NIntendo wants some feedback on their social media coverage during E3

Asking what they should have more of in their social media and listing memes as an option got a chuckle out of me.

I'm going through Wonderful 101 on a bottle cap collection mission. There's a caps for completing all the secret missions, as well as the bonus Kahkoo-regahs.

Know I gotta complete the Kahkoo-regahs on Normal, Hard, and 101%. Unsure if it's the same for the Secret Missions. Seen some claims that you gotta complete the secret missions on all 5 difficulties, can anyone confirm this?

Also, gently caress Wonder-Gambler. Been through that wheel about a dozen times without getting him yet.

I can confirm. However, once you clear all the secret missions in a level, you can quit out of the level with those secret missions still counted as being cleared the next time you reach a checkpoint in the level and the checkpoint save indicator pops up in the bottom left.

Nintendo announces re-release of CD-i Mario and Zelda games because Iwata feels their company needs "more memes" in order to succeed.

The Treehouse stuff was the best marketing I've seen from a game company since... well, maybe forever. I'm so used to these tightly controlled demos where I might as well be watching a video. The more freeform Treehouse told me a lot more about what the games were going to be like than the five minute video of The Witcher 3 (which I'm sure will be good since the previous two games were, but that was a bad, by-the-numbers demo they were doing for people at E3). The biggest problem with it is that they might not have had enough to show.

No loving kidding, the super awkward "gameplay videos" where it's not clear if you're supposedly hearing actual human players talking or a post-play voiceover or NPC chatter will hopefully die as an industry trend. The sooner I never see that bullshit again, the better.

I liked when they had the Splatoon devs face off against the game testers and the testers got owned multiple times in a row, that was great. And then they made rude squid gestures.

Edit: Splatoon will save video games

Yeah the Splatoon dev during a live interview was like "Hang on I'm owning dudes" and that sold me on the game way more than some fakey "gameplay" trailer for Call of Shootmans 17

Yo US dudes, Kmart is doing some sort of points-back deal with Wii U preorders where you can get two for ~$100 and then get $40 off in points, or something?

http://slickdeals.net/f/7078082-2x-wii-u-games-pre-order-41-shop-your-way-points-105-free-shipping

Eligible games include pretty much every big upcoming Wii U game (Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, Kirby Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10, Smash, Splatoon, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Yoshi's Wooly World) plus a few other games for other platforms.

edit: I was reading the deal wrong. It's actually amazing.

But I just tried it and it didn't recognize the coupon code anymore.

This isn't directly related to the E3 survey, but I'm gonna bring it up anyway: at the last investors' briefing, Miyamoto said they're gonna be phasing out the Iwata Asks articles because they're too "niche" and they want to spend their time on promotional tacks that have more mainstream appeal. They're probably right, but they're also wrong as hell, so whenever Nintendo asks you for fredback, tell them how rad Iwata Asks is and how you want more of 'em and/or suggest ways they could make them more appealing to more people, or whatever.

If Double Helix can make a passable Killer Instinct game I guess, then I'm sure somebody at Nintendo could make a baller rear end Urban Champion remake.

Very easily replaceable. Just search for "gamecube av cable" on Amazon or something and order one. It's also the same cable as the N64 and SNES, so if you've got one of those lying around you can steal their AV cable.

In all seriousness, I am ok with a little bit of humor but I am not interested in Nintendo trying to mimic the front page of reddit or whatever. Maybe I am just a cranky old fart or something but that's not really my bag.

It'd be even funnier if they announced a Playstation Plus-esque free monthly games service on April 1st, and had the first and only game be Urban Champion 2. And it would just be the exact same game as Urban Champion but with different color pallets for everyone, kind of like that Luigi Bros. extra on SM3DW.
