Just got a wiiu with mk8 and sm3dw, what other games are God tier for a gf+bf to play together?

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (and DKC Returns as well, though that's for the Wii) is great if you can handle the difficulty. It gets pretty challenging at times, and even more so with two players.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed playing New Super Mario Bros U. We also like MK8 and 3D World so you're good there. We also like playing Pushmo and Captain Toad.

Also get Nintendoland. It's way more fun than it looks and there are plenty of cooperative modes.

Woolly World isn't out yet. And honestly, Yoshi platformers don't have a good track record, so I wouldn't sink a lot of hope into it.

Yoshi's Island was so good it's a tough act to follow. That's why they remade it with worse versions twice.

Yeah, the first three all went at least reasonably well, this one had me stuck in a lobby with three people (with my only way out being to turn off the console), and now I simply can't connect at all.

Yeah, I got into one game and now nothing. I got to level 19 on the squid jumping game, though, so it's not a total loss.

Well this sucks. No battles for me either. This testfire is a real dud. My first time getting to try as well, so terrible first impression. Nintendo better open up another one for a longer window to prove it actually works. No one trying to log on in their right mind would buy this.

I hit two of the original three test fires and everything went super smoothly. I wonder if there's more traffic on this one, or if they intentionally scaled back server capacity to see what would happen or what.

This is what I actually expected the first one to be like. I got one game in at least, I suppose.

Honestly he's completely right. Not everyone got to play the original 3 due to the weird times they went up so now that it's at a actual time that makes sense for a lot of people the first exposure to the game is broken servers. They really do need to extend it.

This is the same poo poo that happens every single major online game pretest and release ever. The whining about GTA Online when that game dropped was loving legendary.

Welp Spatoon test fire was a bust for me. Tried for 45 minutes to get in to a game and nothing. I might hold off buying it for a week or 2 until the servers are settled.

Just don't see what's so wrong in wanting a demo's time to get extended. It's already crazy enough people can only play a single hour, but when that single hour is "sorry go away" it's not exactly unwarranted.

Personally I wouldn't count Splatoon as a "major" online game so the server shittiness is extra mystifying to me :shrug:

Yeah this was the first test fire I could actually be around for, and its pretty disappointing that it isn't working.

The Squid Jump game is pretty fun though, got 3 game overs on level 20 and gave. up

And the slow searching for server music is rad as heck

Whatever the different factor was that made this testfire fail when the other three went fine, I am sure Nintendo is examining it closely and seeking to resolve it as promptly as possible.
