Thought I'd start one of these since a few of us have one of these consoles.
Found this (http://mynintendonews.com/2014/05/21/nintendo-and-pdp-partner-for-gamecube-style-controller-for-smash-bros-wii-u/) today while browsing. Cool little bit of news, I'd be overwhelmed playing SSB on a GC controller once again. Also, Mario Kart 8 is out next Saturday and I'm dying to get my hands on it. Apparently it comes with a free game once you register it on the Nintendo Club site, so I'll probably pick up The Wonderful 101 or Windwaker HD for free as well.
-
I hope those third party controllers aren't shit like most third party controllers are. I couldn't imagine playing Smash Bros. on anything but an official Nintendo GameCube controller.
-
I have 4 third party controllers, and besides being kinda weird with the joysticks they're alright. Got them all for $40 so I'm happy with it. Since these guys are partnering with Nintendo for the GC controller, hopefully it'll be good. The only shit part is that it has to go through the gamepad, but at least they're not gonna be $50 or something ridiculous.
-
I have a Wii U and a 3DS. I also have three copies of SSB4 pre-ordered (2 for 3DS and 1 for Wii U).
Although, I haven't played anything on the Wii U since The Wind Waker HD remake. Was fantastic, of course. But I already knew that before buying it, having played the original.
The only games I plan on getting for it in the future are Hyrule Warriors, Smash, and the next inevitable Zelda game (this is usually why I buy Nintendo home consoles anyways). I don't care much for Mario, but I don't dislike the series. However, I couldn't care less about the new Mario Kart. I have never found any enjoyment in kart games. Maybe I'll pick this one up, but I don't really want to spend the money.
If you have one you should share your friend codes/nintendo ids.

That's awesome. I really hope this comes out. I have three classic controllers for the Wii and one of the new classic controllers for the Wii U, so I'm covered on control methods... but the gamecube controller would be much better for Smash. Not to mention, the new and improved classic controller for the Wii U has some questionable design choices.....
Edit.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/05/pdp_confirms_the_gamecube_inspired_wired_fight_pad_for_wii_and_wii_u
This is apparently their GameCube inspired controller. Huh??? Wait no. I got confused. The controller pictured is an old design. But the GameCube inspired one will be wireless, that's kinda shitty.
-
I am a happy Wii U/3DS owner. :D I have the Zelda edition of both consoles (of course) and use both pretty regularly. I'm going to get Mario Kart 8...but only because you get a free game with it, which I can use to pick up Pikmin 3, which I've been desperately wanting since its announcement but haven't had money for. I'm gonna buy Smash Bros U and Smash Bros 3DS, I need Hyrule Warriors (which I fully recognize probably won't be a very great game but I'll love to death anyway) and I'm pretty much in a writhing state of bliss anticipating the inevitable showing of Zelda U at E3 LESS THAN THREE WEEKS FROM NOW AFDSKLJF
If you want my 3DS code/Wii Username, PM me. :D
But the GameCube inspired one will be wireless, that's kinda shitty.
It will be wired, actually, which is even shittier. :/ That alone will stop me from getting it. I don't want to have to plug it into a freaking Wiimote just to use it.
-
I'll put my Wii U username up when I get MK8. Don't play it much now since I finished Rayman and Super Mario Bros U.
-
I bought my 3DS to replace my broken old DS. I'm very much looking forward to SSB on the 3SD.

It will be wired to the wiimote, which is wireless. So its essentially wireless. I'd prefer it to plug directly into the console.

No one on TFES can beat me at SSB, but you're all welcome to try once the new one is released.

I think its coming out in November. Maybe sooner.
Also, Snupes. Hyrule Warriors is going to be awesome. Koei games are mindless but very fun.
-
So which game do you guys think I should download with MK8?
Pikmin 3
Wind Waker HD
Wonderful 101
I never played Wind Waker either.
-
W101

That's what I meant. I don't think it'll be what I'd call a "good game", but I'll still enjoy the mindlessness of playing as Zelda characters in that scenario.

