Nintendo Wii U

[Garwoofoo]

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.

I think that's what does it for me. The moment-to-moment gameplay of Hyrule Warriors is nothing special (it's satisfying as far as it goes but not particularly deep or complex) but the meta-game involving levelling up, unlocking weapons, using those weapons to unlock more weapons, opening up squares in Adventure mode, collecting skulltulas in Legend mode and so on is absolutely compulsive. Even if your aim is only to unlock all the characters and movesets you've got dozens of hours of play in there. It's genius game design.

I really, really want the Shulk Amiibo. But only to put it on my geek shelf, not to use it with my WiiU.

Fuck, so it's about 3/4 of a Monster Hunter? Must. Get.

[scottcr]

I must have the Link, Samus and Captain Falcon Amiibo's at the very least. I must.

BTW - this Mute City track in MK8 has me pining for some hot F-Zero action. You'd think we'd at least have the N64 version on the eshop by now.

[jcafarley]

You'd think we'd have ANY n64 games on the WiiU

[Bacon Horsemeat]

I just bought a Wii with SMB, Skyward Sword and Mario Kart, plus 2 wiimote pluses and the wheel, all for £60. That's a good deal right?

[joffocakes]

I like to hope they're holding back N64 in order to rework them. The era didn't age well.

[Thwomp]

The Wii U eshop is hard work to navigate. I've no idea how to find games like Ittle Dew and Unepic without actually typing their names into search. Seems like they only have the single indie game category, everything else is just lost somewhere. You can't even just show all games to browse through them as far as I can tell.

[Dig Dug]

Yeah the e-shop is terrible for searching anything that isn't virtual console.

[neoELITE]

What's the best unofficial Wii U pro controller?

[Darren]

My boys have a pair of £15 Game ones. The only catch is that they light up all over like something off Tron but if you can live with that they're fine. (They love it of course.)

The n64 Zelda games seem to have disappeared from the wii shop too. I was going to buy ocarina of time (and not sure what happens if I need to redownload majora's mask).

[SMD]

Make sure you haven't got parental controls on.

[Not Thread Owner]

Make sure you haven't got parental controls on.

Yes, this - and it's any parental controls for any Wii U user account.

I went into the Wii shop awhile back and about 70% of it had vanished. Turns out it was because my daughter's account on the Wii U has parental controls on!

[partious]

Captain Toad is great

Don't want to go on about it too much since it's not out over there and I don't want to be that guy, but I just want to say that I didn't think too much of the Captain Toad stages in 3D world(my favourite game of last year), they were a bit bland.

The new game is on a different level from the 3D world stages though, it's brimming with charm and that good old Nintendo magic.

I will say the stages have been pretty easy so far (I've done about 20-something so far) I expect that to change as I get further in though. Also I haven't done the extra challenge for a lot of the levels, so I can tell there will be good replayability.

Thanks, that explains a lot. I (temporarily) turned off the kids' parental controls and the Zelda games are back

[boxoctosis]

Yeah so I bought Hyrule Warriors on a whim and it is indeed all kinds of awesome so far. I'm having humble pie for tea tomorrow.

I got your network Link last night

[boxoctosis]

I got your network Link last night

I've yet to work out what that means.

(What does it mean?)

[SMD]

He touches your games while you sleep.

You appear on my map, and when I do the level you're on, I get a "special reward" from you.

I got a Gold bag of material. Thanks!

Just had this in my GAME online basket but backed out. Just can't bring myself to make the purchase.

[sandman]

No way am I buying any of those amibo things. Except Link of course. The dont do Yoshi or Samus ones do they? If they did I might get those. And Zelda. I don't think there are any plans to being out a diddy Kong one. Thank goodness for that. Just the 4 for me then!

[jonnyalpha]

They do a Yoshi! That's the only one I've ordered.

[rgraves]

Too right. Buy it from somewhere else instead.

[Dig Dug]

Zelda looks like she has a big purple dildo going up her dress.

[stefcha]

It's her club foot, you don't generally get to see it in the games because of the camera angles.

[marillion Col]

To be fair to them, they did give me some virtual shares which resulted in £153 of credit.
