#313613 Splatoon Is A Bad Unfinished Game

Posted by Merky_Water on 01 June 2015 - 04:00 AM in Wii U Games and Software

There are so many things wrong with Splatoon, it's just not even fun.

I'm not sure we're playing the same game

The only thing I could do without is the mandatory news breaks. But that, to me, isn't worth making a thread over... even if this is the internet after all, the apparent venue for such things

Everything else I want they tell me is coming in August and that is plenty soon for me. Much of my summers are spent off screen.

#313482 Should Zelda U = NX Masterquest edition?

Posted by Merky_Water on 28 May 2015 - 07:32 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I guess I get why Iwata mentioned NX, but I'm just not as hyped up about an unknown device as some. I'm happy to wait until Ninty releases info to the gamers rather than a quick mention to stockholders.

With the hype a single mention has stirred, I have a feeling a lot who have already locked into what they predict the NX will be will be very disappointed. ...the drivers of this hype train are likely to be the same ones to derail it. Let's just enjoy our present home console and handheld and save the speculation for when we hear more than two letters about the device.

#313480 Considering Hard Drives for my Wii U.

Wow, you got that for an excellent price. One USB port on your Wii U and it was good to go?

Yes, one USB port as it plugs into the wall for power. Makes the read and write times much faster than the passport i used to use or the thumb drive i attempted for a short time.

While I did luck out on a great deal, honestly, i would have even paid the $85 sale they're throwing right now

#313405 Considering Hard Drives for my Wii U.

I use the 2TB version of this guy: http://www.amazon.co...ding=UTF8&psc=1

While it might be overkill on size(and, at least at the time, the max the U could recognize), it was on sale for $70 or $75 when I bought it a year or so ago. Works like a champ and doesn't tie up more than one USB port. Fast access too so much so that I don't notice a difference in speed whether it's pulling info from the internal or external drive.

#313403 HumbleBundle Nindie Bundle!

Posted by Merky_Water on 26 May 2015 - 05:22 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I picked one of these bundles up earlier today. Good to see the ol' humble bundle hitting the nintendo platforms.

I've only had time to play OllieOllie and Steamworld Dig of the 5 U titles so far and Moon Chronicles of the 5 3DS games.

While they're fun, I'll likely raffle off my 3DS versions of OllieOllie and Steamworld Dig as I can't see need for two of each.

#313382 Gunslingers ~ The Nintendo Wii U Clan for Adults.

I can't wait to catch some Splatoon action with my Gunslinger brethren soon!

That ventrilo server's going to come in handy!

#313153 Black Ops 3 headed to Wii U?

Posted by Merky_Water on 21 May 2015 - 06:00 PM in Wii U Games and Software

While I hoped the franchise would head backward in time rather than keeping with the futuristic stuff, I'll be getting it so long as they keep a motion control option. They do seem the only franchise to really master that control method. While I wish Medal of Honor stuck with it, they really had only scratched the surface of motion before throwing in the towel.

I bought BO2 and Ghosts. While I enjoyed them both, I still head back to BO2 fairly regularly.

For it's futuristic time period, I wasn't the least bit disappointed the U missed AW. I can take or leave the premise of BO3 but would love to support CoD's return to the platform. What I really hope for is the next installment taking place in present or historical times with appropriate weaponry. ..as well as I'd like to see it every 2 or 3 years rather than a yearly installment. Just throw us more DLC rather than selling us a whole new disc. I'd bet you'd make out better that way in the end.
