Nintendo Super Thread of General Discussion

So far I've stayed away from Super Mario 3D World videos but I stumbled upon this playthrough earlier and holy hell I need this game. But I also want to finish other stuff first. Damn it!

I'm guessing digital distribution? Speaking of which, the Wii U/3DS are consoles I'd definitely want to go DD only with, but with Nintendo's ID being tied to one system, I wouldn't want to lose out if my system went toast.

For controllers lol ? Hopefully they are working towards a fix with the ID thing.
 
Hmm, Best Buy has 5X points for purchases in store today and tomorrow. Perhaps since Nintendo games never drop in price I might as well buy a few anyways and get some points back.

Eternal Darkness HD ?
Rumor mill

It seems Nintendo has 3 years to use Eternal Darkness or risk losing the Trademark


Can only hope, I have not played the original game and after looking it up looks very interesting.

if you have a gamecube compatable wii I would pick it up. visually dated by todays standard but the gameplay and story have held up just fine.

Thinking my Wii U is defective. I was playing Super Mario 3D World, and the screen randomly turned pink and very pixelated. The console started to get very loud, too. I turned it off and unplugged everything to the same results. Does anyone have an idea as to what this might be? The gamepad's screen is fine, fyi.

Haven't heard of it I would call Nintendo.
 
That sucks but yea I'd guess GPU related.


Ended up getting Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker. Bonus purchase of the Alien Anthology on Blu-ray for only $18.

Wow, weird. The screen is fine now. There must have been a bad connection with one of the wires? Thank God too because I am on the last world of Super Mario 3D World.

If your HDMI cable isn't connected securely it can give off some weird images on screen.

As for your loud Wii U, I have no idea. That doesn't sound good.

would still contact Nintendo if I was you, pixelated screen and the fans getting loud does not sound promising
 
Thanks for the responses, guys. I am hoping it was just a weird connection. The system is not warm at all but I have been playing it a lot lately so maybe it's that. I hope, at least.

And Jay, I see what you did there. Man, this game is awesome. And to think that Wind Waker HD is next on my list is amazing.
 
Added Splinter Cell Black List, sucker for video games in cheap tins lol

Actually heard that game is quite good, amigaengine.

The Wonderful 101 is officially $30, guys. Worth that price!

Also, Pikmin 3 is probably my second favorite Wii U game, so any one that just got a Wii U might want to look into the game.

picked up W101 and quickly had my ass handed to me :eek:, just as I had expected from reading on mii verse. will revisit after i complete SM3DW.

one of the few who enjoy splinter cell series more than MGS. find the story put together slightly better lol