Wind Waker HD, easily. I've played Wind Waker so many times and it has some of the best music ever in a video game.

Wind Waker first, then Wonderful 1010, then Pikmin.
Wind Waker is pretty much a must play game. No buts.

but balkno said W101

Does he even have a Wii U? ::)
-
No, but you don't need one to play Wind Waker
-
No, but you don't need one to play Wind Waker
Wind Waker HD is the best way to play Wind Waker. If you already have a Wii U and have never played the original then it's the best option available.
Also, how can you recommend W101 with no Wii U? Even if you've played it at a friends house or something, you don't own it and therefore don't have complete knowledge of the game. You have no real basis to recommend it except that Neogaf says it's cool.
Dirty hipster.

They should call it Wind Wanker. lol get it?

Apparently.

Not even google can answer this question for me. I might just buy the other anyway since my WiiU is lacking in games.
-
Wonderful 101 is okay. Wind Waker HD is the way to go, unless you want to buy a Gamecube as well (even in that case, HD is indeed the better way to play).
-
Ike is back in Smash. Meh.

Ike is the most retarded character in Brawl. He's slow and awkward so they just gave him an overpowered jab to compensate. Brawl is really the worst in the series.

Brawl is the worst, imo. Who's idea was it to put random tripping into the game engine? What is the purpose of that?
Melee was the best in the series, hopefully that will change when SSB4 comes out.

I turned the Smash Balls off, they're just cheating.
Also, I used to kick ass with Jigglypuff
-
I won a tournament with Jig and got a copy of Spore out of it. She's definitely nerfed from Melee, but still a pain in the ass.

It's basically what all the reviews said: a modernised mario kart that is just as fun to play as the predecessors. The game looks absolutely great, for me it's worth the cash alone to see MK64 and Double Dash maps remastered in 1080p. It doesn't use the gamepad much, it basically just moves the placings, map and a secondary camera on to it in case the TV is taken. Each of those can be enlarged on the gamepad to encompass the entire screen, which is kinda useful but I don't find myself glancing at it often. The anti-gravity stuff doesn't really add anything to the game except a few extra routes on some tracks, and motorbikes seem slightly overpowered (or maybe just easier to pick up). I haven't played online yet so I can't say how shit that is, although it's supposed to be annoying to play with/against friends.
tl;dr hold A to win every race, mario kart 8 worst thing since dark souls. 8/10
Also downloading Wind Waker HD right now, so I'll have that and MK8 to suck up my time.

Yaaaay. I should be getting it this weekend. :D And tell us what you think of Wind Waker! One of the kids here is playing it right now, he's been begging me all month.
-
I should've downloaded Wonderful 101. I found Wind Waker HD for $52 used at EB games. I knew that would happen with one of them the second I downloaded the other :(
-
Take time to get the Speed Sail in Wind Waker HD. It makes traveling less tedious and the game more enjoyable in the long run.
-
Will do. I'll enjoy walking around in Wind Waker, the game looks absolutely fantastic.
-
Yeah. The artstyle is timeless. Wind Waker and Okami are great examples of games that don't need super realistic water and grass and huge pixel counts to look beautiful.
-

What would you consider a good game? Is that not subjective? The main objective when creating a game is that it will be fun, and I can see Hyrule Warriors being extremely fun. Which means it will probably be a good game. If it's Dynasty Warriors + Zelda then I don't see how that could go wrong other than the devs making a glitchy mess, which won't happen.
-
I haven't liked a Mario Kart since the original for the SNES. I think non-random items is a terrible idea. I think AI catch up and lag is a terrible idea. I think the blue turtle shell is the worst idea of all time. If they could fix those three things, then they would be wonderfully enjoyable games.

