Toad parts always felt like an annoying mini game I just wanted to get over with in 3D world. Doubt I'll ever try an entire game of it unless they added a ton of other features.

I just finished 3rd world. This game is a lot of fun. Some challenging content, and you have to figure some puzzle type situations in order to get some of the check mark rewards. Great little game, especially for $39.99 new.

I'm shocked to hear that. The Captain Toad levels were one of the highlights of SMWU for me (and others I assume, which is why they developed into a full game). I just started playing it recently, having finally 100%-ed DK:TF, and Captain Toad is awesome. The only thing I dislike is how the camera moves with the Wii U game pad. It would be a lot better if I could disable that, especially on levels where you have to touch something on the game pad screen. When I reach down to touch the screen, the controller inevitably moves and throws off whatever perspective I had on the screen.

Nonetheless, it's a super fun game and really creative. I'm not too far in yet, but already some of the puzzles require me to stop and think about what I'm doing, without being absurdly hard to the point of frustration.

My wife is loving the new Mario Party. She likes the pretty much randomness of who wins. I can't say I car for it quite as much.

I'm nearly done with Toad. On like level 20 of the 3rd world. I've gotten all 3 stars and the check mark from each level so far. Sometimes you get lucky and accidentally get the check on your first play of that level. Sometimes you can't because doing something to get the diamonds causes you to not succeed at getting the check. Fun game. The dragon levels are great, just because of how gorgeous they are on the screen.

Ok, I'm on level 27 now in the 3rd world. Some of these are getting really challenging. They aren't "hard", but you have to get the timing right. I still really like Captain Toad.

You know what is sad... people do not know Simon Belmont.

I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Contra or Double Dragon guys.

Maybe Bo Jackson from Super Tecmo Bowl :p

Anyone care to explain how speeds work online for MK8? How can I tell what cc I'm playing at? Also how are the brackets set up? Is it every 1000 points or something?

Still playing Toad.. haven't finished it, but haven't had a chance to play it in the past few days. As a side note, I picked up the new Mario Party game for my wife yesterday. We haven't tried it yet, but maybe tonight after work. My daughter should like it also, I hope.

I'd add Oddjob from Golden Eye, and make him really overpowered so he can destroy friendships in a whole new game.

I haven't played it yet but I can't wait. Maybe tomorrow I can get into it. I can imagine some tracks being strenuous. Like the track shaped like Yoshi.

Fuck yeah. That'll be awesome.

For SSB, not sure who to vote for. I think Midna would be an interesting character.

Or maybe Dino Riki.

Ohhh man, DINO RIKI!! That was the first game I ever owned (besides mario/duckhunt). Found it randomly while waiting on line to get on my bus and I could never beat it as a kid. Wasn't till like 6 years ago I cheesed it up with save states in an emu and finally gave Riki the satisfaction he deserves.

Thanks for the nostalgia bomb!
