Hey there, name's Andre'. I'm 18 years old and have quite a bit of forum experience; I hope I become a valuable asset to this community!

Challenging retro games are my niche. I've owned just about every console since the Atari 2600, and will take the classics over a game on a next-gen console any day. My favorite console is the SNES, though I have high hopes for the Wii U!

I'm a massive fan of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy and Rare's interpretation of the character. Donkey Kong Country 2 is my favorite game, among:

• Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
• Sonic CD
• Battletoads
• Mega Man 3
• Conker's Bad Fur Day
• Banjo-Kazooie
• Ico
• Tetris Attack
• TLoZ: A Link to the Past
• Half-Life
• SMW 2: Yoshi's Island
• Contra
• Earthworm Jim 2
• Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts

...The list could go on and on.

I dig graphic design and it's my other true passion.

I can be a nice guy, but I don't take spit from anyone, so don't bring it.
All right, time to meet some folks! Oh, and feel free to add me on Last.fm!

Link to the Past is a really great game. I loved it from beginning to end. Anyways, welcome! If you need any help, contact Twilight Sparkle or AMAC. BEST. MODS. EVER!

Welcome to the Wii U forums. I'm Andy, one of the guides here.
I also enjoy playing challenging, classic games. Right now I'm playing through Super Castlevania IV and getting my butt handed to me.
As you can tell by my avatar, the Legend of Zelda series is my life. I've played every game except the oracle games and Four Swords, and Zelda II is the only one I've played and haven't beat.
My favorite games are

• Ocarina of Time
• Wind Waker
• Minish Cap
• A Link to the Past
• Twilight Princess
• The Legend of Zelda
• Phantom Hourglass
• Spirit Tracks
• Link's Awakening
• Four Swords Adventure
• Zelda II
• Majora's Mask
• Pokemon
• Mario
• Spyro the Dragon
• Sly Cooper

I'm also hoping to learn Graphic design when I get to Collage.
If you need any help, just ask a guide. If it's a technical issue with the site, ask our Admin Feld0(currently Twilight Sparkle) or our Moderator AMAC.

Welcome. I'm Atsuro. I hope you'll enjoy your time here. It's good to see another halflife fan here

[Makar]

Welcome to the Wii U forums! I'm pretty new myself so I can't really give you much advice, not that you need it by the looks of things.
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie are among my favourite games of all time!
Have you played Nuts and bolts an if so did you enjoy it? I personally didn't, the lack of the old characters and the humour just wasn't what it was in the older games although maybe I'm just wearing nostalgia goggles.

Hope you enjoy it here!

[aramon892]

Appreciate the welcomes, guys.

I agree. Some of Rare's definitive humor is definitely left intact, and the game is fine as it is, but such a radically different type of game just didn't fit Banjo. I feel fans would've been more welcoming if they'd just created a new IP around that style. I can't say I hated it, but it's certainly not what I was expecting from a B-K game.

Hey there man.

You and I are gonna get along. xD I am also a huge fan of the Donkey Kong trilogy and I am also a fan of Rareware's work. Also the fact that you have SMW 2: Yoshi's Island on your list shows that you have good taste. xD I was there for the SNES, but the N64 is much more memorable because that is how I spent most of my early childhood.

It's really great to meet you and I hope you enjoy your stay at the forums! Don't hesistate to ask the admin, mod, or even us guides if you have any question. If you have high hope for Wii U, you came to the right place.

Welcome to the forums. I am greatly thrilled that you have some of the same favorite games! Annnyyway, my name is GunGoomba, and I am a local Pikmin spy, despite my username. What was your first game ever? Anyway, if you have a problem or question, feel free to contact the people with orange names below their avatar, or Twilight Sparkle and AMAC, our fellow administrators.

Have a look at the rules and Newcomer's guide! (Noone else linked you them as yet )

The rules are quite easy to follow, but if you need any help with them, I'd be glad to be of assistance

If you need any non-technical help you can ask me or any of the guides.


I've already seen you around, so I already know your enjoying yourself

Hello Banjo Kazooie? Have you done Stop n' Swop on there?

[Gruff]

Hey Hey Hey, I'm GameCube.
My favorite thing is Nintendo. The only Rare games I like were StarFox Adventures and Diddy Kong Racing, but I don't play Rare very much anymore since they moved to xbox.
Welcom to the forums, I bet I know you will be a great addition to this forum site.

[aramon892]

Eh, I've never been able to forgive Ninty for ruining Dinosaur Planet, but DKR is a fantastic game! Rare's fallen off the map, but Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Viva Piñata are excellent games developed during the post-buyout era.

...I feel my introduction's been drawn out a bit by now.

I don't think Grabbed by the Ghoulies was excellent although I can see it's a guilty pleasure for most.

[Hank Hill]

I could've sworn I've welcomed you before. o_O

Well, welcome to the Wii U Forums. I'm glad to see another person that loves the N64 classics, and knows a good game when he sees one. I'm glad you've joined up, and look forward to seeing you around.

[Elric]

Oh lord, I love battletoads even though I suck terribly at it. So, you like Ico. I actually haven't played Ico, but I have played shadow of the colossus. Do you happen to like that game? I loved it, mostly because of its compelling but simple story along with a dreadfully emotional ending.

Hey there. Im superdarkyoshi. I enjoy writing short stories (currently one in progress, actually) and poetry (again, another poem in development). I also like to call myself a guitar player. Ive been playing for about 2 years now, and know and thing or two about the basic chords and standard notation.
