Shocking revelation!:

Yeah, there was Mario Bros. stuff as well if I recall correctly.That's gonna be quite the collection of special items/costumes if all of it ends up being included in MH4U. :awesome:

Ah, that makes sense I guess.Cheers.

So what exactly is the deal is with automatic software updates? A few days ago I decided to chuck a disc in my Wii U for the first time in ages (to check the drive was still functional after such a long break ) which happened to be The Wonderful 101, and I was surprised when it started downloading and then installing an update. I've had standby connection and automatic updates enabled on my Wii U for quite a while now, and always thought that meant the console kept everything up to date automatically (@Dcubed, pretty sure you mentioned this on here before) but that definitely didn't happen in this case. Anyone else had to manually update a game since enabling standby functions?

So there is. And it seems like my best is actually 81! When the hell did that happen?: Some new weapons, maps and game modes too: N-E's Hyrule Warriors review by @Cube is now up, for those still undecided on the game: http://www.n-europe.com/reviews/hyrule-warriors : peace: Now isn't this a lovely and unusual sight : Finally had a Network Link appear in my Adventure Mode too, it's a LV.21 Maidens (aka @Sprout): I managed to win the battle too (which was pretty damn tough) so you should be getting a reward... You're welcome. Let me know what you get.

Funnily enough I just managed 71 as Sheik:

It's pretty satisfying when you get a bunch of enemies with the special attack. :awesome: I'm getting a bit better at it now:

Nah, you're alright.

Probably, yeah. Steam definitely will, which means I'm likely to end up getting it on there after all.

Either way, it's basically going up against Smash now... ouch. Not much chance of me getting this at launch anymore. Such a shame they couldn't get the game out over here (on Wii U & 3DS) a bit earlier.

Wowzers! These crossovers are completely mental.

Crazy. Nintendo are nuts for not getting a proper Pokémon game on the Wii U.

They're sometimes hidden in rocks, and they disappear after a while too. On one stage I spent too long looking (could hear the bastard, but couldn't see it ) and when I finally spotted him he vanished just as I was about to attack. I'm trying to get to grips with Adventure Mode. Are the online aspects supposed to work right away, or do you have to progress a bit first? Not seen any other players (random or friends) on my map yet.

I just attacked a cucco, funny stuff.

True. :p Something I'm not too keen on with this game is how the special move targets enemies based on the direction your character is facing, rather than the camera view. I frequently get about 4 enemies in those attacks as a result. It's so disappointing when you turn around afterwards and see about a million enemies standing there that you could have just killed in one go. Hopefully I'll get better at setting up/timing those attacks with more practice.

This game makes my eyes bleed, think I need to get a bigger TV/better eyes. Enjoying it though. Yeah, and the sound design on some of the cutscenes is ridiculous. "Ohh", "uhh", "ohh", "hey", "ahh", "eeh", "ouh", "ahh", "ugh", "oou", "ahh", etc... Seriously, it'd be better if the characters were just completely silent.

Beginning of this vid made me laugh:

Wrong on so many levels.

Hehehe. Yeah, I can't believe they included something like that for this type of game. Will definitely give it try, but don't see it being a viable option in order to play the game well.

Although I'm definitely going to play through Bayonetta 2 first, I'm still looking forward checking out the Wii U version of the original. Especially as I've only played the PS3 version (apparently an awful port of the 360 game) which other than some pretty bad screen tearing I actually thought was fine. But anyway, the smoother frame rate + Nintendo costumes should make replaying it even more awesome.

Wednesday GET!? Nice. From ShopTo?

It'll probably be a bargain bin purchase for me at some point. So disappointed that isn't in this Theatrhythm either. I know it's just 1 track, but its omission is still one of the main reasons I won't be getting this game at launch.

I'd rather get playable Tingle as DLC, but yeah... ShopTo have processed mine as well.

This image isn't from a random store though, it's from an official Nintendo website. What the hell is that?

That date has appeared again, this time on one of Nintendo's sites: @Dcubed, changing your prediction yet?
