Astro7x posted:I don't think I'm ever getting my Pro Controller from Amazon. Are they that rare, or is Nintendo just not giving them controllers? I don't really need it right now, so I might as well keep the order open I think. Amazon gave me $5 in Amazon Digital Video Game credit for my troubles too, now I just need to find something to spend it on. I bought one at best buy no problem, though I'm kinda disappointed that toys r us has no idea when they were getting any (they weren't even on the sight, except for that initial page describing the wii u). I got that $20 groupon for toys r us and have no reason to use it =/ quote:Sonic Racing inexplicably uses a different button for accelerate on the Pro than it does for the Gamepad and Classic. I like that the game supports every conceivable controller, but I wish they'd put a little more thought into the options and maybe included customization. I don't really remember anything different about the control scheme for SASRT on the pro controller over the wii u gamepad - they (all controller choices) have two different control options - the gamepad and pro controller have ones with either the right trigger or A as accelerate

Why don't they just implement an age gate. They already do age verification on accounts (if you are a child), there' no way a drop down menu for age (like every website with adult content has had forever) would be harder than blocking downloads during certain periods of the day

Gutcruncher posted:Just got Sonic Racing. The moment I think the game cant top itself in awesomeness, the Skies of Arcadia stage happens. Everyone should buy this game. I'll probably like it more on the pc version, but the frame rate and places itll randomly consider me out of bounds (i was on the edge of that bridge for half a second and it did the oob / zoom out while I was driving normally right after) have made me dread it somewhat.

There was a 1900 number with a live person, and a non 1-900 (but long distance for most) with a pretty extensive automated tip system for a lot of recent titles. I remember calling that one up and figuring out how to cross some gap in one of the later dungeons in links awakening.

Saturniid19 posted:Got a Wii U for Christmas, trying to transfer my Wii info over. I've tried a few SD cards on my Wii and when I check the SD card menu it says "Nothing is inserted in the SD Card Slot." Am I doing something wrong or do I need to send my Wii in for repairs just so I can start using another console? Are you using sdhc cards on a wii that hasnt been updated in a very long time (what version does the system menu say you're on)? edit: actually this probably isn't the problem if you've managed to get to the online shop and download the transfer app. Try doing a reformat of the sd card on your pc.

Neo Rasa posted:It's flawed but I do like it more than Twilight Princess personally. The game is bugged wherein it doesn't save that you've been told what a rupee is. So every time you load up your game again, you get to be told what every single item is the first time you pick it up in that session. Other than that the main flaw of the game for me is that they basically removed exploration completely. Also at one point where you do have the opportunity to do an area out of order, due to a glitch if you do it out of order a flag for another dungeon won't trigger and you'll have to restart the entire game. Have a nice day. You can fix your save with that channel in the wii shop

Bobnumerotres posted:So heavy mii/funky kong in a motor bike was outright the fastest character and he was one of the heaviest. Basically everyone with a serious rank used him online. This was me that spring break after it came out. Funky kong and then a big mii with the smuggest gooniest face I could make. He took me to 9000+ rating and then it got bad because you never got matched with anyone your level and getting one of those bad breaks in the third lap meant you lost 600 points.

The Black Stones posted:Just a heads up to any goons who might think about buying Pandora's Tower for their Wii U to pass the time - don't do it. The game shipped with a HUGE loving bug that locks up your system near the end of the game if you try and enter a dungeon. There's workarounds for it apparently which involve stuff like having to trigger cut-scenes or ejecting the disc at a certain time and putting it back in to make it not freeze up (it must be a very precise time, cause I tried and it still froze). However, I would rather play a game where I don't have to jump through hoops just to play my game. How it slipped by their QA team I'll never know but apparently the only ones who can patch it is the dev's and they don't know when that will happen. I wonder if there is a wiird/gecko os code to resolve this or just put you in the dungeon edit: you can do the full softmod / hd loader on the wii side of the wii u, right? moron izzard fucked around with this message at 18:08 on May 16, 2013 |

Slightly disappointed in the mk8 demo, since it seemed to be the lowest cc class(or just really slow in general) and I picked wario, who apparently had very slick turning. And don't compare that boo level to the house of dead one, just dont also wario throbs as you hold the fart horn
