Picked up Art of Balance since I enjoyed the demo. Nice relaxing puzzle game with a great soundtrack.

I'm in the same predicament, 6k in stars saved up and I assume this should be the final psychical gift since you can no longer register star points but...what if they release something else anyway?! Although to be honest, I'm not too keen on that Majoras mask light either way.

I've got 8 Amiibo's, which unlocked Zelda LttP, Kirby Super Star, Super Metroid, Baloon Fight, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros, Zelda 1, Kirby Adventure. Here's a list here of every scene from each game in case anyone is interested: http://www.mariowiki.com/Amiibo_Tap:_Nintendo%27s_Greatest_Bits

I wasn't sure if this warranted its own thread but this app is available on the Wii U eshop right now and it's Free. Its a simple app where you scan your amiibo's into it and are given a random 3 minute playable segment of a NES or SNES game. Once you scan an amiibo, the game it unlocks is tied to it. So for example my Mario amiibo unlocked Zelda LttP and anytime I scan Mario it will allow me to play one of 9 possible scenes from that game only. With a different amiibo unlocking different games. It looks like there are 30 possible games to unlock: Super Mario Bros. Donkey Kong The Legend of Zelda Kirby's Adventure Super Mario World Excitebike Balloon Fight Yoshi Punch-Out!! Super Mario Bros. 2 F-Zero Wario's Woods Super Metroid Kirby Super Star Kirby's Dream Course Dr. Mario The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Metroid Super Mario Bros. 3 Kid Icarus Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Ice Climber Mach Rider Donkey Kong Jr. Wrecking Crew Super Mario Kart Kirby's Dream Land 3 Clu Clu Land Pinball Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Also took some Mario Kart 8 Screenshots:

yeah certainly, i'm very surprised they haven't added proper battle stages yet, assuming that they will at some point.

Someone mentioned this on Neogaf, if they allowed you to play Baby Park in battle mode it might actually make that mode worth playing.

Same for me. However I found out if I go to the room directly under the room my Wii U is in, the signal has no problem traveling through the floor and works fine.

The music for Rin Rin Metro is damn good.

ah that's awesome news. I'll be getting Sor2 as soon as its out. I also would like to see what sonic 2's bonus stage looks like in 3D

ha I love that he uses a PKE meter in the extended trailer. I'll be very interested to see what Ghostbusters related stuff they do with this game, hopefully the ghostbusters will get their own playset too. I also love the Back to the Future stuff, and they even have Hill Valley for you to explore.

I don't agree with the article and think its reaching pretty far to make some of its points, but Nintendo have announced games long before E3 in the past. We were told about Mario Kart and Mario 3D world in January 2013, a good six months ahead of E3 that year. And I don't think the Wii U Zelda getting a NX port/version is that out of the question.

Loved the Mario Kart 8 stuff they showed, they bought the release date for Pack 2 forward to the 23rd of this month, the Animal crossing level looked awesome and they announced 200cc

That Animal Crossing level for Mario Kart 8 looks great. also, pretty cool that they are adding 200cc

Yeah that's seems to be what they've done, which as you said is pretty unfair.

I think you can still register codes until the 20th of this month, I just registered my copy of Link Between worlds an hour ago. Its the expiry date on the slip of paper that the code comes on you have to pay attention to. In the past, the code that came with Nintendo games didn't expire for a good few years after a games release. so in my case I just assumed that Captain Toad, Smash Brothers and Majora's mask would be fine to register anytime before the 20th of April, being that these games are all under 4 months old. But it seems Nintendo made it so recently released games have a relativity short time to register them and the three titles I mention all expired last night. Just check the expire date on your games and you'll know what games you can still register.

ugh I was under the impression I could register my codes until the end of the month, so that was the only date I was paying attention to. I still had Smash brothers, Captain Toad, Zelda Link between words and Majora mask to register. I didn't realize they made these recently released games have a much shorter expiry date on them. I can only register LBW out of the Four titles.

Yeah it was great seeing the NWO vs DX thing. I also thought Rusev's entrance was fantastic.

This is pretty much what I'm expecting, but i'd love a surprise or two to come out of it. My crazy out-there predictions: A Super Mario RPG 2 made in conjunction with square-enix, Power Stone 3 from Capcom and a Mario 64 HD remake.

Yeah what a great Wrestlemania, I enjoyed the whole show. Only things I didn't like was the outcome of the Trips vs Sting match Also JBL's commentary for the whole night, he's bloody terrible.

yeah I guess of the games we know about, it's only Mario Maker and maybe Splatoon that I'm interested in. Not dismissing Xenoblade but i'm just not interested in it.

I felt like it was becoming a problem for me back in the N64 era, which was was why I decided to get a Dreamcast to play between N64 releases back then. As much as I like Nintendo's output over anything else, their games alone are not enough and if their consoles are going to have such limited Third party support then it makes the situation seem worse. I'm glad I have a PC and other consoles to play games on, because if I relied on Nintendo only I would be missing out on so much.

yeah that's my problem with it too. I primary used Melee weapons in the first game, but now it feels like you have to use guns most of the time. You certainly have to use them on Hard mode. I am enjoying this game overall though. And the soundtrack is so good

yeah so far this has been magnificent. Its been a long time since I've had a show where I can't wait for the next episode.

You can watch the replays pretty much as soon as the live feed has finished. For example, last nights PPV is in the library already
