I like that policy. :p

I was considering NFS:MW as an alternative to MK8 (when I'm feeling like more of an open world cruise vs a fun and colorful racer). Is it any good on the Wii U?

Also looking at LEGO City Undercover, but I heard that the load times are miserable. Did they ever fix that?

Sadly, no. I don't think they will fix that. But it deserves to take it a look, its script is very funny.

I can't help you about NFS.

NFS:MW is excellent and so damn fun! I really recommend it. I got it at launch ($30 EA sale FTW). It's not only a good port, but the best version.

It does end on sort of a cliffhanger, but the ending ties everything together--it's not really abrupt, so it feels complete as-is. The Fall is a little on the short side, it took me ~4.5 hours to complete. I found it to be enjoyable though.

As for the next episodes, the dev (on Miiverse) said that the Wii version had done well enough to fund the next two episodes and that episode 2 will drop sometime next fall.

Next Fall for...the next The Fall seems so far off but if they are still making it, I'm not opposed to it. I'd just hate to get it and have nothing come like Psi-Ops. I'm still crossing my fingers that WB/TellTale Fusion doesn't screw us and NOT release LEGO Hobbit 5 Armies DLC levels. I don't care about the costumes junk, there is more than enough characters in it already.

It's a decent end to the arc but also certainly a cliffhanger. But honestly some games would have ended on the note it ends on without actually making a second game. I am quite annoyed there's no second episode with a release date yet though. It's a very good game and I want to continue the gameplay/story.

So...yes and no. I'm glad I played, but I can certainly see the ending being frustrating. It's not really a sudden end either though. It's definitely a conclusion but also the start of something new. Hard to express without spoilers.


Is there a name for this yet? I couldn't find jack searching for "the fall 2" after I beat it on PC.

Hmmm...is the ending a bit like how Prometheus ended but it continues on like, "oh shoot, what happens next?" So it ends but it leaves it open for another?

I haven't seen Prometheus, but it's certainly not a 100% wrap up then a "but wait, there's more". The way things conclude immediately leave some questions.

I got LEGO City Undercover this year and I'm loving it. It really could be the best LEGO game. Lots of jokes, silly stuff, WAY WAY TOO much to do, and just fun. The load times are bad but VERY minimal. They only pop-up when transitioning between mission and city or city and inside (mission?).

But once you get the big load of the city done...NO LOAD TIMES. Explore the city with no worries of loads and I think no pop-in. So if you are afraid of the load time (which is bad but isn't game ruining), just maximize your time in the city and only replay levels when you have all abilities unlocked.

We did used to have separate threads for separate things (eShop, VC, etc.)

But, apparently "they" decided that a mega-thread was the way to go...
Then also decided that "mega-threads" belong in the Community section...

So, here we are.

There's certainly a new story to be told, and the end of the first. I strongly recommend not finding spoilers of the ending, whether you decide to play it now or later. I'd be a bit worried that pre-release info of 2 will ruin the ending of 1 actually. It would be hard to describe the game without spoiling it.

I'll be hunting down NFS:MW over the next few days. I also will look into LCU...I wanted it back when it came out, but I heard the loading times were terrible.

Also, Angry Birds for $50 a pop? There's no way they sell those.

How is the Steel Empire remake for 3DS? Worth $15 on sale? That still feels like a hefty price for a essentially game I played 20+ years ago.

Looking forward to reading impressions on Xeodrifter.

In multiple ways.
Until they say that they're bringing the ones they have control over to the US VC - as soon as possible.

NFS is brilliant on the Wii U and crazy cheap. Uses the hardware and Miiverse well. Highly, highly recommended.

Lego City Undercover is excellent but the load times are bad and the last time I played it didn't get any better. That said they only come up when you enter a building, which can be pretty infrequent so long as you're not darting in and out of them. They really only come up when starting the game, entering the Police HQ, entering a stage or exiting the police HQ or a stage. Unless you're buying things at the HQ, you could goof around in the game for hours and only have it load the one time.

So GAF, in preparation for Tetris Axis' removal from the eShop, I'm HIGHLY considering purchasing it.

How is it? It's by Hudson and I think was their not only last game ever, but also they ended it with the best company to do so; Nintendo, as Nintendo published it in NA.

Oh and Bomberman cameos in it! :D

But anyway, this sort of game basically demands being digital if possible, and it's $10 says Nintendo.com.

Anyone able to compare it to Tetris Party which I heard was really well liked? Apparently Tetris Party Deluxe wasn't just a retail conversion but had a different composer (who did Axis as well) a different designer (again also worked on Axis).

I only ever played the GB original on my 3DS. But I'm in the mood to go for it, especially as it's Hudson's swan song and Nintendo is really the definitive Tetris company (hey the ex-President of NOA and Yamauchi's son-in-law is/was at Tetris Online after all!)

NFSMWU is the best version in terms of features. The co-driver mode is genuinely cool and it has upgraded textures from the PC version.

In general for these things we have the Wii U Games [insert year] thread, though: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=743320 (2014) and the freshly created http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=949567 (2015)

Yes, Lufia has been the most popular of questions thus far.
Click to expand...
Natsume only published a couple of the Lufia games, I'm not sure what people will be expecting from them beyond what they've already said on Twitter.

(much later edit):

Actually, I am a little curious about that. Typically when companies publish other company's games elsewhere, it falls back to the original IP holder for future releases (ex: Nintendo published Mega Man 6 in the US originally, but it was back to Capcom for Virtual Console). So why is Natsume still able to publish Lufia II and Lufia: The Legend Returns, and by their words, only those two? In any possible scenario (ex: they kept ownership of the localization work, like how Working Designs does with their releases), they would still need to work with Square-Enix for a Virtual Console release. And if Square-Enix is okay with them releasing these two, why not the other two at that point?

I'd imagine Natsume tried to get the IP owners to hand over the game's release rights for America/ Europe. Like how Marvelous couldn't get back the Harvest Moon name and Natsume published Harvest Moon on VC. I presume back then, since Natsume didn't have much in terms of IP while the IP holders didn't have a lot of resources, they made this decision presumely because they didn't foresee digital distribution becoming big in the next couple decades.

In the download news, it seems 6 eShop games will see Wii U release next week. I so far see
Toss n' Go
Blok Drop X Twisted Fusion
Meme Run
Plenty of Fishes
99Moves

Also, on the 25th
Spy Chameleon
Shantae and Pirate's Curse


Also on 3DS
Asterix is coming on 18th for 34.99
