Wasn't that from an update months ago?

Adam Tyner

Awww...! I appreciate LosingMyMind's passion and enthusiasm, and I hope he comes back. It's not the most joyous time to be a Nintendo-or-die fanatic, and the negativity/disappointment in gaming circles coupled with how few people here are similarly likeminded probably didn't make DVD Talk a great fit for him.

It was added last September, yeah. I'm assuming there's a reason why Nintendo listed it with this most recent update, but I'm not sure what that might be. Maybe the way it works / things are selected has been tweaked?

Not sure what "cannot be played with Pad" means...

Noonan

The gamepad will act purely as a screen. You still need a Wiimote to play Wii games.

Rob V

^^ oh... ridiculous.

I saw this in the digital store the other day but had no idea it had a retail release. The trailer wasn't that impressive, which I thought was fine for a download-only game, but...

Adam Tyner

It's listed at Amazon for $19.99, anyway. It sounds like anyone who's interested would be better off with the just about identical Android/iOS game for $2.

fumanstan

Yeah that's weird, always thought it was particularly strange when people go back and delete posts too.

I didn't think he was that bad either except for a few posts the last couple months where he started going in to other threads with obvious flame bait/troll comments.

RichC2

Yeah he was a good cheerleader for the Wii U until he started trolling other threads.

Adam Tyner

If you haven't picked up Wind Waker HD yet, Amazon has it for $41. Decent deal.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is even less at $39.99.

I started Wind Waker HD this weekend. It's really good. I played the original, but man this one looks great.

Michael Corvin

This thread has seen more action since LMM left than in all of Jan-March.

Both are also on sale at BB, so after GCU 20% off:
Wind Waker: $36
Donkey Kong: $32

Gizmo

Good for him. I know exactly why he bolted and while I don't agree on deleting all of one's posts, I can understand why he chooses not to post here.

Gizmo

DK needs to go to about $25 for me. Already seen a $10 drop in a month.

Adam Tyner

His final post prompted a warning about violating the 'console warrior' rule, so it's pretty clear what the straw was that broke the camel's back, at least.

Drama!

Wait. Who?

I have a Wii U and appreciated his posts in this sticky. I still am disappointed with the lack of games, but I will probably get Mario Kart when it comes out. It's less than $60 retail. And some of the indie games are a lot of fun. But like others have said, it's a confused system, in that it didn't know what it wanted to be, and thus turned off both hardcore and casual gamers alike. It's a solid system with a lot of potential, but potential is just that, and doesn't equal success.

I just don't get why people take that stuff so seriously. I have a Wii U and can laugh (and cry) at how poorly it's doing. I have a PS4 and can laugh at jokes a the PS4's expense (like the one about adding in features to the PSN that Xbox Live has had since 2007). I don't own an Xbox One and have never felt the need to go into the X1 thread to make snide comments. Why is that so difficult for some other people? I'll never get it.

Brack

I think it comes down to defending their purchase, basically. And a certain level of insecurity goes along with it. What goes on here is nothing compared to the utter lack of respect that goes on with sites like IGN, which is so juvenile I make it a point to avoid ever looking at comments of their articles. Just a lot of hate, when it should be about the love of games.

Supermallet

I go to other sites for gaming news, but for gaming discussion I only come here.

And I can understand wanting to defend a purchase, but that's still no excuse for trolling threads of other systems.

Brack

Oh I wasn't excusing the behavior, just giving a likely reason for such behavior. Still no excuse.

I posted a couple of weeks ago in the XB1 thread stating that it seemed like a lot of bugs and problems were with the system based on what I was reading...not as trolling, but more to get confirmation, as I'm following it closely to decide when/if I eventually get one.

I like the Wii U...I just wish we had a 3D Mario game and a real Zelda game. That's what I buy Nintendo systems for. And Mario Kart...and Animal Crossing...and Smash Bros.

Michael Corvin

There is a 3D Mario and Wind Waker was the last real Zelda game anyway.
