I need to pick that back up again. I got, I think, a quarter or so of the way through it and rage quit. Did the same thing with DKC: Tropical Freeze, although that was as much stress from my last semester of undergraduate as actual difficulty. Just never bothered picking either back up yet.

Earthbound Beginnings is GREAT. Not as good as Earthbound, but still fantastic. I've thought about grabbing Excitebike Vs, too.

Lots of greatness on it now.

Does anyone know if saves cross over through games on the eshop? Like with some sequels on there, will they detect save data from earlier games if you have them? I think there was some benefit with that and the Megaman Zero games, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, Wii Fit U is awesome. If you liked the original, it's just more of the same. It's got some really great fun new mini games though. It's great with friends and family.

Thank you for the heads up. I just ordered one at that low price and it's coming directly from Nintendo as well.

I haven't messed around with it too much just yet, but I'll echo Reprise; it's a great title for those trying to live a bit healthier. It's not going to shave inches off your waistline or anything, but it's great at tracking general health and helping you improve your health in a lot of little ways (balance, posture, etc). I'd definitely recommend it.
