The Nintendo Discussion Thread

Yup and it's excellent. I wanted to play a handful of levels before dinner the other day and ended up playing through 6 entire worlds. Out of nowhere game.

Apparently, Club Nintendo (temporarily) "sold out" of Earthbound redemption rewards:

What in the world?

I told my mother about that at dinner today and she screamed. I think she was angrier than I am and she doesn't even play video games.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

Yeah, I don't get it either. I'm just glad I got it before that nonsense & any future nonsense, lol. Nintendo sometimes just doesn't make sense. Regardless I was totally stoked to get Earthbound in some.

Old news considering it was already "back in stock" so to speak a day or so ago. Also, not a Nintendo specific issue. I've heard of this happening on multiple digital only services, including Steam. I'm not sure what the reasoning behind it is, but I'm sure there is one rather than the "lawl Nintendo gun b Nintendo" sh*t I was yesterday.

Typically, people don't do their research before jumping to conclusions.

I had no idea this was something that happened from time to time with digital downloads, but I suppose that it's possible whenever redemption codes are generated.

Haha well I could only afford the Wii U at the time, so other than the two games that came with it, Super Mario 3D Land, and Nintendoland, I've only just downloaded Zen Pinball from the eShop and dats it.

Anyone wanna friend me, my Nin ID is in my signature

Between this and your freakout over Amiibo shopping, I feel your family might need to start taking medication.

[Netkeeper]

Nah, we're just experienced in the art of comedic exaggeration. Acting ridiculously outraged at things is part of how we communicate.

I got that one too, it's a 24 hour long demo once you activate it by playing. I sent you the Wii U friend request, but I don't know how to check them, lol.

I really wish Nintendo would make it easier to add/interact with friends (I mean easier than their version of easier....). Still, I'm just freaking in love with the Wii U, I've loved everything I've purchased so far! Granted, I've only bought Nintendo titles, but they are just awesome! I believe I'll pick up Bayonetta 2 next. I have the first one for Xbox 360 but apparently the Bayonetta 2 for Wii U has both 1 & 2, so that's pretty awesome!

Is the Dragon Quest/Mario crossover board game rare? I found it for $8. I also remember reading Pikmin 3 was out of print/rare right? Because I found tons of copies for $55 but didn't know if it was worth the trouble of getting copies of these two games.

[Peanut]

Both are sorta rare. Fortune Street is one of those things I just can't imagine anyone ever caring about. Pikmin 3 could end up following in the footsteps of the previous 2 games in terms of rarity and eventual worth, which means not rare, but of decent value due to their popularity.

And really, either you want them or you don't. I don't see why how "rare" they are should matter? Especially since you constantly complain about how you have no room for things, so you'd be better off just getting Pikmin 3 digitally either way. Unless you're planning on reselling down the line.

I've been curious about it. Does anyone know if it's any good?

[Peanut]

I think it's pretty neat, but it's 3/4 Monopoly mixed with 1/4 sub-Mario Party mini-games and it's incredibly slow. You really need some people to commit to a game when you get started on it. If you get that level of commitment (which I've managed a total of ONE glorious time) then it can be incredible.

yeah for sure. i plan to get mostly Nintendo games, but there's a bunch of others i wanna get non-nintendo wise.

How are 'Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition' or Assassins Creed III, Batman: Arkham Origins, Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag? would anyone reccommend these?

[sdp]

I do have Pikmin 3 digitally, yeah I meant rare as in value whether to sell them or get copies off to people since we have plenty of copies of the game here.

Do you guys think that releasing the NX to replace the Wii U might possibly upset developers since the same thing happened to Sega when they replaced the Saturn with the Dreamcast?
