Good. The power of Nintendo resale

Just sold my Zelda: Spirit Tracks for 45 dollars

[demi]

Where did you pull that off? Quick look on ebay shows it for $20

Ebay. I'd post proof, but I don't want crazy people stalking me.

[demi]

PM it then, pussy

[ToxicAdam]

PM sent. I'm guessing the time of year helped (week before christmas), as people are scrambling to get gifts.

I do think the controller situation is shitty on the WiiU. I bought two pro controllers to have some for my nieces, of course we can't use them on Just Dance(duh really) or Nintendo Land(which is stupid, they have dpads). So to have 4 players on Nintendoland stuff I need to buy 3 wii motes which of course may also neeed the nunchunks. That's what 40 x 3=120 plus 3 times what $20 for the nunchunk? @60? So 180 to play 4 player Nintendoland even though I already spent $100 on other controllers that I can't be used only because Nintendo didn't feel like adding that ability.

That kind of sucks

[Human Snorenado]

Please Understand.

[ToxicAdam]

Sucks for new adopters. But I was fortunate to have a shitload of those controllers/nunchucks still from the Wii. So, in a sense, I saved a lot of money that way (versus a typical generation transition).

The other kick in the dick you may not realize about Nintendoland is you will ALSO need the Wii Motion+ to play some of the mini-games fully.

Selling $20 GCN adapters for $80+ markup

GCN component cables that go for $200+

It kind of reminds me of Wii Sports. Really fun the first time you play it with 3 other people ... then .. not so much.

then it's fun again when you look on ebay and holy shit, it's selling for $100.  then you call up nintendo and ask how you can get a replacement disc because yours got scratched and they sell it to your for $10.  Then you flip that one on ebay for another $100.  Then you buy them used at gamestop for $10.  and so on until you can afford a gaming PC.

[ZephyrFate]

who tf would buy wii sports for $100

[Mr. Nobody]

Seeing Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 in action



DKC: TF looks pretty great too despite some resolution thing I heard pre-release

Slowly relearning Smash since I havent played since 64

Just put in Bayonetta to see if the gamepad was at all needed...wont get into that until I'm good and ready


Speaking of, the gamepad is kinda useless. Out of everything I've played, the only game that actually took advantage of the touch screen was the Pikmin 3 demo. I can work with the size of it but even so, it still feels bulky and I have big enough hands for it. Battery life is  but who didn't see that coming. Thank goodness I bought the pro controller.

[demi]

Battery life can be fixed with this little guy:

[demi]

Ok Ijust came back and I bought NES Remix 2

Any other WiiU games I should look into for an 8 and 6 year old kid? Co op preferred. We have Mario Kart, Just Dance, and Lego Marvel.

NSMB U and 3D World have co-op play for up to four players.

[ToxicAdam]

3D World is a very good co-op experience, NSMB is too frustrating for younger kids.


Smash is a great choice also.


There's always Skylanders too. If you want to go down that rabbit hole.

I guess unsurprisingly the Wii U had the best system exclusives this year. Wish Nintendo could work with more third parties to broaden their franchises to make up for a lack of third party support though.

I feel like this is more because of how shitty the line-ups were on the Xbone and PS4 for this year, more than anything.  So few actual exclusive games.

Yeah, that's still crazy to me. Microsoft has a huge stable of great IP and Sony was drumming the indie-dev drum back in 2013 before the launch of their new consoles. You'd think they would have something to show for it this year.

Still, Nintendo is in full-on desperation mode so they've been scrambling to fill in the gaps. Hopefully more of that stuff starts to show this year.

Honestly speaking; I can't think of many PS3 games I bought this year aside from the Black Friday dumpbin, let alone exclusives.


BUT DAT BAYO THO

Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f 2 and Tears to Tiara II, hard to argue with that.

I was shocked to see that Pikmin 3 went for almost $100 on Amazon.  So I wound up getting Bayonetta 2, NES Remix, and Captain Toad on the premise that it might be out of print later.  Seems crazy that it would be out of print.

