How have you been enjoying your Wii U lately /v/?
>>321819431
Been playing Xeno X, on Chapter 7 now.
>>321819526
what level are you at?
>>321819431
That implies I own this piece of shit.
>>321819431
All I have are super smash brothers, Hyrule warriors, Mario Kart 8, and whatever the Super Mario game that isn't a traditional side scroller... I knew it was a risk to get Harbor warriors for the genre and it didn't work out for me so I never play it I only ever play Mario Kart 8 when girlfriend is around and I've plateaued at Super Smash Brothers and find no more joy since I am NOT getting any better with the current amount of play time I invest... What hope do I have for another game anons?
>>321821126
What kind of games do you like?
Bought Xenoblade Chronicles (the original Wii one) on the eShop for £18
Pretty cool game so far
what does /v/ think of it, I sort of never really entered threads etc. to do with it when it originally came out
>>321821776
Rpgs, (currently playing through nwn2 campaigns), traditional platformers, casual pvp games
Pretty happy, every year I've been getting consistently good exclusives.
I started to regret my purchase, but I recently got Xenoblade X, and holy shit I played 80 hours so far and still haven't seen half the game. Just finished chapter 10, and there is still so much to do.
Today I bought Splatoon, played 5 matched and it is fun as hell so far. A few weeks ago I bought DK Tropical Freeze, but I'm just in world 3 so far.
I've been enjoying my Wii U way more than my PS4, which to me is basically a Bloodborne machine.
>>321822000
>traditional platformers, casual pvp games
Get Splatoon. It has some platforming elements, and the online isn't very intense. Of course you can make it more competitive.
>>321819431
It's "the Smash Bros Machine" for me, and nothing else.
Pretty much, i love smash, mario kart and soon i'll have Xenoblade, also own NSMBU+LU, Bayonetta1&2 and WWHD(haven't played it yet)
>>321822000
Xenoblade Chronicles X\
Splatoon
Yoshi's Woolly World
New map in a few minutes
>>321819431
It's gotten next to no games this year, and I've still played it pretty much 100 times more than my PS4, which saw one run of Bloodborne and that's it. I'll get the DLC soon though
>>321822854
>Yoshi's Woolly World
>>321822000
>traditional platformers
And you still don't have DKC: Tropical Freeze?
Get it, it's one of the all time best, at least to me
>>321823167
ebin
>>321819431
Probably the most played out of my other consoles and PC. Xenoblade X easily got 200hours in the passed few weeks. There was also MK8, Mario Maker, Smash and Splatoon. So pretty good year.
>>321823268
>tropical freeze
Pfft, boring and generic as fuck.
Is the IsoU piracy a thing or is it just a theory?
>>321823431
Bait.jpg
But well, maybe platformers just aren't your thing
>>321823431
Just because a Platformer has platforming doesn't make a "generic". You just don't like Platformers.
Waiting for the 5.5 exploit release.
Yea, I have. I got Splatoon on black friday and have been having fun with that. I got Yoshi's Wooly World and that is a ton of fun too, and super comfy. Mario Maker is still great too.
>>321823538
I like non- generic and fun platformers, not the piece of trash you mentioned.
>>321823431
It's really fast paced, challenging, and every single level is unique though.
It didn't quite grab me during the first world, maybe you didn't play very far
>>321823694
>I like non- generic and fun platformers
such as?
>>321823538
Not the guy you're arguing with, but I prefer generic. Anything else and you get silly attempts to reinvent the wheel -- straying from the path of "generic" graced the video game industry with wagglan and paid DLC.
>>321823694
What do you think is a more fun platformer?
Do you like the Meat Boy / Dustforce genre more?
Or collectathons?
I absolutely loved TF, so I don't really get you
When is that 5.5 hack coming?
>>321819431
the wiiu is a dead console with nothing to play, why would you want some legacy console when all the games are coming out on everything else?
>>321823532
>all platformers have a ridiculous 3 year old aesthetic and are easy as fuck
>inb4: muh unnecessary collection of meaningless shit
been checking mario maker 5 times a day because my levels are starting to rake in the gold stars. bought pandora's tower on a whim and am pleasantly surprised.
