They're good, aiming at flying enemies can be a pain though. Just remember you can push the R button or something to aim without moving your captain.

Sweet I'm going to get this with my $30 credit from FE and smt. Hope the download doesn't take forever. So far I've only DL SNES games
It's kind of weird how the game sometimes switches you between IR and gyro controls. The IR is a bit annoying since it requires you to point at the screen, which I normally don't do with the gyro aim. Suddenly the control seems to break.
Also, it's just really awesome how large these areas are. Even if there's less "game" thanks to the omission of those monstrous caverns, the quality of what's here is so much higher. The game doesn't kid around when it advises you to plan your day using the map before you set out. There's always so much to do.

So, speaking of motion plus, is there a constant need for reconfiguring the controls like there was on Wii games?
I found them to be borderline unplayable

That's all I've used so far. It was kinda difficult until I learned I could lock on and hold R to move the cursor only. I'm sure with the Wii Remote it would be WAY easier but I still enjoy using the gamepad.
Nope. I don't even think it uses Motion+
yeah it does, if you have it
but it doesn't need to be manually configured or anything. i think it happens automatically with the sensor bar.

They're workable. It will have an impact on your ability to work as quickly though.
They don't. Certain games in nintendo land do (e.g. the zelda game, becaus eit uses the additional motion sensing in the sword positioning) but many things don't, like pikmin or the mario chase/luigi games in nintendo land.

It's not required but almost all use it since Nintendo is only selling M+ wii remotes now. It's assumed to be available.
I kind of guessed Pikmin 3 can default to an OG wii remote just to try and make sure absolutely everyone can play it with a wii remote, no matter what they've got.

It's always annoyed me that Nintendorefuse to use AILive's LiveMove 2 middleware. Not only does it basically write the code for you when using motion controls (you basically press a button to start, move the remote or nunchuck for the motion you want detected and recognised and it writes the code for it) but for MotionPlus (and not Move which really surprised me) it also recalibrates itself whenever the MotionPlus remote is held still.
That's why you very rarely need to manually recalibrate MotionPlus whilst playing Red Steel 2. Very annoying that Nintendo don't use it.

Thankfully its almost here.
After a horrible month of July, we are finally getting some decent releases.
Still pissed that the U.S. got this late.

Oh my dear American God. The wait for 11 AM tomorrow to get this is going to be to me like a Pikmin trying to survive through the night.

Still annoyed that our Canadian friends get such absurd pre-order deals. Bud of mine pre-ordered Pikmin 3 and a dozen or two 60 dollar games for $40 at the E3 sale.

Me too. Free poster and those patches they've been giving out.
Too bad I lost at Bingo Battle... (They were giving either a Pikmin plush or a copy of Pikmin 2 to the winner, for those who weren't there.)
Now to wait until I get back home later tonight.
I did get thirty street passes though, so that's great.
This game is obsessed with rubber ducks, and it makes me happy
Read rubber dicks.
Now I'm disappointed.
So I just tried Mission Mode co-op with my boyfriend (who has never touched a Pikmin game before) and we had a blast.
Just wow, after beating the story I thought this game was already one of this gen's finest, but after Mission Mode... I think it has become my favorite game this year. It was... FUN. The amount of cooperation needed to get a Platinum is absurd and makes it so enjoyable. We were constantly talking, discussing our next move. "Did you get that wall yet? Oh crap I need two more blue Pikmin for this strawberry!" "No worries, I'm on the bridge above you. I'll toss two Blues your way! Can you get those bridge pieces too?" "Yep, got them! Once I'm done here I'll throw my Pikmins over the ledge so you can use them for those fruits!" "Sweet, thanks!" Etc etc. And then getting a Platinum after all that teamwork.. So much feels.
This is why I love Nintendo games. Only Nintendo can do this stuff to me. Thank you Ninty for making Pikmin 3 <'3

Does the game go up on eshop at 12 am pst?
I will be picking up the game in Monday, but I have no idea of when I will actually be able to play it.
All Nintendo Published/First Party titles do.

I've just come home from 3 weeks of travelling in Spain.
The first thing I did was to turn on the WiiU. 26 minutes remaining for my download.
This is the biggest gaming moment for me in years.
All your Miiverse screenshots have gotten me even more hyped.
I can't wait to jump back in. Just had to share

I'm having a mindfuck right now. I'll be playing this game tomorrow after how many goddamn years of waiting, delays, Miyamoto teasing, and more damn delays.
3 years of Animal Crossing waiting ain't nothin' compared to this.

It better not suck.
Yeah, I play the mission mode together with my girlfriend and we are having a blast. We just got our first platinum medal and the game was crazy. And both players must be perfectly synchronized. And the feelings you have at the end of that platinum mission is unbelievable. Now we have to get all the platinum medals.
can someone help me?
how can I reach that star? is the last missing fruit...

This will be up at midnight correct?
I don't think it took more than an hour here, if that... But I don't know for sure. I clicked the download, had dinner, browsed GAF a little bit and when I went back to check it was already installing.
But all my downloads have always been fast on the Wii U, even when everyone is complaining they are slow. Maybe some folks might have experienced slower speeds...
Trust me. It's glorious.
Exactly! <3
And yeah after getting the first Platinum we just looked at each other and knew we both wanted to get all the Platinums
. It's so much fun!If I remembr correctly...
You should look for water nearby. There should be an underwater passage somewhere.

They're fine. I beat the whole game, and got Platinum medals on everything in Mission Mode, and I only ever played with the GamePad. It never even occured to me that the Wiimote might be an option until half way through the game, by which point I was just "Eh, fuck it."
It's honestly the best thing Nintendo have made in years. It's Super Mario Galaxy-tier.

So my Best Buy order shipping on Wednesday so I had a glimmering hope that it would arrive on Saturday. Whelp, that is not the case because it is not even scheduled to arrive on Monday. Make it Thursday the 8th. Release Date Delivery? No wonder I stick with Amazon 99% of the time.

That's high praise. Is this a common sentiment? SMG is one of my favorite games.
Apple and oranges but I think it has the same" feels so good" effect. Everything is just perfect.
On another topic, has any of the illegitimate EU pricks got their Premium Points yet? They said to wait for 3-6 days but it still hasn't showed up.

Yeah, I was near the end of the part of the line where there'd still be prizes to win and it took around two hours.I saw the line for it but decided to just go home to play
I just went back again and they still had the Pikmin 3 demo stations open though, and they weren't crowded now. And people cold try single player or multi player now it seemed.
