    Just curious, how big is the file?

    I don't even have a WiiU but I'm curious to know.

    The music in MK8 is probably the best i've ever come across in any game. All recorded with live players.

    The amount of work put into this game is truly staggering. Hats off to Nintendo.

    I registered at least 4/5 days ago and have not received a code yet for the free game ... Are you meant to get the code via e-mail or do I have to get it somewhere else does anyone know?

    If you log back in to you your Club Nintendo account, the banner should have changed to notify you of your ability to claim the free game. Just click that to proceed.

    Awesome I can see the code now, thanks!
    Spent ages deciding what to get but it's going to be Pikmin :)

    Ye I was thinking of Zelda also but I played it already on the other console so doesn't make sense to get it again (well not right now anyway)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Yeah, I have Zelda so out of the ten Pikmin seemed the best, for me anyway and people keep singing it's praises and now I understand why!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824


    I want a WiiU so much after E3 today!

    Bank account says no though! :(

    Pikmin 3 looks really good but I'd probably go with Zelda.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,553 ✭✭✭murphyebass


    Went with Zelda, started it briefly there. Can see myself getting taken in very easily. Looks stunning.

    Just had a look on http://club2.nintendo.com/mario-kart8-promo/ and it seems they've slashed the list of available games?

    Only listing the following now:

    New Super Mario Bros. U
    Pikmin 3
    Zelda
    Wii Party U

    Ah good man. Yep, found the UK version and it's the full list (https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/Mario-Kart-8-Bonus-Game-Promotion/Mario-Kart-8-Bonus-Game-Promotion-879238.html). Cheers!

    Probably go for Pikmin 3 anyway.

    I got it yesterday, you won't regret it :)

    Have a lot of them already.
    From what I don't have, I'm stumped.

    Which to pick from these 3:
    Wonderful 101 seems cool but the demo is awkward.
    I've heard nothing about Sonic Lost World.
    Zelda wind waker...Had it and completed it on the cube, not sure I'd put in the hours again sailing around looking for treasure but its a great game. Is it better than the other two considering I've already completed it?
    Anyone able to help me?

    I have both Wonderful 101 and Zelda. They're both really good games. Zelda is awesome. To be honest, it's possibly my favourite Zelda ever. I paid full price having also played it on the Gamecube and didn't regret it 1 bit. The Triforce search at the end has also been much improved, and its much more than a simple remake.

    If you'd rather get something you've never played though, W101 is also great. I don't think the demo really does it justice. It's an insane but very enjoyable game.
