Wii U Discussion: Super Mario 3D World out in all the places (that matter!)

My reward should be coming.... soon. Nintendo emailed me saying they shipped it a few days ago.

What reward?

What reward?

The club nintendo gold/platinum member rewards.

The club nintendo gold/platinum member rewards.

Hold on, does it expire today?

I don't know what you mean by expire. They were already shipped out to those who qualified. I don't know if you can still choose a reward if you never did. Going to assume you can't.

I got my deck of cards couple days ago. They're so awesome.

So I watched the Nintendo Direct and I'm disappointed that Reggie mentioned over 30 games coming to the Wii U in the next months, yet they only talked about 3.

And I prolly will get some hate for saying this, but after watching Game and Wario, for the first time so far I've felt pushed away from the Wii U and that all the name calling on the console could be true. When you got the PS3 and XBox 360 getting huge games like Tomb Raider and Ni No Kuni, that game looks so freaking terrible.

So many AAA games being released lately and most, if not any, of them NOT coming to the WIi U is also a joke. Nintendo definitely needs to do something to movitate better 3rd party support.

Whooo! My Wii U came in today!


The bad part is, I can't play it on the same TV I play my Wii on... My dad's going to be pissed, because I'll have to use the TV downstairs. When I plugged everything in on the upstairs TV, turned on the console and began doing the system start-up stuff, the screen flickers black every few seconds and the audio cuts out. I looked it up and it's apparently because it needs a firmware update, but I have no idea how to do that and it probably requires the booklet for the TV, which I don't even think we have, because it was a TV given to us by my uncle. ._.



Anywho, after the system update is done and I've transferred my Wii data to my Wii U, I'll set up my Nintendo Network ID and share it with you guys, as well as buddy everyone.


Edit : CAN'T DO SYSTEM TRANSFERS... My Wii refuses to connect to the internet, so that's out the window. ._.

I saw your friend request and accepted it, Lozmaster. Everyone else I added seem to not have logged in this past week at all. You guys need to log in more! Get Trine 2 and let's play online!


I got Darksiders II this morning for $16 at Target, because they were doing a sale this week (plus I had a gift card). It made my Wii U freeze once, which scared me, but beyond that, this game is very beautiful. I've been playing for the past 3 hours and it doesn't even seem like I've been playing that much (nor does it even seem like I've done much in the game. xd).

I wish THQ or whoever developed the game would release a patch for Wii U optimization for the game. It really needs it. It has the most technical issues of all of the versions of the game, though it comes with most DLC built-in.


My entire thought process these past 3 hours has been "I have no idea what I'm doing, I have no idea where I am, and I have no idea where I'm going, but I'm enjoying it and that's all that matters." It feels a lot like a Zelda game and how a Zelda game SHOULD be : lots of exploration.

I also like the RPG elements, such as leveling up. I wish Zelda would bring leveling up back. It feels great to know your character is growing stronger as you progress, through experience gained and not just through items earned. It's one of the things I love most about Zelda II.

Picked up a Deluxe Wii U the other day, along with ZombiU and New Super Mario Bros. U. Already 100% NSMBU, except for the challenges, and I just recently started ZombiU, both of which have been pretty great. Haven't tried Nintendoland yet, but I'm saving that for a Christmas party coming up soon, so hopefully that'll be a hit at the party.

My ID is "Jarte", so feel free to add me if you please.

Is Trine 2 any good? I played Trine 1 at some point, and it was entirely forgettable. I'm not particularly hyped for the sequel.

Also: First Europe Wii U eShop sale coming up on Thursday (Far sooner than I expected! I guess Developers really do have control over the game prices)

The first 2 titles getting discounts are:
Chasing Aurora: From €11,99 down to €5.99 Until Jan 3rd
Little Inferno: From €14.99 down to €9,99. until Jan 4th

It doesn't look that good, but i'm also looking to get something to have less fingerprints.

Everyone I asked says it's absolutely amazing. I haven't delved into it very much yet, though, since I got distracted by Darksiders II.

In Today’s Japanese Nintendo Direct they said they are looking into and working on the slow loading times of the system menu. But they didn’t give a time frame.

 Talking about Nintendo Direct...

They're going to fix it before the end of 2012.

Nintendo TVii is coming tomorrow.