>>321824332
>aesthetic for 3 year olds
fix'd
>>321824119
You could play some great games while waiting for 2017 for example
>>321821126
more
>>321819431
everytime I decide to turn it on I just watch netflix instead but I have fun with splatoon every now and then
>>321824119
All the games that are coming out are same shit I've played 10 years ago "hd remasters". Fuck that! Only game on "new" consoles that I want is bloodbourne. I'm staying with PS3+WiiU.
>>321824332
Your shit is as retarted as the picture you posted, good work
I've been a Wii U fag from the beginning. Got it when it had just been released. I have practically every Wii U exclusive, sans Wooly World.
I got a PS4 for Xmas and I've been bouncing back from Metal Gear and Destiny to Xenoblade X and Mario Maker. Vidya is pretty good these days.
>>321821960
I'm pretty casual, but it's my favorite game. I only have it for N3DS though.
Just got a Wii U as a gift from my roommate with Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart, Nintendoland, and Kirby rainbow curse. Was PC only before and having a lot of fun with the exclusives. Not even sure where to expand from here, was thinking either Xenoblade, Pikmin 3, Mario Party, or Splatoon. Not sure whether I should play the original Xeno/Pikmin first though.
For y'all other Wii U owners, are any of the amiibos worth it, or are they pretty negliable?
Yes I just got Yoshi's Woolly World for christmas and it's pretty good so far IMO. Reminds me a lot of the DKCR games.
>>321819431
Just got Xenoblade today.
Chapter 3 and its pretty fun so far.
I love how you can break enemy parts to get certains drops.
But I think they could have done a better job with the divisions. You can join any and literally do jobs for all of them at the same time. Whats the point??
>>321824958
I'm a big Nintendrone and I haven't even thought about getting an amiibo
>>321824958
you don't really have to care about amiibos. if there's a character you really like and want a figure of, get it, and you might get special skins in a few games, other than that w/e. i guess theyre sort of fun in smash if you pick your main so you can train it well but its more of a novelty
Been playing Hyrule Warriors all day. Really fun. After that I want to jump back into Xenoblade.
>>321824958
buy one if you like the idea of a cute little figure on your desk. the digital perks are pretty negligible. if you like link, his amiibo unlocks a weapon in HW. i personally never play as link in that game so i don't have one.
>>321824958
Amiibo are pretty negligible barring the few games built around them like amiibo festival
also XenoCX is not really all that related to the original so you jump into either
Just picked up one with Mario Kart bundled in and also bought Mario Maker. The controller is charging right now. I'll most likely pick up Smash and maybe Splatoon sometime soon.
>>321819431
For most of it's life it was MH3U machine for me. Got Lego City, Mario 3D world, Smash. Still sometimes playing Bayo 1,2 and Hyrule Warriors. Got Xenopotato girls X and Mario Shiller recently, I'm pretty happy with that.
>>321825158

Haven't played my Wii U in a year. After finishing Bayonetta 2 last year, I haven't played my Wii U since then.
>>321825157
Dance Commander
>>321822762
why don't you get other games then?
>wanna buy a Wii U for Xenoblade and Bayonetta
>Bayonetta is like $80+ online
Fuck, can I pirate games on it yet? Wii softmodding was amazing.
>>321824958
I have the Yarn Yoshi and 8-Bit Mario amiibo and they are both pretty great
As for games, Mario Party isn't very good. Also you don't need to play Xenoblade Chronicles to enjoy X.
>>321823972
he's just here to shitpost. Stop giving him attention.
>>321819431
Xenoblade X
Xenoblade Chronicles
FAST
Ducktales Remastered
Shovel Knight
Back to work tomorrow but enjoyed my last two weeks off with it
>>321825802
You can buy digital, also my local gamestop also had it for $35 physical with both 1+2.
I've been playing Mario Tennis. I know it's not worth the price but I got it for Christmas, and it's fun. It should be 15 dollars, and I hope they add friend lobbies.
>>321819526
>god knows how many hours in
>only chapter 9, going on level 45
>every story chapter and alien race opens up a ton of sidequests
I really want to see the rest of the story but everything else is so good.
I ended up playing Mario Maker for a bit at my cousin's house. It was fun, any place to get it for cheap?
>>321825802
Where do you live?
I've got Bayo 2 +1 but I don't even play it anymore.
