It didn't seem to sell that well, and the prices are staying pretty high. >$30 used and up to $65 new.

It's really hard to say if it'll increase in value or not just like anything but it's one I'm keeping my eye on in that aspect.

^ Makes sense, yeah I saw some eBay completed New sales that were upwards of $40 - so it's hanging close to its original MSRP this long after release. That's a good tell.

Sidebar: that game not having co-op play was one of the most disappointing WiiU experiences I've had. I get why they'd make that change since I'm sure it was tiresome in single player to always switch back and forth to the character that could solve puzzles or whatever.

On world 7, 3 star on every map so far, except the level 4 ghost house. Stamps on most. Great title, even if some of the stars were in jerk places.

That's awesome.

I beat the game a while back, but I've been going back to it every so often to 100% it (with each character). Oh, and I don't believe I've beaten the last last level.

But yeah, awesome game.

My wife and I started playing it on level 1-1 last night around 2000, got to level 4-1 before we realized it was past midnight. It is really amazing title, exactly what I wanted out of it. I just wish Princess could float alittle longer. It does not make up for her slower foot speed.

After playing the train in world 3, my wife declared this was the most fun she has had with a game since Terraria - which is a huge honor since shes got like 2000+ hours in Terraria.

My girlfriend and I have been playing it recently, too, and we're almost done getting all the stars and stamps, minus

I haven't 100% it with all characters, and I probably won't, but I've used Peach more than any other character simply for the float. My girlfriend uses Rosalina as she always needs something to attack with other than the bop.

Blu wrote:Searching RF Generation, I see 136 retail titles for Wii U; that does not include collector's editions or variants. I count 114 (give or take my counting skills) retail games for Wii U. That's not horrible if you're looking to complete a set of the games. Some of it is still filler, but I just added 17 games to my wishlist on RF Generation of some really good quality games. I completely forgot Darksiders II came out on Wii U.

The number of games is more than enough to justify the console purchase, but in comparison with current and past generation consoles its a very low number.

This article says Nintendo is "transforming" its IPs as a form of change to gain back their sales...whatever transform means.

My Wife and I had a blast playing through 3d world, until we got to the level that changes every time you jump...I remember after many frustrating attempts declaring "This level is going to cause people to get a divorce!" I then just picked her up and ran through the whole level like that.

Those look great!

I think Miiverse is awesome, but I never really use it. I have a lot of posts on Miiverse, but it's all from playing with the camera in Wind Waker. That was a really fun addition to the game.

You know what Miiverse needs? An "Everybody Votes" kind of thing, like we had on the Wii. That would make me check Miiverse often.
