Looks like it's still around:was the wii u mario kart bundle a one time deal? i want to pick one up and trade my 3ds and games for one and zero gamestop's in my area have the bundle heck not many even have a wii u bundle in stock. Starting to think either nintendo is going to announcing new major wii u bundles this week or some form of price drop with a new bundle.
Yes, Best Buy's site has it and my local Best Buy's have it in stock. Why the tinyURL? Trying to hide the CAG referral link?
The classic controller pro feels a lot like the Wii U Pro controller, but the Wii U Pro has more weight to it and doesn't feel as cheap as a result. Don't get me wrong, the CCP is sturdy is a nice controller, but the Pro is just nicer. Also, battery life on the Pro is so good that the idea of tethering a CCP to a Wiimote using AA batteries is, by comparison, ridiculous.I tried the classic controller pro last night and liked a lot. I don't have a Wii U Pro controller so can't compare, but I thought the CCP worked great with this game and it's pretty comfortable too.
Eneloops have their place, but in place of the Pro Controller? No ing way. The controller feels great and it has an estimated 80 hour battery life. I think I've charged it once since launch. This is one area where Sony & MS could learn something.I use eneloop rechargeables and greatly prefer that to a proprietary battery pack. They last forever and I always have a charged set to swap in so there's never any significant down time.
No, I just know that long URLs often get screwed up.Yes, Best Buy's site has it and my local Best Buy's have it in stock. Why the tinyURL? Trying to hide the CAG referral link?
Walmart's site has it in stock also.
That's the only game on that list that looks good to me at all and I played through it when it originally came out so I won't be getting it again. It's a good game though.Breath of fire sounds good to me
I think a big part of the problem is that they put in a smaller battery to save money. The one on top is the "extended battery" that they sell separately and the one on the bottom is the standard battery.Its amazing that for as good as the they made the pro controller's battery, Nintendo really dropped the ball with the gamepad's battery. I know that they are different controllers and different ball games, but still they could've made that controller better.
Agreed. I don't care about a CD/DVD/Blu Ray attachment. I want games and that's what Nintendo delivers on.If there's one thing about Nintendo that I realized watching other presentations today, it's that they aren't ashamed to make video games. For that I will always appreciate them as a company. I also appreciate that they are resisting making mobile games.
What does this even mean? :lol: Both conferences were all about games. Sony had a YouTube twitch moment but if you hadn't noticed YT is a pretty big feature in Mario Kart. Sony also had Morpheus and PStv which aren't games per se but new ways to experience games. Both showed an insane amount of games Nintendo could only hope to match on the WiiU.If there's one thing about Nintendo that I realized watching other presentations today, it's that they aren't ashamed to make video games.

Wait... what? MS & Sony's conferences showed more new IPs than in recent years that I can remember and you're rooting for the company that in the last year has pumped out Mario Kart 8, two Smash Bros games, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong County TF, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Yoshi's Island 2, Mario Golf, Kirby, etc. along with NSMB&L and 2 Zelda games in the works (coupled with Wind Waker)... need I go on. Sorry, but that's the funniest thing I've read on the internet the past few days. Nintendo hasn't been a source for new IPs in at least a decade if not longer. Pikmin is the newest IP on that list and that came out on the Gamecube in 2001, nearly 15 years ago.Honestly I think it wont be that hard for Nintendo to 1-up them, for me at least. I mean most of both their presentations were games that I already knew were coming and are sequels or did not look wildly different than the norm.
Not that they were bad or anything, but I am tired of brown shooter 7,000,000, lol.
Here is hoping we see something new.
Imo the differences between between COD 48, Halo HD remaster rehash from 10+ years ago, MK X, YouTube on the PS are very black and white compared to what Nintendo is doing.Wait... what?

Ah! :O That image makes me want to let out a screech too high for a man to make. And I don't even love Star Fox.
So Mario rescuing Peach and Link rescuing Zelda is a new story? Come on man. These are not new experiences no matter how much you rationalize it. Outside of Activision whoring out CoD, Guitar Hero and before those, Tony Hawk, Nintendo is the worst offender in the industry. Yes their games are a blast but they are hardly new experiences every time out. Playing as a wolf or wearing a cat suit are not new experiences, they are new mechanics inside the same old experience. A better analogy to being a wolf or wearing a cat suit is new weapons or armor sets in CoD or jetpacks Halo. I've said it before but want to give me a new Zelda experience? Make Zelda the protagonist. That would be a new experience. As it stands the Mario & Zelda games are no different that CoD or Halo. The only difference is the timeframe in which they are released.They rehash just as the other two companies, but the huge difference is it is never the same experience. The core elements will always be there, you'll see new characters but also old ones, yet you won't feel like this is nothing but a game with updated looks, & the same story.
:lol: You just described every Mario Kart and every Mario game (Galaxy aside) in existence. Mario Kart 8 is Mario Kart 64 with wall driving. Other than that it's simply better visuals and new maps. Super Mario 3D World? A 3D-ish version of NSMB.They make games, not new maps & better graphic upgrades.
