We'll see what they'll do with Zelda U (delay and polish it into 2015 or rush-release it in 2014).
The pop-in going on here really surprised me, surely the level cant be that taxing on the hardware?

X has some pop-ins too
Why is that relevant when it isnt even out yet?
Well had a little marathon session last night and I am this far away from
1 Green Star: that rolling level in
where
. I just haven't tried it much.
13 Golden Flagpoles
I've gotten all the stamps from all the levels so far (that's all you need right?)
I should wrap it up tonight and give it a go.
BTW, fuck Blast Block Skyway and its patience requiring skills. Also Rosalina became a bit OP for collecting stars and flagpoles so I switched back to Mario.

You could just use the cat suit instead of the double cherry if you are fine with using suits to get everything

I didn't notice any pop in-s during that level. The only one that froze some was the last level with the plants in
Mushroom World I believe where it was dark the entire level and you needed to light up the torches to see
Strange, here it was super noticable, and I am definitely not one to notice these kinds of things normally.
Edit: Did a quick google search, and seems I am not alone in this.
Tried to play this with my GF
Thought we were having fun then this morning she said she needed to play by herself because she was still having problems with the controls.
Ended up in a huge argument.
Man I can't win. She seemed to be playing fine to me. However, she gets very easily frustrated with things and is very competitive. I should have expected this.

I don't think their engine was really tuned for such an open stage/camera. Maybe they use the same parameters for popping-in models throughout the whole game and usually the models would be off-screen when they pop-in, but because of this level design it's really noticeable. Agreed that it is pretty blatant on this one mission.
yeah it seems like they just never bothered to optimize for this one level, not that that level is particulary hard on the hardware
Wasnt there some rumours of the title being rushed? Maybe this is some evidence to that. Doesnt look at all rushed in the rest of the game though.
?
I literally said wow when I got there.
HD Nintendo is best Nintendo.
Holy shit. That is awesome. I remember see the Wii and thinking how I wanted a nice hi res version of the graphics in Galaxy. I felt like that clean look would be really nice in HD. I'd love for an HD bundle of Galaxy 1 + 2.
Not so much rumors as it was people with no idea what they were talking about giving opinions.
After all the hype about how easy the game is before post game, I'm kinda surprised at how not easy the game can be. Lost a healthy chunk of lives on 5-2. Deaths aside, the combination of those see-saw platforms, rolling spike logs, and swinging trapeze provided a nice tricky platforming set up.
Great idea! Will have to bring it from another level, but I feel like that's what I'll do for most of the missing flagpoles I need anyway.
Best post of the entire thread, bravo sir!
Are you giving away free haikus?!
?

I have a miiverse post about this part. No yeahs though
But yeah, my jaw dropped to the floor. Amazing.
No, something cooler than that of course!

a free haiku to keep now
enjoy it mon frere
Oh. Hello! I didn't see you there...
Yawn. Okay, I'm taking over this post to let you know about my 3D World contest....
I went to Gamestop yesterday because they had some leftover 3D World stickers from some event they had for human kids over the weekend....
I picked up 10 of these sticker sheets. I need to keep one to decorate my litter box with. The Cat Goomba can go over the entrance!
Meow!
That means I have 9 sticker sheets to give away. I sit around all day and nap and snuggle mostly (except for when I play and get treats, and eat...and pee and poo...but mostly I nap), so I have plenty of time to ship these anywhere. I'm in this weird island called Vermont right now but I think I can get them anywhere in the world. I'll just have to delegate because I don't go outside usually.
The rules are pretty simple!
I've been playing Mario games for a while. Mario Galaxy 2 came out right after I was born so I'm pretty good at these games. I like 3D World a lot so far, especially since I served as the inspiration for the game. There are a lot of moments that are just like things I have done on my adventures. Anyway, to enter you just have to post a new screenshot of your favorite moment in the game. No duplicates, I get bored really easily with duplicates. (Double cherry puns about this are okay.)
One sticker per winner, and if I'm feeling generous I might throw in something else fun...good luck!

I'm about to purchase a Wii U and had a question I was hoping ya'll would be able to answer.
In terms of controllers, I want to get a pro controller because it's just personally the most attractive option to me. But, in terms of playing games and using the system, does everything pretty much need to be launched with the Wii U gamepad? Can I navigate the UI with just the pro controller or no? And if I want to play 3D World, does Player 1 need to be using the gamepad? Or can I play solo and just use the pro controller?
Thanks!

You can use the Pro Controller switch console on, sign in, launch games and to navigate the Main OS menus. Using the left thumbstick gives you control of a pointer, using the d-pad you can navigate between menu items on the Home Screen.
Some OS features require the GamePad to navigate - e.g. the eShop. And i think the web browser does too - but you wont mind that, it works great!,
You can solo with Pro Controller in 3D World but there are a few levels (average 1.5 - 2 per world maybe) that require the GamePad.
To switch controllers during game you just Pause > Select Switch Controller Icon > Confirm > Press A on desired controller > un-Pause
Keep in mind some games require GamePad - mostly the ones that have deeper integrated features - e.g. Zombi U Single Player, Deus Ex:HR.

Thanks for the response. So, in 3D World if I get to a part of the level that needs the gamepad I'll essentially just hang there until I fish one out?
It won't let you enter the level without the GamePad set as controller. These levels require the GamePad because they use the touchscreen to interact with key objects throughout them. (and for other things that I wont spoil)
I play 3DW with the pro controller and don't find myself switching to the gamepad that often, it's really only a handful of levels that require it, and most of those levels you can skip and come back to later if you want.
Don't be put off by the GamePad too much - it's actually fairly comfortable/light to hold - I find the pro controller only a little more comfortable, i could happily use the GamePad all the time for 3DW and other games tbh.

Honestly the only thing I don't like about the gamepad is that always on screen. It's distracting/annoying
Or use Retro Studios as development slaves.
I fucking despise level 1-flower. Fucking. Despise.
That goddamn second star. I wanted to punch my fist through the controller. Not only I failed so many times on that fucking jumping section, but also every time I failed I had to go through boring sections with yellow/blue pannels and electric "blobs".
I died so many fucking times. And the best part was when I finally got the second star and got killed by an electric blob 0,5m from the flagpole, because I forgot, that when they use electricity, they can move.
After finishing this level, I just turned off the console and now I feel as tired, as if I was fighting a fucking bear.
Fuck. This. Level.

I really wasn't expecting there to be so many
what a pleasant surprise .
It's one of those games you seem to grow even more fond of after you've completed it.
additional unlockable worlds/levels after the final boss
.It's one of those games you seem to grow even more fond of after you've completed it.
I'm wondering if they originally planned 1 or more of the post boss worlds to come later as DLC - I kinda feel if it were another company releasing a game structured this way that we wouldn't get so much content without having to pay extra via DLC.
WHAT
Re-read the whole post....
ah..wasn't ALL that apparent it was actually the cat posting lol
Ah, sorry about that. I figured it would be clear with all of the pictures...
ETA:
I legit lol'd just now thinking you read this thinking I was describing my own activities and not those of my cat....
(Actually I guess some days this really does describe my own activities...)
212 lives to make it to
. Good or bad? Lot of deaths from just being flat out impatient. Could probably get it below 50 on a replay and probably will try to. To get all 5 shiniest..that's another story.

Aside from the Ghost house theme it isn't exactly knocking my socks off. Sounds like a souped up 3D Land
For real. That star was rough.

Anyone know when Toys r'us is having their next Nintendo software sale? I missed getting this then.
