Sad Ah, shit. My save file from my retail copy of NSMBU is incompatible with the eShop version I downloaded today. I have to restart the entire game.

I don't know about what you could do but I know that Nintendo has something on the 3DS where you can transfer your save files from the retail to the download version maybe they might have something for the Wii U.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

I don't see any way to do that, but it's okay. I don't mind replaying it. I was just surprised my old save didn't work.

For the 3DS you have to download an app to do the transfer.

AC4 is a lot better than 3 but it stil has its fair share of quirks and tedious missions. The game does seem far better paced, if somewhat bloated at times.

BTW Lego Batman 2 is kickass and surprisingly it has better graphics than Arkham City. It's a lot of fun, and open world too.

AC4 was a lot more fun when I played it completely wrong (Splinter Cell-style). Unfortunately, I could not advance without playing it Ubi's way, and then it became very boring very quickly. Sad

Sure you can. One of the Edit features allows you to post 30, 60 seconds (more?)... or the whole race! You can hit the "+" button to definitely save a race you want to have a reply of --or-- the game automatically saves your recent races (a lot of them) and you can pick and choose from them. These get over-written as you play more and more, so use that "+" button to save good ones so they aren't lost!

No its 60 sec of highlights. Having a camera at some angle staring at your character does not allow others to make sense of the race. Recording the race is actually recording the race from start to finish with a camera that makes sense.

Are you doing 50cc or 150? The first cup is always the easiest. What's this progression talk? It's a racing game with cups and tracks, as you play more you unlock new cups/tracks/characters/karts.

But it is done in the most boring simple way. Look at Sonic racing, that thing gives you exp and points for everything you do practically and you unlock a bunch of stuff. You dont just do races, you are doing various challenges as well as part of the campaign. Look at Wipeout as you play you do races, tme trails, battle missions, crazy super speed mission thing, it is all integrated into tha campaign and as you win you unlock BETTER vehicles. There are no better vehicles in MK, it is all balanced from the start, you are simply unlocking skins that rearrange all the same stats, there is nothing better than what  you get from the start.

MK games have always had the worst racing campaign of any racer I have played and it is by far the biggest reason I never cared for it.

I might have time this afternoon for some races, but it could be difficult.  If not, this evening sometime.

GG, why you no have MK?  Isn't it out in the UK already?

I would slightly agree, though MK has had the most play time this weekend.  There's just so much more to do in Watchdogs.

Agreed, with the exception of Mario Kart DS that had a excellent mission mode.

Diddy Kong Racing had an awesome single player campaign. With an actual hub world and boss fights.

Mario Kart is more about the multiplayer.
