What are you playing on your Wii U/Wii right now?

A bit of Kirby and the rainbow paintbrush tonight, done only world 1 but strangely it reminds me of Sonic.

It looks good but I've not looked at the TV once.

Mario Kart 8, it's becoming a faithful comfort of mine. Do hope we get Wave Race 64 soon, itching to ditch the 50hz version. Will Nintendo release more than one N64 game a month?

Aside from the original Sonic The Hedgehog, I don't think there's any game that benefits from 60hz more than Wave Race 64. They could stick it on the eShop for twice the price as Super Mario 64 and I'd still download it.

It's Paper Mario this month, which is fine and dandy, but bring on Wave Race 64, Mario Kart 64 and F-Zero X.

I'm jumping between Kirby & The Rainbow Paintbrush and Kirby's Dream Land 3. Really liking the former, drifting through the latter on autopilot.

Elliot Quest and DKC3, the former more than the latter. Both are pretty frustrating, but at least DKC3 has save states.

Apart from the save state thing how is elliot's quest?

Really good fun! It's a love letter to Zelda II, and contains virtually no signposting at all. I might have just found the place to be to make progress, but then again, it might be a dead-end. At any rate, when it's not testing my patience, I really like it.

Nice! It sounds like something I'd enjoy so I'll add that to the buy list.

STOP EVERYTHING. I'VE JUST STARTED PLAYING A GAME CALLED JAMBO SAFARI AND IT'S BASICALLY A JUNGLE CRAZY TAXI.

I remember this was supposed to come to the Dreamcast back in the day - is it as good as Crazy Taxi?
Sega need to pull their finger out and get Dreamcast games on the Wii-U VC!!

Nah, but then I'm saying that Crazy Taxi is the best game ever made, so I'm probably not the best person to ask...!

Judging Jambo Safari it's own merits though, I - an arcade enthusiast -am having a bit of fun with it. I'd compare it to 18 Wheeler more than Crazy Taxi in the sense that it's not something you'd want to plant forty quid on, but for being extremely cheap (£1.50 in CEX) it's well worth a shot.

I think I'll pick it up. Crazy Taxi is probably in my Top 10 games ever, and I enjoyed 18 Wheeler for the glorified screensaver it was.

Cappa should like this - I finished Zero Mission and then bought Klonoa: Empire of Dreams. It's pretty fun, although his "wa-HOO!" noise is unbelievably annoying.

Always good to hear of folk getting amongst Klonoa - Door To Phantomile and Lunatea's Veil on PlayStation are two of the best platformers I've played. Let us know how you get on with Empire of Dreams...sadly, I found it difficult to get into and left it well unfinished.

I finally picked up NES Remix 2 at the weekend, and so far I'm enjoying it more than the first one. Apart from that I'm dipping in and out of Mario Kart 8 and have developed a renewed hatred for the Koopa kids!

Got rid of 75% of my physical Wii U games a few days back. That sounds bad until I reveal I only ever had 4. Now it's just Smash and what I've got on Virtual Console.

Can't say I miss them.

Out of interest, what games did you get rid of?

MK8, Nintendoland and Mass Effect. None of which I played much.

Ahh that's a shame about MK8 as it's top notch but if yer not playing it I guess it's best to trade/sell it.

Yeah, I still have a couple of downloaded games that I'm playing now. Selling the games I wasn't using also allowed me to get rid of the data from my system, thereby freeing space!

It's Splatoon's single player mode for me. The online has gotten a bit boring, so I'm going to finish it up and swap the disc out (probably for Rainbow Paintbrush) until we can have GNamer Splat Nights.

that's a tagline right there.

Perhaps it is! *twirls imaginary moustache in an evil way* We plan to put up some E3-related ones until Yoshi's Woolly World, but it can definitely go in the mix.

DoPo, I know, but after beating Splatoon's single-player campaign I put LEGO Batman 3 back on. It's been a long time since I was less enthused for a game: after Splatoon's refined nature, the static camera and mash buttons to get studs gameplay felt very Neanderthal.
