Go to any nerd convention and all your problems are solved! I try to get to at least one a year.
The Nintendo Thread

I finished all the puzzles, so I was glad to see the new one. Strange choice, but whatever.
As for the hats, I've got them all except the Pink yoshi hat, and I've cleared the room it's supposed to be in MULTIPLE times. Maybe I'm using a bum list…?
-
The original NES Ninja Gaiden was supposed to be available on the North American eShop both last week and then supposedly postponed to this week.
It is not.
I've been waiting for it for well over a month now. There's not even any sort of announcement, or explanation, or revised release date, or anything.
I'm quite pissed off. Seriously, Nintendo of America. Get your shit together.
-
really? It's on the UK e-shop. Then again it looks like we got a few things that you guys dont have yet on the e-shop.
You guys get Wii U, It's launch titles, Paper Mario and just about everything else earlier I guess.
-
anyone get fallbox then? i did and i'm finding it so much harder than the original
-

Yep. Both Japan and Europe are WAAAAY ahead of North America in the Virtual Console releases. It's incredibly frustrating. Instead we more often get crap like this week's "Monster Shooter."

Guess what ELSE the NA eShop was supposed to get around this time, but hasn't yet?
-

Wait, what the hell is fallbox? Is that the European name for Crashmo?
I believe that one arrives in the US on the 22nd.
-
Yeah Fallbox is Crashmo. Dunno why they changed the name lol. So who is actually getting a Wii U? Its out in a few days over there right? 2 weeks today for us. Gonna have to avoid this topic so I can get my own opinions on the launch games XD
And then go back on every page to find the friend names lol
Edit: huh. Never heard this elsewhere. Apparently there was a Nintendo of Europe event in Spain that revealed the 3DS lineup for 2013
Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate
Fire Emblem Awakening
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Castlevania
Project X Zone
Bravely Default
Adventure Time
Code of Princess
EX Troopers
Time Travellers
Phoenix Wright X Professor Layton
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Phoenix Wright 5so sounds like the EU is at least getting these games. So can't see them not doing for America too.
-
Any EU dates comfirmed for Luigi's Mansion and Fire Emblem yet?
Can't wait for those.As much as i love a new console, i'm not planning on getting the WIIU at launch
My backlog is just way to large, to justify a purchase.
And so far there haven't been any titles i really want. Will get it ASAP when a new Zelda/Smash or Xenoblade hits the console. -
No dates yet. I'm assuming both are Q1. Our local Asda has had Luigi's Mansion advertised for pre-order for most of the year along with Black Ops etc. Kinda surprising they have that up yet aren't doing pre-orders for the Wii U
Anywho. New Nintendo Official Magazine came out, looking nice. They reviewed most of the launch titles. Glad to see that ZombiU is actually really good. Although Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion wasn't received well :(
-
Yeah i really like the new design of the magazine. I know i'm getting zombiU, Mario U and Nintendoland and i may get tekken. I havn't played a tekken in ages but it's looking really good on there
-
Yeah I wanted Tekken too. Shopto were doing a bundle for the Wii U + ZombiU + Mass Effect 3 + Tekken which pretty much came out that you were getting Mass Effect and Tekken for about £20 each. Which isn't so bad. But they said I would lose my pre-order for the Wii U and said would take 2 weeks to get instead of on release.
-
Not worth it then. I may get it for christmas or love film it. Speaking of shopto i got an e-mail today saying they will 100% have my wii u to me by Nov 30th as they have enough stock to cover all the pre-orders. Yay!
-
2 days until Wii U release..hope i don't have to wait long (im on the Gamestop Wii U waiting list)

Are you on waiting list?
-
2 days left.. luckily i preordered on the first day to get mine.
i heard the TV app on the system got delayed though -
My GameStop still hasn't decided if it's doing the midnight release, so… if it does I'll be in line tomorrow at 1PM, if it doesn't I'll be in line this time tomorrow.

Yeah I got that too. And they said that they'll start processing it next week. (23rd) if their processing is like how they did it with Resi 6 then could see it dispatced on Monday to arrive on the Tuesday/Wednesday. Which would be pretty awesome.
@KaizokuJinbei You are likely getting confused. America is getting the Wii U earlier than the rest of the world. UK and Europe release is November 30th

I forgot how quick shopto are. Awesome :D. I need to try and finish halo anniversary and assassins creed rev by then (i'm a year behind. Leave me alone :P)
-
Oh Gamespot, it's becoming a yearly thing to have stupid people review Nintendo games 'waaaah! I cant play Zelda so it's a bad broken game!' = pretty much everyone else disagrees. 'Waaah! This survival Horror game doesn't allow me to run around and shoot everything. It requires me to conserve ammo and use melee weapons instead!'
Seriously. I'm trying to think of what they were expecting from Zombiu. I'm assuming the COD Zombies mode or Resi 6.
-
Better wait for some more reviews' to drop in then.. I don't trust the Nintendopower scores either.
They gave Sonic & Sega racing transformed, a 6 out of 10. And it's WAY better than that.
Personally i always try to wait a few days after a game is released and check the metacritic scores. -
I seen various extremes. NOM gave it 92%. Edge gave it 7/10 and Gamespot gave it 4.5/10. I'm thinking high 7, mid 8 it'll end up on.
-
Whelp my GameStop isn't having a midnight release. Guess I'm stalking the store before opening hours tomorrow lol
-
I can't believe the next generation of consoles starts in like 4 hours. Goosebumps, man. My body is beyond ready.
A pity I won't be able to sit down and play mine until next thursday because of finals, but still~~
-
16 more hours for me since im not making it to the midnight release but i have to wait until tuesday until i get my new tv
-

