Guys, honestly. I loved, LOVVVVVED VJ. Bayonetta is probably my favorite beat 'em up. Wonderful 101 demo turned me off hardcore and I don't know why :(

I'd seriously recommend borrowing or getting it cheap if possible. It takes a little while for the gameplay to click, like I found certain actions were better when done with the sticks over the touchpad. But damn did I love this game in the end.
 
You'll get that with X since it's made by the same company.

Everything fits together perfectly you see...
As much as I loved BKO, X excites every single fiber of my being.
I beat Xenoblade twice, and all we've seen of X makes it seem like Xenoblade on steroids plus a whole heaping of more awesome.

I'm still waiting for Xenosaga IV. :-(

If they time that release date right things could go okay. As long as the advertising is there. If Nintendo plays it like Skyrim or something (I know it isnt) mixed with Transformers and post-apocalyptica goldmine eden, a bunch will bite for certain.

Or just use this for the commercial, seriously.

I feel like an unhelpful pessimist, but I have to say I have a really hard time believing X will ever be a big seller for Nintendo. What was the last "mature" big seller for Nintendo? Perfect Dark, maybe Goldeneye? Did Eternal Darkness sell well?
 
Pikmin showed up before Mario. I was bummed cause I wanted to play Mario first but now I think I'm gonna have to finish Pikmin first. Loving what I played of it so far.

I dont think it will sell well at all, but if the marketing is done right (which we all know it probably wont be) then I dont see why it wouldnt sell completely horribly.

It's all in advertising and how hard they're willing to pimp it to media outlets.

I expect X to be a great game. I hope Monolith Soft cuts the excess fat; Xenoblade had a severe problem with that. My gut is telling me that X won't be a big seller. I *want* it to do extremely well for Nintendo, but I am quite pessimistic about it.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I could see that. I hope so, at least. I'd like to think it could at least sell better than W101, it seems like it would have a bit more mainstream appeal for one.
 
I picked up a Wii U yesterday. I picked it up at Shopko because they had the Nintendoland Deluxe bundle on sale for $250, and I used a coupon to knock $12 more off the price. Personally, I didn't really care which bundle was on sale because the game I got the system for was The Wonderful 101. I had Target price match their website so I could get it for $50.

After messing around with the system for a few hours, both the games I have seem interesting so far even though I've played them for a short amount of time. I can't wait to play the other games on the system like ZombiU and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and others coming in the future.
 
So just in case people aren't aware, Nintendo is selling a refurbished wiimote+ and nunchuck bundle for $20 on the Nintendo website. I will be getting on that asap.

You did good Strike. You did good.

Apologize for early post I made saying Mario Kart and Smash were coming out in the fall of 2014, when apparently I'm told is this coming spring


Anyway, extremely excited to start my most anticipated game of this year, 3D World, on Thursday when I finally have time to sit down and play the thing. Really loved 3D land, was easy but just a joyful game that seemed like the devs had a blast making
 
This is odd Best Buy snail mailed my Mario purchase (UPS Mail Innovations) but sent Pikmin on the UPS truck. Anyone else get this from the B1G1 %50 deal. Both were listed as in stock but Pikmin shipped first. Strange they would do this.
 
To buy... or not to buy....

....That is the question.

Uuuurgggggggh. Super Mario 3D World tempt me real bad but I don't game with other people in my house (I am practically the only gamer where I live) so hmmmmmm.

X....! X looks fantastic.... Do you folks think a proper Fire Emblem game is a given for WiiU (no, not that FE X SMT thing, but a real proper console Fire Emblem)... that would most definitely obliterate all of my resistances in buying WiiU...

HHHHhhhhh decisions decisions decisions.

I'm having more fun playing Super Mario 3D World alone than with others(I played some worlds with some friends, fucking chaos). Are you not interested in Pikmin 3, W101, Bayo2, Smash, Mario Kart and the other games that will come out next year? I don't know about FExSMT but if I had to guess I'd say the next proper FE will be again on handhelds.

If the bold is a major reason you're on the fence, don't fret it; 3D world makes for one very solid single-player experience, especially if you aim for 100 percenting it.
 
Yeah, Mario is always straight forward in single player and fun-chaos in multiplayer. You will be satisfied either way but would be even better to try both.
Just go for it damnit, this thread ain't filled with joy for nothing

Just buy Pikmin 3
Trust me LB, you won't regret my advice.
 
Yeah the New Super Mario Bro U/Luigi U Premium Bundle.

Once I have enough of my games Pikmin 3 will be the next one on the list to get :)

and you will get some time from them, I've played more than 20 hours of W101 and 100 of MH3U.... I haven't even played past world 4 of Mario because of how much I'm playing the other games!
 
Mind taking a shot at the packaging/controllers? Curious to see if they have the old or the new battery covers/jackets/straps.
I think it varies. As you can see, the blue one has a clear standard jacket and battery cover with the new (White) strap. The black remote has a new black jacket with the Sync hole, but the battery cover is the older one without the Sync button on the outside.

So everything's jumbled up? That's honestly not what I expected. Both straps seem to be the old style as well (new ones have a syncing pin). Thanks for sharing. Been considering ordering the new battery covers, straps, and jackets to "upgrade" 2 of my older Remote Pluses.

Oh really? I wasn't aware of the newer Wii Remote straps. (I hadn't played my Wii much until recently)

Glad I could help.

Hmmmm. Wii Motion+ works for WiiU right? I have a Wii so I guess if I buy a Wii U I am already set for at least two people play right?

I am seriously eyeing ZombieU--the game seems absolutely dreadful in all the right ways, hahaha (I love scary games), and SM3DW...

Pikmin 3? Hmm, haven't played any of the Pikmin games so I am not sure. Wonderful 101 looks great though, and it seems everyone and their grandma loves it to bits here in GAF.

................ hmmmmmmmmm.

....most probably at the end of this month, or next month at the latest... I guess I will be joining you guys.

You don't need to play any other Pikmin game to play Pikmin 3. Also yeah you're set for 2 players for 3D World with Gamepad + a Wii Mote.

Best decision ever ;)
 
I wasn't really interested in the console. It's been a long long time away from Nintendo. But im starting to feel like I want to try it. I was at Nintendo World and I played Scribblenaut Unmasked and was left with awe!.
In Argentina, game consoles are really expensive and forget about importing(yeah should have got one in the states.. But I brought too many things already!) make a case for why should I do this, I mean to get really convinced, I loved Mario etc but I dunno if I still feel that need of playing those games, maybe I will?
They are selling the Mario U and Luigi U bundle and I think it has Nintendo land? Dunno.. Should I still get 3d world asap? Or what else, I will not be able to get a ton of things because as I said it's expensive!
 
Is the Wii U game pad the best (and only?) way to play pikmin 3?

The best way to play Pikmin3 is with the Wiimote+nunchuck, AND the gamepad (on your lap or in the stand). You can still use the gamepad as a map that way, and use it to navigate other groups around the map, while you're focussing on another group.

If money is a concern, get zombi U because it's A/ great and B/ cheap. I would also suggest Pikmin 3, because it's an adventurous RTS game, lighthearted, but rather competitive in the mission modes.
 
I really need an Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion of F-Zero for this consoles to be complete.

Thinking of getting Pikmin 3. Haven't played a Pikmin game before though.

Well, i always liked Pikmin (since the GCN), and Pikmin 3 is easily the best one, with superior Wiimote controls to boot. It's a joy to play, a lot of fun and just like the other games, has a fine sense of humor, there isn't anything quite like it.