It sounds like a neat feature. I just don't like that I'm not really penalized for falling off the edge of the map. All the AI slows down, and I'm given a starman, a blue shell, and a bullet as my next three items, which puts me back in first place before the end of the lap. Only flawless driving, and a lot of luck should allow me to do that. Also, it seems impossible to lap the AI characters unless there is a second player who sucks. Furthermore, at least for Mario Kart Wii, saving a bullet for when you get back into first place is useless, as it seems that the duration of the bullet decreases the farther up you are. I think it only lasted one second.

I don't like the karting genre either, but for other reasons. It sounds like you want a more competitive racing game, maybe you should stick with Gran Turismo? Mario Kart tends to be aimed at a younger audience (hence all the hand-holding), but has a somewhat (keyword) competitive edge that appeals to some adults as well.
-
Super Mario Kart came out when I was 10, and my brother was 6. There was no hand-holding in that game, and it was very enjoyable for both of us, and he became quite adept at it. Unless they're targetting the game at children younger than 6, I don't see why they would need to dumb down the AI.
As an example, I was playing Mario Kart Wii with my sister-in-law's nephew who is 10. He self-reported as having played this game constantly, and considered himself very good at it. He wanted someone to play with him, and I handily beat him, having only ever casually played the game prevoiusly. On the other hand, I have my original copy of Super Mario Kart, and there is no way I can get anywhere close to my best times now in time trial mode, than I did when I was 10 and played constantly.
My point is that there is no motivation to improve, and it's producing mediocre gamers. This particular child also enjoys the Lego series of games, which also doesn't penalize failure.

The original Mario Kart was made during a completely different time. "Nintendo-Hard" was still a thing back then. We can speculate on why they changed their game-making philosophy all day, but it all amounts to the same thing. As an example, let's look at Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze, both these games actually have a mode that lets the computer beat the level for you if you keep dying over and over again. That's abysmal and awful game design, in my opinion. My solution? I don't play those games.
It's a mistake that many game developers make these days actually. There is an overabundance of hand-holding in many games. The Grand Theft Auto series pretty much tells you everything you need to do to beat the game: get in your car, follow this line on the mini-map, get out of your car, shoot these people, pick up their drops, get back into the car, follow this line back to the base, drop off the stuff you picked up. GTA actually says most of this stuff on the screen, eliminating the need to think for yourself to figure things out. My solution? I don't play GTA games.
(http://i.imgur.com/XXjaHVR.png)
A great example against this is Mega Man X. That game is amazing in that it teaches you how to play via the level design itself, not words on the screen or tutorials. Super Metroid also does it right.
Sorry if I'm getting off topic.

Mario Kart 8 is harder than MK7, Double Dash and MK64. Mostly because of the random shells and shit that hit you in 150cc, but it is still harder. Some of the new maps are insane to navigate, with all the tight turns, anti-grav and constantly moving ground.
After playing most of the new maps, I have to say that anti-gravity is actually quite cool.

Falling off the edge puts you last in 150cc in MK8. No two ways about it. So far I've been unable to solidify a good lead on the AI, hitting 1st for every map alone is kinda difficult. I might be a bit out of practice, but it didn't take me this long to get gud in MK7.

I like the art style a lot, it's like a mix-up between WW HD and SS. Also, Link is so gender-ambiguous here that I'm half expecting him to turn out to be Zelda (and note that he's using a "magic" bow, and that he isn't carrying a sword or a shield). That would be really neat, actually.
-
Was just about to post something about the direct.
Video link: http://e3.nintendo.com/videos/#/GisRY6h100U
I think the new Zelda game looks great, but I'm conflicted about Link's model. Obviously he will get the tunic, but he looks very Disney. I was hoping for a darker art style (like TP), but I was hoping for that before Skyward Sword and still looked the other way. I hope this new title doesn't become a bunch of fetch quests and item grinding, which was a gameplay trope the started with Skyward Sword (bug collecting, weapon upgrade system). Open world Zelda seems too good to be true.
I'm not a big fan of the amiibos. Why? Who asked for Skylanders tech in Smash Bros? No one.
-
I wouldn't say it's "obvious" that he'll get his tunic. I don't think there's been a Zelda reveal before where they showed Link without it.
Regardless of what Link turns out to be, I think the teaser strongly implies some breaking of series conventions.
-
Your Link being Zelda theory is interesting to say the least. I could totally see it going that way. Although, what's magic about the bow? S/he's using bomb arrows.
Link will still be the playable character though, I think.
I dont think they will break that many conventions though. Link is the hero of Hyrule and of Legend. The hero always has a green tunic. That is staple Zelda mythos. Link will get his tunic, but it might turn out to be later In the game.
-
Holy damn that looks good.
-
I'm still more excited about Hyrule Warriors for some reason. Zelda and Midna are playable. The game just keeps looking better and better.