Ah yeah that's right I forgot I'm not used to getting things first.
-
So… I've been playing for an hour now. It's fuckin' awesome. I've only played Nintendoland so far, but it's great and the graphics look sweet as well. So far the Metroid and Zelda mini-games are my favorite.
-
so what do people think of wii U then? Or more importantly, ZombiU?
-
i just played rayman legends demo at gamestop and i loved it.
i might buy it when the price drops
-
got my system..no lines since everyone must have got theirs at Midnight.
not tried it yet..but i cant wait to do so -
Been playing Nintendo Land. Only played the captain falcon and ninja attractions so far, but I've had a ton of fun with it. CF one I must've played for 2-3 hours straight, and I still haven't gotten past area 9
Nintendo Network ID is Aaronrules380, just like my username here -

That doesn't sound very good at all. Wonder which one of you will defend this move.
Can I Log Into My Nintendo Network Account on a Different Console?
Answer:-No, you cannot. A Nintendo Network Account can only be used on the console where it was created. In the future, you will be able to use your Nintendo Network Account with future Nintendo consoles and other devices, such as PC's.
-Currently, the Wii U supports up to 12 individual Nintendo Network ID's per console, which enables each member of the family to have his or her own unique identity on the system.
I'm just not feeling it with the Wii-U. It could be my decreasingly lack of interest in gaming, or the fact that the console isn't even more powerful than the HD twins going by several reports on the Web. Sure, it has potential, but I'm just not hyped for this one. If I end up buying it, it'll probably be a year from now, and by then I'll be in college hopefully, and I won't even have that much time to play it.
-
I am absolutely in love with this machine instantly.
Miiverse is pretty impressive so far. Had lots of lagless call of duty and Tekken matches as well.
The universal remote is a function I did not even realize I wanted to so badly.

Isn't this how the PS3 works? I'm pretty sure I had to create a new account when I got a new system.
-
I find it hilarious how the first post I saw when going onto miiverse was a penis drawing. The internet will really never fail me

Uh … I guess it depends on the college you go to, but my experience was the opposite. Party games like Mario Kart, Smash Bros., and now stuff like Nintendoland ... college is that one time in life in which you play the hell out of those games.
It's after college that you have to worry about not having time for games.
-
Depends on how your college works really. I only have time for gaming sessions longer than an hour Thursday and Fridays after classes. Though admittedly I'm horrible at managing time.

Got my preordered Wii U.
You know, I've now owned and played all six of the main Nintendo consoles. Of those six, I can remember the days I got the N64, the Gamecube, and the Wii, and all those times I can remember being positively giddy with excitement at having and playing on a new console. And, of course, I got my Wii U today, but I have to confess that when I picked it up from Gamestop, I really wasn't feeling that same magic. Maybe it's because this is the first time I've preordered a console and I knew I was going to get it, or maybe it's because the only Wii U game I'm interested in, New Super Mario Bros. U (which I also bought today), I'm kind of cyncial towards, since I think it's just going to be a rehash of the other New Super Mario Bros. games. Or maybe I've just lost of my enthusiasm for video games. But whatever the reason, I just didn't feel it this time around.
Now, that being said, I am experiencing some of that magic now that I actually am using the console. Admittedly, I still haven't done much. Really, I just did all the procedures to set up the console and that's it. But I really like the Game Pad and all the little perks the system offers. I'll try to get around to NSMBU tomorrow (though I still need to do all the system updates) and hopefully it'll provide for a fun experience.
Oh, and I played a demo of Rayman Legends in Gamestop. That game is going to kick all kinds of ass.
Damn, I desperately need to get an HDMI compatable TV.
-
It's 2012 and you don't have an HD TV? Come on Nobody. I know the times are tough and shit but once you go HD you'll never go back.
-
My HD TV only has one connector :( I just hope that the Wii U doesn't have some special end so I can just unplug the PS3 when I need to.
-
As far as I know it's a normal HDMI
-

I'll second this, until a couple of years ago I didn't know what I was missing out on.
After I got my 22 inch I was a believer in the difference HD makes.
I never knew Oblivion looked so beautiful,or so ugly! -
So if the console breaks or gets stolen, you can't download your Nintendo ID for that console on a friend's Wii U? Backwards ass bullshit, people.
I don't know about the PS3 having that or not but on the 360 you can Recover/download your gamertag on separate consoles so you won't lose anything if your console breaks. Also has cloud storage now, but I think the Wii U has that… right?
-
Its kinda a problem if the console breaks (although never had a Nintendo console break.) I think I'm more worried in case they do something like an updated console or an awesome special edition. I'm sure there'll be a way to do it if you contacted Customer Services and explained what's happened. If it breaks, sent it to Nintendo and they'll fix, if it's worse, no doubt they'll have a loop hole in place to cut around it.
-
I'm pretty sure they said that an update later on will allow transfers to other wii u's, Pc's and maybe 3ds'
-
So apparently somebody managed to hack into the Miiverse and found details of unannounced games.
Sounds like it might be time to Touch some Fuzzies, and get Dizzy once more.

I saw something about that on IGN. I'm taking it with a grain of salt tho. (Yoshi land doesn't sound so bad tho)

Saw this earlier and got a great kick out of it. Suicide listed above Pokemon? Is Pokemon crossing over with Persona next?
-
Yoshi's Story was great, I'm up for more Yoshi goodness. Just let the same creative team as the guys who did Kirby's Epic Yarn do it, and everything will end up whimsical and wonderful.
-
Any word on a genuinely new Zelda? And no not a rehash of an old one, I 'm talking new. I'm not bothering with a wii u for a long time if at all since my 3ds has yet to realise it's potential. Would it be that hard for them to do a 3ds version of skyward sword?
