How prevalent and annoying that actually is? No idea. But assuming it's mildly annoying or worse, I'd only pay ~$30 for it at most.

Yeah, I have Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper and I remember that being a big complaint about that port. While it's noticeable visually, I don't remember it ever affecting the gameplay. I don't think I ever got hit by an enemy I didn't see. It was more along the lines of I cleared an area, turned around and there were about 5-10 stragglers I'd missed because they didn't load in time.

And I thought I heard they had improved it from that release for this game. Though I wont know until I play it.

If you do get it (and/or JCU does) and it's not really an issue that is noticeable at all, feel free to chime it. It would certainly impact the price point I'd pick the game up for. JCU's ~$25 price he could get the game at I'd absolutely pick it up for. I spend more on a lunch/dinner than that easy, so for a game it's not really a problem.

That's why I didn't buy Destiny. ;)

With Verizon DSL it will take until tomorrow to download 8 gigs of the game. Verizon blows worse than a Vietnamese hooker.

Touché

I bought Hyrule Warriors today, great game!

I've never played a Warriors game longer than 20 minutes, so I don't know how this compares. But this is a lot of fun. The objectives change frequently, so you're always running around the map. There are times when you have multiple objectives and having to decide between them is exciting.

The graphics are nice - on par with the X360, not as nice as Mario 3D World or Mario Kart. Besides your main weapon, you can have a few "subweapons", like a boomerangs, bombs, and arrows, which you can use anytime. Fighting the enemies (not the grunts) takes a bit of effort. You can Z-target and you will have to dodge their attacks and catch them when they're open.

The game seems to have a lot of content. All of the modes seem to be fairly involved. You have the main story mode, Legendary. There's a challenge mode, adventure mode, and free (which I guess lets you replay the levels out of the story mode). You collect items from enemies which you can use to create items to enhance your character. You can also upgrade your weapon. So in all, I think this game has some meat on its bones.

But again, I just find it fun. The hack and slash hasn't gotten boring yet, and there are tons of combos. If anyone just likes action games or the Warriors games, I'd recommend it.

Oh, and finally, one Zelda first, spoken dialogue!!

I've played about 4 hours and have gone through 6 levels. I have not had that problem yet. And only once have I seen enemies just spawn in front of me. For the most part, enemies run into the area you're in, seemingly spawning some distance away, which I thought was cool.

Hey Nintendo.. make cartoon Link a downloadable dlc character skin and I'll buy a Wii U! for realsies!

Well excuuuuuuuse me princess. hah

Two levels in and there hasn't been an instance where phantom enemies attack Link or whomever. It's so easy I think I need to increase the difficulty.

Clearly this title is for Zelda enthusiasts as non-enthusiasts won't get many of the references to the series and there are plenty. Content looks to be stacked with plenty of things to unlock and craft. If a future traditional Zelda game looked as good as this does I'd be pleased. It's gritty yet refined at the same time.

Can anyone else with a Wii U log into the original Wii shop in Wii mode on their system? I've been trying for the last two days, but can't. I keep getting an error saying it can't find the server. I was wanting to get the Contra and Castlevania Rebirth games.

Error Code: 052030

Nintendo better give me my money back on those points I bought.

According to their website they are doing quite a bit of maintenance this weekend:

And right now I can get on the Wii Shop channel with no issues.

I went to their site, but didn't see that, thanks. I'll give it another try later. There's some pretty good stuff in the wii shop.

Oh boy! That sounds great!

Seriously though, I would buy multiple versions of Cartoon Link if I could. It's what all true spergs strive for.

I am still pissy Hyrule Warriors does not have online co-op when Warriors Orochi 3 on Wii U does.

They may add it in later. From the looks of things there plan is to keep adding content as time goes on.

Also there's a slew of deals this week:

Mario and Luigi bundle is on ebay for $259 again:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301333570670

The New Super Mario 3D World + Nintendo Land Bundle and Remaining Mario and Luigi Bundles are $274 at Best Buy:

OK I figured out the wii store problem. Apparently the wii doesn't like encrypted wireless networks. I had to go into my network settings and shut off the wpa-psk encryption.