Fuckkkkkk I've never been so happy in my life ffff. It's so damn gorgeous agfhwa, you cannot even feasibly imagine how I reacted when this all showed up and ajfkdlsfj. I didn't think this game's visuals would be able to live up to the expectations I've built but holy shit they smashed it. jkflajdf and that gorgeous remix of the encounter theme that played throughouttt ;wwwww;
Also I, too, was wondering if this Link was female? I guarantee you it isn't Zelda, though, and frankly you are dumb and a terrible person for thinking so. And also a murderer. It's obviously Link, due to the hair and earring and general outfit, but it might be a female incarnation of Link. There's never been anything in the mythos that said the hero couldn't be female. I honestly don't care either way if it's male or female, but a female Link would be really cool. The weird magic-tech look is really intriguing, I've always thought some of the Beamos designs and many of the areas in the games (Tower of the Gods from Wind Waker, Lanayru Mine from Skyward Sword) had a really neat aesthetic that I wanted to see explored in more depth in future games.
The size of the world is fucking wonderful, too. I really hope they get rid of linearity even more thoroughly than they did in A Link Between Worlds, and I just in general can't wait to see what other stuff they've changed and/or messed with. The focus on making it more open, akin to the original The Legend of Zelda, is something I'm really hoping to see more of.

Eugh. I don't know why people want so much grimdark Zelda. Twilight Princess was cool on its own, but I think it's better as just that one experience. It felt too gritty and grimdark "cool dark stuff" like a fanfic writer would make rather than they amazing realistic dark atmosphere (which has nothing to do with art style) of something like Majora's Mask, which is a type of Zelda I would be very willing to revisit.
I'm not a big fan of the amiibos. Why? Who asked for Skylanders tech in Smash Bros? No one.
Me, actually. :P I was talking to my nephew several weeks ago about how I'd like something like that, so I was pleasantly surprised when they were announced.
Now, for a more general post about the Nintendo Direct (I haven't watched Sony and Microsoft's press conferences yet, so):
Smash Bros. Ajkfldafj I don't know how they could get me more excited for this game at this point. The Miis being characters could have been tacky but actually seems really cool, and the whole beginning of the Direct (with Iwata and Reggie fighting) was a pretty wonderful start. The quick montage of Smash Bros 3DS gameplay hyped me up like hell. The only thing that's been consistently disappointing me about the game is all the character announcements. Rosalina? Paletuna? Little Mac? Greninja? Where are the amazing huge character announcements like Mega Man. ;o;
I'm also still upset that they went with some generic Link for Smash Bros. rather than the current incarnation like they always do. I can understand why, since this wasn't announced yet, but ajfkdslj. I hope (s)he's at least a playable character or, at the very very least, a skin. I was so upset when they still had Wind Waker Link rather than A Link Between Worlds Link, who could have had so many new moves and been a completely different experience rather than a smaller Link with different attributes.
Splatoon I'm actually pretty excited for, which I didn't expect. I was disappointed when it first showed up, but as it went along I grew more and more fond of the idea and how it looked. I would actually really love to give it a try, which is neat since I don't generally like shooters or competitive games.
Yoshi's Wooly World looks neat but I'm not really interested, the Kirby game I might try, Captain Toad could be cool since those were some of the neater parts of Super Mario 3D World. Bayonetta/Bayonetta 2 will be cool since I've never played the first before but it looks good. Xenoblade Chronicles I'll be excited to try but the trailer didn't really draw me into it much.
