We haven't posted any spoilers, we have been very vague.

Just the notion of that Young Joe does something drastic in the ending is enough of a spoiler for me. But that's just me.

Also Kid Blue is definitely Abe.

Remember how we had to go to some options menu to get our Ambassador games on 3DS and do it each time for all 20 games?

Good times.

Looper 8/10

I have a nicer pocket watch.

I really like how in recent years we have steady flow of hard sci fi movies.

District 9, Source Code, Moon were all brilliant.

Letting other people use the TV for other things.

Hm, good point.

It just looks so cumbersome -- can't imagine myself of actually playing that way. If someone take the TV from me, i'd rather just pause and save the in that case.

Awesome video.
Though why they needed to make sensor bar light visible and purple of all colours...

I guess this means you may eventually be able to play Wii games with just the game pad.

What's the point of playing say Skyward Sword on gamepad that way if you're not holding it and not using buttons. And using a miniature screen while sitting a meter away from it.

GPC/CPU/RAM...

I, for one, don't care.

Give me the games for my console and i'll buy them (well, provided i'm interested in it in the first place).

Can't deal with my console? Sorry, pal, my money go elsewere.

Okay, i actually kinda care since i'm pretty tech savvy mostly pc guy, but in Nintendo's case as long as games are there, they can run on abacus for all i care.

I keep hoping this thread is about AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER (tv show, not that godawful movie) and I keep getting disappointed.

ATLA is my favourite piece of entertainment ever. Any genre or format.

How could Nintendo build a console that's technically weaker than 6-year-old machines? It's impossible.

I can totally believe that.

Nintendo is cheap, lazy and dumb sometimes.

Still hyped for european launch, my august pre-order is ready

I'm addicted to the the drawing posts. I got 66 yeahs! from a drawing on the Zombi U group.

Drawing random pics in Swapnote was one of my favourite things to do with my 3DS.

I'm really glad they based entire online system around it.

30th November, come on... And then i have to wait till it's delivered...

Again I have had zero issues so far. Well my U didn't read black ops for a moment so I hat to reinsert it. Besides that My online sessions have been 100% lag free in both Black Ops and Tekken. I sware every match I am playing someone right next to me.

Could you please check if Wii Classic Controller is supported? I really don't want to buy Wii U Pro Controller just for this.

It should say so on the back of a case.

Really stoked to play some Tekken with my friends.

Right now I'm thinking about Planet Earth or Blue Planet or Life or some **** like that.

I think those all these documentaries are chock full of CGI. They're still gorgeous.

About visually stunning movies with little to no CGI, look into Tarsem Singh's movies: The Cell and The Fall.

As to animated movies, look for Don Bluth's Secret Of NIMH (pretty amazing lightning and colouring there).

Hopefully the system will already be updated for European launch.

Or at least that they will include firmware updates on the game discs.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Network Accounts Tied to Wii U System

« on: November 18, 2012, 09:09:55 PM »

This is stupid because accounts for home systems aren't as important as for handhelds anyway. And yet they're doing it on Wii U first, with no explanation when are they going to implement it on 3DS.

I lost my original 3DS and it feels bad.

Wow, this guy is pretty fast. I don't think i'm that fast with mouse and keyboard.

Is that true IR pointing? Not gyro stuff, like in Nintendo Land?

It made me want to buy this game.

I'm not following you... ?

In one of the first episodes George Constanza went to cafe or bank or something with a huge can full of change. It took clerk half an episode to count them.

While cleaning I stumbled upon a bag of those paper rolls for coins, which made me decide to bust out the old piggy back that I knew was pretty much full (could hardly fit pennies in there the other day..)

Hours later and I have $150 in quarters.. and ran out of rolls. I have a small cup left with more quarters to count, probably another $30 easy, and I still have a full cup of dimes, nickels and 2 cups of quarters to count.

Needless to say, I think I'm getting more than just Zombie U now, though I'll likely just wait until TRU's thanksgiving day sale - seeing as my family is out of town so I have no obligations that day.

Truly unexpected haha.

That reminded me that i never actually watched Seinfeld further than episode 7 or something...

Nintendo Gaming / Re: The Wii Era Is Over. Thoughts?

« on: November 18, 2012, 06:35:31 AM »

Imagine a country that didn't even existed 20 years ago.

A country where piracy is the norm and people never even heard of consoles. Or if they did, they think of Dendy or something.

That's where i live. PC is the king, and most people don't even know consoles exists. Personally i didn't even knew PS2 was even a thing until... 2010, i think? And i played a LOT of games. It's just that all of it was on PC/Steam.

Funny how it all came to be. I remember i randomly stumbled upon Scribblenauts description or something and it blew my mind from programmer's perspective -- how's that even possible, and then i knew it actually runs on some gadget called Nintendo DS (yeah, never heard of that one before, too). In January 2011 i got my DS and it opened me a door to something i never knew before: console/handheld gaming.

So one goes after another, after DS i bought 3DS in April and then a Wii in July. I remember getting the box, unpacking and installing it at the morning and then running off to work leaving it to my sister with Mario Kart on.

Then was Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands, Mario Galaxy 2 and 1 (i played both at the same time and started from 2 so it's really hard for me to separate them, they're kinda mixed in a awesome blur of fun and sheer awesomeness), Wii Sports and Just Dance.

Last two games were kinda surreal because of how much my sisters and aunt and mom got into them. Seeing them playing these two games, jumping around and getting agitated was really awesome.

I also remember that night when i brought my Wii and my two DK Bongos to my friend's home and we had an awesome gaming night, me friend and his gf. We played it again together a few weeks later with two more guys and lots of booze -- the best fun i had with videogames ever.

I remember how frustrated i got when i was losing in coin battles in NSMB Wii and other three guys last time played Mario on NES knockoffs! Yeah, i was drunk, but so were they...

This year, two of those friends got themselves a Wiis of their own and it was just so awesome to discuss with someone in real life how "9-7 is a bitch" and "yeah desert world is a real drag to play".

I can't wait till i will play NSMB U with them.

« on: November 18, 2012, 05:58:18 AM »

Beat my second boss, robot Giant. Save file says i played this game for five hours.

Come on, people. It's not that hard. Took me seven or so tries to figure out the pattern to hit his face and after it fell off, i just finished him by spamming ninja stars (when face shield is on they don't work).

The game isn't really that obtuse as you make it to be. I find Zelda games MUCH more esoteric. I got completely stumped in all three Zeldas since OOT not knowing what to do and what should i get to get inside dungeons or to complete some quest. After literally days and days of pointless wandering i finally give up and watch walkthrough. Like right now, in MM: what am i supposed to do get inside Ikana village, i need some mask you get near the ranch? Been there and looked everywhere, can't find nothing for three days now.
