By googling I couldn't find anything, but is the freezing issue fixed yet? Might get this soon but not if the freezing isn't fixed. Surely it is by now...?
My Wii's frozen on NetFlix, YouTube, and the Activity Log. Never Nintendo Land (nearly 20 hours when I last checked).
Sounds like I need to learn how to use the Gunship, then. I might as well complete the earlier missions for practice.
The later advanced missions you guys are mentioning sound really annoying, but damn it, I've come this far already.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I've had four freezes since launch: one in the Settings app (I was fooling around with the locale settings), one in Miiverse while posting a drawing (grrr) and two at the very beginning of NintendoLand loading, before the spotlights appear over the curtains (spotlights mean the game has loaded). That may seem like a lot but keep in mind I have over 110 hours in NintendLand alone, in the course of two months.
Indeed, practice makes perfect. A very good 'passing grade' test for your mastery of the gunship is a mission called 'On Familiar Grounds' (IIRC) - that one will show you your weaknesses with the gunship, before your go for tougher missions.
Such a good game. Pretty much all of the games annoy you to no end until you complete them, and then at that point you just feel a rush of joy and satisfaction. Metroid blast is so much fun, being able to pick up the gamepad and play some missions without the need to turn on he TV is great! To bad nobody in my household wants to play multi-player with me

Ok thanks yall. Guess it was fixed. Will get it soonish whenever I can.
Lean into the jumps ever so slightly, tap the shoulders very quickly, and let yourself settle between jumps.
And then practice the hell out of it. I think it took me ~30 tries to get 90% proficient at it. ;-)

OK, I've been away so I've not been on the DK:CC personal best trail recently. Since returning I have been largely occupied with Miiverse and the ongoing campaign to get 60Hz VC games on Wii U (see the Balloon Fight community).
Anyway! I just found out about this on Miiverse: a secret hidden 1-UP on Course 3:
And then managed to land the crazy shortcut on Course 3 that I almost landed in one of my other recordings. Sadly, I did not have my capture device running. But here's a screen grab photo:
Let me know if you have any thoughts...

Thanks, I think. I forgot I'd even done that :/

I've played through all Zelda stages, all Pikmin save the last two extra stages and half of the Metroid co-op with my GF. It's been really really fun. My gf isn't used to gaming at all, and eventhough I tried to get her into some of the more gamey stuff on wii, none of the games could hold her attention for long. To present all the Nintendo franchises in these bit-sized pieces is perfect for newcomers, and mastering them is one of the hardest feats I've done in gaming recently.
Right now me and my gf are playing the Cave together as well and she's looking forward to Pikmin 3 as well!

Just got a Wii U not that long ago and have been playing a lot of this.
I've been playing it on and off mostly but today and yesterday I've been playing some of these a lot more seriously.
I absolutely love how many unlockable things there are. I didn't even realize you could get those gold stars until earlier today when I beat the first course in Donkey Kong's Crash Course. Just a couple of minutes ago I ended up getting a star for Takamaru's Ninja Castle as well.
I was a bit confused at first when I beat it and nothing happened and then some of the messages at the end said something like "I got to the end and was excited! But then I read the message T_T" and "Throw at the Princess at the end!"
So I figured I missed something, and I went through quickly again and unlocked the harder portion. I ALMOST made it to the 8th round but I died right at the end of the 7th when things got a little crowded.
So far DK's Crash Course is my favorite, I think. I also really like Pikmin, Zelda, and Metroid. I haven't played toooo much of Zelda or Metroid though so I still have yet to really judge those.

Something to do with Kraid, and very awesome!Is this pre final level(advanced) on Pikmin Adventure as impossible to beat as it seems?
Also, what's this stamp about the belly of the beast in Metroid?
If it reminds the battle with Queen Metroid, then I need to try it.
Edit: How the fuck can I do this shortcut in order to get that flag...? Help!!!

I think Pikmin Adventure is easier when you play as a Pikmin. Now, solo mastering the stages, that's impossible.

Had an epic multiplayer session of this last night after the Superbowl got out of hand. We still had the game running on the side but even when San Fran came back people were more into Nintendo Land. It was the first time for most of them and all they kept saying was "this is so fun!" Most were people who couldn't even figure out which way to point a Wiimote so I didn't get into Metroid, but all the other 5 player games were big hits.
I'm not sure why they didn't make Zelda 5 players; I guess there's already a hint of slowdown but it feels like a wasted opportunity. I kind of wish they'd put in 1-5 player modes for everything, even if it was just taking turns.
I'm also not sure why this game hasn't been a bigger hit, I've never been in a room of people playing it who weren't have a blast, and it's super casual-friendly.

