Sometimes nostalgia can be overwhelming. I often pull out old gaming systems to try and play some of my classics, but I usually get overwhelmed with the options or even from too many memories and it makes me want to put the system back away. :P

The only games that really caused nostalgia for me were Gunstar Heroes and Haunting Starring Polterguy, both for Sega Genesis. Though i was literally looking all over the internet for their names because i wanted to play them again at that point(i had no friend to play them with though).

Nostalgia isn't a bad thing, up to a certain point. Then you get to the point where your nostalgia blinds you to the good in other games (hardcore Genwunners, for example).
Also, side question: Besides the upcoming Smash Bros 4, Mario Kart 8, and DK Tropical Freeze, what other good games are there for the WiiU? I don't remember..... |
I haven't had any nostalgia trips since I rediscovered Rise of Nations, because most of the older games I still play and always have played :P

I've Rayman Legends, and it's quite fan. It's available universally, though, I believe, and not just Wii U. Aside from that, another one I'd recommend playing is Super Mario 3D World; extremely addictive, if you ask me!

As for the Wii U, Pikmin is great. It's a fun and incredibly polished experience that I can't help but recommend. Upcoming is Hyrule Warriors, but I really have my eyes set on X. That game looks beautiful every single way, really doing its best to one-up Xenoblade. |
Quote:
Wonderful 101 can be amazing IF you put the time into it, but I won't recommend this unless you're really interested in it. Lego City Undercover is another good one if you're itching for an open world game. If you never played Wind Waker, I guess you could go with the HD game. Wouldn't personally recommend WW at all in honesty, but eh. It's acquired taste. |
I started putting away a bit of each paycheck for a Wii U but it was because I got all excited watching E3 and now none of the games are out and I am sad.

Zombi U
Darksiders 2 NFS:MW NG3(Yes I'm serious, if you don't agree that's fine. And god knows what else. I'm split between saving up for a Wii U or a phone, and I'm torn. Might get both, but god knows my paycheck doesn't agree. Anyway, ASMR goodness ahoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1y8bq_2X2g I can listen to this all day long and not got tired. |
I've heard good things about Rayman Legends as well, but am yet to try it out. Child of Light also got good reviews, but that's on other platforms. Otherwise it's the usual Mario (Land and Kart in particular), DK and LoZWW being worthy picks imo. Nintendo land is also fun but it does require someone else to play with for it to really shine in the first place.
Pikmin games imo are always worth playing in particular though. |

Plus apparently it won't support Unreal Engine 4 so you might miss some new games. |
Oh, Rayman Legends was mentioned earlier. It is an incredible game. I've played the PSVita version though. It's great though. The gameplay is fun, the graphics are beautiful, the style is quirky. Also, if you don't have origins either, there's a chunk where you can play some of its levels.
For wii u, nobody's mentioned Game and Wario yet! The new concept isn't as good as the fast microgames, and it can be really hard at times (I'm looking at you, large-toothed arrow boss), but it's still really fun to play. My favourite part of the game is getting friends to play the fruit-stealing level. |
Quote:
And considering the currently announced upcoming games, if someone were deciding between PS3 and 360 vs Xbone and PS4, I'd definitely have to recommend to the former. |
Has anyone here played Shovel Knight yet? I've seen half of a Game Grumps Let's Play of it, and it looked so good I had to turn it off so I wouldn't spoil the game! Seems like the devs mixed all of the best gameplay mechanics of classic platformers into something perfect.
I just wish there was a physical release of it. |
Quote:
But I don't see it getting a physical release, nor do I think it should. It's indie, so it doesn't have a publisher. If they did have a publisher, the team's revenue would be cut drastically, and if they made physical releases, where they can be sold used, stolen, or put on sales, and considering that the game's only $15 and has a large following but not the biggest mainstream following, the team itself would get very little. |
I want the new Pikmin game, but used it's still $50 here and that isn't in my range for a used game. I was lucky enough to get a Super Mario Wii-U bundle when I nabbed Mario Kart

Quote:
I know it's the right choice for me, because I love Nintendo games more than any other by far, I'm just sad that the Nintendo games I'm excited for aren't out yet. I'm planning on getting probably Wind Waker and Mario Kart to start with, and then building from there now that I have a steady paycheck so I can afford games. |
When it comes to the Xbox One (I absolutely refuse to call it by its derogatory nickname), Wii U, and PS4, I know my plans for when I get them. I am planning to buy myself a Xbox One sometime next year. As for Wii U, sometime after getting my Xbox One. Now for PS4, not until years after I have both the Xbox One and Wii U. Course certain games I am interested for them are not out yet, but I would need the right system for them first.
