So if I use it I will play as a yarn Yoshi but have a reg Yoshi as the double?

So... two questions which I feel will have both have no for an answer.

1. Can I tap my SMB series Yoshi amiibo to get the double Yoshi?

2. Online co-op?

First time since Yoshi's Story I'm considering a Yoshi game.

Still thinking 'bout it. Gonna pull the trigger soon.

I think the reservation period is only one year. You get to keep the upgrade forever

That sounds better.

Yeah went for it. Didn't know it would only be a year though. Oh well.

I would have said to try different connections myself but it sounds like you did already. I assume the TV still functions fine with other devices? (Just ruling out other possibilities)

I've always found a good mix of cardio and some strength exercises give a good workout. Some jogging, hula hoop sessions, then several of the strength ones (pushups, dips etc) .  After a "main" workout go play some more of the unique games for added benefit. Try the luge yet? That really works your core.

Not yet, put an hour in for the day. Got the advanced hula-hooping in. It's no joke. lol. Will see what tomorrow brings. Can't really figure out what's a good amount of calories to lose in a day. 

Anyone ever use and have any opinions on this? I need to drop some pounds and want something fun to do at the same time? Think doing this plus watching my diet a little more carefully will yield somewhat positive results?

Yes, I am aware there are better things one can do. I'm just interested in knowing if this does anything somewhat worthwhile at all.

Yoga is actually pretty tough.

Anyone know if the Wii Fit and Wii Fit U trainer are two different... characters? I never played Wii Fit and the Wii Fit U trainer does not look like she does in Smash.

Thanks alex for the detailed response and everyone else. Just did 30 minutes today for the first time. Boy am I outta shape. Did a little muscle strengthening and it did some damage. Didn't realize how important posture was. This could be good.

Playing it now. Very nice visual in-game changes. Fees like a party. Sucks you can't play with friends.

Also I have fallen in love with the Luna Blaster. 

Dogs won?! What the hell Judd?

Why do I keep getting teamed up with single digit levels and face all Level 20 teams!? I am Level 13. This is annoying. Plus so many lag outs I quit the damn thing.

Had a few lag outs this morning but been running smooth since.

Also didn't realize the sea urchin dude can add slots to existing gear with less than 4 already. 

People who still see the great backlog of exclusives the Wii U has.

Not to mention Wii games as well.

Yes. A lot of great backlog games a bunch more coming and half the reason I bought a Wii U is still not out. Xenoblade Chronicles X.

MS showed nothing to buy that system.

Gears 4 would like a word with you.

Bomberman

Candy Kong

Dixie Kong

Pauline

Bayonetta

Simon Belmont

Banjo-Kazooie

Knuckles

I kinda want to cast a ballot for Tetris. I mean if Duck Hunt is in it it seems like the sky's the limit.

I like the direction this is going.

A company is now selling "flatulence filtering" underwear - that is, underwear that will absorb your farts.

Shreddies underwear has been around for awhile, but today we've learned of the odor-stopping wonder thanks to Geek.com. Shreddies are made special by their "Zorflex" activated carbon panels, which trap and neutralise the scent of a fart. (Alas, the sound will remain.)

Admittedly, they're not perfect. Shreddies recommends a specific farting stance to ensure proper neutralisation of the odor - no slouching! Legs should be held close together, and the wearer should ensure their underwear fits well so that nothing escapes through gaps in the waistband or leg openings. Shreddies also has some pretty stringent laundry care requirements: the magical underpants can only be washed with soda crystals.

Prices start at £19 (about $30 USD) for a pair of women's wind-resistant briefs, or £24 ($38 USD) for a pair of men's. For those wanting optimal coverage, Shreddies also offers fart-squashing pyjamas, jeans, and even an underwear line for sufferers of incontinence.

What do you think, readers - are Shreddies worth the price for concealing your butt-sneeze? 

didn't they already remake this?

No.

I just opened it up this evening. I love it. Beautiful crisp HD upgrade the way God intended. Playing Hero Mode off the bat as I already played through normal difficulty with the original TP a year or 2 ago. I never missed hearts so much or hated that beeping near death sound more. lol.

I thought it was neat that the Wolf Link amiibo works like a quick start to your last save as soon as you turn on the game. Nothing major but unexpected. 

So I bought it and was raging at the controls for a little while. I really had to try hard to enjoy the game but once I got used to it, fun little game.

It's on the Wii U virtual console. Was wondering people's opinions on the game. Never played it.

Nintendo is significantly less slimy that most gaming companies by numerous examples. They're just poorly managing the amiibo situation.

FINALLY arrived in the mail from Japan and I couldn't be happier...

The gods have smiled upon me...

Good times...

Gameplay with amiibo enabled (or by other means) Peach and Bowser costumes. Not an issue but I feel like it should be the original Princess Toadstool sprite from SMB. Sure her look has been updated since but so has Mario's. I could say the same for Bowser but since the his 8-bit sprite is already used in the game I have less of a quarrel there.
