Feel like getting a new wii u game but I'm not sure what to go with. I'm in Japan so I have the following to choose from (if it's not listed and you think it should be, I probably already own it)

Captain Toad, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, Project Zero, Lego City, Rayman Legends.

Tough choice... Perhaps a bit odd but I am probably most interested in Lego City. I held off while waiting for the price to drop but it never went below 4000 yen and doesn't seem to be going to anytime soon.

Is Lego City actually good in terms of the gameplay? I know people praise the dialogue etc, but what about the actual game?

4,000 yen is a little over £20 in proper money, and LCU is easily worth that.

Captain Toad, however, looks pretty amazing. TIME FOR ADVENTURE!!!

Not that I've played it, but I wouldn't complain about more Streets of Rage with the same old punching and kicking no matter the amount of it we got.

Streets of Rage in a Metroid skin? That also gets more and more content after release? I'd be fapping furiously.

It should be the most repetitive boring shit in the world but for some reason it just seems to keep going. I can't really say it is just fan service because I've never been a big fan of Zelda or DW. Reading around the general opinion on the game in a lot of places is that it is arguably the best warriors game ever made (others would also argue that it is the worst zelda game ever made but they clearly never played phantom hourglass).

The reason I bought up content is because the game is in a lot of ways a skinner box and not jusr any skinner box. It's the best kind of skinnerbox because you never pay any microbollocks you just keep playing the game and unlocking content.

It's no devil may cry or bayonetta, I think the warriors games share a lot in common with old arcade games like Smash TV where you just charge through wave after wave of enemies.

Hyrule warriors is a marmite game, it clicked with me because I had been wanting to play a game like it for a while where I could just relax and endlessly feel empowered by killing thousands of monsters for the sake or getting new items and challenges. It doesn't feel like a massive grind-fest but I think that is because how fast flowing the game feels.

Yeah, it's still very much a Warriors game - a basic strategy game where you are the most powerful unit on the battlefield. Simple combat, ridiculous numbers of enemies, reliance on on-the-fly adjustments to control the flow of battle. Reviews from sites that are usually sympathetic to the Warriors games have generally marked it as a solid entry to the series, and a friendly one for newcomers (not least thanks to the theming; mechanically it's very similar to the DW's, but being in a comfortable environment with characters you likely recognise, rather than the relatively obscure to Western audiences world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, certainly helps settle you in). A lot of sites which are normally hostile to the series, however, seem to have suddenly found something to like in it.

Personally I can't see any reason for that beyond the traditional sympathy towards anything with Link in it (as I've brought up a few times already, I like the Warriors series, and I like Hyrule Warriors, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a particularly different or unusually good entry to the series), but maybe I'm being unfair to them.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it if you've had a reasonable amount of experience of the Warriors games before and haven't enjoyed them. If you've only had limited experience of them, however, it's a good place to start.

Could someone please explain just what exactly amiibos are and why I need one / them all? They look so pretty!

I'm not entirely sure myself. They act as like an AI 'buddy' in Smash Bros. that will level up to lvl50, whatever that means.

They can unlock things like Amiibo-specific costumes for your Mii in MK8 as well.

I'd expect more DRM features like that for other titles in future.

I, however, have had a reasonable amount of experience of the Warriors games before and haven't enjoyed them.

And Hyrule Warriors is possibly my GOTY.

And I will never understand what it is you see in Hyrule Warriors that you've not seen in previous DW games!

I don't know. I'm really interested in the historical stuff in SW/DW too. I just didn't "get" the gameplay. I do now, so no doubt I'll enjoy them more.

The adventure mode is completely new and completely wonderful for a start - it just keeps you playing and playing as you unlock more and more stuff. It's hypnotic.

Yes, there is this. I've spent about 45 hours on Adventure Mode.
