I don't mind motion controls when they are warranted or can be customized but I hate when they push them on you. I used to hate playing DKC Returns for Wii for extended periods of time because you HAD to shake the controller to roll.


samesies. That aspect of the game turned me off totally. I'd be fine if it was optional (IE: you could just map that to a button).

I think most of us probably thought it was fun at first, but it got old fast, and it makes it very difficult to go back to the game again years later.  
 


The worst was going for the gold medals in the speed run mode. Some of those levels you have to play over and over and are essentially rolling the entire time. I really wish they would have at least given the option for the classic controller.

My walmart still has a whole bunch of Wii U stuff. But I think its because the workers are lazy. The are a bunch of Seitch games stacked up at the bottom of the case with no "home" so I assume they just dont want to take the time to redo the game display

Saw one of the guys from lrg tweet out last night that they may need to release some more wiiu games in order to preserve the digital games Nintendo just took down on the Nintendo channel. So there may be more.

what was taken down exactly? I saw something about this on Nintendo Life, but found the info confusing. I thought it was just that Nintendo took down info pages about certain games. There were actually games removed from the Wii U's eshop?

To be honest, I dont know. Just saw the tweet. I'm sure someone here probably can explain better.

They're pretty active on social media, especially Josh Fairhurst. Could always just ask, but he probably won't want to "reveal" the exact titles yet, because marketing. Still, would be really cool to see some LRG Wii U CE's, since there weren't any when the console wasn't quite so dead. The ol' Wii U shelf is basically just a strip of blue with a couple of first-party CEs at the end, gotta spice that baby up a bit.

Maybe they are talking about stuff that was in the Wii shop. Would be cool to see some of the stuff that was on there released physically. I'd be first in line for a physical copy of Contra Rebirth!

Did any of you guys ever play through Devil's Third? Was thinking about it recently and feel like i'm the only person who ever beat through it and enjoyed it. Game was tough. some of those bosses towards the end were brutal!

Does anyone have an actual up-to-date in 2019 checklist of all US retail releases? The OP still lists BOTW as upcoming, and any list I can seem to find online seems to have stopped in 2017 so I at least know it's missing some of the Just Dance releases and Axiom Verge for example.


Also, speaking of Axiom Verge, does anyone still have any extra copies. I was on the fence, and still sort of on the fence, but wondering if I should hope to grab one before the real gouging starts haha.

I haven't checked, but if you can get Axiom Verge on eBay for the original LRG price, I would get it.  I'm not saying it's going to jump up in value soon, but I don't see it going for less than that any time soon either.  That game is absolutely worth the asking price.  It's an amazing game and the Multiverse edition (which is what LRG printed) comes with a bunch of cool stuff.  If you are into the Wii U at all, you should definitely get it.

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

You can practically take that list and add Just Dance 2017,18,19, Skylanders Imaginators, Cars 3, and Axiom Verge Multiverse

You are correct, Jobber passed away in August of 2017.

I'll compare that list to the one in the OP and make some updates this weekend since Mods have edit rights?

Just Dance 2020 was announced for Wii but not Wii U. So the 2006 Wii has officially outlasted the 2012 Wii U in terms of retail support. Who woulda thought?
