Yes. During the check-out process there's an option to add "funds as needed." It's not a well-advertised feature but it's there. For all the shit Nintendo gets wrong with digital distribution, other platforms desperately need this.
PSN makes you fund your account with a minimum of $5 so if what you want to buy is more than $5 you have to either spend $5 or have extra money in your account.
Agreed. First game since Super Mario 3D World where I have to make myself turn it off so I don't blow through the whole game too quickly.
Yeah, it is pretty fun and it is one of those games that does coop right on the Wii U, in that one person can have the full Gamepad screen and the other can have the full TV screen. Unlike, say, freaking Mario Kart.jza1218 said:
From what I've read its a matter of controls, mobility, and if you eventually want the coming 4 player VS that wont be on 3DS.
I have no issues playing on the 3DS, but I don't really find the d-pad all that awkward. For what it's worth, 3D effect is brilliant (though I always say 2D layering makes the most impressive, instantly noticeable 3D effect).
You'll have to enjoy it on my behalf. I have what is known as nonbinocular vision - basically, my eyes don't work together the way they should, and as a result I can't see 3D, whether it's movies or the 3DS. Also, my depth perception just sucks, I've never been good at judging distances like when hitting a baseball or parking my car.
Man that sucks, though I wonder if I have something similar (or to a degree?) Most "3D" effects are VERY underwhelming for me and for example in 3D movies I often have to look over the glasses, then back at the screen to see the subtle difference. The one exception is 2D sprites layered (like Shovel Knight)
Totally forgot about the Digital Deluxe thing. I don't think I've even been on that page since launch. lol
Yeah, I had heard about that in other threads. So the free game with Mario Kart essentially comes with a $5 digital credit as well. I'm getting two freebies (Pikmin 3 and probably Zelda) since I bought a second copy of Mario Kart and sold it as used without the code for $50-ish (it was one I got from Best Buy for a discount + that $10 "gas card" promo). So that means $10 more in digital credit which was an unexpected bonus.Corvin said:

Bestbuy business shows it for $35, I showed them that and they price matched the white controller for me.Any idea why Best Buy is carrying the white Pro Controller again? I found some and was so excited, only to have the guy check the price and see they're still $50 and not on clearance now...
In any case, the problem is when your eyes don't work together the way they're supposed to. From what I've read it tends to be a matter of degrees versus a strictly black and white thing. For example, someone with only one eye will never see any 3D that depends on manipulating the way your eyes process layered imagery (obviously). Both my eyes work, but I only look directly out of my right eye. I have 20/20 vision in my right eye so it's not usually a problem, but my left eye getting used less makes the muscles weaker over time.
I have a 3ds and have a Club Nintendo account. I will keep an eye on those websites. I am selling my old ipad 2 to a friend and that should more or less cover the entire purchase....I was hoping to find a deal through best buy, as I have 60 dollars of credit to their name.
I used to think that as well, but my 7 year old really can't tolerate the 3D for the 3DS and has to play the games with the slider off at all times. The 2DS is a great item for kids like her.
Well, I caved and picked up the Super Mario Bros. U Bundle for $275+tax. I got MK8, Zelda HD and Mario 3D Land for $100+tax as well. Going to start playing this weekend.
.It's so worth it at this point. With MK8 you get to DL Pikmin 3 or WiiU Party for free if you register on Club Nintendo - definitely get Pikmin 3. It is amazing.
I do the same thing.
Could be, but I have an astigmatism and I don't get headaches from using the 3d, even without my glasses and with the slider all the way up. I just don't enjoy the 3D, so I leave it off.
It's kind of cool for a novelty for a minute or two. Seeing things swirl around in space. Then you turn it off to play the game.
No way they'll do that, it would fragment their customer base and piss off the millions who bought the "old" model. Wii U hardware is set in stone for the life of the console, unfortunately; you'll only see better hardware on their next console (if they even release one). The only exception to this is a newer model with more storage; I could see them releasing a 64gb or 128gb model down the road, but even that is questionable.
I say it's unlikely based on console history. Nintendo redesigned the NES, SNES, and Wii at end of life mainly to have a cheaper version to squeeze out some more sales. N64 and Gamecube had no revisions.