>>321825682
Is there a way to take better screenshots from the WiiU?
Because these Miiverse screenshots come in this laughable resolution.
Else I gonna just take photos with my phone...
>>321826058There are only 12 chapters, so you're near the end
>>321825991
NYC,wanna play pretend?
>>321825802
>$80
Thats literally the price I paid on Xenoblade.
Nintendo are really jews, but I still gonna wait a bit more before I softmod my WiiU.
Not that there are that many games to pirate though
>>321826256
> he thinks it ever ends
>>321825802
It was a tenner on the Xmas sales on the online shop. Missed your opportunity my m8.
IS DEVIL'S THIRD FUCKING WORTH IT JUST FOR SINGLE PLAYER
I KEEP HEARING MP IS A DEAD AND NOT ALIVE, BETTER OFF WAITING FOR F2P PC VERSION FAMILIA
Been switching back and forth between Hyrule Warriors and Smash Bros.
/v/ tourneys are really fun, especially whenI get 2nd place once the tourney ends
Still have splatoon to open.
>>321826236
Post directly on 4chan/image uploading site from the browser
Not sure if I should get Bayonetta 2 or Pikmin 3. Never played Bayo before but I downloaded the demo to check it out.
>>321825157
Same here
Having fun running around and getting bodied by Sirene the Lost
>>321825682
Is the Galactic Knight line good? I just got into Blast Fencer I wanna know if I should turn back now
>>321826593
if you can find it buy it
even if you dont like sp you can sell it for mad dosh
>>321819431
Yeah, Xenoblade.
Hate the music, but enjoyable game mechanics. Can't complain.
>>321826609
I thought you died. I was happy.
>>321826713
Pikmin is solid.
Bayo is a crazy good experience if you are into action games.
It depends on your tastes, really.
>>321826713
Get Wonderful 101
Still playing Xenoblade, working on getting materials for more lv60 Skells to fill out my party.
Got mine about 7 months ago or so. I have Smash, Mario Maker, Splatoon, Wind Waker, and some download games. I'm pretty satisfied overall.
>>321826968
already have it
>>321826593
nintendo really screwed over devils third would love to play it
>>321827027
You're the only trip fag I can kind of stand. Thought you'd like to know that because all trip fags are ego orientated
No. My fucking Wii U refuses to read my Bayonetta 2 or Smash 4 game discs. Hoping for the exploits to come soon.
>>321825802
I knew this game would go up in price in the future but is it really I saw it for 35 on gamestops website months ago
>>321822028
>mario sunshine
nigga what
>>321827323
stop scratching your discs ?
>>321825157
Depending on what you find most enjoyable, it'll be easier to buff up your BLADE level which allows you to upgrade your field skills and upgrade your reward ticket max (both of which you're going to want) also allows you more options in your barracks
Upgrade your mechanical skill first if you don't want to suffer through what I put up with.
I don't know what it is but I love the simplicity of the Wii U's home layout.
>>321826716
Galactic Knight's skills are fucking' boon if you have the right set up.
It ultimately doesn't matter since you can basically max out all classes but it's a good place to start
>>321827841
And be sure to get the "off the record" missions from the mission board to up the skills to lv5 once you have one at lv4 (there's one mission for each type), nothing more annoying than reaching a probe spot or finding a hard to reach treasure and you can't obtain it.
I just got Mario Maker, and it's charming as fuck. Thank you anon!
>>321828154
true but that's late game shit.
>>321824658
Would if wasn't mobile. Sorry m80
>>321827991
I think it's a step down from the Wii IMO. Really wish they went with a whole different visual identity but w/e I doubt they'll use Wii branding a third time so I can deal with this.
>>321826854
I did, a little bit on the inside when I read your post.
>>321828286
I was level 60 and had all reachable probes done before I started chapter 7, so I cleared those missions out during that time because I wall-climbed, skyrim style, up a couple of cliffs only to reach probes and treasures that required lv5.
>>321828483
I can't decide if that's dedication or autism but I admire your tenacity
>>321828321
>I think it's a step down from the Wii IMO
how?
>>321828662
I was having more fun exploring, seeing the world, and such. Once I got my free skell I used it's larger jump to scale around to areas I couldn't on foot, I could had easily just went through chapter 9 for the flying, but I wanted to see just how much I could do without it.