Hyrule Warriors looks wonderful. I'm so freaking excited for Impa and Midna. Midna was so out of left-field but she's so amazing, I'm incredibly pleased that she's going to be playable. Wow. I'm going to have such a hard time choosing between characters. ;o; And the fact that it's local multiplayer (one on the TV, one on the gamepad, so you don't need to be anywhere near one another or be splitscreen) is wondrous and I am going to use that for sure.
I can't wait for the Mario Maker game, either. That's gonna be so fun and I can't wait to see the levels people come up with.
Oh, and that fucking Star Fox U tease at the end was brilliant. Miyamoto talking about unique experiences on the Wii U all generically while, in the background, a blurred game plays that you can just vaguely tell is Star Fox but they don't say it at all. Perfect.
My biggest complaint is that the Paletuna announcement and the Zelda reveal should have been switched. Just casually showing a new Zelda like that in the middle, and using the "bonus reveal" at the end build-up to be some Kid Icarus character in Smash Bros.? Really? That could have been an amazing way to drop the bomb of a new Zelda, ending on that pan by Link's face and going to black. It would've been just as amazing as the Twilight Princess reveal and the absolute perfect way to end the direct. Ugh.
Anyway, tl;dr: Smash Bros. still looks amazing, Mii characters look cool, character announcements disappointing. Upset new Link isn't in Smash Bros, hope he/she is a new character or skin. Splatoon actually looks cool and I can't wait to try it. Yoshi's Wooly World looks okay but not interested, Kirby maybe, Captain Toad could be cool, would like to try Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles maybe. Hyrule Warriors looks magnificent, so excited for Midna. Can't wait for Mario Maker either. Star Fox U tease was brilliant. Zelda announcement should have been the bonus announcement at the end, would've been the perfect bomb to drop rather than dumb Smash Bros. character announcement. Zelda U is beautiful and perfect.

Is it fair to say that Nintendo won e3 this year?
-
Nintendo win E3 every year. Mostly because E3 is shit.
-
Also I, too, was wondering if this Link was female? I guarantee you it isn't Zelda, though, and frankly you are dumb and a terrible person for thinking so. And also a murderer. It's obviously Link, due to the hair and earring and general outfit, but it might be a female incarnation of Link. There's never been anything in the mythos that said the hero couldn't be female.
Well, obviously they wouldn't give it away at the reveal...
Anyway, sure, you'll most likely play as the game's incarnation of Link, but what if he just turns out to be Zelda over the course of the game? Kind of like what they did with Sheik... except you'd actually be playing as her.
I just don't think Nintendo is the sort of company to just change Link to female just for the sake of having him be female. There would have to be something more to it.
-
Well then, apparently Aonuma said in an interview that they "never explicitly said it was Link". Interesting.
-
Hmm, that would be odd. I'm not sure what I'd think of that. The spirit of the hero and the reincarnation of Hylia are supposed to both exist in tandem, it would be kind of weird if they were both one person suddenly. Also, I'm just generally not sure what I'd think of Zelda looking like Link, unless she's purposely in disguise as the hero, maybe because he never showed up or died or something? If that isn't Link, I really hope there is an explanation as to why they look like him, and frankly those two I mentioned are the only ones I can think of I'd be immediately pleased with.

I actually prefer his announcement to most of the other ones.

Still no sign of Game & Watch.

He'll be in there, don't worry.

I'm not a big fan of Game and Watch. I wouldn't mind if he was cut. The only character I want to come back is Mewtwo at this point. Which probably isn't going to happen.
-
G&W is an annoying fucker.
-
I thought Miis would have been a stupid addition before I watched the video for the Mii Fighters. All three move sets look pretty fun to use.
-
In two and a half hours I'll be cutting a swath through the ranks of neckbeards at Best Buy for the Smash Bros. 4 demo. I think I'll go with tried and true Fox.

