And yet we worship the ground Reggie walks on for some reason...

What's replacing Club Nintendo anyway? Did they announce that yet?

Adam Tyner

Nothing beyond announcing there'll be something before the end of the year. I bet we'll see it in the next month or two.

Thanks for the heads up. But now I hate myself for
a) buying from gamestop
b) for full price
c) and paying shipping

I just saw the trailer for "Year Walk". Looks like a fun game to play on Halloween

Free shipping on orders over $25 with code "saver"

I believe that code is for in-stock merchandise only. I couldn't spend $100+ on this, so I did a little Google search and found a place called Bull Moose. They were offering this for $82.97, free shipping and (for me) no sales tax. Not too familiar with the site/store, but I hope they can deliver.

Question:

There's a bundle that contains Super Mario Bros U and Super Luigi Bros U for $60.

But why the hell are both those games $60 individually? I know Nintendo rarely lowers prices but damn, that's just ridiculous.

Adam Tyner

New Super Luigi U was $20 digitally and $30 at retail. It's out of print, so you're probably seeing reseller prices. I wonder if it's something similar with NSMBU...just old copies floating around at silly prices. None of the new copies on Amazon seem to be sold by Amazon themselves. Other retailers do seem to be stocking NSMBU individually, so maybe Nintendo is just letting copies already in the wild sit there until they're gone. They're weird, not that you need me to tell you that.

I think he's talking about the game that was bundled with the system for awhile there. It was never sold in stores, so there are fewer copies out there at higher prices.

Adam Tyner

I thought it did get a retail release somewhat recently, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Edit - apparently the retail release is coming on October 16th. If it's in a blue case, it's from the 2013 bundle. If it's in a red case, it's the retail release.

Adam Tyner

Star Fox Zero is being delayed till early next year, which -- judging from the less-than-enthusiastic reception thus far -- would seem to be a good thing.

bluetoast

Oh, didn't realize the blue one was bundled with the console, or that a separate version is coming out. Considering getting it in the near future.

I got NES Remix Pack the other day, really enjoying the challenges.

Adam Tyner

Some eShop data -- in a couple places, even -- is pointing towards a high-def remaster of Twilight Princess. (Maybe it's part of a 30th anniversary thing for next year, if you go by when Legend of Zelda came out in Japan?)

Wooly World is pretty fun. I'm having a good time exploring the levels.

Is this web page giving anyone problems? I'm trying to buy games on Virtual Console via nintendo.com, but it just keeps on loading and loading.

EDIT: The problem was Adblock Plus. I disabled it and the page loads.

I just bought a Wii U the other day. Maybe not the smartest decision since there are very few Wii U games that interest me and with the NX looming, but I do really like the system itself. Being able to play Super Metroid on the controller is pretty damn awesome. The only thing that could have made it better is if the controller actually doubled as a full fledged portable, but it sounds like that is in the cards for the NX.

The Questyen

I'm about halfway through World 4 and yeah it's great. The special levels are brutal. I'm going to wait to attempt beating them until I'm done with the game. I got my ass handed to me like 50 times on the first one.

EinCB

So is Woolly World worth the purchase? It seems like gaming critics think it's okay, while non-critics love it.

The Questyen

Nintendo platformers have fallen out of popularity with critics for awhile now. Yoshi's Wooly World, New Super Mario Bros U/New Super Luigi U, Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker and Super Mario 3D World are all fantastic games that except for 3D World don't get nowhere near the acclaim that they deserve.

Bayonetta 2 is $35 at GameStop

http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u/games/...yKKzjL6Byw1esw

I was going to submit a price match at Amazon, but it looks like they don't even carry it?

Adam Tyner

Yeah, it's listed at Amazon, but all the sellers are third-party.

EinCB

A new membership club called "My Nintendo" will allow people to earn monetary and physical rewards simply by purchasing, and now playing, their games. The club will launch in March 2016.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash sounds like kind of a disaster.

There's only one stadium, and the online options are so limited that you can't even play with friends.

bippitty

And from what I've seen there's no progression aside from some unlockables. No career. It looks likely that I will not get any of the Wii U games released in 2015. My latest title is Bayonetta 2.
