What's going on here? I got into more matches in the Global Test Fire than I did at all tonight. Really turned off by this, also you can't leave while you're waiting 10 years for a match, WTF?!?

Has Nintendo said anything about why it's been so shitty today?

Perfect for me so far

I've been playing all day and I haven't had any problems, so it must be on your end.
 
The friend lobbies in this game are weird. I kept seeing this guy named "Smith" in all these lobbies whenever I would join RedFyn, and now just got a friend invite. It's hard to tell who all the GAFfers are.
 
So I know the game is like 1.8 gb, but how much do I need to install it? I'm cleaning the FriendFeed and can get like 2 gb free. Probably not enough right?

I got a Western Digital HDD that I can't get to work on the console, doesn't find it to reformat

Can you join multiple friends?

Yeah
 
Whenever I face a Roller head on and kill them when they are inches away, I die, is that due to lag or do they kind of explode? I find that they hardly touch you and you die T_T

I've played online for hours today with only seconds or a minute between matches

what's your favorite minigame, btw? Of the two I played so far, Squidball >>>> jumping minigame
 
Speaking of which, I had this one game where I was basically at the enemies spawn point/base and I was just killing them one by one and they just dropped like flies. Was pretty fun and hectic, no idea how I survived the fire.
 
I have gotten a lot better at the gyro controls and I'm splatting people left and right now, but I'd still like it to have a higher polling rate or higher resolution of possible angles, whatever it is that it needs for extra refinement and smoothness. It feels clunky when it updates significantly less often than the framerate.

And while there isn't much to do about it, I am still adjusting to the activation of your special. I'll either throw a bomb instead of activating it, or I'll activate it then throw a bomb. Something about clicking the stick then using R just doesn't feel right. It'll take a while to develop the muscle memory.

That's me. It's impossible to tell because it uses mii names.
 
I thought that I was pretty good yesterday, but damn playing with gaffers today had me getting wrecked. Kind of made me sad at the harsh realities :/
 
The game is a lot of fun, but limiting the game to 2 maps out of 5 is ridiculous. The game also having only 5 maps is quite incredible for a multiplayer shooter. The so-called 'free dlc' is literally just the rest of the game that should have been there from day one. Yet the game gets 9/10 reviews for it... If this was a non-Nintendo game it would get blasted in reviews for that practice. Other games that ship without half the game get regularly derided on Neogaf.

That said, the core gameplay, weapons, customisation are great.

No such games have ever released like this before, especially not in perfect working order.

well more 8/10's and your last sentence is why

every review I read took into account the complaints you have. the game is just really damn good despite its shortcomings so it still scored well.

So I guess me and everyone else who have been idling in the lobby must have issues on our end. Great :|

Happened once to me so far. We were a full lobby waiting for two minutes before it said it couldn't find a full lobby (which we were). Then I got an error message so started a new search and it was fine.

This has happened once to us in about 4h of play today. It kind of reminds me of the Mario Kart thing where it would keep waiting for a bit and give an error message if someone disconnected during lobby matchmaking. In fact it might be the very same thing.
 
I had to turn off my Wii u and turn it back on because it had a 3 minute counter before connecting to a match that I couldn't opt out of. Maybe they should tell us there's gonna be a long timer before forcing us to sit through it
 
Played my first online match as soon as I booted it for the first time. Pretty damn fun and we won too. Very smooth no lag either, still getting used to the gyro aiming.

Very glad I bought a bigger battery for my game pad.

Add me NNID - Donker

Talk to the cat when you're on a win streak and he gives you money. You get more money depending how good your streak is.

From my experience, I talked to him when I was at +8, got some coins, and he mentioned he might give me a rare gear. But then I talked to him when I was +21 and I got nothing. Do you only get one reward per 4 hour period?
