Nintendo Wii U

[Davros sock drawer]

Yes, and I was gutted as I was looking forward to playing stuff like F Zero X using the WiiU controller.

[Super Craig]

Can you play N64 games (e.g. majora's mask) on the Wii U? If so, do you need a classic controller?

You can buy them on the Wii Shop Channel in the Wii Mode. And you'll need a Classic Controller. It's been announced for the Wii U eShop, but there are no details yet.

I'd much rather play scores of iOS games than 3D World.

Awow

[Mars]

Cool, thanks

Dead inside.

Just got SSMB. Gonna give it a go. Should keep me going until Amazon get their finger out and send me Capitano Toad De Mushrooma

iOS gaming is great you ignoramuses.

[HarryBizzle]

3D World is the best 3D Mario game.

[Davros sock drawer]

And I'm sure nothing I say will shake you from that belief, and nor would I want to.

3D World is the best 3D Mario game.

Nah, it's 3d land for me

[Graham S]

3D World is strongest for me in multiplayer with the kids. Then it's excellent, a dream come true even. If slightly aggravating when you're trying to collect stuff and a kid wrestles camera control away from you. I don't think I'd be terribly interested in single player, even though SM64 and Galaxy are my favourite games. Maybe it picks up later on, but I don't want to go on without the kids to find out. (We're on World 6)

[NEG]

When it comes to level design and wtf-factor, Galaxy wins but I still think I prefer 3D World because it dropped the waggle and is much better to play because of it.

It dropped the waggle but it also dropped the 3D, atmospheric landscapes and new settings. It took too much influence from New Mario, with only the most minor of 3D Mario elements left.

It's mostly rubbish

[Not Thread Owner]

So we put Smash Bros on for ten minutes, then played HYRULE WARRIORS for an hour and a half.

It's mostly rubbish

So is the bit of the iceberg under the surface for anything which has such a vast library. But the bit above the water has given me as much gaming pleasure in the last few years as anything else.

[DC Lemon]

I tried my hand at Smash Bros. As expected, not my cup of tea at all. Its popularity has to mean it can't be a bad game, but I still haven't figured out how or why.

[scottcr]

I've played some good ios games, but, largely, they're pretty poor

[Barnard]

Eastenders comes on and the eShop goes down. Merry Christmas everyone! ;-)

I'd much rather play scores of iOS games than 3D World.

What?

[Davros sock drawer]

It's very simple. There are scores of iOS games that I have enjoyed more than I enjoyed Mario 3D World.

[sandman]

I can't think of one that's even a 10th as good as 3d world or land.

[Davros sock drawer]

Well, er...I'm pleased for you!

not as good as the one in my cracker

[Danster]

I got one, which is nice. First impressions of the pad is very positive, really good solid build to it.

Not played too much due to the sheer number of updates coupled with Christmas slowness.

But Smash Bros was a good laugh with the kids.

I always wondered what some of you lot were whinging about when you complained about the poor Gamepad battery life. I've never had it run out, until tonight and it appears to be the fault of Hyrule Warriors so thanks for all the recommendations, I can see this being quite an addictive game with all the power ups and unlockables.

[Uzi]

Captain Toad is 26 quid delivered right now at the game collection if you don't mind waiting until next week.

I've only had one a month but we managed to all but run it down with me playing 3 Mario Kart GP and then 4 hours of Wii Sports Club Golf.

Which isn't too bad really.

[chris on the moon]

got a pro controller for xmas. hooray!

[Danster]

Man, Mario Kart is fucking ace!

Going to bed now though...