It's a mistake that many game developers make these days actually. There is an overabundance of hand-holding in many games. The Grand Theft Auto series pretty much tells you everything you need to do to beat the game: get in your car, follow this line on the mini-map, get out of your car, shoot these people, pick up their drops, get back into the car, follow this line back to the base, drop off the stuff you picked up. GTA actually says most of this stuff on the screen, eliminating the need to use your psychic powers to figure out what to do. My solution? I don't play GTA games.
Fix'd.
Also, the Miis are stupid.

Wow. Fuckin' Aonuma. But what does this mean:
“That might be something that consciously we kind of did, but not to say anything specific – I am not saying anything specific – but, I am hoping people continue to comment, and I will continue to follow the fan comments and reactions to the trailer. I am certainly curious, and I am sure there are things we as developers can glean.”

I don't like Rayman for whatever reason. His aesthetic displeases me and his games are mediocre platformers (uh-oh) in my opinion. If they chose Rayman as a third party rep instead of bringing Snake back, or picking a cooler third part rep... that would be unfortunate.
But, seriously, I wouldn't boycott. I'd still buy 3 copies of the game like I was planning. I would just prefer anyone else over Rayman.

-
I think the New 3DS is an incredibly stupid move by Nintendo. It's supposedly 2x more powerful than the 3DS, and they're not advertising it as the 3DS's successor. Instead, they're going to port Xenoblade to it and hope that the "hardcore" audience eats it up. What about the people who just purchased a 2DS or 3DSxl? I've seen this compared to the DSi, but that's innacurate because the DSi was the same system with a camera and a shoddy eShop, it had a few exclusives (4 to be exact, and all of them were shovelware). It's ridiculous that Nintendo wants its customers to purchase another 3DS just so we can play Xenoblade or whatever future exclusives they have planned.
I would be less salty if they announced this as their 3DS successor, but that doesn't seem to be the case even though it's looking more and more like their next official handheld.
/endrant
-
Meh, I don't think it's enough to be the successor. Nintendo isn't quite like Sony where they just slap on some more power and call it a brand new console or handhold, they tend to want the next to be a real step up. I prefer it that way.

This is a real step up. All the technology is improved. You can view the 3D effect from an angle, the CPU/RAM is almost doubled (supposedly becoming as powerful as a VITA), the battery life is longer, it can read amiibos without an additional attachment, it has another stick, and it has exclusive games.
When I think of "next main handheld" I think of their next system that will have exclusives not compatible with their previous system. The New 3DS certainly conforms to this line of thinking.
Obvioulsy Nintendo doesn't think of this as the 3DS successor. So I don't understand why they didn't just wait a year and release the successor instead of fragmenting the market with another 3DS with better features?

Smash4 demo is available on the NA Eshop now for anyone who didn't already know (that's right, you don't need a demo code anymore). There is a 30 launch cap, after that you will no longer be able to play the demo. You can avoid this by putting the 3DS into sleep mode when you're done instead of closing the demo. There are 5 playable characters (Mega Man, Villager, Link, Mario, & Pikachu). You can access no items omega stages by pressing x on the stage during stage select. You can change the background music by holding R before it loads. The demo has local multiplayer.
HYPE.

I saw that email. Is it fun?

I saw that email. Is it fun?
I am at work now, but I will be playing it in a few hours.
I played the demo for about 10 minutes a couple days ago at my local game store. One of the employees let me try it out. It was fun. It's Smash Bros. If you've played the series then you know what to expect. It feels great on the 3ds, looks great, and there's no slow down. I was really impressed in the short amount of time I got to play it.
-
That's good news. Can't wait for the WiiU version.
-
I've been drinking and playing the demo with some friends.
Amazing. If only I could use the damn c-stick and switch it to stock battles. Villager seems a bit overpowered. He has this pocket move that grabs projectiles and puts them into his pocket. Except it can pocket more than just projectiles, like final smashes and Mega Man's charge blast.

