2 yrs ago I got a WII U and after 5 months I sold it.  Was perfectly fine with selling that as there wasn't much going on game wise.  So the other day I was looking on Ebay and won an auction for a 32g system for $130.  Now it was missing a power cord so I ordered one.  Now I was quite leery of this deal but yesterday I powered everything on. 

 

First Off the Good:

 

Minor scuffs but no major cosmetic issues

System was preloaded with Super Mario 3d world

Sonic and Sega All stars was still in the system (I 900'd this on xbox but hey free game)

 

The almost bad:

 

System powered up but after 10 minutes the light went red and shut off, I unplugged tried again and powered down.  Now I was not freaking out as I paid very little, but I was slightly annoyed as it was turning on but then off.  Low and behold I do a web search and someone mentioned the fan.  I blow out some dust and out falls a dried up dead moth.  I power the system back on and the fan is now running.  So last night I played Mario 3d for the first time and the system is fully functional....not bad.

 

 

Next up Splatoon

If I get the game, I'll be glad that I don't have to hear 14-year-olds shout racial expletives into the microphone when their parents aren't home.

Just because they are releasing the rest of the game for free in updates doesn't excuse the sheer lack of content.

 

But by releasing it "unfinished" instead of delaying it, we all have something new to play on the Wii U right now.

 

I dunno about you but I know I would certainly rather have something than nothing.

spawn camping is a pointless waste of time.

" A bad unfinished game"? , So when it's finished, it is still going to be bad?

 

I would suggest, if anything, Splatoon is a good, unfinished game. At least in regards to online content.

The fact that you have to use the gamepad frustrates me. Wish I could just pick up the pro-controller and enjoy but.... no!

 

It's essential to use the Game Pad when playing Splatoon.  It's easier to catapult to your teammate and assist him.  You'll just have to accept it.

most of the things you mentioned I don't really care about

 

i think it's really fun even with the lack of content, and it was cheaper than most other Nintendo games as well

Is Nintendo using amiibos the right way in their games?
Amiibos for Mario kart 8 are right and wrong. The racing suits for some amiibos is good but for others they should give players item at the start of the race. (Rosalina amiibo should give the player a star instead of a suit)

Items would be unfair for those that are not using an amiibo or don't have one (multiplayer speaking of course) and the game is haphazard enough not to need it. Racing suits don't change the mechanics of the game, it's just a visual unlocked item for asthetics.

The real problem with amiibo is many people cannot purchase the ones they want, let alone be able to use them.

MK8 wasn't built for amiibo, it was more of an afterthought. Adding racing suits is a cool little bonus for owning an amiibo, but it's main use is in SMASH.

The Rihanna video was a better fit, i think.

Fire Emblem Warriors son. FE universe is 10x that of Zelda so the DLC could go on for a long time and the game would be massive. FEW needs to happen.

I don't agree with Amiibo's having exclusive downloadable content. You should be able to buy content from the eshop, if you have an Amiibo you can get the content for free.

Seems clear to me that this is it. Saving content for a sequel or maybe they are working on another collab with Nintendo using another franchise.

Fire Emblem Warriors says hello...

So this is definitely the end of DLC? It's a lot of bonus content for $20, but I wouldn't mind having a sequel or a "Season 2" of DLC that focuses on WW and the 2D Zeldas.

I almost find it hard to be excited for this since we've seen nothing of it. Show me da gameplay, then I'll be excited.

Think Nintendo missed a trick here by not making it a HD remake. Since Wii U is b/c already don't see much point.

I think the big thing they'really going for is availability. Metroid Prime Trilogy is $60 used: now you can get it for $10. They could do this with other games such as Radiant Dawn, Xenoblade, etc.

No, Nintendo shouldn't fund it. Nintendo should develop it! Can't let Capcom screw it up again...