Not surprised to see Wonderful 101 down at half price, it's been a while since I felt burned on buying a video game.

The initial system boot wasn't that bad. I expected something horrible. It took an hour, my god...

I also expected the system to be super slow after that one GAF thread. Maybe I'm crazy but it seems pretty quick, if not just a bit messy for an os. I don't know where a lot of things are and what not. Either way apps and everything loaded pretty quick. Netflix was pretty good. Bayonetta 2 is awesome and Mario Kart is going over well with the kids.

For the 2012 holiday, it was pretty brutal.

[AdmiralViscen]

And they only released a demo for it a few months ago. I guess they want to drive digital downloads. Which is great since their consoles have no memory and there is no account ownership.

Also they fixed the early slowness of the OS too with the later updates

niccas be MAAAAAD, you snooze you lose. Pikmin

[Shaka Khan]

I got the digital verison of Pikmin 3 for free through some promotion. Can't remember which now. Deluxe Promotion, perhaps?

Yup! that's the one.

God, they had so many promotions recently that I lost track.

So did I. I'd rather have the disc though.

[Mr. Nobody]

I'm thinking about getting Captain Toad.

After playing some levels in 3D World, the game is harmless enough and its $40....can't hurt 

[archie4208]

I bought it yesterday because I don't want to pay $100 a year from now.

Fucking Nintendo.

As much as I can readily admit that they have poor groundwork to encourage people to adopt digital purchases, I'm personally glad that I just went ahead and bought an external hard drive for the Wii U so that I can avoid worrying about physical SKU availability.

its like a 4 hour game and its ez as hell

[TakingBackSunday]

That and Kid Icarus will both get you 20 bucks each at Gamestop just FYI

[AdmiralViscen]

It's going for $95 on Amazon

TRADING IN GAMES

Go donate plasma instead

[Mr. Nobody]

Well damn.

Definitely buying Xenoblade Chronicles X on release date though. Looks interesting and I just know it'll go out of print like the first game. I might even buy 2

[archie4208]

Holy shit I found a copy of Pikmin 3 at Walmart.

Killing mom and pop businesses for the sake of profit

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

my cat chewed through my tablet charge cable.  Wii U still usable with Pro controller, but my game selection just got halved.

which means she's used it more then I have for the last two weeks.

[Cheddahz]

Picked up a copy of ZombiU today (was pretty cheap at Best Buy). I can't wait to not buy a Wii U game for a while now

I just checked Amazon after reading this post and they're going for $100 there. I didn't realize Pikmin 3 was rare. I just saw like ten copies of it at Target the other night.

[Positive Touch]

.....which Target

[Steve Youngblood]

.....which Target

Remember that I'm on the Illinois side, so this was the Fairview Heights/Swansea one. They were just sitting off to the side over by the PC games.

[demi]

Amazon is for stupid people. Its not exactly high price or anything. Average $60 still.

Solution: never buy a cat and never buy a Wii U.

[MCD]

finally bought a wii u.

what I bought:

wii u with Mario 3d digital preinstalled

Mario kart

super smash bros

4x smash gamecube controllers with gamecube adapter

wii u gamepad extended battery

1x wii u pro controller. I will probably buy 2x more because I can't play with the family with the gamecube controllers. stupid Nintendo.

and i'm using this to charge the wii u gamepad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IE1U2YG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

so far so good. only need bayonetta now though I don't like platinum's games combo-fested gameplay but can't be picky with wii u library now.

[kick51]

also out of print and climbing in price: Tank Tank Tank


fuck the stock market and 401k, buy some wii u games and put them under your mattress

[archie4208]

Anyone getting Kirby and the Rainbow Curse?  Canvas Curse was one of my favorite DS games and the claymation style in this version is so cute. 

I hear it's only like 5 hours long, and a few more hours if you 100%, but it's a Kirby game so that's expected.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

At least it has more gameplay than The Order :^)

[demi]

FOR SURE

[AdmiralViscen]

Hell yea
