I got them for 100 or so stages before learning that the reward for all rainbow stars was Sweet F.A. so I kind of lost the motivation at that point.

Oh no! I'll never get to play the rest of the game if this continues.

My copy has been dispatched! :awesome: Wednesday GET? Which of you pervs guys are getting this?

You underestimate the 'last bonus stupid thing', especially if you're going for 3/Rainbow stars. But anyway, nice one on getting DK. Enjoy! : peace:

Only on a few stages so far, I'll go back and collect the rest after I beat the game. So yeah, not done any K stages yet. Looking forward to 'em though, they sound brutal. Do they also feature Time Attack mode? Please say no.

Ah yeah, it's probably the same deal with this game.

I was at the same point last night, and also planning to leave the world 4 boss for today, but after 2 hours of replaying 1-1 I wanted to see something different so took it on there and then. It's actually a much quicker boss to beat than any of the previous ones, or it felt like it at least. Are the gold medals on Time Attack part of getting 100%? To be honest, I can't see myself getting gold on every stage either, some of them are quite difficult to even complete, let alone speed run.

"FUCKING GET IN THERE!!!!" I literally shouted that just now, having spent around 2 hours trying to beat your time on 1-1 @tapedeck. This game + online leaderboards/replays = digital crack. And damn, you weren't kidding about the blisters.

Interesting idea.It'd be funny if at E3 Nintendo suddenly announced a shitload of new games and 3rd party devs came back in full force, meaning you'd have way too many games to play. No need to worry about that though.

For sure. Still lot of games for me to check out on that. Might get Dark Souls II next month as well, just trying to work out if it's something I'd enjoy. The first game was recommended to me, but I never got around to playing it so figured I'd wait for the sequel anyway. Yeah, I mean it's not so much about noticing the drought, just that I'm utterly amazed Nintendo got themselves in this situation in the first place.

Now that DKCTF has been spoiler tagged in to the history books looking at the list really shows just how dire the situation is. 94 days to go until MK8 and not one other confirmed Wii U retail release before or even after that. Absolutely crazy. I honestly never thought the Wii U would find itself in this position, certainly not in the first few years at least. Nintendo fucked up so bad it's unreal.

Nice one! Looking forward to taking that on. I haven't played this very much recently, been addicted to Weapon Shop on 3DS. Plus I really want to try and make DKCTF last as long as possible, until around... I dunno, May?

Plus there are still a few collectables to obtain and quests to beat. And even just going back and creating master versions of weapons (only managed 1 so far) or weapons with special attributes/attacks is fun. So there's probably a few more hours left in the game before everything is 100% complete, or I get bored. Yep, not sure exactly how much more, but will keep you posted. Someone replied to my Miiverse post with: Hopefully they're right. As the game was never really difficult at all, and I only ever lost a few weapons (aka failed quest) in my entire playthrough up to the Evil Lord.

Defeated the Evil Lord! Well, the weapon that I made did. Gameplay time to do so was just under 9 hours.

Yeah, the writing is brilliant. Caught this on the Grindcast earlier which really made me laugh: I normally forge any weapons that I don't have in stock (not anymore though, as I've now made all the ones that are currently available ) or polish weapons in between customers.It's amazing how such monotonous activities can be so enjoyable, but I really do enjoy playing this game. Up to level 7 weapons now, and the crafting process is getting a bit more complex, which is good. I hope it reaches a point where it becomes a struggle to keep the metal heated while still accurately timing/placing your hits. I've also noticed that the Evil Lord progress bar is almost full! Gonna be interesting to see what happens.

It's in another vid: I'd forgotten how messed up the engine was in that game.

Yeah, can't see it happening myself. But it would certainly be a good way to make use of the GamePad. They'd have to include a pretty robust editor though in order for people to create tracks which make decent use the anti-gravity feature. But hey, anything's possible: All these years later, and I'm still gutted we never got that over here.

Is that new or preowned? Insanely good deal either way.

Yeah, it's a lovely looking game alright. I was playing some of the underwater levels earlier, which are really beautiful: I love on that particular stage how DK is in silhouette until you approach a light source, and then you can see details of the 3D model briefly. Really nice touch. Like I said on Miiverse though, I just wish there was a mode where you could swim around freely without the risk of dying.

Cheers. Just managed a no damage run and improved my time to 01:44.37. Tell me about it. My new record on 1-1 puts me in 93rd place on the global rankings, but that's still 10 seconds behind 1st place!! Time Attack is going to add a lot of replay value to this game.

Yep... And none of us have managed a perfect run yet.

£7.19 Trust me, you've got the rhythm for this. Weapon crafting doesn't take very long at all, less than a minute, sometimes just a few seconds. And there's also a visible guide for the timings, so you don't have to rely on the music.

Yep, any record with that green tick next to it has a replay that you can watch. It's awesome. Same applies to the worldwide leaderboard too. I watched the replay of the best time on the first stage, which is already absolutely insane.

Fair play. To be honest I'm kind of fed up of platformers too, but with nothing else to play on Wii U right now... well, it was this or nothing.