>>321827991
>can move all necessary bullshit aside
>main applications are neatly at the bottom, out of the way in with simplistic icons
>your main page can literally just be VIDEO GAMES
Playing Xenoblade X like there's no tomorrow. 100 hours in.
>>321828784
I was kinda referring to being level 60 that early in the game.
>>321828773
it just looks like every phone/tablet interface: fisher price edition
wii's menu was at least an interesting concept as an array of tv channels you choose from, and it has animations instead of static images, and it was faster
wii u has a better home button menu though
>>321828889
Oh, not hard to do once you have a party full of skells, there's easily reached and killable mobs everywhere, especially if you have a couple of weapons that hit multiple targets.
Fuck yeah
I got Tropical Freeze for Christmas and it is dongtacular
>start Xenoblade X
>finish character creation
>realize I just made Dunban
why did you have to be so perfect
>>321829190
Dun Dun is best Dun.
>>321828968
>it just looks like every phone/tablet interface: fisher price edition
What are you even talking about
>>321829061
Really? I always contemplate on getting it whenever I see it. It looks fun but it also seems like I'd get real bored of it quick.
>>321822854
>>321823268
I am either going to get Yoshi's Wally World or Donkey Kong tropical freeze you phaggots convince me right now of which one to get
>>321829313
the wii u OS >>321827991
>>321829367
Both are great but Woolly World is something special
I've played a lot of Smash, literally the only game on the Wii U that's worth a shit!
>>321829367
theyre both great choices pick whichever
>>321819431
I enjoy playingit on my PC soon.
>>321826716
>Sirene the Lost
Is that the little monster?
I just killed it a couple hours ago. It didnt put much challenge.
>>321827841
>>321828154
For now I joined the Outfitters because making better weapons and armor seemed more important to me at the moment, but yeah I heard about the mechanical skills.
I realized that you use it to mess with the broken technology stuff around the world so I'm guessing its really important.
To be honest I've barely used it in 2015
Looking forward to Star Fox though
>>321824943
Ah
Is it fairly casual/easy all the way through?
I'm not really an expert at RPG's at all and kind of lean towards the less 'indepth' ones and enjoy the more colourful kinda worlds etc. (Blue Dragon, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest 8-although I did find DQ8 quite hard)
I just like a good story and cool world pretty much, I hate getting stuck in RPGs and having to grind my ass off
if Xenoblade is a bit on the easier side then I'm all for itas casual as that sounds, I've just never been that great at RPGs
>>321829660
also Eternal Sonata, I enjoyed that a lot
>>321827605
The discs are perfect. Every game made before those 2 games work. Wonderful 101, SM3DW, MK8, DKCTF, all work. I never even got a chance to touch Bayonetta 2. I got the Wii U on launch, and the disc drive just sucks ass.
I won't need the disc drive to be functional when I turn it into a piracy machine.
>>321829660
I wouldn't say xenoblade is an easy game to get into at all.
Different guy here, but some of the later shit will throw you for a loop if you don't dedicate some time and effort into learning the games mechanics
>>321830042
That's weird. My friend's Smash stopped reading right but it was just his disc, when he uses my disc it's fine. Never heard of anything like your situation before. Have you called customer support? They might be accomodating
>>321829660
I'm kinda the same, I'm not a fan of getting way too in depth with RPGs and XCX took me about 8 hours to understand but I just absolutely love exploring and discovering/finding things that everything else is just a bonus IMO and Mira is such an incredible place to explore
NEW SPLATOON MAP IS UP
>>321830524
OH SHIT!
>>321830524
oh nice this one looked pretty good
Got the smash/splat bundle for xmas. Pretty happy with it. I'll probably pick up Mario Maker and maybe Bayonetta 2 or W101.What VC titles should I get?
>>321829367
Yoshi's Woolly World is pretty sweet. It's just a feel good game.
>>321830758
Megaman bro.
That and mother maybe. I dunno, it's just your preference. They have limited games for the 64, but most of them are pretty good.
Tons of titles for NES/SNES
>>321830758
None, unless you really want gamepad support.homebrew the vWii on it and buy an external drive for it. Then you can play anything from the Wii and back as well as a few other consoles and handhelds.
