Good idea for the thread. ID, eddyray.


I'll add you.


#310276 Mario vs.DK: Tipping Stars ID sharing for level creator

Posted by Fig on 10 March 2015 - 03:16 AM

I hope everyone is enjoying the game do far. I know I am!

The level creator is great. Only problem: if you're level doesn't become popular in the first day it's lost forever. And the popular section is littered with Free Stars crap.

This is a thread to build your friends/followers who play this game. Maybe you won't feel like your efforts are wasted bc one or two people play your level.

Anyways, my NNID is Jumpman86, feel free to add me. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!


#309399 Wii U top 3 games (for new owners)

Posted by Fig on 21 February 2015 - 02:52 PM

Let me say that there are several games worth owning, and you really can't go wrong with all of the games listed so far.

The first three games I would recommend are;

1. Mario Kart 8 - excellent entry in the MK series. Great multi and single player experience. Online races and DLC add tons of replay value.

2. Rayman Legends - might be the best platformer on Wii U. Great multi and single player experience. Superb use of the GamePad.

3. Super Mario 3D World - IMO, perfectly takes 2D Mario and puts it in a 3D space. Wii U's flagship Mario title is tons of fun, again, alone or with friends.


#296001 lego hobbit

Posted by Fig on 15 August 2014 - 05:25 PM

I'm almost certain it supports off tv okay. Lego Marvel Heroes supports it. And the Lego games are great! Easy to control, humorous, charm oozing takes on the stories, and fun and engaging puzzles. Fun for adults and easy enough for kids to enjoy. Honestly, the Lego games might be the perfect family game series.

My young son has got into the Hobbit book and I was thinking of getting this game for him. Does anyone know whether this game supports off tv play? Also any thoughts on this game, as we've not played any Lego games. Thanks




#279037 What on earth could Nintendo should do at E3 to win back developers?

Posted by Fig on 30 March 2014 - 03:45 AM

Nintendo does not need to cater to Dude Brosā„¢ nor do I want them to.  They've sold 6 million consoles and can sell more by making their own great games.  There are other consoles for the Dude Brosā„¢ and there's no point in having 3 more or less identical options.


The question was how Nintendo can gain more support. I suggested that part of the solution is increasing the install base. A large part of the gaming market is dude bros. Making a system that is capable of appealing to dude bros doesn't mean they have to abandon their current fans. They don't have to make dude bro games. They just have to make a system with competitive graphics and online capabilities. It's the only way to truly gain more third party support with the market's current demands.


#276862 When it comes to Donkey kong...

Posted by Fig on 11 March 2014 - 04:56 PM

Retro has made the best DKC game of all time in TF, I believe. But who knows what 90s Rare could have done with the capabilities of Wii U. I feel fortunate to have experienced them all while they were new.


#274315 Wii-u gift card and E-shop cards back on sale!

I bought two 50 dollar cards for 80 bucks. Plus I'll get DDP eshop credit when I spend them. A must do deal if you've gone digital.


#262272 Gamespot DKTF Preview.... Nintendo take notice!

Posted by Fig on 19 December 2013 - 04:10 AM

There's no such thing as "just another" Donkey Kong. It's the next Donkey Kong and it's quality and success are important. The game, overall, has a lot to live up to. Nintendo put one of their best developers on it. There is nothing wrong with that.

This game series has fans that have high expectations. I, for one, am glad that Nintendo is taking DKC:TF seriously. People saying Retro was wasted on this game is blatantly disrespectful to the DK series and it's fans. It is also a blatantly selfish statement.

Does Nintendo need more modern gaming franchises? Perhaps, but not at the expense of their most successful and cherished franchises.


#255005 Wii u sports club,

Is anyone else suffering from Nintendo Online with this game? I can't seem to connect with anyone.


Same here, it's painful.


#243209 Will be new to the wiiu family

Posted by Fig on 31 August 2013 - 04:02 AM

Lego City is the best Lego game of all time. Nintendo Land is fun if you've got a person or two to play with locally. Need For Speed is fun and likely cheap. Rayman Legends is getting great reviews. And of course, the future Fall lineup looks great.


#223119 Is there any truth to this?

Posted by Fig on 17 June 2013 - 04:20 PM

To answer your question in a word, yes.

- A lot of Nintendo fans tend to buy Nintendo games over 3rd party games. That's tough to compete with. (I think N has the best devs in the world, nothing for N fans to be ashamed of)

- Wii U has a low install base (a fact that I think honestly affects some devs, for others it's a convenient excuse, look @XB1 and PS4's install base)

- Some devs are graphics whores/spec snobs

- Some devs have better business relationships with Microsoft and/or Sony than Nintendo (a nice way of saying paying for exclusives).

- Some devs look at all of the above.

can someone post a link to a place where I can watch the Nintendo direct? Thanks

I read an article last night about a prediction for Retros new game, it said it was a reboot of startropics.  I read up on the game, and it looks pretty smashing!!

Lets temper our expectations. We should only expect stuff we know is gonna be there, as confirmed by Nintendo themselves, namely Mario, Smash, and Mario Kart. Everything else will be a bonus.


#212456 Sonic Lost Worlds Trailer released!

Posted by Fig on 28 May 2013 - 05:15 PM

All I noticed was how fun the trailer made the game seem. And then I come here and half the comments are about graphics... wtf? It's a fast paced cartoon platformer. Its not Uncharted or X. Get over yourselves.

Day one purchase for me, they'll have to really screw something up to change that. And I'm not a major Sonic fan.
