Pikmin is pretty much a RTS game. The different colored Pikmin have different abilities, *blue can survive water* *red can survive fire*. You use your pikmin to collect "treasure" which will be anything from a bottle top or a duracell battery... You get cash/money for each item you find. There is a bigger picture thought an objective, in Pikmin 2 you had to collect a debt to pay off a company n your home world... i dont know the story too well. But you fight enimies and what not... My 7 year old loves the game... he is trully a beast. He plays the first two and he cannot wait for part 3. We were playing 2 player challenge maps on Pikmin 2 the other day.

Its a Sega Saturn with the 28k modem built in already. History lesson - Sega Saturn had a 28k modem that could be used to play online games, surf the web and send emails. The modem plugged into the top slot that looks like it would fit a Genesis cart in. Action reply also plugs into that to unlock region!

Sega Saturn was/is awesome. I remember being a kid in the 90s, no one had a Saturn. Everyone had PSx or N64. I

Nothing like the good ol days of Genesis Vs SNES!!!  I hated Sega when I was a kid, Genesis was crap compared to SNES, the games sucked. lol But now Sega consoles have a special place in my house..

I disagree. I only had a SNES because I couldn't afford to also own a Genesis back then but there were a lot of good games on the latter as well as the former.

 Just my opinion. I lived through the "war" lol. Seriously it was crazy back then, kids were brutal because SNES Mortal Kombat didnt have blood but Genesis did (with a code). Or Mario sucks and Sonic is better. I stood by my SNES even when i got a Genesis... I remember kids on my street would split into two groups SEGA an NINTENDO. But even after all the arguing we would still go to each others houses to play the games on Sega or SNES that we didnt have.
 

Yes Japan gets the good stuff!! So far ive gotten the DS Game case that holds 9 games, the NES style Mario shirt, AR cards, screen saver, then i got 2012 Platinum award and got my 3 posters. Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, and Kid Icarus uprising. They are awesome posters!. Im about 100 coins from reaching 2013 platinum.

I would of bought the ME trilogy if it came to WiiU. I never got to play them before because i dont care to own 360 or PS3. The only game on PS3 worth playing in MY OPINION is MGS4...

I really hope EA goes down the crapper this gen. Also when they lose their NFL exclusive license and 2K sports comes back it will be game over for them anyway.. Madden is a crap fest of a game, always has been. NFL QB Club was the best football game ive played back on N64. lol QBclub 97!

Yes this is very confusing... i just read on IGN earlier that Kevin would be back. Oh well, im sure it will be a great game no matter who voices Batman. Id much rather have Kevin back because he is Batman to me... Watched Batman the Animated Series when it started in 92, still watch it with my Kids today.

Id like the whole "look back" idea... LOL maybe we will get some time travel where old and young Bruce help each othe LOL. Or Batman Beyond treatment. Old Bruce/Kevin does the whole "Oracle" thing... Eh im just talking out of my butt now...

Do you know the history here? Lost Levels is the actual Mario 2 that was released in Japan. Nintendo of Japan thought Americans would think Super Mario 2 would be too hard and also it looked like the same game.. So we get Doki Doki panic reworked as a Mario game.

Now im not sure why you got discounted but sweet!

This will be interesting. I wonder how much memory is used for OS and gaming? Multitasking takes ALOT of memory... I bet 1-2 GB dedicated to just gaming and the rest for OS/Muli tasking. If thats the case then you wont see much difference out of the three.

Kinetic 2.0 alone is 2 gig according to Kinetic SDK.

Wow so 2 gig for just Kinect... then say 2 more for gaming. thats half the system memory right there. Then the other 4 for multitasking and OS.

I think those that dismiss Donkey Kong werent old enough to enjoy it on SNES! Im excited and ready for DK and the new Mario. Mario Kart will move systems. Check out the comments youtube for X and Bayonetta 2... alot of Sony and Xbox fans are wishing they were getting those games... I think games like that will convert some Sony/MS fans.

"we never gave up" Umm yes you did! lol. I would buy this if it was real. I still have a Saturn and Dreamcast!

While the Wii U in reality is powerful enough to hold it's own against the Xbone and PS4, Everyone outside these forums from non-MS/Sony fanboy to developers have the common believe that the Wii U is only meagerly more powerful than the PS360, Would it be best for Nintendo to release a ram expansion for the Wii U like they done for the N64 or better yet a more powerful model of the Wii U that's as powerful as the PS4?

