  1. I was looking at this bundle today while doing some shopping and admit that I'm interested in picking up a Wii U bundled like this.

    Guilty pleasure would be picking up Lego City Undercover for the Wii U.... To me it's the killer app for the system.

    Makes you wonder what will happen to sales when the PS4 and Xbox One are out. Perhaps a bit of patience will be worth it? Could there be another price drop in the new year?

    When ps4/xpos are nowhere to be found, i think the wii u will do fine.

  2. Sure, how about a $30 game from atariage as a small wager. if I am wrong you will be happy and if not I am cool with a nice little game. Yes, Wii U, has issues, mainly a lack of titles, though what will those titles be,Original Wii was quite different for titles and did quite well and was number one for 2/3 of the last cycle. There of course are other factors, new controllers,timing etc with the original Wii, however much will be determined by if or when Wii U gets those "not xbox, sony " titles that others like myself are more interested in buying.

    I just remember last console war when everyone expected ps3 to run away with it all and that was not what happened,meaning who knows how it will play out, I am better M$ pissed off lots of people.

    Just need to say this, there is no lack of titles now. I have a growing wii u backlog and it is only getting bigger. Games are there and more is on the way. I think this new mario bundle is going to help especially since wii u will be available when the other systems will be scarce. Xenoblade will drive some sales if the shit ever comes out.

  3. Hm, I've only played the single player missions, but I don't think that I had any sound problems, just some graphical issues. Nothing which hindered gameplay, but it was apparent that it wasn't right (like being able to see through my character multiple times).

     

    Definitely forgivable, considering the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. If only the Vita's Call of Duty game would have been done at this level (and included zombies).

    And more than 5 tiny maps, not a half assed story mode, and didnt kick you out of lobbies.
  4. Looks like this bundle isn't a limited edition and this will be the standard Wii U product @ $299 starting November 1st. No more Nintendoland pack-in.

     

    Two people that I know who had purchased a Zelda bundle to put under the Christmas tree are now returning it and buying this instead. Getting the Mario game and Luigi DLC is a much better value and you can buy Zelda WW on disc for less than NSMBU alone.

    Zelda bundle will be worth more later...would like to have the zelda controller.

  5. A lot of articles I've read online, and a lot of friends I've spoken to about the PC market, feel that we're actually entering a new 'golden age' for PC gaming. There are several reasons for that: console burnout and people wanting to game on cheaper and simpler machines, the success of crowdfunding (like Kickstarter) to bring in new games onto the PC, the huge rise of online gaming markets such as Steam and GOG to bring in added exposure, companies continuing to make PC versions of console games so as not to lose that market share, and a growing gap between consoles and PC's, meaning there are some games that more then ever are suited best for a PC.

    . Still feel like the mid to late 90s were the golden age. Quake, unreal and diablo.......memories.
  6. Everything "new" at Gamestop is OPENED and HAS STICKERS ALL OVER IT. That's lame.

    . Everything doesnt have stickers. They give you sealed copies unless there is only one left..then you get the display case. Either you guys have some really shitty gamestops or everyone ive purchased from has been the exception.
  7. Pulled the same shit on me with quake 4. That has been the only time i felt lied to and ripped off by gs.

    I've had a few bad times but most of the time I've had no issue.I remember trying to buy Tron 2.0 a few years ago. I asked if they had a copy and sure enough they did. It apparently was classified as "new" and was a display copy. But they couldn't locate the case yet they were going to charge me the new price for the game. So not only did they open it but they weren't even going to give me the original case for it.Another time I wanted Quake IV for the Xbox 360. I mainly wanted it to play Quake II which was a bonus that was a standard part of the package. I explained that and told them that I believed it was on a separate bonus disc. The clerk ringing me up wasn't sure and her colleague next to her assured her it was on the same disc. Got home and before opening it I checked online and sure enough it came on a bonus disc. Went back the next day and the same girl initially refused to give it to me until I jogged her memory of being lied to the day before.Then not long ago I had a couple of dollars of cash on me and a bit of change. I used that to get a game that was priced at $2.99 or something like that. I didn't have any pennies and couldn't do exact change and was due a few cents back. Yet this 18 something clerk got flustered about a half dozen coins into the dozen I gave him as he was counting and gave up and put everything into the register. Not sure how one can't manage to count a dozen quarters, dimes, and nickels, but this one sure couldn't handle it.Then another time I got burned on some GBA cartridges I ordered online that were bootlegs. I quickly learned how to identify a legitimate cartridge and would ask the few times I bought a used one at GameStop to look at it first. One time the clerk gave me a bizarre look, I explained why I was asking, yet he denied my request and said he "wasn't allowed to do that". So without saying a word, I just walked out.

  8. In case anyone is interested, the white Wii U Pro Controller is now on clearance at Best Buy for ~$11. The black Pro controller is still full price but since the Basic model Wii U is going away it looks like they won't be selling white Pro controllers anymore. If you don't care about the controller color...

    well gawdamn, I have to check that out now.
