The Wii U Megathread V2 - Nintendoomed Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Sift;46930366]Metroid Prime Trilogy downloadable I hope you believed[/QUOTE] hooooOOOOOOLY SHIT literally the thing i'm most hyped for from this entire Direct

[QUOTE=Sift;46930366]Metroid Prime Trilogy downloadable I hope you believed[/QUOTE] CALLED IT. kinda

I'm happy with all the Zelda related news. Some sick N3DS (which sadly will come with a digital version) and two pretty awesome characters for Hyrule Warriors. I mean, those animations on Tingle are gold! And I speculated with friends that Fierce Deity would either be a costumes or have a reference has a two-handed sword for Link (because everyone expected Skull Kid to be playable!) Now I got the best of both worlds! Young Link with a two-handed sword! Pretty dope! Now to wait for their trailers to see a bit more. Ahh... the waiting game...

Really, there not going to add any more levels to Cap Toad with Amiibo? Just a dumb little pixel toad.

To be honest, I thought that was a pretty friggin' lame Direct. I don't often say that even when it comes to the weaker ones, but yeah, I'm actually a little irritated after this one.

Downloadable wii games (mp trilogy specifically) and the majoras mask new 3ds bundle was more than enough to please me really.

To clarify the new 3ds with MM does not come with the game. It's just a theme. [url=http://www.nintendo.com/en_CA/amiibo/detail/8N6YSbyryrEoe6GUEfiWGDonP9IU3KL_]Also Lucina is compatible with Mario Kart 8.[/url]

waiting for Galaxy 2 to show up in the eShop I sold my Wii before it came out and now I really want to play it

I can keep my pre-order for the statue. Thanks Sift for clarifying it!

I wanna get Galaxy 1 though before i play Galaxy. Or does it really matter?

[QUOTE=mark6789;46930917]I wanna get Galaxy 1 though before i play Galaxy. Or does it really matter?[/QUOTE] Nah. Not at all. 2 throws the entire story of 1 out the window like nothing happened. That's what I recall. It has new power-ups and Yoshis.

[QUOTE=mark6789;46930917]I wanna get Galaxy 1 though before i play Galaxy. Or does it really matter?[/QUOTE] nah i don't think it matters. both games are a similar experience and the story isn't that important at all.

I'm just hype for Ness amiibo. Good luck trying to get one, though :v:

[QUOTE=TomatoFlakes;46931012]All the smash amiibos are compatible with mk8, they just add costumes though.[/QUOTE] Not all of them, I have a list of those compatible in the amiibo thread. Lucina being there hints there might be more costumes, it's either that or a error.

Wait, so the Wii VC games will still only use the Wii Controllers and not the Gamepad?

[QUOTE=mark6789;46931097]Wait, so the Wii VC games will still only use the Wii Controllers and not the Gamepad?[/QUOTE] Depends on the game, if it supports a classic controller then you can use the gamepad, if it requires motion then you will need to use the wii controllers. [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] Also it isn't VC.

Damn i was hoping to play them with remapped controls on the gamepad. Also any older Nintendo game that gets rereleased on the eshop im going to call it a VC game. I know it isnt but thats what im calling it.

I think with these Wii games coming to the eShop I may have to stock up on some eShop credit. I'm definitely interested in picking up some of the harder to find games. As much as I adore physical copies £9 is a much better price than £55+.

With Mario Galaxy 2 on eshop, does anyone know if it's in HD or is it just a direct port over, because the least they could have done is pop it into 720p [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] it's a direct port, shame.

Also, the first 3 Japanese games for the Wii VC is Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby: Return to Dreamland....guessing they hate Metroid. is the reveals the same? because here in the EU one of the future games is Pandora's Tower. hopefully it doesn't stifle any remakes, a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door would be sweet, but Miyamoto probably would veto it a 2nd time due to being too new to go so soon. EDIT: RIP 80-100 dollar copies of Trilogy at GameStop.

I want splatoon so bad. I can see it being played competitively.

I think it looks pretty great, but I can't imagine [I]a competitive multiplayer shooter on the Wii-U[/I] having a lifespan longer than 37 seconds.

was about to buy Galaxy 2 until I saw I only had $3 on my eShop balance and the eShop doesn't like my credit card boo [editline]14th January 2015[/editline] and it's 1.6GB so now I have to dig up my old external hard drive

[QUOTE=Skyward;46931951]I think it looks pretty great, but I can't imagine [I]a competitive multiplayer shooter on the Wii-U[/I] having a lifespan longer than 37 seconds.[/QUOTE] i wouldn't rule it out. it'll depend on how balanced and deep the game ends up being. could be a really unique competitive game, who knows.

How much is Galaxy 2 right now? Can't check my Wii U atm.

[QUOTE=DrCactus;46931997]How much is Galaxy 2 right now? Can't check my Wii U atm.[/QUOTE] it's on sale so it's $9.99, regularly it's $19.99

Why are they releasing Galaxy 2 first? Seems kind of silly for people like me who haven't played either and want to play the original before the sequel.
