Just secured a preorder for the regular model. I had no idea the Premiums would move so fast! I won't get my hands on it till Christmas, so let's hope ZombiU comes out by then.SirPhoebos posted:I'm curious why it's coming out first in North America and not Japan This is not unheard of.

Bombadilillo posted:So is Assasians Creed 3 coming out on WiiU earlier then other consoles? Because its on all the Nov. 18th lists but comes out on the 30th for other consoles. If so this fact needs to be advertised more. Not only shows WiiU is getting "serious" or "hardcore" whatever you want to call them games, but with some advantage. Way to make my choice of single Wii U game for Christmas harder, you dick. TaurusOxford posted:He didn't make it harder for you at all...

Artix74 posted:My metric is always "Can I justify the cost of the console with an equal cost in games?" and Wii U might be the first time that metric has been met at launch instead of having to factor in future games that I know are coming anyway. I'm definitely in for NSMBU and Darksiders 2, probably going to get Sonic All Stars Racing, maybe ZombiU, and The Wonderful 101 will be coming later in the launch window. That's $220-280 worth of the console right there, and we know there'll be a "proper" 3D Mario at some point, at least one Zelda, a Smash Bros and Mario Kart... Let's not forget Monster Hunter in March!

I'm starting to think that Nintendo Land is engineered to be the most embarassing game to talk about ever. "Hey, wanna play Yoshi's Fruit Cart?"

Bobnumerotres posted:Something I am legitimately terrified of is Namco reporting a year from now that they're having too many disagreements with Sakurai over the competitive/online aspects of the future Smash Bros. I'd be legitimately terrified if tournament Smash players' dick-waving were officially sanctioned.

Nickoten posted:Do leaderboards always terrify you? Who cares if other people have a higher rank on an online leaderboard according to arbitrarily set standards? That second part isn't directed specifically at you, I just think Sakurai's way of thinking may hold him back from making a game that really can appeal to many people. Leaderboards don't terrify me or anything, but I just don't see the lack thereof as something that's crippling Smash. It'd be nice, I guess, but I don't think it improve the game at all.

Man-Thing posted:Same here, first-time-scribbler. I can tell my brain just isn't wired to play this game - I was in the fire station, and the alarm on the first floor didn't work. So I spawned a generator, and two wires, and connected them to it. No dice. Then I added the adjective "working" to "fire alarm" and got a starite fragment. That sounds absolutely glorious.

Underwhelmed posted:I just booted the system up, hit the button to flip the screens, and found that you can zoom into any of those Miis, touch them, and it will display a recent post from them. It is such a stupid thing, but I love it. The pictures are great. The MLP and Furry drawings.... not so great. Makes me wish there was a "Hell No" button to go with the "Yeah" Idunno, as long as it's not porn or anything I can see the nice things in furry art. Ponies, though, yeah, that poo poo can get annoying.

Yeah, you're right, apart from four games that don't count for some crazy reason, Super Metroid is the last thing to have been released.

Soul Glo posted:In all honesty, it's amazing the numbers increased at all. Did any disc games come out last month? If the numbers don't jump after this month when actual games are releasing, then it'll be time for Nintendo to start lighting things on fire, but with Rayman getting bumped out of February, this is no surprise. Probably a bump due to people buying a console in advance of MH3U. That's pretty much exactly how it played out for my boyfriend.
