Of course, you can just keep the original sail if you really want to.

Nice solution. How expensive is it? Something you can get right away or does it take a while?

You have to win it in an auction, I got it for about 200 Rupees. It is available right after you finish Dragon Roost island.

Super Smash Bros.: Sonic is confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming fighting game, which is scheduled to launch for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS in 2014.

Pikmin 3: The game is getting a free software update (broadband Internet access required) that provides players with a new Mission Mode stage.

New Wii Remote Plus Designs: Nintendo fans will have their choice of a Mario-themed controller or a Luigi-themed controller. These controllers will launch on Nov. 1 at a suggested retail price of $39.99 each.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games: The game launches exclusively for Wii U on Nov. 15. For the first time in the Mario & Sonic series, players from around the world can take the action online and compete with others from around the world (broadband Internet access required). Four events are playable online: Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross and Short Track Speed Skating, in addition to Winter Sports Champion Race, a Dream Event that combines Skiing, Ice Skating, Bobsleigh and Snowboard into a single event. Every time players win a medal in online game play, they will win points for their home country. The points can be viewed through persistent online rankings. The game will be available as standalone software in the Nintendo eShop and in stores for a suggested retail price of $49.99, or bundled with a Wii Remote Plus controller (which is required for some events) at a suggested retail price of $59.99.

Wii Party U: House Party mode places the focus on the Wii U system’s GamePad controller and couples its use with the Wii Remote controllers in unique, engaging and social ways. In Water Runners, for example, players scoop water from a stream displayed on the GamePad and must skillfully carry the water to a pitcher displayed on the TV. The game launches Oct. 25. The physical version of the game includes a Wii Remote Plus controller and the new Horizontal Stand for the Wii U GamePad, which allows players to use the GamePad in a more balanced and comfortable fashion with GamePad-exclusive Tabletop games such as Tabletop Baseball.

I wander will they update again to allow you to play games like mario kart wii with just the gamepad, as you need no motion controls to play them

[SlaughterX]

Finally picked one up about a week ago. I was waiting for a price drop, that combined with the Zelda LE (I own both Zelda DSs) made me make the jump. Now I just wait for Bayonetta for complete justification. It helps that I sold my Earthbound cart for $200, which I promised to put towards the purchase of the console. So far the only games I own are Zelda (even though I didn't really care for the WW on the GC, I figured I'd give it another chance in HD, though I would havenever paid $50 for it or any other HD remake, I don't like how Nintendo is handing these remakes so far), Luigi (damn this game is hard!), and Earthbound on the VC.

Did the update today & picked up the VC titles I didn't have.

Sonic gots 5.8/10 on IGN

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/10/1...t-world-review

Also isn't released until the 28th in NA apparently. I like em Sonic games so I find it hard to believe that review score.

Edit,

Honestly after listening to that review I'm questioning wether they were paid to trash talk it. Well not that bad. Sonic ain't fast enough or the sense of speed isn't there. Lol. Really? Not only that but if you search Sonic & IGN on YouTube, you'll get a bunch of IGN folks playing & loving every second of it.

I'll give the game a go for sure now.

I got the impression he got assigned to review the game, didnt want to and just gave it a bad score,

funny tho IGN Italia's give it 80

I was expecting about 75 on average
