Same here, it was a huge turn out, not bad for being a Best Buy where no one lives or whatever Wombat said. The guy let us pick whatever we wanted though (got a Luigi hat). I got to play Mario Kart, the guy said the obvious "This is not the final build, blah, blah, blah." I had a hell of a time playing it. Nothing much to say other than it's Mario Kart and it's fun now. I'm sure they took out the blue shell for the demo so everyone can have fun with the game. After I was done, I watched everyone else play the other four games. Like knight said, I'm sure Saturday will be crazy.Tons of people showed up at the Best Buy I went to. I had to wait an hour before I got a chance to play Super Mario 3D World. I wished they had more than one demo kiosk. Nintendo Rep didn't allow anybody to choose the luigi loot they wanted here. He gave them out based on how well you did in the demo. Got a 25 page Wii U guide pamphlet, and luigi hat.

This. It's not the loss of exclusivity that bothered me about that, it was the six month delay that was announced two weeks before the street date because of the loss of exclusivity. At two weeks out, the game was finished, so it's clear they were trying to make a statement to Nintendo by doing what they did.I'm pretty sure they just have said no exclusives til sales pick up, Which is fine. I don't think anyone would've cared about Rayman going to PS3/360 if it had come out for Wii U 4 months ago like it was supposed to.
I prefer this article from Polygon about a statement (interview) Reggie gave:
You just know that's a shot at EA given how vocal of an opponent to used games they've been and are arguably the most annualized titles publisher.That spontaneous reaction, Fils-Aime said, was likely not just a message to Sony, but "probably a bigger one to the [publisher] who went earlier in the day."
He gets it.
Stuff like these are one reason why I love Nintendo.I prefer this article from Polygon about a statement (interview) Reggie gave:
If you're worried about used game sales, make better games
There's really no reason they couldn't bring in programmers familiar with HD games to consult or focus on graphics. They released few games (3?) during the last two years of Wii, and Wii U hardware was unveiled two years ago at E3. I see a management problem, not a time problem. Level design, game concepts etc can be restricted to trusted staff, but programmers were probably beating down their door looking for jobs. They sound like control freaks, and it's costing them."Our focus is always on delivering the highest quality content, and simply increasing the development team size isn't going to allow you to achieve the level of quality that we strive for. You really have to kind of bring those people up gradually and help teach them how to develop games in order to achieve that consistent quality level."
I'm actually stuck in that game. It's early on and I can't seem to get past one area. I think I'm just approaching it wrong. There's a log and a bridge. You seem to have to get the timing just right to get past it. I'll take another look.What about Trine 2? I used the touch controls so much I stopped looking at the tv.
He gets it. He understands why I still own a game boy camera even though I own a 15 mp Canon Rebel T1i. I could still go back and screw around with the games on there and have fun.
You said the magic words. Gonna preorder the disc. Thanks. Besides my internet is shitty enough where $10 will save me the hassle, lol.Apparently, the Super Luigi U Disc is only in print for 2013. While its $10 more, seems like its a good investment for the future if its rare like metroid trilogy, mario all-stars, etc.
The green case is limited? :OGood to know. I honestly wonder how many people are in the same boat as I am... I'm buying the digital on Thursday, and I pre-ordered the physical one as soon as it went up on Amazon. I didn't want to wait, but I also want a physical version. By doing it this way, Nintendo has effectively made this a $50 title for a lot of people. Announcing it as 'limited' is only going to stoke that.
Plus, green case. C'mon. I can't not.
Mmm. Green case.
I think it's limited in the sense that the game will only be in print for this year. All copies should be in green cases.The green case is limited? :OGood to know.

Super Mario All Stars Limited Edition, not only are the games all downloadable but they're on just about every Nintendo platform. People tend to go a little crazy when anything Nintendo related goes out of print. Animal Crossing City Folk was a player's choice not too long ago and now it's going for $30 used and more for new...Unlike Metroid Prime and Xenoblade, the disc isnt the only way to play the game.
I hope so as well.I'm still holding out hope they'll run some kind of promo on the eShop for picking up both NSMB U and the Luigi U DLC at the same time.
