Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Don't have a WiiU yet, and still not sold on the Amiibos, but that Little Mac figure will be mine.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Will buy all. Period.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

FYI -

Smash Bros comes out November 21st.

Captain Toad comes out December 5th.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Toad's MSRP is $39.99. No Amiibo support until 2015 when the Toad figure comes out.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

yay, smash bros! cant wait

Typical for Nintendo. 1 step forward, 2 steps back :(

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

:(

That's disappointing. I read an article yesterday saying that the GCN controller would be compatible with other titles and got excited.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I pulled the trigger last night and got the Wii U bundle with Super Mario 3D world since I had $125 in an eGift Card from Dell about to expire. I'm really excited. :)

Can anyone tell me what the Amiibos do exactly? I'm usually a sucker for stuff like this, especially if it's Nintendo related, but I don't know anything about Skylanders (which I guess is similar) so I'm not really sure what they do or what the point of them are.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

As a whole, we don't really know. Nintendo has been reluctant to reveal much of anything.

All we know at the moment is how they'll work for Super Smash Bros., where you're basically training a sparring partner, and I think it saves your special moves so you can be up and running on a friend's console with a quick tap.

Because of the very limited amount of information that can be saved to a figure like this (depending on the chip, often just 1K or 2K), it's also possible that you can tap, say, a Yoshi figure in multiple games and they'll correctly recognize it as Yoshi, but only one of those games will be able to use two-way saving and all the bells and whistles.

The Bayonetta 2 demo is up on the eShop now.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Circle of the Moon and the rest of the GBA Castlevanias. NICE!

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Bayo 2 is getting insanely positive reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii-u/bayonetta-2

Polygon looks like the only sub-9 review of the major sites so far, which sounds about right... Might be a Game of the Year contender! Gamespot gave it their first 10/10 in four years (and only their 8th ever perfect score).

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Yes, and the Polygon disparity reflects only the reviewer's PC agenda. Read it in full to find out that Mr. Arthur Gies is a truly sensitive and fair-minded individual.

The game - viewed properly as a source of entertainment and not a political statement - sounds incredible.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

I saw a few videos for Bayonetta 2 last night and it looks incredible.

I'll pick up the first one soon, but the second one looks to be a day one purchase.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

No need! If you get Bayonetta 2 early on, you're getting the first game too (at no additional cost). They're packaged together, and the original Bayonetta has been spiffed up for the Wii U.

This month's Club Nintendo rewards:

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

That's great news on Batonetta. I was going to wait for Christmas for it, but now I may have to jump in day 1.

Not much for Club Nintendo for me. Maybe Kid Icarus.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

That reminded me to preorder the DLC. The second half doesn't drop until May, but the two batches are $11.99 together as preorders rather than $7.99 a pop at launch.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

That's a pretty sweet bike.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

New Hyrule Warriors DLC Drops today as well.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

Wow, those do look pretty shitty. I didn't think it was possible to look cheaper than the Infinity figs. These look like Happy Meal toys.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 

What were you expecting for $13?

These are toys, meant to be played with.
