Nintendo WiiU : Thread 05

[ShadowDancer]

Na man its brill, couldnt recommend it enough!

Does it get challenging base, rainbow stars e.t.c?

I only watched the same early gameplay vids as I only know 8 of the games and I want the other 8 to be a surprise, also, not watched past the 1st few challenges of the 1st 6 games (again, not to spoil it) but really want to know how easy/hard it is? (for a pro gamer lol)

NES Remix Pack is getting a US release AFAIK on the 5th Dec. Anyone know if there is a PAL Retail disk coming?

I'd like to know this as well. Would prefer a physical copy over a download if I'm honest.

Well, it doesn't look like my copy of Smash will arrive tomorrow. Didn't get a shipping email until almost 8pm so I contacted them and they told me it had been delayed coming in so delayed going out.

Angry as I have the day off tomorrow but it won't arrive until Saturday,

I had enough money saved for a Wii U, but, I bought a new (well Pre-owned) Turntable with most of the money.
I do 100% intend to by a Wii U, but, I will have enough again in the next few weeks and it was also with the thinking in-case any good Christmas deals come with it getting so close.

I'm 100% sure in my mind I will love Nes Remix as my brother and me play retro games all the time. I would prefer a Physical copy tho if its going to come here...not that I am anti download, I just prefer tangible, I'm the same with music e.t.c too

I'm planning on getting one as well, along with mario kart, hyrule warriors and smash bros (already have a Yoshi Amiibo, yay) but I'm waiting till after the holidays. My bday is coming up as well so that might all fund the new console ^^

Should of just gone to a store if you wanted it guaranteed for today surely?

Only place near me that sells Wii U is GAME and I refuse to buy from them. So, no.

[Nu-Eclipse]

It's utter madness that GAME is now effectively the only mainstream high street retailer of Nintendo products in the UK.

Nintendo should be looking to rectify this, but I suspect they won't.

[speedlolita]

HMV stock Wii U games too.

Really? I thought they got rid of their Nintendo stock? You can certainly find more than a few HMV stores that don't stock any Nintendo products.

[fishbowlhead]

Unless big hitters like this and mario kart, million sellers, were released on a monthly basis guaranteed, the situation won't change for the wiiU on the high street. Even then it would only be nintendo made games, 3rd parties won't support it anymore, even though it's perfectly capable of running multi format games no problem.

True. Their game stock generally is thin on the ground.

My local (Kingston) has Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Bayo 2 SE and the rest of the usual suspects, 3DS titles too.

Ditto. Amazon have failed in delivering my game. Pre-ordered Super Smash Bros. with GC adapter and GC Joypad (along with 2 Amiibo's). Recieved an email yesterday informing me that the GC Joypad was delayed until Tuesday and that they were refunding me partial postage for the Yoshi Amiibo (which doesn't make sense, as they appear to be on route) along with a ?3 voucher for the delayed joypad.

However this morning I logged in to be greeted by another email informing me both the game and joypad are now 19th December. Have immediately ordered from Nintendo's official store and cancelled with Amazon.

Really annoyed and I get angry becuase when a retailer screws up on this sort of scale a sodding ?3 voucher does not cut it. If they guarantee items for a particular date then they should be giving those out for free or a far more substantial compensation when they fail. Anyway off to complain to Amazon.

As my post above. You always had the option of getting from a store. There's plenty of copy's in my local game, smithys toys and Argos, that was without even looking for it.

Or even buying off the wiiU online store, that really is a guarenteed day one, no messing around.

Expecting a guarenteed copy via post is a little unrealistic don't you think?
