#267153 What is your take on buying and using official game guides? Are they worth it?

Posted by K-Dawg on 17 January 2014 - 05:23 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I ordered AC III & IV in the hardback editions. Found good prices on Amazon. May get 3D WORLD also. Not a fan of Windwaker. It looks too old school. That may change when the new Zelda comes out. If I don't use them I will just collect them for fun.

The games I currently own are:
1. Mario 3D World
2. Rayman Legends
3. Monster Hunter Ultimate 3
4. Assassins Creed III
5. Assassins Creed IV
6. Pikmin 3
7. Lego City Under Cover
8. Zombi U
9. Nintendoland
10. Wonderful 101
11. Batman Arkham City Armored Edition
12. Need for Speed Most Wanted U
13. WiiFitU

I haven't played most of them since I am so enamored in Rayman Legends at the moment but looking forward to the journey that all this game's will lead me through.



#267020 Was Nintendo wrong... what is the consumer saying?

I agree that the initial marketing of the WiiU or lack there of was the reason for dismal sales initially but also honestly feel that the WiiU sales will begin to rise in 2014. The WiiU gives the best of both worlds. You get 1st party games like Mario, Zelda etc. and now get solid 3rd party titles such as Assassins Creed, Mass Effect etc. And the HD graphics on the WiiU are outstanding. Not far off from PS4 & XBOX1. In the fact 1080p resolution and 60fps frame rate of the WiiU are better than the current titles offered by both competitors and their new models. Nintendo does have its own following but I think you will eventually see some MS and Sony heads crossover to the WiiU side once they see that it makes sense. Many have already mentioned that they like the game play of some games much better on the WiiU than they do on the other two platforms and pc. They also like the use of the gamepad as an added dimension for aiding you in certain games. Maps, weaponry etc.

I believe WiiU will become more iconic than its predecessor in time. The key words are "in time".

As an added bonus to prospective buyers...wii all get backwards compatibility. This renders our current wii game library alive and usable while rendering the libraries of PS3 and Xbox 360 games dead and obsolete to the new systems. You must keep the old console to play old games. So why didn't Sony and Microsoft make their new dog houses backwards compatible? Easy. To force you to buy and play new games and ONLY new games. Its all about marketing and increased profits.

These are just my opinions. Only time will truly tell.

Here is an ad placed on craigslist. Is this guy crossing over? Hmmm makes you wonder...

Wiiuha everyone, (pronounced wee-U-ha)

That means hello in nintendoese. Sorta like aloha in Hawaii. Notice that you can spell wii in Hawaii if you just take out the haa.

So anyways,I may be the oldest on this site at 46. But I don't look, act or feel like my age and that's a good thing. I am a PS3 OWNER who rarely used it. My kids were the gamers in this family. But that has all changed now. And the WiiU is the reason. I got it this Christmas and have 12 WiiU titles already. I am just having a frigging blast with this thing. Rayman Legends is what my girlfriend and I have been playing lately and we just love it. Anyway, I just wanted to drop in to say wiiuha and say that I am enjoying the forum already. Glad to have found new friends here.

Cheers,

#267027 What is your take on buying and using official game guides? Are they worth it?

Posted by K-Dawg on 17 January 2014 - 01:59 AM in Wii U Games and Software

So I'm thinking of buying my first official game guide for Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag. Do game guides really help or are they just more of a collector piece? I know you can go online if you get stuck but I felt that opening a book for quick reference might be handier. Are the easy to understand or instead rather confusing. What say you?



#267025 Get em while they're cheap...wii remote plus and nunchuck deal!

Yo but what about Canadians doh?
Do we get some love or did we get shafted as per usual?


Wiiuha eh? There's your love my neighboring countryman.



#267012 Get em while they're cheap...wii remote plus and nunchuck deal!

Wiiuha everyone! That means hello to wii u owners in nintendoese. Sorta like aloha for Hawaiian. Notice how you can get wii from Hawaii if you take out the haa? Lol.

So anyways... I was searching for a place where I could buy authentic wii remote plus controllers and nunchucks at a reasonable price. $39.95 + $19.95 retail was really more than I wanted to spend. That's $240 total since I wanted to purchase 4 for potential full capacity local co-op game play. Rayman for example, allows the use of up to 4 controllers (wii remote plus or pro controllers or a combination of the two). Add the gamepad to the mix and you can have 5 players play at the same time with no split screen.

So anyway, I searched high and low on the net until I came across this strange and obscure website known as nintendo.com. Haa, yeah why would I or anyone think to go there for cheap prices? Well my friends, they sell refurbished accessories like many appliance & consumer electronics companies do.

Guess how much I paid? Drum roll please. Drum roll! $80 bucks!

No no no not $80 a piece...$80 for all 4. Oh wait I mean $80 for all 8. Yes they all come with the nunchucks AND the strap AND the neoprene protective sleeve AND a 90 day warranty. I got mine and it took only 6 days to arrive in the great state of Ohio, USA.

So what are you all waiting for? Get them now before they are all sold out. They have white and black. I chose black of course to match my deluxe system color. Good luck and godspeed to all. Oh btw, this is my first post on this forum. Nice meeting everyone...cheers!
