[abstract alien]

It's up on the eShop.

!!!!!!!!

 

[Wario64]

Hey, they got the picture right this time.

I guess they had no choice since there's no Wii Zelda special edition

 

[olimpia84]

did someone say my name

FUCK YEAH. Glad I held off in getting Rayman Legends. I'll definitely pick up Legends+W101+Pikmin 3

 

[Regiruler]

The NA miiverse for it is open. I thought they usually merged them?

 

[EloquentM]

Woah I'm trippen. Just 10

 

[DownWithTheShip]

Isnt there supposed to be a discount for people who bought Pikmin?

 

[OutToLunch]

Isnt there supposed to be a discount for people who bought Pikmin?

In the US? Nope.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

The NA miiverse for it is open. I thought they usually merged them?

Nope. They usually don't.

 

[Regiruler]

Nope. They usually don't.

So is Art Academy the exception?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

So is Art Academy the exception?

The majority of Miiverse Communities are separated by region. Most, but not all.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Downloading, fuck yeah.

Although I did have to delete Sonic Racing Transformed to make space. I'm gonna need a bigger fridge.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

So is Art Academy the exception?

Nintendo Land as well.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

ETA 6hrs. Bedtime!

 

[Bronetta]

 

[bobbychalkers]

I shall wait with the zen-like patience of Wonder-White until tomorrow morning.

 

[Regiruler]

Nintendo Land as well.

That explains why it never even quivers with staying in the Wara Wara plaza and it's massive post count in comparison with other games.

Although being bundled in helps too.

 

[EloquentM]

2 hours...

 

[OryoN]

Woah I'm trippen. Just 10

Yeah, I was going to correct you. 10.178 GB to be precise.

Estimated 2hr download time for me, currently.

 

[Eusis]

Huh, if I opt to download it might just be time to take advantage of my hard drive.

 

[Dicer]

Downloading... 3.5hrs something to wake up to

 

[JCX]

Went by a 24 hour store to see if they had it, and they were all

Discouraged, but not defeated, I went home to download from the eShop, when I was reminded that I don't have enough space available.

Unite morph for me y'all

 

[Eusis]

Actually if it's going to take that long I think I'll just wait. Birthday advantage is dead if it finishes downloading when that passes.

 

[DarkWish]

UNITE... DOWNLOAD!!!

Now to sleep because this is gonna take a while. I hope I can find some time to play it today.

 

[EatChildren]

Ahh, to play The Wonderful 101 again for the first time.

I say this about every Platinum game.

Bayonetta: Climax Edition on the eShop needs to happen.
Bayonetta -> Wonderful 101 -> Bayonetta 2 Demo -> X Extended Trailer -> Bayonetta 2

I've always wondered why Wii U owners refer to a Bayonetta eShop port as "Climax Edition", when all the extras that came with the Climax Edition were physical goods .

I never thought I'd say this pre-Bayonetta, but I agree. And further to that, imo it's bigger, better, and more fun than Bayo is. And that's me as someone who considered Bayo as pretty much the apex of the action genre. I don't know how this has happened, but it has.

W101, the ultimate action game.

I can't pick which combat system I like more (though TW101 gets points for being proper original), but I'm halfway through Bayonetta again and the difference in encounter diversity really stands out. Not that Bayonetta is in any way bad, but TW101 has a greater assortment of unique end operation boss fights, and mixes up the encounters themselves in more distinct ways.

Granted, the difference may be in part to The Wonderful 101 embracing absolute mania and large scale encounters. It can get away with gimmicks. As a character action game, Bayonetta's encounters are more grounded and focused almost exclusively on the actual fight, so even if the area you fight in is pretty forgettable the battles themselves are still excellent.

 

[Fandangox]

So close, so close to finally being able to play this.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

About 6 hours til liftoff.

 

[dengatron]

wouldnt be able to play until til friday anyways and that sunday deal is looking might sweet for first jumping in to wii u, so i'll hold off until sunday. target wont sell out of this even remotely..

 

[Kodaman]

Downloading!!

Spreading excitement on Miiverse while waiting!

 

[hatchx]

Goddamn so tempted to buy now but that boxart! Tomorrow she will be mine!

 

[abstract alien]

Just a friendly reminder: the Wii U will continue to download and install the game when you turn it off. The power light will turn red like normal, then after a bit it will turn yellow until everything is done.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Goddamn so tempted to buy now but that boxart! Tomorrow she will be mine!

Yeah, that was a tough call for me, dude.

I think the fact that I know I will want to play this game over and over again tipped the scales.

 

[bobbychalkers]

Seriously, dat boxart made me go physical.

 

[Defect]

Finally the wait is over. Heading to Nintendo World in 6 hours to pick mine up.

 

[JCX]

They already know what you've bought on Wii U regardless. You can prove this by logging into the deluxe digital promo site if you're a deluxe/premium owner.

Oh wow, I did not know about this! That explains the digital deluxe question in all the surveys lol. Good thing they still kept track of my points.


Anyone know if you buy the digital version, then buy physical, can they use the same save file?

 

[Thoraxes]

Oh wow, I did not know about this! That explains the digital deluxe question in all the surveys lol. Good thing they still kept track of my points.

It should.

At least it worked going physical to digital for me with Monster Hunter.

 

[Wired All Wrong]

After waiting for 20 minutes to find someone to help me and waiting 10 more minutes to check to see if they have the game, Walmart delivered and I got it. The wait is finally over! This is going to be good.

 

[hatchx]

Yeah, that was a tough call for me, dude.

I think the fact that I know I will want to play this game over and over again tipped the scales.

So you bought it digitally?

I've just been amazed by the colourful boxarts coming out for wiiU. That and seeing how bad it's selling, it has felt like every physical game is a special collector item.

The only game I bought digitally was NSMBU and I sort of regret it.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

So you bought it digitally?

Yeah.

(now I plan on getting it again down the road in stores if it's there)

:[

 

[hatchx]

Yeah.

(now I plan on getting it again down the road in stores if it's there)

:[

It will either be there for dirt cheap, or it will not be there lol

Damn I'm pumped.

 

[Bronetta]

How the hell is this sold out at my local Futureshop already when the store doesn't even open till 10am?

This is some bullshit.

 

[burgerdog]

Does wii u require double the hd space to install a game like ps3?

 

[Omzz]

Fuck gotta wait till monday to ship

Ah well, i'll just play the demo again in the mean time...

 

[Chance Hale]

I wonder if this game will bomb harder than Dead Space: Extraction did. In any case, will get my copy some time tomorrow.

 

[JCX]

After discovering that I had $30 in digital deluxe promo credit, I decided to download it. Need to get a dedicated external too though.

 

[Hypron]

There is a reason why I support Platinum and will continue to do so no matter the platform.

Looking at your avatar, you seem to be a man of good taste.

 

[burgerdog]

About fucking time, this is the main reason I bought a Wii U on day 1. Game should be installed by the time I wake up.

 

[Richie]

After 4 hours with this game, I'll never forgive Nintendo for how hard they dropped the ball promoting it. Fucking GOTY contender and justifies a Wii U purchase on its own.
