    Quite possible you saw my pre-edit. I didn't quite understand the news either - I don't have a WiiU, just some folks I know were talking about it elsewhere, so I figured I'd spread the word.

    Hrrmm, weeks of plugging away at bars in destiny has left me in a vulnerable state--I'm debating picking up a wiiu, 3d world, donkey kong, and bayonetta, and paying for a good deal of it by getting rid of my ps3 and vita.

    Is the pro controller a must for more technical stuff like bayonetta?

    Does the wiiu need any kind of specific setup in orientation with the room, the tv, and where I'm sitting?

    Pro controller isn't a must, I've been playing with the gamepad and then switching to the classic controller pro (IT SUPPORTS THE CLASSIC CONTROLLER PRO!) when it's out of battery. Amazing game.

    The Pro controller has all the same inputs as the Game Pad and they feel about the same to me personally, it's just about how big and heavy the controller feels in your hands. Up to you on whether you can tolerate it or enjoy it more with one or the other. It's not a bad idea to have the Pro controller anyway though for good multiplayer times.

    Most Wii U games don't make use of the sensor bar, that's primarily a Wii thing. If you want to be able to play Wii games with the pointer, you will need to be able to put the sensor bar by your TV and the Wii U will need to be close enough for its cable, though there are third party wireless ones. Generally though it shouldn't be a problem.

    The pad has a decent range, you'll have no issue within the same room, but it can lose signal badly through walls. If you plan on playing via the pad in bed and it's on the other end of your house from the living room, it probably won't reach. Again, that depends on how you plan on playing the system and what's important to you.

    Yeah, the Pro Controller is just the Gamepad - a screen + fantastic battery life. It is really good at what it does, and I absolutely love mine, but its not necessary by any means. The Gamepad is a good, sturdy controller and is surprisingly comfortable to hold.

    You don't need any special set-up, though keep in mind that the WiiU Gamepad has a range of about ~30 feet from the WiiU, and has trouble going through walls or facing the opposite direction. Generally speaking, if you're in the same room, you're absolutely fine.

    Picked up Bayonettas, playing the first. It's very Platinum so far.

    Looking at the costume descriptions, it looks like the Link outfit is the only one with a gameplay change that isn't cosmetic. The description sounds like the fighting style is somewhat based on Metal Gear Rising's parry system.

    Metal Gear Rising's style is based on Bayonetta's.

    You bought it on release day, that's the important thing and the best you could have done to support Nintendo for their incredible faith in Platinum.

    Get your fill of Hyrule Warriors because once you start Bayonetta 1 & 2, if the gameplay and characters click with you, you won't remember other games exist for a good while

    It basically gives you the Moon accessory right from the start, I think

    It's very powerful but the timing is somewhat more strict than Revengeance

    I picked up Bayonetta 2 today as well! It's kind of a funny story actually . . . I preordered it and when I got there, they told me I ordered 2 copies. I have no idea how but that's what the order said. Anyway, JUST as the clerk says that, another lady walks up and asks if she can get a copy of the game! They had already said they didn't have any spare copies outside of preorders . . . so the clerk let her have "my" extra. :) So I totally accidentally made 2 release day sales for the game! :biggrin: Also I'm really happy to see other ladies buying the game.

    AND I got my shiny Gengar code too. So it was a very worthwhile trip indeed.

    I'm having a hard time figuring out why the original Wii Remote doesn't work on Smash. One of mine isn't Plus but I had assumed that would be fine given all the controller options they were offering.

    According to the Smash Bros website, you can use non Plus remotes.

    You can play by holding it sideways. You can use a normal Wii Remote as well.

    Hmm. I dunno. Sometimes I feel like certain discs make a lot of noise compared to the console's regular operation (especially Xenoblade). I've learned to not pay it too much mind until everything stops working.

    Which hasn't happened yet.

    With the necessity external hds for digital purchases, it's like the wii u is secretly the same price or more expensive than the big boy consoles.

    I still don't have an external on my 32 gig machine. I don't have too many digital purchases. I've got quite a few smaller games like some Zen Pinball tables, Nano Assault, Duck Tales, Trine 2, D&D Mystara, some VC games, some demos...I've also got Wii Fit U on there. I own digital Game & Wario but haven't installed it because that was finally one game I didn't have room for, but it's not like I'm worried about not having it on there, I can download it any time.

    I'm enjoying Bayo 1. The combat is very good, and it's amusing to see things that either reference older Kamiya games (one move is basically Stinger, Bullet Climax and another move in the shop are a lot like moves Sylvia had in Viewtiful Joe 2), or would later be referenced by later Kamiya games (the sword-draw attack, the mixing system, Bayonetta's dodge limit)

    But if there's one thing I don't like, it's the QTEs. Not their presence, but how easy it is to fail them, combined with the penalty for doing so. Instant death is very harsh in a game where continuing tanks your score. And having to start the chapter over if you decline continuing is kind of annoying. I guess I got used to The Wonderful 101, wherein QTEs are more obvious when they show up, only do some damage when you fail, and are funny to fail. That, and W101 will only boot you back to start of chapter on boss battle chapters.

    And it looks like Bayo 2 has the exact same QTE policy, so I guess that's something I'll have to get used to.

    I've posted this in the Bayonetta 2 thread in the past, but I wouldn't be glad about the physical copy if the loading times are anything like W101:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyxhtJlv0yk

    It isn't something that will really bother you if you're playing through the game casually, but if you're trying to go for pure platinum ranks, screw up a mission and have to restart it will quickly become annoying. Something like a Kakhoo-Regah (the W101 equivalent of an Alfheim) incurs a load time when you enter, and if you choose not to retry then you have another load while you exit (and exiting to retry doesn't count against your rank).