The only reason my last 100 win percentage is so low is because this is my friend's console and game and he lost a bunch when he first got it. I don't actually have a 3DS.
(http://oi58.tinypic.com/2dl6w4w.jpg)
His friend code is 388361776443. Let's see your stats brah.
-
I'm at work now, but my stats for For Glory 1v1 are about the same. It was 80% at first, but since then it's gone down to about 60-65%. I'll post em later. And I haven't been playing since Fantasy Life came out, so I'm a bit preoccupied. But I'll add you when I get off work. Or your friend, whatever.
I think the dip happened because one night I would not give up against this guy using Little Mac. I know a lot of people complain about him, but I have a hard time fighting against him if I'm not using a projectile character. I have meteor smashed a few of them with Samus, but it's few and far between.

I don't think anyone added me :( I still have no friends on the Wii U.
I've gotten back into my groove in SSB after spending a few sessions playing with my friends, we've even gotten some practice against internationals and beaten teams despite 400 ping and other crazy levels of lag. I'm yet to play 'for glory' though. Little Mac really does feel OP as fuck, his KO mechanic I don't fully understand but seems really unfair when used properly. I'm really liking Robin and Shulk, especially Shulk as his B abilities offer so much utility.
-
I added you. My Nintendo ID is wintermute0.
I've been switching between King Dedede and Pikachu recently. They feel much better than their Brawl counterparts.
My friend mostly uses Little Mac. He can get some sneaky KO punches off, but sometimes it doesn't actually KO me. Glitch? Or maybe it's just a balance thing. The main thing I dislike about Little Mac is his knockback resistance when doing certain moves.
Most of my time has been devoted to Pokemon Omega Ruby recently, so I haven't played Smash WiiU very much. I do play the 3DS version a lot more mostly because it's portable and I still think it's a great version of the game.
Regardless, we should organize a FES smash night. Get some times coordinated so that some of us can play together.

My go-to's are still Link and Samus as I grew up with those two and I'm still good with them all these years later. I did notice that name added me but it said they hadn't played for quite a while so I assumed it wasn't anyone on here. In any case, I'll probably be having another Wii U party kinda thing this friday so I'll be on then. That's Friday AEST too :)
I had a friend who picked up King Dedede and as noob, he did quite well with him. I've never played him so I'm not familiar with his moveset but it seems he can hit quite hard and has strong recovery.
-
Yes. King Dedede is my favorite heavy character by far. I usually do not like heavy characters and prefer flexible speedy characters. Shiek is still my best, at least that's who I usually do the best with. But there is something so satisfying about rolling on people and timing hammer swings just right with the King. Dedede is a really rewarding character, and he has some decent projectile spam now (although it can really easily be hit back at you). Plus some of his animations and facial expressions are hilarious.

