Wii-U thoughts so far

[SonicGamer74]

Closest thing to a Wii U golf game?

Was this even good? I think I remember reading on Video Game Critic saying it was awful, but the user score for the game was decent.

Gettin' way off topic now. Sorry.

I'll get us back on topic.

I bought Gummy Bears Mini-Golf for the Wii over weekend. I do not think it will be valuable. Mini-Golf Resort is disconcertingly pricey, however, but I will still add it to my collection of Wii golf games at some point.

My Wii golf games collection currently consists of:

Carnival Games Mini Golf
Gummy Bears Mini Golf
Kidz Sports Crazy Golf
King of Clubs
The Masters: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2012
Super Swing Golf
Super Swing Golf Season 2
We Love Golf!

How is Carnival Games Mini Golf? Found that one at GameStop recently but wasn't in good shape.

[retrosportsgamer]

Sadly, yes...

I think it would have been cool to see some of the recent HD versions of EA's PGA Tour games ported to the WiiU, but I don't think we'll see it.

EA gave them that one shot with Madden and FIFA (fwiw, those are sub $20 new now - apparently not scarce) and that's going to be it.

I agree with both of you guys (@SonicGamer74 and prfsnl_gmr).

The reason I have been holding out is for the prices on the games to fall and, I have some of those games on my want list and hope I can pick them up gradually.

So Project Zero/Fatal Frame 5 is being released in the West! Anyone else excited?

Very.

Why can't they pack in an HD version of 4 while they're at it?

Very excited, despite having no experience with the other games in the series.
I'm down with getting it, though. It looks really awesome.

Never too late. Fatal Frame 2 is one of the best.

So a game is coming out on the 9th for the Wii-U through the eShop, Affordable Space Adventures, an exclusive indie title that is one of the few to use the game pad in unique and interesting ways. In it you play an explorer, who crashes onto a planet and have to repair it and survive. What makes it interesting is that the gamepad is necessary as you use it to control and adjust the ships numerous parts. You divert energy to various parts of the ship and use all the different parts of it to scan the area and solve puzzles to continue on.

The game features 3-player multiplayer where one player flies the ship, another controls the flashlight, flares and scanner and the third is the one running the gamepad managing the resources and controlling the ships various systems.

This looks like an absolute joy to play, solo or with a group as you explore. Hope we see more like this!

So, just out of question, what did everyone get from that Club Nintendo shutdown on April 1st?

I got Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Mainly because I had the other games (sans Super Mario Kart) in physical format already, and I love the Mario RPG games Nintendo has made. They're extremely quirky, in my opinion. Probably why I keep Paper Mario: TTYD in my favorite Gamecube games.
