Gaming Cafe Diem Baby: The Nintendo Wii U Discussion

Rocket barrels are nothing, it's the mine cart levels that are awful.

 

I remember back in Donkey Kong Country 3 there was this level where the controls were reversed... that was maddening. Heh, anybody remember the final secret (at least I think it was secret) in DKC3 with that rocket going down then going back up?

Up to the third world in Tropical Freeze, and, well, every level has multiple check points... that says something about how hard this game is. Fortunately, the partners help a lot, as well as their special ability (Diddy's is particularly great for accumulating lives). Also, you get so many banana coins that you can always get more lives if needed. I haven't had to fall back on that yet, fortunately.

 

Just picked up DKC TF today. Loving it so far but cleared up to the 2nd World. Pretty neat about bringing more of the Kong family back.

I've finished DKCR 100% so I can relate to your pain about those rocket levels and such. Spent 2 hrs and over 40 lives just to clear one level.. that involves lava... (Mind you I was aiming to get all the collectibles in one go.) I love it, hard as hell and glad we got more of it with DKC TF.

 

I'm always up for a challenge and it's one of the things I loved about Galaxy 2 -- it was hard but also very rewarding. Like I said, I'll have to give DKCR another try to see if I get that feeling from that game.

 

There are quite a few games on that list of Indie Games that I am looking forward to trying out.

Also, this happened:

Not to mention Super Mario Kart for the SNES will be released on the Wii U VC around the 27th March.

On a side note… can't stop listening to the music from DKC TF… David Wise and Kenji Yamamoto has hit it out of the park with that soundtrack!

 

Especially during mid-race to throw off their performance… just like in the game I guess hard plastic or whichever material it is would be more effective for that.

 

Good point there. Can't do local multiplayer if everyone is knocked out.

 

Blue shell... oh, the nightmares. Even if I had the money and space, probably wouldn't get the limited edition, though that blue shell does look very nice. The pre-order bonus keychains also look quite nice, might try for those.

 

I'm not sure how it is in Europe but games can be expensive in Australia. I just ran a converter and the standard edition is $79.95AU ($72.50 US approx.) and the collector's one with the shell is $99.95AU ($90.60US approx.)

 

That is more promising news than just no news about the reason behind the delay. That means it is definitely coming out on the system than silently let go like Aliens: Colonial Marines was on Wii U.

 

I saw a Campbell's commercial on TV this morning that featured this.
