I'm pretty sure you can get refurb WiiU's from Nintendo for near what you're willing to pay.

That depends on how many friends you have and how willing they are to come over and play some Smash Bros.! You'll totally get $360 worth of entertainment value out of it if you have a regular-ish group!

The WiiU is a fine, fine purchase, good sir! Particularly if you're just getting now, since it's built up a pretty decent back catalog.

I disagree with you SO HARD, but actually maybe less so than I implied at first. I don't really feel like there's a huge quality drop-off in the NES series like many fans do, and I have many fond memories of playing Mega Man 6 after a friend in the sixth grade shocked me first by revealing that it existed and then by…

I almost always just choose random, although I've been waiting for Little Mac to appear in Smash Bros. since the N64 days, so I may put in a fair bit of time with him (provided the online isn't looking like a swarm of Little Macs).

"This may be a controversial opinion, but I agree with the conventional wisdom about Brawl, and I agreed with it from the start!"

I don't think you're actually supposed to drink coffee out of it. I think that's just what you want the squares to think you're doing.

That's a track I have many fond memories of, so I don't doubt it will be fun to re-experience!

Oh, that will be oh-so-very helpful! I've got some monsters planned that I'm going to have to create, and it will be great not to be flying blind.

I am!

I found it worse! I figured out the route of least getting murdered pretty quickly in the Cave of the Dead, but I'm fairly certain I emptied out the front part of the Smelter Demon's challenge cave!

Ivory King is so much fun! Definitely some serious gauntlets to run, though.

I don't alter the sound settings in the game and I listen to the sounds as they come out of my television or computer speakers. When travelling with the 3DS I might throw on some headphones. Unless I'm at a part of the game that's pure "game," with no plot development or mood setting going on, I don't like to mute or…

I celebrated finally conquering the first DLC by switching out the hunter hat for the Sunken King's Crown.

I used my Spell Fencer:

Yeah, the style and the design are magnificent. Who gives a fuck about the number of polygons or the resolution of the textures when you're wandering in a world this imaginative and unique?

It really is just a beautiful integration of the stats/number-crunching RPG aspects and the action-based combat system.

Elana is a cruel, cruel mistress. @Harrowing:disqus is absolutely right that the fight after her is spectacular. What's more, it isn't even half as difficult!

My Spell Fencer with the poisoned rapier had a very sad time in Shulva.

The Royal Rat Vanguard is the worst. Although it turns out to be 100% unnecessary to fight it.