>>321830758
Earthbound
Super Metroid
Sin & Punishment
Wild Guns
>>321829436
>>321829561
>>321830889
Alright faggets it's happening
>>321822028
>Consistently good exclusives

>>321831049
Nice
>19/20
Get used to this anon
>>321830301
Yeah, they estimate 100$ repair if it's a hardware problem. So I might as well just wait for the exploits.
Oddly enough, Bayonetta 1 works well during actual gameplay, but during cutscenes it lags bad and the sound doesn't sync with what's going on. So it seems there's something wrong with the drive. Unfortunately, Bayonetta 2 doesn't get recognized at all. I never even got to play it.
>>321819431
Xenoblade. All the fucking time, every little time i can squeeze, is Xenoblade. 96 hours in and about to enter chapter 12.
>>321831049
Wooly World is fucking great currently on World 2 and Ive never been so happy playing a game before
Been a Wii U owner since launch. Obviously there have been some barren stretches of fuck-all to play, and the virtual console drip-feed is disappointingly slow (for the second generation in a row), but overall I'm quite satisfied with the library so far.
>>321831376
I still haven't beaten the secret stage for world 2, god damn it's annoying.
VC in Europe just got/is getting
>Animal Crossing Wild World
>Super Mario 64 DS
>Waverace 64

what is the deal with NA's VC?
I'm surprised the Wii U isn't more popular with girls considering it has 3 of the most unbelievably cute games in existence with Capt Toad, Woolly World, and Rainbow Curse
>>321831587
Girls fucking love Yarn Yoshi. I've seen camwhores on mfc with the yarn yoshi amiibo
>>321831562
>>321831463
The VC has been shit on the 3DS as well, in fact I don't think there's been any new games added to it for months now.
I was really hoping that Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings would have come to the 3DS as well.
I haven't bought a game for it since, fuck, probably Sm4sh. And I barely played that.
I'm still playing MK8 once in a while with friends though, and I recently went back to 100% complete Bayonetta 2 and had fun. Might pick up FAST Racing Neo on the eshop at some point.
>>321831267
I've just finished chapter 5, myself. Currently getting bodied by that huge monster at the end of the affinity mission for Lao you need to take before Chapter 6.
I've managed to stay pretty spoiler-free for this game, so the wholeMimrevelation was a pretty cool moment, even thoughI took one look at the Eye customization in the Character Creator and said "So I'm some kind of android then."
This game is fucking great. It's like Monster Hunter got James Cameron's Avatar pregnant and the child grew up next door to FFXIV.
>>321823070
So this map sucks
>>321832019
doubt it's any worse than Blackbelly Skatepark
>>321831587
>>321831587
Naw, they just like whatever thier boyfriend plays. One girl at work told me she named her dog Riley after 'the guy from call of duty'. i wanted to fucking die.

>sniperfag
OUT
>>321832620
too bad its the only good thing in the stage
>>321823070
This map's coming out today? Sweet Squidmas.
How do you build affinity between you and your team members in XCX?
>>321831889
Its really good. I was a little scared when back in april we learned a lot about how it wasn't related to the original and wasn't too story heavy. Thing is, there's a lot of story there, but it in side content.
I don't remember that Lao mission but keep track of your skills. Equip them according to the situation (equip anti-humanoid for prone enemies, mechanical for skells, etc.) You're about to unlock skells, so there it will become more bearable for bosses.
Is Splatoon a good buy? Just got Mario Maker and Wooly for the holidays so Im wondering if I should get Splatoon when Im burnt out of these two
>>321833040
Have them in your party. Answer the soul voices and complete missions with them. Rotate them for basic missions. Elma and Lin are only required for story chapters, so you're guaranteed to reach 5 hearts pretty early in the game.
Haven't played it since February.
>>321833161
yes its great
>>321833161
Somewhat divisive. The core gameplay is solid and pretty fun, but some people aren't fans of the forced Animal Crossing-like schedule when it comes to the map rotation in online play. The single player has some unique music, maybe four hours or so of neat platforming and at least one challenging/fun boss, just know that the focus is primarily online multiplayer so don't expect a shitload of stuff to do outside of that.
>>321833161
Singleplayer is fun, but short and easy. It's a good way to get used to the controls, though.
