Anyone know why Pikmin 3 on my home screen has a pulsing blue border round it? None of my other games do.

[Super Craig]

I was wondering the same. I thought that it was because it was the newest icon, but it stayed like that after getting The Wonderful 101. :S

[Not Thread Owner]

Not just me then. It's not my most recent game downloaded, it's not an update, it's not my most recent game played, or my most played game, or my biggest game. Bizarre.

[Not Thread Owner]

But it's surrounded by 50 other icons! How can it be lonely?

[mr twig]

It's infected

[kwakpriest]

Spot pass lurghy

[Not Thread Owner]

And it's gone now. Haunted.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

Did you open it? It means it's updated leaderboards since you last played it.

[Not Thread Owner]

I didn't open it, no.

[b00dles]

Oh is that what the blue pulse means, spotpass data received?

Also, does anyone know if the missions have been hacked like MKWii was? Some of the co-op mission scores just seem totally unrealistic, I played level 3 (iirc) with a mate and we finished it with 51 seconds to spare (not loads, admittedly) and we were still only on 4500 or so, with the top score being something like 10500 - it just seems unrealistic.

Or are we just shit?

Is £30 a good price for the Lego Undercover game? I'd quite like it, but I'm in no hurry, but it doesn't seem to have dipped in price much since release that I can see.

[Yewone]

It was well worth £40 upon release so yeah £30 isn't bad.. Offers plenty of gaming for your money too

[Retroguy]

Sold! And by sold, I mean HOLY CRAP I need to stop buying games now.

[squirtle]

Lego City Undercover is brilliant. It's got my partner, my four year old and myself hooked. According to the Wii U log thing, we've sunk 35 hours into it now and we've done 33%. It's just so much fun and bursting with shit to do.

[Retroguy]

Now I feel slightly better about having to sell a kidney.

[Yewone]

If you haven't done so already, also make sure you pick up Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 & Rayman Legends as well. No self respecting WiiU collection is complete without them

I have a question on Lego Undercover. Myself and my son completed the game to the end of the story.

I think we are on something like 35%. We have note really thought to go back and do more.

From what I recall there are not a lot of side quests to complete so is that completion % for collecting everything and doing all the challenges etc? What does it cover and is it worth going back and upping the %? Is there enough fun stuff to do there?

[Yiggy]

Also.

Disney Infinity. Bought it over the weekend and the boy (and me a little bit) is quite obsessed with it.

If you like Lego City I would be surprised if you didn't like Infinity. The structure of the playsets is very similar with the roaming, the quest givers, the story line missions. The delivery of bits flown in my helicopter etc. Quality wise it's very good and runs fine on the Wii U as you would expect. You can do off screen play which I have been doing a lot when hoovering up the areas. Its a real shame you cant do co-op using the pad so its just split screen but never mind.

It's a really good package even if you just buy the starter pack and leave it at that.

The percentage is for the challenges. Probably red bricks as well.

You'll have the disguise challenges (rescuing cats, pigs etc.) as well as free runs and time trials. Some of the disguise challenges will be really tedious if you don't have the scanner upgrades.

Hahaha! Nice try, but I already bought Pikmin, W101 and Monster Hunter with the console. I've still got the previous Rayman game on my Vita, so that'll keep me going for now.

NO MORE SPENDING FOR ME!

It's bad enough that I'm not going to play Pikmin til I'm finished with W101, so god knows when I'll actually get round to the lego game. But £30 seemed like a good price- amazon has it at £32 used, so hopefully I'll get a good trade in price when I eventually get round to selling it sometime in 2018.

On Lego City... I came home from band practise last night and it was on. My wee boy had put it on and played it for a while before bed. He'd obviously found a new costume and knew he had to get back to the police station - but couldn't quite find his way back. Apparently he was quite upset at bed time - so mummy promised that daddy would unlock the costume when I got back.

So, that was job number one upon arriving home, make sure the costume was unlocked so Calum would be happy.

Love the game.

Already have NFSMW on the 360 and the Vita but could not resist it for the WiiU for £14.98 from Zavvi!

Hope its as good as everyone says.....

[shirubagan]

The wife and I have been watching Buffy on Netflix. Now, unless the episode is focussing on funny Spike or lesbians I'm not really fussed. However, what *is* good is that the Mrs can watch it on the big telly while I chip away at Super Mario Bros on the game pad.

I must complete that before I start Batman. I must complete that before I start Batman. I must complete that before I start Batman. Etc.

It really is bloody awesome.

You can complete Super Mario Bros in 20 minutes, especially if you use the warps! Get on it, man!

[shirubagan]

I meant NSMBU which in absolutely terrible at.

[Not Thread Owner]

Well this is odd.

Been playing NFSMWU for the last few days. Lovely. Silky smooth. All the time.

Tonight, framerate all over the shop. It even paused a couple of times.

Tried restarting the Wii U, but that didn't help.

Anyone else seen this?

[Yiggy]

That is weird. Almost as if it's overheating maybe. Was it particularly noisy at the time? Downloading anything in the background?

[bobin]

@deKay

I bought NFSMW based on your recommendation and have experienced a fair few temporary lock ups over the last couple of days. Apart from those, it's very silky and the coop driving feature is brilliant for keeping my three year old happy - he loves Outrun on 360 but has trouble accelerating and steering simultaneously, with this I can hold the trigger for him...and just take over entirely if I get bored!

[dataDave]

Any of the other Singapore forum ites, do you access the estore?

I don't, yet.
