Video Game Thread: Atari vs. Commodore Debate...

Had no idea that the Super Smash Bros Wii U game coming out also has a bundle available with gamecube controller and Wii U gamecube controller adapter lol.

Genius of Nintendo because the best and only way to play Smash Bros was with a gamecube controller. These gamecube controllers are going to sell like hotcakes, because I know at least 10-15 people who haven't bought a Wii U yet, that are going to buy one specifically for this game. Super Smash Bros might be make or break for Nintendo, so I hope their online interface this go around is smoother than Brawl and better.

I was iffy on having to adjust to the Wii U Professional Controller... but now they're also offering the classic gamecube controller separately by itself. LOL

I'll be buying a Wii U the same day Smash Bros. comes out next week!!! Cannot wait!
 
Also, there was a huge deal at best buy last week. Buy any phone and get 2 years free of gamers club unlimited ($119 value). You get 20% off ALL games brand new, and that's stacked on games on sale as well. Well people were buying $5 track phones and $10 simcards and getting free GCU memberships to last until 2020+.
 
At my parent's house where most of my stuff is stashed I found my old Wii accessories, which is nice, instead of having to spend 35-40 bucks on new remotes and another 10 or so on new nunchucks. I just need to spend 20 to get both of my remotes adapters. The kicker is I found my old Wavebird, but not the receiver :Sad:
 
Wii U has more potential than I ever thought.

Friends have told me the Wii U had a better all-around game lineup than PS4/XB1, just thought it was a bit rubbish. But now I can't wait to go get DK, Hyrule Warrior, Windwaker HD, New Super Mario Bros U, Mario Kart, and Smash of course.

I used to play Socom online for PS2 (and PS3) in it's heyday. Played a little bit CS source for a while, but the cookie cutter CoD and Battlefield shooters have left a lot to be desired. Nothing will ever recapture the magic I had for Socom, so it seems going back to my old roots with Nintendo should do the trick.

I've been playing Super Mario 3D Land a lot the last 2 days since I installed the Wii U. Can't believe I actually was looking forward to going home and playing a Mario game at this age, at work.

If only they brought Gamecube games to the eshop. I'd love to revisit Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and others like Metroid Prime. Actually, a Luigi's Mansion HD remake, an Ocarina of Time HD remake, and a Metroid Prime HD remake would be spectacular.
 
Nintendo is doing nothing right now but put out high quality games. Whether you like them or not you at least know you are getting quality.

Agreed. I felt years ago when I started playing shooting games that I "grew" out of the Nintendo stuff sans Smash Bros... now I regret not playing the Mario Galaxy's, Twilight Princess, and other first party titles for many years. Pokemon X last year on 3DS was the first time I bought or played a Nintendo software/hardware item since I had a Wii in 2008 and it got stolen not even a month and a half after getting it solely for Super Smash.

Yeah, the issue with Nintendo systems has been 3rd party support. I hope the Wii U is more open with the indie developers who I think can get creative with the controller and make some really fun and creative games with it.
 
Recently finished playing Portal 2. Can't believe it took me so long to play that little gem. It's got to be the funniest game I've played and the puzzles were fun to solve.
 
Ordered refurbished Wii U from Nintendo for 200 bucks. Should hvae it by Wednesday at the latest. Cannot wait. My only regret wasn't preordering the Smash Bros bundle with Gamecube controller.

Up here in the shire Bestbuys aren't easy to come by. But I will be stopping into the local Gamestop just to check, though it's not listed on their site as a gamestop with it. Walmart apparently has it but I refuse to patron them. I need to pickup some Wii Remote plus adapters for my old wii remotes.

Gamestop had the bundle when I went in there and had it first come first serve too.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't a pre-order exclusive. There were about 10 on the shelves at Best Buy. Didn't count when I went to Gamestop however.
