I love the gamepad, but I can get why people don't. It's comfy for me but, given the size, I have to readjust my hands slightly to go from joysticks to buttons. I especially have to adjust when hitting different shoulder buttons. It might just be because I'm not quite used to it yet, but I'm noticeably more sloppy when playing on the gamepad.

Mainly for me it is the battery life. I can only get about three or so hours before I have to charge it up. Same problem I had with Wind Waker, I loved the menu/map being on the second screen but it limited my play time on the weekends.
I'd say 4 great exclusive games; NSMBU/NSLU, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and now 3D World. Versus zero exclusive great games on other next-gen consoles so far.
Yeah, I hear you there. Of course, if I'm going to go really long, I'll just plug it in while I play. Not ideal, but works okay.
My gamepad died after moving into the living room and leaving my charger someone in world 4 so I've switched to Wiimote and Chuk
Edit Sorry for dp on mobile

Just 3 hours?? Dang that's bad. I've got mine on the lowest brightness setting and I get a few more than that.
I would also say LEGO City Undercover though not everyone's cup of tea. Has a great sense of humor, nice pacing, insanely creative setpieces
I don't play local multi or survival horror so those two are out for me personally. I could them being up there for those that do however.

Don't forget Game and Wario. Doesn't offer much but it's pretty much gamepad only.
That drawing game is so much fun with other people. So is the island game. That said I wouldn't pay $40 for it. Get it for $20 or less like I did.

I'll admit my game pad isn't on the lowest brightness. I may do that for this one.
Well, I mean it shows that people are interested in the game. Perhaps enough to get the console...
Though think including 2 Mario games and expecting people to buy a 3rd was a weird business decision.

I was at my local Gamestop yesterday, and someone was bitching about not being able to play his PS3 GTAV game in his new PS4. A lot of people just don't follow close enough to be informed.
With the exception of Galaxy 1, EAD are masters of pacing. I can pop 3D Land or Galaxy 2 in with the intention of only playing a single level and end up blowing through whole worlds.
You probably won't regret it.
Ouch. Sounds like someone got rid of their PS3 stuff assuming 4 was BC. That really bites.

Whoa whoa whoa does Twitch stream at 60 FPS? This is the smoothest thing I have ever seen in my life.

Ugh, seems like I wasn't close enough to a distribution center to get it today from Amazon, although ALBW is coming later today.
I have and it's not what I'd consider "great" in single player. It's okay though.
I wish Nintendo would go back and patch in online multiplayer though. Same for Pikmin 3 and the Mario games. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot.

There are so many little details.
Watching Sixfortyfives stream, he's in a dark cave level where you can only see the area immediately around Mario, or lit by fireballs.
He finds a little passage that leads to a tiny room where, apropos of nothing, there's a cool little secret grotto with a green star in the middle of it, some green crystals poking down from about.
No other green crystals in the level. Nintendo was just like "hey, you know what would make this little secret place look cool?"

These two alone are so freakin underrated. Then you have MH3U, Lego Cities, and NFS:MWU. Let's not forget about all the fun eShop and Indie games.

I genuinely don't want to kill the koopa troopas. I feel like I am taking candy from a kid when I see them desperately chase their shells. I just bypass them.
Just imagine that you're helping the fight against childhood obesity.

can this be played multiplayer with regular wiimotes or doe sit have to be motionplus
Regular
Regular remotes work, the game makes no use of motion plus or pointer controls.

Played it finally, liked the controls about as well as I thought I would have.
Backflip and long jump still whimpy. Spin jump's return was a nice surprise though.

I liked Galaxy 1's pacing more from what I remember.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat was also incredible. But I feel the same on Galaxy. I actually haven't touched the game since I beat it the first time through back when it first came out. Galaxy 2 on the other hand I've fired up a couple of times. Same with 3D Land.

is this game too long to speed run?
I would really like to see a speedrun pro go at it

You should probably warn others that Lego City is dead simple. I mean brain dead simple. It's coma-inducing at times. But the saving grace is the story, its characters and one or two sections that make for memorable experiences (riding a T-Rex and falling from space). If it's a sandbox playground experience they want, I would go GTAV without question, unless the person is under ten years-old.

I'm the opposite. I still haven't finished Galaxy 2 but I feel the first is incredible and easily replayable.
Edit: and LCU is still the best Wii U game. I found the difficulty to be just right.

Yup, great game to play with your kid. But too easy for gaffers. Very charming and funny though.
