    Just grabbed Smash Brothers and the Link Amiibo, for later use in Hyrule Warriors.

    The Amiibo is filling me with an urge to shield bash things.

    man I wish there were some deals on actual Wii U games

    Now that I have the system I'm super pissed i missed the Mario Kart 8 deal where I could have gotten free Wind Waker HD if I had bought MK8 :(

    I find that the best bet is Target's Buy 2, Get 1 Free sales, coupled with Amazon price matches, assuming your Target isn't being a butt about it.

    Supposedly there's another one coming up in mid-December.

    Uggh, it looks like Club Nintendo is pretty terribly broken for me. Most eShop titles just aren't showing up at all, including everything on the Wii U.

    It will if you buy an eshop code.
    You can see that the publisher is listed as Namco Badai.

    I could see them hearing that ZombiU2 was done but would never release due to Ubi's uncertainty, and going "hell guys, send that over here and we'll publish it for you."

    Yeah apparently Ubisoft dropped/abandoned all of their trademarks for ZombiU except one which was renewed last year around this time. So... who knows!

    I wonder if they'll add amiibos as redeemable products on Club Nintendo?? I guess they kinda fall under peripherals, so maybe not.

    Keep an eye onBest Buy. They're pretty much the only retailer to put them on sale ever. Most chains clearanced out the white ones months before I owned a Wii U, but Best Buy got more in stock around Mario Kart 8 for a sale they had a month later.

    I guess I'll have to drag the Wii U out to the living room TV someday to get my Smash on in 1080p.

    One of these days I'm just gonna buy a spare AC Adapter for ease of use.

    Reasonable enough. Game was stated to still be on schedule last E3. They just announced it incredibly early since the Wii U's lineup at that point was... pretty bad.

    Which is probably a good thing, since that means more time to fit Awakening's cast into the game.

  • Maz-Maz- 飛べ Registered User regular
    Yeah, when they announced it it was pretty obvious that the game was probably still in pre-production since they didn't reveal any details whatsoever.

    I trust Atlus and Nintendo enough not to show us such high-profile vaporware. I imagine they just announced it well before they normally would because they needed to bolster the Wii U's list of games.

    I'm really not sure how interested I am in the game, seeing as the only Fire Emblem I played was Awakening, and the only SMT game I played was IV

    If anyone here is on the fence about that Hori Battle Pad

    It's rad

    I almost went to pick one up but decided that tomorrow would be more appropriate, because Best Buy is across town from where I was. How rad is it? I need to knoooooow.

    With the exception of the lack of analog triggers, it straight-up feels like a GC controller

    It's so nice

    I can finally play Xenoblade! And I bought Super Mario 64 from the Wii VC last night and had a great time with it

    I'm not seeing a listing for it on Best Buy though, and I know GameStop doesn't carry it either, you might have to go through Amazon

    I don't really see how they're "being a butt" by not letting you combine deals like that. It's not really what price matching is about. The point is to match the competitor's price so you won't go to them instead, but unless the competitor is also offering B2G1F in addition to it's lower prices, Target's probably already got the lower total price with their deal.

    I'm not really sure how I even feel about Revelations 2. It's an episodic game with my favorite RE character Claire, but their replacing her voice actress.

    Maybe it's for the best...

    The also acknowledged the vocal fanbase for Rebecca and Barry by... replacing both of them with Barry's Daughter The Medic! That's better, right?

    I do not have high hopes for REV2's story n' presentation, but the idea of one character with the weapons, one with the flashlight? Thas cool. I hope it works out.

    A shame. I would have definitely bought the game if it was available for a platform I own. Heck, I bought Revelations on the both the 3DS and Wii U by the time it was all said and done.

    I was actually thinking about doing this. I got about 70% through the main campaign on the 3ds. Is the Wii U version worth playing? Or maybe only worth it if I can get it really cheap?

    Both the 3DS and Wii U versions were on sale on the eShop about a month ago (Wii U was $15.99 and 3DS was $8.99) so hopefully they'll have another sale soon.

    When you say students, how old are they? I'd rather see the Amiibo going to some youngsters than a bunch of crusty old men online.
