Nintendo Super Thread of General Discussion

When I first saw the Zelda thing I was like meh, but after watching the full trailer I think it has potential. I liked that I saw a boss from OoT in there, would be awesome if they have all the boss battles in it.
 
Yeah I've never played any Warrior games, the Zelda one looks interesting though. Is there leveling, loot? I have no idea what to expect.

I'll be downloading NES Remix, looks fun.

Oh I'll definitely get Dr Luigi too, me and the girlfriend are pretty serious with Dr Mario.
 
Thats not the next Zelda game, thats just a spin off that Tecmo-Koei are making. Like a new Dynasty Warriors game with a Zelda skin on it.
I see. Too bad they couldn't get the Dark Souls devs to make them a game, but I suppose they're busy. Although, I think a second good choice would've been a Monster Hunter style Zelda game. It doesn't look bad, but it also kind of looks meh and the trailer is meant to get people excited. Of course, that's just my personal opinion on the Dynasty Warrior games for the most part.
 
Too bad I cannot join Club Nintendo, don`t have in my country and still we get this pin code cards that don`t can use.
 
Wii U "just getting started," says Sony PlayStation exec

The Wii U and its games were talked up recently on a Japanese talk-show – by Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida. The overall thrust of his musings was that "a slow start doesn't always mean poor performance in the long run,"reports GameSpot. Yoshida said that the Nintendo system was great for younger gamers and lots of fun. The Sony exec also claimed that he owns two Nintendo Wii U consoles and that "The latest Mario game is really good, too. I think the Wii U is just getting started."

GameSpot reckons that the Wii U has sold 3.91 million units in total so far. However there needs to be a large acceleration in sales to meet Nintendo's projection of 9 million sold by March 2014. In a report earlier this week, perhaps we have seen some sign of this acceleration, as Forbes reported that the Wii U saw a 340 per cent surge in sales last month, partly down to the release of 'Super Mario 3D World'. Coming up on Wii U next year there are other titles that Forbes think could provide Nintendo with a similar twist of the throttle; Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2.

Bought NES Remix last night. Didn't spend much time but seems pretty cool so far.

Can you offer some impressions after you get some time with it? I'm on the fence with it at present.
 
I'll pick up NES Remix when it drops to $10. Hopefully it does good though so they release SNES and 64 Remix.
 
My brother is buying my nephew a Wii U for xmas. I don't know what comes with it games wise but I was hoping you kind folks could list a few games that would be appropriate for a 10 year old.

He likes shooters but I refuse to buy him any where he kills human beings. I thought perhaps Bayonetta 2 but I guess that's not out yet.

Mario 3D World is awesome, Zelda WW HD is great as well. Those would be my top 2 picks.
 
If you get a Wii U and don't own Super Mario 3D World...

Maybe Pikmin.

@BOLD - The Wonderful 101 is an incredible substitution for that. Combat depth of Bayonetta crammed into a saturday morning cartoon full of ship battles, giant robot fights and super sized alien armadas hell bent on the destruction of Earth.

Get to playing.
 
Since it's not affecting development of the core series, I don't mind Hyrule Warriors, but the highlight of Zelda, for me is level design, progression and boss battles. The universe is not a biggie. I'd rather put a different, combat-heavy franchise on top of the Warriors gameplay, like Ghosts'n'Goblins.
Zelda like boss battles are appealing though.

lol I got a laugh out of this. Don't take that wrong, but just found it completely the opposite of what you normally hear. Expose children to violence but dear god anything sexualized KEEP THEM AWAY!!

More than likely the console came with the Mario/Luigi U set or Zelda Wind Waker. If he gets the Mario set I'd say Zelder would probably be good. If he gets the Zelda set then maybe sub the Mario U game for Super Mario 3D World. Other games not mentioned that may be appropriate:

Disney Infinity or Skylanders stuff - gets really expensive though I guess
Lego Marvel
Lego Batman
Epic Micky
Duck Tales

Thanks, I'll look into that.

Well, the kid is autistic and frequently asked for guns for presents so he can, and I quote "shoot a******s that piss me off" and recently a neighborhood kid called him a f** so he came to me and asked for a screwdriver so he could stab said kid.

So I told him "I don't give a sh!t that your parents let you play those games, they're off-limits when you're at my house".

Yeah I'm on world 6 right now, I can't recall the name but this stage in world 5 was sooo awesome. Galaxy 2 is still my favorite but this is a close second for my favorite D Mario game.
