For those who are thinking about picking up a Wii U, Nintendo is selling refurbished consoles for $200. For all the reports I have read, they are basically brand new systems (in appearance). https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailCol...

Meh, i'd order one in an instant... However, that seems to be US/CA only, not shipping to Germany...

I've checked their german store and there doesn't seem to be a similar offering for refurbs here - or is there?

Advice appreciated, coz at $200 it'd be a steal...

Most SMW ROM hacks are built with the assumption that the user will use save states, which dramatically offsets the execution difficulty.

Are there any that are different take on SMW that aren't crazy difficult? Like, what are the best SMW ROM hacks that are the most well thought-out. Ditto for Zelda, those two are my favorite games but I can only play the same game so much.

The recent Link Between Worlds for the 3DS is a direct sequel to the SNES Link to the Past, and in many ways, it's like a remix. I was skeptical, as I also adore LttP, but I really enjoyed the new one for the 3DS.

I'm actually more interested in the Wii U than either an Xbox One or PS4. I just don't want to have yet another console to worry about hooking up. So I'm waiting until I'm ready to retire my current Xbox 360 and PS3 (and with upcoming Dark Souls 2 DLC, that's going to be probably another half year at least). That said, I'm probably going to be forced to pick up a PS4 to play Bloodborne when it launches (supposedly a…

I am interested in consoles no more. Exclusivities are now rare and pc gaming looks so much better and you can enjoy ancient games and new ones all the same. I hate it when you have to buy again the game you played years ago just because the hardware is newer.

Exclusives might be rare on Xbox One or the PS4, but on the Wii U they're the norm. You're of course more than welcome to focus on PC gaming, but I for one love local multiplayer gaming sessions with my friends, and for that the Wii U is the best choice.

I hate exclusives as well. If it were up to me, consoles wouldn't exist anymore. They're too plentiful and too underpowered and too expensive.

That said, there's just no way to enjoy all the best games by restricting yourself to only a PC. It sucks, but it's how it is right now.