Multiplayer is fantastic. It's as competitive as you want it to be, lots of customization, new content every now and then and just plainfun.
Also, the game has a very charming artstyle and localization. I like it a lot.
>>321833045
It's the one about Lao's team. There's a giant rock-faced primate-looking fucker with a shitload of health that keeps doing a jump attack and wiping everyone but Lin at the 1/3 hp mark, and Lin, being the potato-faced dipshit that she is, never revives team mates, and instead just unloads with her minigun until the timer runs out.
Level isn't the issue, I'm level 20 and the enemy is lvl17, it's just an issue of using the correct skills and figuring out his gimmick (breaking his head seems to drastically lower his defense, but I feel like there's more to it than that) and I'll have him beat.
>>321833161
Splatoon is a genuine delight. my only issue is, as of the last time I played, the lack of regionlock for online play. I was getting really sick of getting my shit pushed in by Japs with golden airbrushes and samurai helmets.
Love it. Played through 3d world, pikmin 3 and lotsa Mario kart with my gf- doing wooly world currently. enjoyed wwhd, mh3u, bayo1+2(not done) and played an ungodly amount of smash.
I'll get xenoblade after I finish chronicles on 3ds (still have to find a deal...)
Otherwise, contemplating hyrule warriors or splatoon. Can you coop those?
>>321834035
but youd just get your shit pushed in by americans (or europeans) with golden airbrushes and samurai helmets
aerospray isnt even that good anyways (but it is fun to play in turf wars)
>>321832702
stage is great, you suck
I bought the 3D world Wii U bundle for $250 as a birthday present for myself at the beginning of the year and since then I've gotten the following
-Smash
-MK8
-Hyrule Warriors
-DKTF (free from Club N)
-W101 (free from Club N)
-Splatoon
-Mario Maker
-Xenoblade X
-Bayonetta 1/2
I've been loving every second of my Wii U and even convinced two of my other friends to get one. I feel like I actually like video games again.
>>321834329
Aerospray was made for turf wars, huge point totals.
>>321834035
Breaking monsters limbs provides different drops and stop some of their attacks. Try to farm Irina pham. She is more of a healer than Potato, but weak as fuck. It will provide you with buffs and TP.
>>321834489
Everytime i boot Splatoon is the fucking skatepark. Shit gets old.

Check splatooniverse.com before booting so you know not to waste your time if it's stages you don't like
>>321834112
Hyrule Warriors yeah. Splatoon has a multiplayer mode but it's pretty bare
>>321826058
>got the game on Christmas

I'm only on chapter 4. Lin is my favorite team member.

xenoblade chronicles x
splatoon
if you wanna try something maybe outside of your comfort zone wonderful 101
>>321834112
Hyrule Warriors you can co-op, but one person is on the gamepad, and the graphical quality for both gamepad AND TV is noticeably lowered.
>>321835262
W101 is absolutely worth the purchase.
>>321834575
are you me
i basically skipped last gen after buying a 360, hating every game I bought and the console red ringing
bought a wii u out of snes and gamecube nostalgia on a whim last year and got sucked right back into the hobby
>>321835519
>>321835262
sell me on W101 friends
what makes it so good?
what games is it similar to?
>>321835816
think of everything that has ever existed
multiply that by a billion
that's the wonderful 101
>>321835816
>what makes it so good?
its really fun & unique & challenging with lots of content and unlockables and replay value with crazy scenarios
>what games is it similar to?
none in specific, but it's an experimental take on the character action genre
>>321819431
i'm convinced the wii u will be looked back on as a cult favourite.
so far the best game library of the gen.. but totally overlooked.
>>321835816
The gameplay, while it gets a rough start, is fluid and enjoyable. The story is just pure enjoyable, hammy fun, with a perfect escalation of force from running around with a couple dozen Wonders to work with, to all 101 of your Wonders being in Giant Fucking Robots while you, in your own giant robot, transform them into even giant-er robot fists to punch space ships.
To condense it into the simplest possible terms:
The Wonderful 101 is a game about PROTECTING THE FUCKING EARTH. It projects an atmosphere of pure heroism and adventure, and, the first half-hour of clunk aside, is something you will enjoy for the entire ride. It's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and delivers pure, uncut delight.
