Yeah, I'm more likely to go for 3D World as I wasn't a fan of the handheld NSMB games but World looks really good and I loved the 3DS one.

Were you guys able to register your Wii U for stars? I followed the instructions but hit a point where I just wasn't getting the same options that are on the Nintendo site. It's possible you can't any more due to discontinuation of Club Nintendo although the info page seems to have been updated recently enough and it doesn't mention that consoles can't be registered.
Edit: Yeah Nintendo got back to me. You can't register Wii Us any more.Last edited by Dogg Thang; 18-05-2015, 09:18.Comment

NES Remix - worth using up some stars on?Comment

I didn't like it personally, others think it's great. If you are just using stars though, could be worth a bash.
How are you finding the WiiU Dogg?Comment

So far so good. Once all the updates were out of the way (LONG process) and got stuck into Mario Kart 8, I was grinning happily. It's the game I got the system for (that and I know it has games that will suit my girls) and it certainly hasn't disappointed. MK8 is beautiful. The tracks are gorgeous and I love the feel. The only thing I'm not 100% convinced about are the anti-grav bits but they may grow on me. The Animal Crossing track is a real treat in particular.
Aside from that, I have only played a bit of Wind Waker. Got to admit, I'm not a huge WW fan and I'm at the Forsaken Fortress and not loving it at all. But it looks really pretty and I'll play more. I might even finish it this time around.
I haven't tried anything else at all on it. The menus all look nice, sounds are lovely and I do like that you can shift gameplay to the control pad - that could be really handy when my wife wants to watch the TV. Although it doesn't seem to work all that far away from the system - that's not a big deal, I guess.
Will happily hear other thoughts on NES Remix!Comment

Gave Captain Toad another go this morning. Trading it in later to put towards Splatoon next week. Sad really, but as a standalone game it just wasn't as fun as those bits of Mario 3D World.Comment

Like the look of this, and like a lot of Shin'en's stuff so have decent expectations for Racing Neo

Yes I'm quite interested in thisComment

It's alright, but you and your daughters have more mind-blowing things to play right now. 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Smash (maybe?). Perhaps try to find yourself a cheap copy of ZombiU from somewhere.Originally posted by Dogg Thang View Post
I'd recommend Splatoon with it being cheap, and fun, and accessible, and everything. I'm absolutely bumming it all over, and if this doesn't stop it could well turn out to be my favourite game of all time, knocking Perfect Dark from it's 14 year #1 spot.
What is your NNID? I take it you will be adding some lovely drawings to Miiverse?

You can't trade stars for those games though, and using up his stars is Dogg's goal I think.Comment

It was but I'll happily accept other recommendations too as I have a library of Wii U games to build up! And the way it is going at retail over here, I expect some games will vanish never to be seen again.
Actually I downloaded the demo for ZombiU and I was REALLY impressed. The only thing I'm not sure about on that one is just whether I really want to play a horror game in the near future. I bought the Wii U for fun bright games! Also tried the demo for Bayonetta 2. Am I right that the idea is she strips the more she fights? A modern take on Sam Fox's strip poker only with a bit of DMC?
Half tempted by Mass Effect 3 only because I saw it for next to nothing at argos and I have never played a Mass Effect game before.
My NNID is DoggThang... I think! Will check it. I sent out some invitations but I don't think anyone accepted any! Let me know what yours are and I'll send out requests if I haven't already.Comment

Just answer me this, can you control your own bot team members in splattoon, give them quirky combat personalities and even issue comands on the fly? hmmmm, hmmmm can you?
Incidentally id forgotten id ordered splatoon and packed my wiiu to store it for a while. Should get it back out at some stage.
edit. @ dog thang, mass effect 3 is worth the ?5 it can be had for now days, gave me a chance to finish the trilogy (and a great trilogy at that), not to mention its a technically very good version, looks lovely and runs smoothly.Comment