As much as Id like for this to happen it just wouldnt work. They would have to have this idea in mind before making the console so they could design a way any average Joe could pop in a new/additional memoy module without damaging the console. USB RAM would not work either. As of right now you would have to pop open the console, voiding any warranty you may have.

It would make the original Wii U obsolete and honestly dont think many developers or publishers would even bother with it. Would be like the CD attachments for the SNES or N64. Useless.

The CD attachment for the N64 would of helped wonders if it came out along side the console... I dont even think it hit North America. If the CD attachment was out for N64 Square would of kept FF7 on Nintendo IMO.

Wart technically doesn't exist since Super Mario Bros 2 is a dream. 

Maybe this will be a dream too? lol. Im thinking Daisy.

I was wondering if anyone else who is a member of Club Nintendo got an email for a survey to earn 10 extra coins regarding Nintendo products?

In this survey they asked if i knew about the Xbox One and PS4 and if i was planning to buy one. I told the truth and said "no". I am wondering if Nintendo is just trying to guage some of their loyal customers to find out if they are switching or maybe planning on upping their game?

Woohoo I made Platinum status again!!

I beat MGS1 without a memory card. And if you played before if you die you start over.. .well from last saved point that is. So didnt die and didnt save it. I think thats one of my greatest video game achievements.

I also went for the posters. I have the 3 from last year too. They are a great addition to a bedroom or game room!

How are you getting both the posters and the CD? I thought you only get once choice??

I say that Mario games are hard core because they are unfofgiving with regard to game play mechanics, they are casual however in that they are forgiving in the sense that you get many 1ups and you do not have to find all the secrets or shoot for a high score ... you can breeze through them too.

the reason I do not like Little Big Planet is because the character moves too slow and the controls are sloppy, interesting ideas but not exciting for me,

Mario games are only hard if you have never played a NES...

Im glad they didnt go the Sunshine route. Thats the only Mario game I wont play. Im thinking this Mario will be fun to play with single player or multi. I cant wait to see some of the other levels and some baddies!

Oh, yeah. Because the art looks so much better than Super Mario Bros. on the NES. You do know this is supposed to emulate 8-bit graphics, right? Read the title of the game again.

LOL! I noticed that as well. I think ill buy this game. I love watching Regular Show with my kids.

Have you finished mario NES? It was freaking hard man. I think I've only finished it once or twice, using as many of the secret exits as I could.

Many times. I got my NES when I was 3. The first sentence i remember being able to read is "Course clear you got a card!" LOL! thats sad isnt it... I also used to throw banannas around the house like I was Link and that was my boomerang... Ahh the good ol days of gaming! But yes Super Mario on NES was a hard game. You know you can continue?! lol

My son started playing Pikmin 1 and 2 when he was like four or five years old. He loves Pikmin, your son may not understand whats going on but im sure he will still have fun playing. 

Lol just have him watch ChuggaConroy.

On the first screen when you boot up your WiiU and it asks your to select a profile, you can create a new profile here for your son. When he wants to play his saved game just log him into his profile and load up a game and it will have its own save slots. This only works for some games, games like New Super Luigi U will load the same three saved files no matter what profile is logged in.

Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros U/Luigi U, Injustice, AC3, Epic Mickey 2, Scribblenauts, Darksiders 2, Pikmin 3, Lego City, Sonic Racing, Trine 2, The Cave, Nano Assault Neo, Earth bound, tank tank tank, and plus all the VC titles i purchased on Wii, which I made sure to transfer over on day one so ill count those since they are on my Wii U.

Super Punch Out, bubble bobble, Super mario world, OoT, Majoras Mask, Super Adventure Island 2, Final Fight, Street Fighter 2, Earth Worm Jim 2 (Sega), Mario 2, Mario 3. A Link to the Past, Adventures of Link, A Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Chrono Trigger, Megaman X, Megaman 9, Kirbys Dreamland 3 (i think its called that) Yoshi's Story, Smash Bros.... There are a ton more that i cant name off since im at work. Lol. Im not rebuying these for WiiU as they are already on there just need to go to Wii channel. Im not worried about having tablet display.