Finally, W101 schools every western game of the past two decades on how you design a motherfucking QTE.
The only game I'm really enjoying on it is xenoblade, though I'm really fucking liking that one. I prefer smash on my 3ds and the other noteworthy wii u games seem to have a lacking singleplayer/platformers I don't enjoy.
Not bad for the price I got it for in all.
>>321835816
Gameplay:
A really unique control scheme and combat system that is also deep as hell. Every enemy type has a specific set of weaknesses/method of beating forcing you to think your way through a little bit instead of the usual hack and slash doldrums.
Other:
Over the top in every way. Boss fights, cut scenes, characters, plot line all ridiculous. Power rangers satire on steroids.
What way did you guys input your shapes? I drew them with my finger quickly just because it was faster to do but I'm on the fence as to whether the stick is superior.
I really fucking need to be at home playing Splaton right now and instead I'm stuck at work for another 4 hours.
I haven't changed weapons in a while, I always use the slosher because it's fun I guess. What weapons should I try next? I never used a sniper weapon.
>>321836852
I used the stick during normal level play and used the touch screen during the cutscenes
I dunno why I guess I just like using both
>>321836181
Is the niche console in the age of mainstream videogames. Is not my fave Nintendo console by far, but at least has preserved that old school feeling mostly intact (besides extremely little games and toys with NFC).

>tfw off in 3 hours and off tomorrow
>>321819431
Bought an Xbone in November as a present for gf because she loved playing GoW on 360. 2, 3, 4 backwards compat literally would not run after a couple of weeks. Well known bug etc. Went round and round with Microsoft support, horrible and unhelpful. Sat collecting dust (got Shadow of Mordor for me, she wasn't into it).
Finally decided to trade it for a Wii U MK8 bundle + Woolly World. She's addicted to both and we've been having a blast. Should never have listened to the "dead system no games" meme.
For a couple of working professionals who want to play a couple of hours after work or on Friday/Saturday...the system is fantastic. Just pure, buttery smooth fun.
>>321837127
Woolly World seems like the ultimate bf/gf game
>>321835816
Without getting into the specifics of controls and story, I can relate a very simple anecdote:
There was a point in this game where I found myself holding the controller at arms length away from myself, pressed into the back of my seat, completely tense, going "Whoa..."
From that point on, for the rest of the entire game, that "Woah" underwent a slow but sure increase in volume that never fucking slowed or stopped, until the end of the game, where I was screaming "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The key word is Escalation.
>>321836963
Try the longest ranger sniper (I forget the name). I thought it was fun for a while, but I dislike the "kills only" aspect of sniping and would rather be painting up the map to actually win the game.
I'm partial to the blaster weapons and sometimes the gatling gun. I'd try them all at least a couple times; one of the things I really liked about splatoon was how differentiated the playstyles of the different weapon types are.
Yessss, playing splatoon all the time as usual
>>321821126
pikman
>>321836979
I like your style, I'm going to try this.
I liked the speed of the fing but sometimes it was hard to get the size right or get my units through doorways.
After enabling piracy my enjoyment of it went up greatly.
Currently playing Wooly World, Xenoblade and NSMBU.
Shit's pretty fun
Started playing my backlog of games from the Club Nintendo fiasco.
I'm really enjoying DKTF.
Got around to paying $2 to play Paper Mario for the first time on my Wii U. I'm really digging it. Probably playing this the most right now.
I tried starting W101. Not really interested in it but I'll give more time to see if my mood changes.
>>321837527
I know what you mean. Although I play very little Turf Wars and I love Splat Zones and Rainmaker the most. In those cases, painiting isn't as crucial.
Are you talking about the E-liter 3K?
May try a sniper or the Splash-o-matic which looks cool despite the lack of damage.
Does the WiiU have any cool games that missed out on being localized like Zangeki no Reginleiv on the Wii did?
>>321838037
The Yakuza 1/2 collection, I guess.
>>321838037
Yakuza 1 + 2 HD Collection (I've heard it's not a good port)
Dragon Quest X
Drum game
Kamen Rider game
???
I'm really liking the wii u. Now that xenoblade is out it feels like it has a really well rounded set of games; it was lacking on the rpg front for me before. Once #FE comes out I'll be damn satisfied.
