greatn posted:Anyone have any $20 ideas what I should buy on WiiU eshop to get one last code while the promotion lasts? Captain Toad rolled me over to one $5 code and having 300 remaining points, so 200 more will get me one last code. My collection of eShop titles is somewhat extensive, so I'm more looking for diamonds in the rough, I have most of the more mainstream ones. Do you already have all the digital games in the recommended list in the Wii U thread? If not, Armillo, Stealth Inc. 2, and Pikmin DLC.

Did anyone pick up Lucadian Chronicles? I did and am having fun with the campaign, but it's lonely without people to play online with.

I played through the first map, got a "disconnected from server" message, and it crashed out to the WiiU menu on me. Am I right in understanding that the game's mainly about positioning your dudes?

I was disappointed to find that a lot of the card art looked unfinished or was just lifted from other places. "Saturn Devouring His Son" is used for one of the cards I can't remember the name of, but I noticed it while drafting. The Wii U could really use some fun card games, even simple ones, but I feel like they didn't go far enough in a single direction with this one. The art's inconsistent and not impressive enough to make collecting for collecting's sake fun, the combat is about as shallow as a mobile CCG, and you don't get enough cards per pack to make spending gold feel worthwhile, especially not if you're hoping to evolve something. I got to the third chapter and still wasn't having much fun swapping cards around until something worked. The fact that it has two forms of online multi is actually pretty cool, there's just no depth whatsoever despite all the rules. Can you tell I really wanted a decent TCG/CCG to play with the gamepad? Still waiting for someone to make an asynchronous multiplayer RPG as well.

The Manticore posted:Still waiting for someone to make an asynchronous multiplayer RPG as well. I think the most saddening thing to me about the Wii U is that I'm not very sure Nintendo will try "the Wii U but with better hardware" for the next generation. I would love to see everything about the Wii U stay in place for at least another generation because it offers an absurd variety and versatility - the Gamepad is an amazing controller that manages to offer a level of versatility that, in some ways, rivals the "mouse and keyboard" controller, and outright surpasses it in a few others. The Wii U is tight as hell and the main reason I've opted to purposely support indie developers on it over Steam is because I want more of them to take note of the system and be able to think more about what they can do with it rather than how much money it's going to cost them: quote:I must ask: what's the business rationale for developing exclusively for the Wii U, given its struggling hardware sales?

There is zero chance Nintendo will have a Gamepad with screen on their next system. It was a giant albatross around their neck and the only reason they didn't dump it Kinect style is because they couldn't.

As much as I love the Wii U, I still don't think I've seen anything that really validates that drat touchscreen's existence. I guess off-TV play is cool, and if you have kids you can rig it up to play in the car fairly easily but man that's really it.

I love switching inputs and toggling volume with it, and using it when I can't find my remote. The gyro in it works amazingly well for fine tune aiming too. Roughly 70% of my playtime is spent off screen because my wife needs the TV or I'm just more comfortable.

Also Hyrule Warriors. Both really use the Gamepad well, Especially the async splitscreen on Hyrule Warriors.

I watched the trailer for Harvest Moon 3 (GBC) and it seemed to seriously undersell the gameplay, except they went for a semi-creepy joke at the end that made the trailer confounding but worth it.

I use it a lot when my wife wants to watch something on TV but I want to play Wii U. It's still way better to play the games on TV though, like they're clearly not designed to be on this tiny screen sometimes. I also kind of like the Miiverse stuff in Mario World, although it's 90% people spamming the stamp you find on that level. Also every time I take a snapshot in Smash Bros I circle Captain Falcon's butt. When do the Club Nintendo rewards change today? I want to see if there's anything worth spending the coins on.

Its hilarious to me this game will earn more money for its creator than Retro City Rampage did in Wii for its creator, while he whines that it never made a cent because of the Wii's policies and that he gets more requests a week for a WiiU version than he does sales.

I don't know what kind of fair policy you could write up to screen for tastefulness. Filtering out adware (which Nintendo does) is a lot more feasible and objectively quantifiable than filtering bad internet humor.

PAL update (week of December 18):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS Street Fighter 2010 Is A Good Game. Lots of upcoming sales for both Wii U and 3DS, including a lot of the better indie games for each platform, but I'll make special note of Korg MO1D/DSN-12 for 3DS, as this'll be the first time they've gone on sale in PAL-land. That "Sonic Boom" theme bundle features the classic (3D-era) character designs instead of the Sonic Boom character designs for whatever reason. Does anyone care? No?
