Loving my Wii U....once I get proper internet sorted I'm coming after you guys on Mario Kart:pac:

Nice to see Wii U games dominating the end of year awards. VGN's top 40 show on Challenge featured most of the Wii U games in the top 5. Eurogamer had MK8 as its GOTY and their readers agreed, also putting Bayonetta and SSB right up there. Word seems to be finally getting out that this is actually a new Nintendo console and not a Wii add on!

cool add other 3rd prty to ssb she isnt offical ninitendo character

Hope it wasn't serious!
Lots of smash going on but I was stuck into mostly 1-p games.

I am enjoying the wonderful101, but god these controls for drawing morphs, they're terrible. Hopefully its something I adjust to.

Massive bacterial infection in my bladder, meaning my kidneys had no/**** all room to empty into. Bad craic altogether, and a sucky end to to an all round sucky year.

But I'm home now, and under orders to do **** all for the next 2 weeks. So plenty of time to Smash and Kart around the place.

Good to hear you're alright! Sounds painful!!!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Seriously though, I'd love him as a character and maybe Birdo.

Birdo cannot appear on WiiU until 2016, Ninty guaranteed Platinum that Bayonetta would have a 12 month exclusivity on the console's Hottest Female title.

It'd make a "great" adult themed NintendoLand game, a la Surgeon Simulator.

Other fun games could be:

Find a vein for a cannula
Runaway Medication Trolley
A&E Guessing Game (Guess what other people in A&E are suffering from)
Flirty Nursey
Hospital Trolley Skittles
and Wheelchair Drag Racing.

Actually, I could be on to something there. Baggsy the IP.

I have played most of those minigames already, albeit in real life, as a nurse myself, though a manager now.
Good times.
"What have I just put my hand on" and "Guess the Bowel Motion" are pretty common ones.
"Dodge the throw furniture" and "Needlestick Kerplunk" other faves.

Wii U Deluxe owners can continue to earn digital points through their eShop purchases thanks to Nintendo's extension of the Deluxe Digital Promotion through April 1. The program was originally scheduled to end on December 31, 2014, but Nintendo changed the deadline at the last second. - See more at: http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/download-zelda-other-titles-for-digital-points-deluxe-digital-promotion-ext#.VKnR-YupdUR

Handy enough.

I saw a post a few days ago on Gamefaq and Nsider (same post/similarly worded), that said they might do that. But it was only rumour.

Excellent news..

Cypronia promotion is still going I think (58 points for Angry Bunnies).

CastorTroy

Has it been tested though?

From my understanding, nothing has changed. You can't earn any more points and April 1st is the deadline for exchanging points for an activation code. This code then has to be exchanged for a voucher by July 1st.

Edit: Was also reported then updated here

Ah, well that's nothing new. Is it? I thought it was always April 1st to redeem?

From the link in the other post

EDIT.

Looks like the DDP was extended! Per the official website:

[NOTE] The Deluxe Digital Promotion will be discontinued on April 1, 2015. Please exchange your points for an activation code by March 31, 2015. Activation codes must be redeemed in the Nintendo eShop by June 30, 2015.

Have any Wii U news sites said anything about this? I'm super stoked, since I actually forgot to purchase my indies on New Year's Eve.

''No, the March 31st deadline is the date that you must click on the get activation button to generate an eshop code (if you still have one) then June 30th is the last day that code is redeemable.

Limited Time Promotion
Points will be earned until the end of December 2014.
Points must be exchanged to receive Nintendo eShop credit activation codes by the end of March 2015.
Codes must be redeemed for Nintendo eShop credit by the end of June 2015.
- After the expiration date noted above, Points and codes will have no value and will be deleted.
- Once an activation code is redeemed and credit is added to your Nintendo eShop balance, there is no deadline to use the funds.

Confusion must have entered there somewhere.

Lads, I rely almost exclusively on Boards for my gaming news.

The only other thing I check, really, is Games tm.

What's this about Metal Gear Solid on Wiiu?

Huh?

Link?

It's in the magazine. Thought it might be a misprint, but it's on the page with the other WiiU previews.

Last I heard, Kojima said Metal Gear wouldn't be seen on Wii U (I think that was in March and about MGS V), but he wanted Snake to appear in Smash.

Shame it hasn't made an appearance yet. It would work really well with the gamepad.

That's a typo. For one it's not being developed in house by Nintendo!

Ol' Donie

Thought it was a bit odd, that it should be kept so quiet!

Nollog

Ah, "gaming media", always so confused about everything Nintendo states, like they don't ever pay enough attention to realise it's nothing new.

They haven't changed their DDP terms, just idiotic "journalists".

ThisRegard

Anyone got themselves a reasonably priced second PSU ? My Wii U is tucked away in a unit which makes it a pain in the ass to remove the PSU and the controller can't reach the living room so off TV gaming is out at the moment. With a second PSU it'll be easy to move the unit itself.

Every time I pick up the damn 'Pad, the poxy battery is dead. Do you guys leave it on charge all the time, or what's the craic?

Tomo.Murphy

There is a better battery that you can buy for it. I'm sure I read instructions on how to change it when I was installing the initial update and passed the time by reading some of the instruction leaflets.

Can be quite annoying though. I get about 5-6 hours out of it before it dies. Not bad when you consider what the battery is powering, but you'd like it to last longer.

I usually leave mine on the charging cradle when I'm not playing it.
