So many great games… but most of them aren’t out yet!

This is a two question survey that requires no signing up, accounts, clicking through ads, or anything. Just answer a required question, answer a non-required question (if you want) and make your voice heard in yet another NintendoEverything reader survey poll thing! Results will be read in the form of our top ten list on the next podcast, and if you opted to answer the written question your answer could be read on the show! So don’t say anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much. As stated above the question for you guys this week is “Which game(s) is your Wii U “system seller”?”

What have you always wanted in an open world game? Pig cannons? Rogue Aliens? Well you’re in luck! The latest installment in the LEGO franchise from TT Fusion and the LEGO Company gives you all of that and way more– and I mean WAY more.

People have been waiting for the bigger Wii U titles to come out, but there hasn’t been much to hold us over. Mario and Pikmin are big names but are they unique and deep enough to fill the hole in our hearts? Well, okay, of course! But I believe LEGO City also does just that; it has hours and hours of game playtime and will keep you distracted with a vast open world while we continue to wait to more releases.

Spoiler: It’s faster!

I think the improved load times are what the majority of Wii U owners are looking forward to the most with the Spring update that was just released, and if you’re still waiting for the thing to download/install, you’re someone without a Wii U who wants to see if Nintendo made good on their promise, or you’re just curious what the actual numbers are, I’ve got you covered. All figures are listed in seconds.

Here’s the breakdown:

I think this week is going to be the best one so far, because the discussions we had on our latest podcast episode really kicked me into gear for thinking more intellectually as I play, and noticing more things I hadn’t initially. If you want to play along and discuss during the week, check out our forum thread here. If you missed out on the first week but you still want to participate, you’re looking at a total of about 8 hours of game-time this week to catch up!

Since last week we obtained the second and third Stars (out of seven!) in the game, this week we’ll do our best to get Stars #4 and #5! You should stop as soon as you get to a save point after Star #5. I’m guessing this will take about 3 hours or so. Maybe a little more, so get crackin’!

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Hit the break for info on how to participate in a discussion, plus other ‘Frequently Asked Questions’!

I completely forgot what I was supposed to use for this week’s image, so here’s a funny picture of Reggie and Miyamoto and someone else as The Matrix.

And finally we see a glimpse of what the Book Club is meant to be via a long discussion of Super Mario RPG at the end of this week’s episode! You can also expect to hear news, what we played, listener mail, and a top ten list of your guys’ favorite announcements from Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct.

Some of you may notice that our feed (iTunes/Feedburner/etc) is missing all of the episodes before episode 34 or so. That’s because our hosting service is a real piece of crap! So I’ll be switching to a more expensive (but hopefully more stable!) service in the coming days. Stay tuned– and thanks for listening. :]

edit: Wow that is the perfect thumbnail.

I decided to revisist Ocarina of Time this week because there were some cool glitches, and also people keep telling me to do more Zelda games. So here’s another one! Enjoy, faithful NintendoEverything readers.

Are you sad because it appears as though the Wii outsold the Wii U for yet another month in a row? Well, here’s something to cheer you up: Anyone participating in the ‘NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!)‘ can take part in discussions about Super Mario RPG in our forums right this second. We’re on week 2 of this whole shin-dig (catch up if you need to!), and people are just now getting where they need to be, so the discussions are finally “heating up” as they say in all those cool sports that people watch. Or in Pokémon Stadium.

You can also send your thoughts on this section– which encompasses such magical locations as the Kero Sewers and Mole Village– to [email protected]. If you say things that are nice and interesting/important, we’ll read them and discuss them on the podcast!

I’m not sure which I’m going to pick yet (so many options!), but the new Yoshi’s Island is certainly a contender…

Alright, so we made it through week one. Not bad, everyone! Hopefully folks are still enjoying things and finding a lot to discuss in the forums, and if you’ve made it through section 2 of the play-through you can head there right now to talk about it. If you missed out on the first week but you still want to participate, you’re looking at a total of about 4 hours of game-time this week to catch up!

Since last week we obtained the first Star (out of seven!) in the game, this week we’ll do our best to get Stars #2 and #3! You should stop as soon as you get to a save point after Star #3. I’m guessing this will take about 2 hours or so. Maybe a little more, so get crackin’!

Also, please do not send us emails discussing portions of the game beyond where the book club is. We want to avoid spoilers and we don’t want to feel unable to answer your questions/respond to your comments, so if you’ve gotten ahead of everyone (which is fine!) do your best to only talk about the parts that we’ve all agreed upon. :]

Remember ‘Two People Playing Games’? Well, my co-host from those days is back to help me get through yet another episode of Eggbusters! Tackling Banjo Kazooie is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, and I’d have to say it went rather well. Enjoy!
