Wii-U thoughts so far

[vatermuzik]

This may have already been brought up but I feel compelled to bring attention to it just in case. Target Canada has some ridiculous prices on Wii U stuff at the moment. I just got a pro controller for $25. They also have wii remotes for $20 and nunchucks for $10. Some games are also on sale.

Are any Americans seeing these sales as well?

God damn it Nintendo, am I forever cursed to want to buy EVERYTHING you make? I haven't missed a single Ninty system since the GBA

You're not the only one....I really want it too.

They say amiibo and nfc figures and I see another thing for me to collect

I'm still a bit skeptical of how they will be used. The implemenation of them in Smash doesn't sound that exciting but if I can somehow use them to play as Samus in Mario Kart then I'm in. XD

Well we'll be able to use them on 3ds as well so that's a plus(there's a adapter for it for 3ds )

What I really want to see them do is unlock special costumes and characters in other games. For example in Fire Emblem Wii U you can get Link as an in-game character . Or in Kirby you can use them to get an instant power-up based on the various characters, which powers are not available in game through other means.

That Kirby idea sounds like a ton of fun.

[darsparx]

Yeah but the fact we want it like that means we probably won't get it

I just thought of the most evil use of Amiibos. Getting Mew, Celebii and all the other event Pokemon. Want to catch them all? Pay 5€ for a Mew figure and get him in game (one use per figure).


But another good idea would be a Pokeball or heck even any random pokemon amiibo, being able to store data for 6 pokemon, and you could take it to a friend's house and battle pokemon on the Wii U version of Pokemon Stadium.

That would be amazing...of course I wonder if those things could store that much data....