Here's a crazy shortcut. I haven't mastered it enough that I can do it every time...yet.

I can get through the gap on demand, but landing the shortcut is about 50/50 for me so far.

Fall off the ledge by where the cart is, catch your wheel on the ledge below and keep tilting to the right to drive into the flag.
Don't worry though, it is one of the trickier drops!

I think I know the answer already, but is it possible to get the ending without multiplayer?
If I'm thinking of the right stage, it's actually harder to beat than most Metroid or Zelda stages are to master. Good luck.
Playing as a Pikmin: Hop instead of running. Stick to the normal combo. Get the Whip Seed and keep it. You'll need it when you have to crush all the blocks and it's faster than throwing rocks.

yep, figured that out. Thanks. I've made it to Stage 2 Hard Mode section 3 or 4 I think. I think I'll get through all 4 soon enough. First two levels are such a breeze now.
Donkey Kong, Zelda and Ballon Trip are probably my 3 favorite Nintendo Land games. Wonder if we'll get an DLC? Some new DK stages would be great.
Tilt your pad back and forth to run through it until you get to the bottom, then rotate it 180° and repeat to navigate downward to the exit (which used to be your entrance.)
Took me a couple tries to figure that one out (particularly since I was already low on lives…

An easier way is to move out of the way and rotate the mechanism clockwise to make the top of it into a ramp you can drive up. Then when on top of it, rotate it counterclockwise and press a bumper to open the door and you'll be passed straight through the opening.
I'll say. I still haven't managed it. Maybe break it down a little more? Am I supposed to be kind of driving off the ledge then pulling back mid-drop or something?
Just let the cart fall off the ledge as slow as possible. It should hit off the two pegs sticking out and flip right side up.

Yes, above is correct. Drive slowly and don't change your pad tilt until you hit the floor.

Another (faster) option is to get on the top of the box (don't get inside) and rotate it counterclockwise to go the next section, way easier
My girlfriend noticed this shortcut first a while back while watching on the zoomed out view. This is what I truly love about this console, and what sets it apart from the rest.
yup, slow works almost 100% of the time. If you want to do it a bit faster you'll have to tilt the gamepad to the right. You'll often crash, but you'll probably grab the checkered flag before you die.
hmm I haven't been able to land it yet but I can finally go through the gap

Stage one in 19.7 seconds. Not by me.
Includes the first glitch shortcut I've seen.

Flat as in how? With the screen parallel to the floor? Or perfectly at right angles to the floor?
Perfectly parallel to the floor. It really does feel faster, but I need to stop crashing every 5 seconds with this method to compare
Although now that I've been messing up with this control method a bit, it appears that I always land the shortcut in the middle part of the course, the one where you're getting down in the elevator and need to fly/flip yourself to the other side of the board.In other news, I tried for about 15 minutes to reproduce the glitch and all I've been able to do, is have my cart hang with one of its wheels on the lower red girder. Good start I guess?

Still not managed to do the glitch.
Day one!
I just finished Metroid Blast co-op it was amazing. They put quite a lot of content for a Metroid themed attraction.
I see a lot of my visitors having many trophies on the solo games while having less than 10% completion on the co-op ones (zelda,pikmin,metroid). I end up wondering if people realize they can also play these solo.
I mean if you can stomach the awfulness of the fzero ride until you got a golden trophy, you can at least play metroid blast or pikmin adventure...
Soo.....Does anyone here know that you can play Yoshis FC with 2-players?
The other player can use a WiiMote and pick up 1 fruit (not 2 nor a package/gift)...I played with a friend and we enjoyed the hell out of it. Mainly we used 2 methods:
1. The player with the gamepad aims to take all the fruit and the one with the wii-mote acts like a life-saver and can pick up 1 missed fruit.
2. We both made up a plan for the order to take the fruit and the player with the wii-mote chose to pick up the fruit that was the most difficult or furthest away from the straightest path.

Finally played NL last night with my family. Metroid is awesome. So awesome. Other games are great, but that one takes the cake. Pikmin is #2. Animal Crossing #3.
Zelda... wtf damn, we're terrible at it. Much more hardcore than we expected, haha.
