Gendo posted:That is a great deal for 60 - 80 hours of gameplay depending how nuts you are about hitting 100% across the board. This man speaks truth. Finally beat it tonight after 21 or so hours and I finished with only 38.3 percent finished. Gonna try to 100% it because i'm having fun platforming around town, we'll see how that goes.

Krakhan posted:For those struggling with wall jumping, when you press up against a wall, when you then press away, there's one of two sprites that appear (depending which way you're facing) so that when you press jump, you wall jump. To add to this, remember not to roll your thumb across the d pad when switching direction; as it can cause you to break out of tumbling animation if you hit up or down. Or maybe I'm just too heavy on the d pad. AngryCaterpillar posted:Would anyone have advice for someone in Australia whose American Wii U is bricked? There was a loss of power when downloading the update and it immediately died. I called Nintendo Australia and their tone wasn't optimistic. They were like 'You can try to send it back and we'll have a look at it but we may not have the correct parts because it's American.' Am I just screwed? Wouldn't it be a matter of software, not parts? And have you tried to call Nintendo America?

So I don't really get this whole "Year of Luigi" thing since I don't think Luigi is that great (I would rather have a "year of WARIO" cause Wario is the best) so the Super Luigi U thing doesn't excite me at all. But goddamn am I glad to get some loving Smash Bros. info soon FINALLY

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/19/smash-bros-mario-mario-kart-in-upcoming-nintendo-direct Nintendo has confirmed that Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros. will appear in a Nintendo Direct before E3. The news comes via Nintendo of America’s Twitter account, which wrote “#IwataSays We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3.” This seems like good news to me. Smash Bros and a 3D Mario Game sound kickass in my book. Nintendo would "win" e3 without even caring about e3. Coupled with the previous news that e3 titles will be playable in best buys across the country, Nintendo might have come up with a good marketing strategy. Time will tell.

There was a survey question in Club Nintendo recently asking people what they thought his defining characteristics are.

1. Scared of ghosts (Luigis Mansion). 2. Even when going on super incredible adventures, still gets dicked out of the spotlight (Paper Mario TYD). 3. Is totally smart enough to find that Mario (Mario is Missing) 4. Kinda rapey (Mario is Missing DOS).

The only Waluigi game that should get made is one where he and Wario are two buddy cops on a grand point and click adventure.

Three separate categories of mircrogames for peeing, eating shoplifted snacks, and highfiving each other as you pass in/out of the washroom.

A GTA styled game starring Waluigi in the Mushroom Kingdom. The goal is to create as much chaos as possible using items like banana peels, shells, and other classic Mario power-ups. Waluigi can kick Toads out of karts. The police are replaced by the Mario Bros, as you cause more problems they use better power-ups. (5 star in GTA would translate to Mario and Luigi getting star power-ups while chasing you.)

Whatever kind of game it is, it needs to have the A button be crotch chop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6CLfZl0m88 Edit: Which reminds me, if you own a Wii but not Mario Strikers Charged, you are stupid.

Gutcruncher posted:Whatever kind of game it is, it needs to have the A button be crotch chop Strikers Charged was the only spinoff game outside of Paper Mario 1,2, and Super Mario RPG that actually gave the characters, character. Like they should have done the last two new Super Mario bros. with the same bizarre over the top action and settings. Yes Mario was briefly encroaching on Sonic Attitude territory, but it was brief and it worked. Also I'm not sure if this is true or not but I heard Wario's Nose is red because he was really supposed to be a lush. Which was also a call back to when Nintendo itself had other businesses instead of videogames. They supposedly made Nintendo beer among other things.

Just vandalize the crap out of the mushroom kingdom, dress as Mario/Luigi to create imposter situations and take on jobs from rival "gangs" like Bowser, Wart and the Boos. The goal being to steal enough money to build your rival mushroom kingdom.

I'm sure shipping the thing to and from the US will probably be expensive, but it can't be as bad as just having a 300+ dollar paperweight.

Yeah I'm thinking the postage combined with repair cost would cancel out the value of the console. I don't know what to do. I can't even sell the gamepad as there are no games that support 2 gamepads yet.

I doubt this will actually work, but have you tried that button combination I honestly can't remember right now that helped people when the update before the last one accidentally bricked a whole lot of consoles?

So one last thing before I give up, have you tried unplugging the thing from the wall and replugging it back in and turning it on and off a few times? It sounds useless and stupid, but it sounds like it's helped othere people in a similar situation.

Game and Wario has a Crowdfarter page now. Or alternatively, someone at Nintendo is taking a giant swing at Kickstarter.
