Slightly off (the current) topic but has anyone on here played Rogue Legacy?

I'm dying to play Shovel Knight but I'm thinking more and more that some R.L action might see me on till it finally gets a UK (gawd knows when it's going to be) launch :).

I've played it a bit, it's fun but I haven't made a dent in it to really give a fleshed out opinion. I'm hopelessly addicted to Persona, y'see.

If the French person is right, the only games they'd consider worth their time are the ones which sold well in the first place, which limits the selection somewhat. The games they've chosen to remake in the past have all done at least reasonably well. If he literally means Remaster in the current sense, it'd be a Wii or GC game getting the tart-up treatment. The last few they've chosen to remake for portable all sold a fair whack originally on console.

I finally found the receipt out of the loft for my Wii U and decided to look into the repair facility for my Wii U using the Nintendo website.

They still list their warranty as only covering 1 year, which is really frustrating as my Wii U did genuinly have the fault within a few months, but I always assumed it was a software fault, not hardware fault. So they're basically saying I'd have to pay the repair bill, which seeing at that comes in at around £130 which a) I don't have at all and b) feels like a swizz when it's half the price of a new 32gb system so that doesn't look like an option.

I raised the issue of the EU law of 2 years warranty, and they said that would be with myself and the retailer I bought it from....which was HMV in December 2012.

I'm going to hopefully go in and have a word with them today to sound it out - I'm figuring they'll pass the buck, but the wider issue I have is the games that are currently locked to my Wii U - I've got several games downloaded to the harddrive and transferred over all of my Wii data, so I'm worried I'll be stuck between a rock and a hard place where to go with this. Even if HMV honoured the 2 year warranty and give me another Wii U, I'd no doubt understandably have to take my current console back in for the swap, so how the hell would I recover all my data with nothing to send to Nintendo?

Part of me is wondering whether I'd be better off flogging Sonic Racing and Super Mario 3D World and getting them digitally, but then I'm paying out again at a higher rate than the physical release...and I'd need to get an external drive, which is another outlay that I simply can't afford.

Anyone get any thoughts/ advice?

Over the past six months or so I've been ploughing through Twilight Princess on the WiiU, and finally completed it last night.

The issue I've been experiencing on and off over the past few weeks, and more often over the past couple of days is that the Wiimote will remain connected but will stop responding at all. If I take the batteries out the WiiU tells me that connections have been interrupted. I can then put the batteries back in and the Wiimote will then work again.

I've tried replacing the batteries, re-syncing the Wiimote, and even removing the power lead from the console, but the problem continues.

As I've now finished Twilight Princess, I'll probably move on to another Wii title, but just wondered if anyone else had encountered this issue either with Twilight Princess or the Wiimote and WiiU generally.

Many thanks.

Is this a joke?

Yes, I was just being glib. I do think that Nintendo should be pumping out remasters and virtual console titles more readily though. They have so many N64, GC & Will titles that would be a joy to replay in HD with a few Gamepad features thrown in. In fairly sure everybody thinks this way except Nintendo unfortunately.

I've experienced the Wii Nunchuk not responding when playing Smash Bros Melee on the Wii U. Unplugging the Nunchuk and reconnecting sorts it out. I've not experienced the Nunchuk not responding when using it on Nintendo Land.

Look forward to next weeks 1 NES title re-release!

Super NES titles too if it's a blue moon!

Is it a Wiimote plus Robert? I haven't experienced this problem while playing a game in Wii mode on my Wii U. I would try a different Wiimote first.

It's a Wiimote Plus. I'll give it a go on Mario Galaxy this evening, as I need to knock that on the head before I start anything else. It's only Twilight Princess I've encountered the problem on, but it's one of the games I've been playing the most on the WiiU over the past few months (catching up on some of the Wii classics I've missed).

Interesting that Onze's encountered the same issue, but on a different game. Like him, I've not had any problems with Nintendoland.

Will get my brother to drop a Motion Plus over and see if that has any issues.

Thanks for your help.

I have to sincerely apologise about my previous rant at how crap Deus Ex was.

Seeing as so many people have said how great it was, I thought I'd restart the game ( I had only got to mission 3).

And I'm glad I did. This time it just clicked (maybe because I decided to play it on the easiest level).

Wow.

Once you get past the opening missions it really opens up into what I'd hoped it would be:

A modern day version of Liberation ( an old Amiga/CD32 first person rpg set I'm a dystopian future.)

Really good, well worth the ten quid I paid for it!

The new wired pads for SSB are available for preorder: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LSBNSAO/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00LSBNSAO&linkCode=as2&tag=economictruth-21

They're not quite the same as a GC pad; they've got four shoulder buttons instead of three, the right analogue stick has a proper top, and there's a new + and - button either side of the start.