>>321839132
>Nintendo splatoon type innovation on racing genre when
I guess mario kart is good but I really want this.
>>321819431
I've been playing the new map in Splatoon
>>321839298
>tfw excitebots 2 never ever
>>321819431
Was playing Wooly World last night. Really enjoying it, but finding the stamp bits is bullshit.
Something about this track really got me into the level. Really enjoyed the feel of it

>#FE
So many threads about how it didn't sell well and I'm over here like "don't give a fuck, still going to buy it and will likely enjoy it."
>>321839940
Yeah, bad sales shouldn't stop you from enjoying a game you enjoy, it's how it is for me and Codename STEAM, but I can see why people would be pissed off at that game. Not really surprised that it's underperformed due to all the drama that surrounded it.
>>321839497
>>321839665
WW's soundtrack is incredible

>>321838892
The WiiU had a Kamen Rider game?
Link?
>>321840638
>Wooly World
>Xenoblade
>Splatoon
It was a good year for Nintendo soundtracks
90 hours into XCX and nearing the final chapter.
My feelings about that game differ every time I boot it up but its mostly positive.

Not as good as Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
I never play anything on it anymore except for Mario Maker. It's not a bad system, but the library isn't exactly good.
>>321841206
A note of that youtube video is they have chosen to rip the feed directly from the gamepad which means it's missing some post-processing effects.
>>321841252
Fuck off.
>>321819431
Not at all senpai
>>321841570
Hey, OP asked and I answered.Erasing levels to reupload them in order was one of the most heart-breaking gaming experiences in recent memory.
Until Star Fox Zero comes out, the Wii U will be the Smash Machine.
>>321841863
>still 4 months
fuck i need it
>>321822028
Why is Sunshine listed under 2015?
amzn com/w/3LTZGD30C0WMX
What other Wii and Wii U games should I add to me list /v/?
I didn't have a Wii Last gen and I'm enjoying working my way through the gems it has.
>>321842027
get Fluidity on Wii (it's a download game). but avoid the 3DS sequel it ruined everything
>>321837901
Club Nintendo fiasco?
>>321842848
Wii Mini codes were easy to guess, resulting in tons of easy coins.
Never used the exploit myself.
You guys gonna get TP HD? I'm undecided
>>321844517
Depends on how they update it but right now I plan to since TP is one of my favourite Zeldas.
>>321819431
Yes, I like my dedicated Mario Kart machine
its literally the only game worth playing
>>321819431
Anyone think the Wii U will be hoghly sought after in 5-10 years? Kinda like the Dreamcast i guess.
Creative games, smooth interface, overlooked and crowded out by Xbone/PS4. I feel like they are going to hold their value pretty well on the second hand market in a few years.
Am i nuts?
>>321845672
It's possible. Also take into account that only 15 million Wii U's have been made (and 4 million still waiting to be sold)
>>321823167
Calm down, autismo.
IMPORTANT QUESTION:
Is Meta Knight in the Wii U Kirby game?
>>321845951
He's an unlockable figurine
Dedede too
>>321845826
How does that compare to the Gamecube sales?
It seems like history looks back on that system quite favorably, but when I was a kid all my friends had PS2 or Xbox, i don't think I knew anyone who had a Gamecube. Maybe the same will happen with the Wii U
>>321845672
I don't think so. Unlike the Dreamcast, Nintendo will make a follow up to the Wii U, which could be backwards compatible. I also feel like patches and Amiibos will negatively influence the Wii U's value in the long term.
>>321846081
Gamecube sold a lot more, like 22 million. And had more variety in the catalog.
>>321846070
So like a smash bros trophy?
Would you recommend Yoshi's Wooly World or Rainbow Curse?
I LOVED canvus curse on the DS, only yoshi game I remember is the one on the 64 that haunts my dreams for whatever reason
>>321846419
if you loved canvas curse then theres no reason to pass up rainbow curse, though i should mention that i didnt like rainbow curse quite as much as canvas curse it is still excellent
>>321846081
I dunno, Wii U actually has a quality first party library unlike the Gamecube
>>321846537
I see what you did there, you flipped the systems on purpose. Clever boy.New Metroid game when?
>>321846531
Honestly it was a long time ago since I played Canvus Curse.
Was there a Meta Knight boss battle in it?
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
