Isn't Team ICO cold and dead?

Yeah, but no one's bothered to pry Last Guardian out yet.

I'm not sure there's actually anything to pry out. Vapor doesn't linger.

Do not fuck with musou, Magus.  You have been warned.   

[Trent Dole]

Japan fucking loves them some Musou, Hyrule Warriors will do just fine over there.

[a slime appears]

w101 is horribad. it's like someone made colorectal fasciitis into a game.

Nope. You're thinking of Anarchy Reigns which is an interactive version of campylobacteriosis.

[magus]

i had a chance to try the wii u this evening, a friend of mine let me try the demo of wonderfull 101 and some stages of super mario 3D world, i liked the demo of W101 but to be honest i found myself taking a lot of hits because there is so much shit happening on the screen AND everything is so small that it's easy to miss stuff AND all of this happens while you are trying to figure how to draw shapes and figure the control AND you lose all your attack power as soon as your team gets hit because they fly away and then you have to recover them

super mario 3D world looked super unimpressing,we only played 2 stages, the first and the last... to be honest i was impressed to see that the last stage was actualy difficulty but at the same time kinda annoyed that it was based on galaxy, even if i understand trying to have an impressions of the game by playing just 2 stages is ridiculous somehow playing the game put my minds at ease in a "well i guess i'm not really missing much" kind of state

[demi]

Finished W101........ thats all i gotta say



Flipped a coin, and playing 3D World now.

I liked that game a lot.  Multiplayer versus was fucked up but the co-op stuff was fun.

What are the best wii u games? What should I know about owning a wii u? What's the cheapest way I can get a wii u? How is wii emulation? Are there any free games on wii u? That are good? Is there a cheap way to play xenoblade? Is anyone willing to let me borrow it or something?

Japan fucking loves them some Musou, Hyrule Warriors will do just fine over there.

Actually, musou doesn't sell that well these days, and it's pretty niche even in Japan, the only recent exception being One piece musou's.

[Trent Dole]

Huh, I thought I'd seen some of the games in the upper reaches/top of the charts their first weeks of release.

[demi]

I forgot to mention that my amazing Wonderful 101 review would not be possible without the generousity of my good brother-like friend Slime. He may not approve of my life choices, but I am always grateful that he hasn't shipped me off to Makeb yet. 10 years strong, bb <3

- Wind Waker HD

Releasing soon:

What should I know about owning a wiiu?

That you are only buying it for Nintendo games, everyone jumped the fuck out. You can play Wii games. You need Wii controllers to play Wii games. You cant play Gamecube games. Nintendo's online is still garbage. No account system. Don't buy digital. If it breaks, you're fucked. If it's stolen, you're fucked.

What's the cheapest way to get a wiiu?

Suck dick. Look on CraigsList. Buy refurb unit for $200 from Nintendo online store. Wait for Black Friday.

How is Wii emulation?

It's not emulation on WiiU. Unless you mean Dolphin, then it's decent.

Are there free games on WiiU?

Not really. Demos.

Is there a cheap way to play Xenoblade?

Suck dick. Look online. Trade.

Is anyone willing to let me borrow it or something?

No.

Posting this here just because I like the word "arse".

[magus]

Over the Bon festival period, Japanese retailer Tsutaya recorded Wii U software sales four times that of the same time in 2013

so they sold four copies of hyrule warriors?

[Howard Alan Treesong]

"soon to be coming" disqualifies P5 and "console" disqualifies MH4U, so I'm still rappin' COOL!

Yeah, I gave up on waiting for Persona 5 and am selling my PS3. Either it'll come out for PS4/Vita or I'll play it on PSNow streaming or I'll buy a PS3 again or I won't play Persona 5.

ALL POSSIBLE OPTIONS

well, it's their fault for making a wii u game,

Well, media create doesn't mean much these days nor does getting to the top.

YES, VALIDATION. THAT IS ALL I NEED.

[a slime appears]

Forgot that Nintendo's Digital Deluxe Promotion existed and checked in on it after like a year. Turns out I had $20 of free credit waiting for me!

Looks like the free games Nintendo was handing out this year (for MK8 and Platinum Status) also counted towards this so anyone in this program and redeemed Wind Waker HD got at least a free $5 for the Wii U and 3DS eShop.

[demi]

Time to jerk off to some Bayo 2

Not a fan of my Wii U's light blinking to make sure I know about nintendo's latest ad

Disable that shit, then

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Oh, so that's what that is then.

I haven't turned the Wii U on in three months.  Can't be assed to disable the blinking light.  Maybe when Hyrule Warriors comes out I will turn on the Wii U again.

[cool breeze]

(fatal frame)

probably not coming to america 

[Joe Molotov]

So this'll be the third Fatal Frame game we haven't gotten, right?

[bork]

Fatal Frame will also have Ayane as a playable character.

Bayonetta 2 came out in Japan last week and sold...38,828 copies.      Not surprised.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

So this'll be the third Fatal Frame game we haven't gotten, right?

yeah but the even less likely to come out here 3DS non-game (Spirit Camera) did, and the Wii U needs for every game possible to come out worldwide.  So I'm actually a bit optimistic about Fatal Frame coming out in America, eventually.

[Take My Breh Away]

Fatal Frame will also have Ayane as a playable character.

Can't wait till it doesn't sell in the US either.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Hey, question. If you play a Wii game on the Wii U can you just do tablet play? Or TV only?

[demi]

You can do tablet play, but it doesnt work with the gamepad. You have to use Wiimote, lol.

[cool breeze]

you can but none of the wii u controls work.  so you gotta use a wii remote.

[I'm a Puppy!]

 

[Joe Molotov]

Ya, it's dumb.

[nachobro]

Bayonetta

[a slime appears]

Picking up Hyrule Warriors today.

[Shaka Khan]

Let me know how it plays, especially if you're very familiar the Musou series. Last musou game I played was Samurai Warriors (first, I think) and loved it. Never felt like picking more, though.

[demi]

I'm gonna pick it up too. Have $30 on a Target card still. Been listening to some of the tunes here.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I'd be more interested in Hyrule Warriors if I hadn't just played the hell out of that One Piece game like 2 months ago. Not quite in the mood to do it again.

[Tasty]

Oh my god, Kamiya.

Got the demo downloaded and will be checking it out tomorrow. Should be good stuff. Dunno if I can buy the game this month, but November definitely.

[a slime appears]

Hyrule is the best Musou game I've played. It's a ton of fun and the Zelda window dressing really does add to the Musou gameplay.

This is a better game than Skyward Sword.

[bork]

Agreed on that last part, but I like Samurai Warriors 4 more than this.

This is a better game than Skyward Sword.

I can believe it!

[a slime appears]

My experience with Musou is like 2 games and a handful of demos, lol.

This game is super good though!

[demi]

Slime and I have played enough Musou games to know Hyrule Warriors is the best. We're veterans of the genre.

[Beezy]

If any of you in the US are thinking about selling your Wii U anytime soon, let me know.

[Cheddahz]

Bayonetta 2 is scoring quite well, can't wait to finally play it soon!

[demi]

Is there any photos of how the US packaging is? How did they handle Bayo 1?

[Cheddahz]

The United Kingdom gets this pretty cool first print edition:



I think all we're getting is a standard case with two discs in it

[Trent Dole]

Bayo 1 is just a download code in NA.

[demi]

This is on the Bayo 2 site. What is your source, Trent?