New 3DS coming to US February 13th for $200. But only the XL version, and it will not come with a charger (wut?).
-
They're really making a killing with the 3DS.
-
They're really making a killing with the 3DS.
Yes, but I think this is Nintendo taking advantage of the US market. They're assuming that we'll eat the new 3DS up even though every other country gets additional colors and models. Not to mention that they released the New 3DS with a charger in other countries. I am mad at Nintendo right now.
-
Seriously, what the fuck. No charger? No smaller version? I was planning on getting one since I've never owned a 3DS. But not now after this bullshit.
-
Who sells a handheld device without a fucking charger? Are they just so fucking confident that everyone in the US has an older 3DS that they decided to sell the charger separately for extra cash? Well guess what, Nintenfucks... Not everyone has a damn 3DS. Case in point, above.
-
Buy one from eBay, nerds.
-
Buy one from eBay, nerds.
3DS is region locked.
-
No, I mean buy a charger.
-
I have about 4 of them already.
-
I now think King Dedede is stupid overpowered. Bad players can easily use his B + Up to harass, stay relatively unharmed, and recover easily. Good players take advantage of his fast and powerful air attacks, his heavy hitting timed abilities, and his bouncy bomb ranged move to rack up damage and execute people.
Only way I'm able to consistently beat a Lv9 CPU using KD is to use Sonic or Greninja (someone really fast) to out-speed him and ledge camp him to death. And when you've got a person using his cheese moves (B + Up), he's hard to catch in the air and kill. Easy to dodge, but that doesn't help you win.
So annoying.
-
Everything Dedede does is easily punishable though. I spam his air normals, of course, but even those are slow. They're great for counter edge guarding, and his recovery is also great. His up+b is ridiculously punishable, and has a long wind up so that it is easy to avoid getting sat on. His spike balls can be knocked back with ease, and all his ground smash attacks have a horribly long wind up except maybe his down smash. His ground normals are pretty fast though, so its good to keep an eye out for that.
If its worth anything, I never use his up+b except to recover because I believe it to be his worst move. It locks you into the animation, and after landing the stars dissipate which makes him open to a punish. If I want to go airborne I use his already great jumps, that way I can spam normals if someone approaches me or land on someone with a forward+air or down+air.
Overall, I think most characters are pretty OP when you learn how to play them correctly. That's what makes this the most balanced Smash in the series, IMO.

That reminds me, his ground normals are also bloody annoying. That shit seems to counter everything I throw at it. I counter it by jumping him and hitting him from behind, as he can't react fast enough, but it's still annoying as fuck to get caught in that spinny hammer rubbish every time you get close.
He really only has a couple of moves that leave him vulnerable, and a good KD player/Lv 9 CPU makes sure they hit you with them most of the time. His Up + B is hard as balls to counter, I've found Sonic the only one of my go-to's capable of catching him in the air. It was a big issue when I played with my friends and we had 8 players including CPU's, KD could just spam Up + B and clean up the stage eventually, I couldn't stop it between all the people fighting me.
Overall, I think Greninja is my best option for good KD players, because I can easily deflect his ranged garbage, out speed him and edge guard well.
-
I was looking at this from a more 1 on 1 perspective. I have never played 8 player mode, and I don't look forward to it either. Strategy and mindgames go out the window, and I would imagine it being a real clusterfuck.
We should really play a round sometime.

I bought that shit instantly, given it was not only cheaper than real life options (since when is that the case with the eShop?) but I didn't have to leave the house or deal with weirdo's on eBay. Then I found out that you need a Wiimote and nunchuck to play :(
Still really happy they finally added it to the shop, wasn't expecting them to do that. Has anyone played it on the Wii? I remember the GC controls being somewhat awkward, it would seem to me that the Wii controls would be worse.

I've played them on the Wii. The first one. The controls were much better, for aiming at least. You're seriously in for a treat.
I want to get the metal box version of the Metroid Trilogy, which is why I haven't bought the digital copy yet.
-
Googling also seems to confirm that the controls with the Wiiremote are better. Now my nunchuck needs to hurry the fuck up and get here, it's been too long since I played MP.
-
Wiimote improves Twilight Princess considerably as well. That and MP benefit a lot from it.
Have you ever played Sin & Punishment: Star Succesor? Great wiimote controls.
-
Nope, I never picked up a Wii and haven't bought any Wii games besides the MP trilogy yet. So I'm a Wii noob.
-
Well I recommend Sin & Punishment if you ever find the time.

I had MP:3 on the Wii and loved the controls (Apart from flicking the Wiimote upwards to jump). When I saw that they'd remade the other two MPs on it I really wante d to get it, but then I moved out and didn't have the opprtunity to play it.
-
I was skeptical as to whether I'd enjoy the game after all these years or if it was just nostalgia prompting my play through. Now that I've sat down and played it for an hour, it's definitely lived up to the personal hype.