That's odd. I use WPA2-PSK and it works just fine.

So there was a big firmware update last night, which could explain some of the networking issues.

So we have Folders now.

Hopefully the update won't cause me any issues. I've had more problems with this system than any other game system I've ever owned. So I could certainly deal with "missing out" on one of them.

My Wii doesn't like my router; it constantly loses connection over wifi. Had to buy a separate Ethernet adaptor to get it to work properly.

It's absolute madness you STILL need to buy one for the Wii U. Is there a valid reason out there for that other than them being money-grabbing? Because I can't think of one. :/

I have noticed that the Wii U does also get bad connection, I get errors in the store all the time. I wonder why. It doesn't happen on Steam or PSN.

Am I the only one who's not had networking issues with my Wii/WiiU/DS/3DS?

I still had to disable encryption after the update. I also got instructions on how to do so from Nintendo's site. So the Wii not being compatible with wpa-psk comes from them not from me.

It definitely works.

Besides usual maintenance my Wii/U/3DS never had issues connecting to the net with the exception being on launch weekend of the Wii U. Netflix would not work so I went in and adjusted the MTU value. If only my X1 was this reliable when connecting to my network.

I had an issue where my netflix an youtube on the wii u kept telling me they needed to update, then failing the update. Was an annoying issue, but I was only checking to ensure they worked and what they looked like so thought nothing of it.
Then the e shop started doing the same thing, but only when I tried to buy something.
Which is, of course, far more of an issue.

Turns out Nintendo screwed up my account on their side and they had to fix it... all because they still tie the account to hardware VERY tightly and for some reason and since the account was created on my original wii u it wound up causing problems months later. Why? Because, reasons apparently.

My Xbone has been connected without a problem since I got it and only had connectivity issues briefly when lizard squad was ddosing their network (along with a ton of others including PSN).

The only major issue I've had with the xbone so far is that the facial log in thing (which was kinda cool), didn't play nice with amazon instant video for some reason. Even though I was logged in with the same profile either way, logging into amazon just caused it to crash like I was logged in with the wrong person. Netflix, youtube? no problems with either.

The new Fatal Frame will never get released in North America because of rampant feminism. Feminists are already complaining about the game and its only in Japan right now. I'm sick and tired of these scatter-brained ideological activists hijacking the game industry. Freedoms are slowing being taken away by the far left. Twitter is exploding with feminists and their ilk protesting this game, and Kotaku.com is obviously on the band wagon.

Feminists are against this, cover your eyes or a feminists might have a melt down.......

Really? They are complaining about that?
I mean, ya it's sexist... but if that's sending them on a rampage they don't have to do more than poke at Japan for it to explode into a tidal wave of things that would make their brains melt.

Aren't they just bonus costumes anyways? You don't have to use them if you don't want to. Honestly I see those as more for an entertaining second playthrough after you know all the scary parts. It's no different than playing around with the funny outfits in the Resident Evil games.

Honestly when people complain about this I think game developers should go the route Sega took in PSO and PSU by adding similarly skimpy and ridiculous outfits for the male characters.

Who let them out of the kitchen in the first place?

The feminist bashing around here is starting to get really fucking dull.

If you want to discuss Feminism make your own topic for it. I'll be rather annoyed if this topic gets locked because we have another heated debate about that.

What Lan Di brought up was on topic because it concerns a Wii U game, and to be honest that Kotaku Article is typical click bait garbage. Those costumes aren't really sexist or anti-feminist. They're simply playing to their main demographic. It's not the main focus of the game, it's a hidden extra.

The truth hurts doesn't it? And what you just stated is an ad hominen attack. That alone says a lot about your character. I'm not bashing anyone. Fear and intimidation will get you nowhere. You can't hide from the truth. The more feminists expose their true intent and nature, the more society awakens and sees their ugliness and ill intent. Feminism is a disease and people like me are the cure. ;)
