NintendoLife gave it a 9. That is about the only site I trust with most reviews. Just watched the intro video and it is different. It is way better than the intro video for Tri.  I downloaded the demo.  Didn't even play the demo.  I already knew I would want the game and they added enough new content to warrant the purchase and "replay".

edit - Intro video before game launches is different, but the intro when you start game seems to be the same but higher def.

Heyyyy, to play online with others and communicate, does the gamepad have a built in mic feat? Like you can talk wit others thru the gamepad?(similar to wii chat)

The Wii U gamepad has a mic so I assume that is what we will be using to communicate while online.

i hope so cuz then im f***ed! No more money to get headphones which cost $30-$50 -_-

A slight delay on my end. Car troubles the last few days, which combined with my awkward work schedule means i won't be able to pick this up until tomorrow.

Either way, it'll mostly be offline play during the week, at least until that update synching us up with Europe comes in. Hope to see y'all this weekend, though!

I will try to join Friday for Welcome EU.

You americans, if you can take a short break - please share your impressions!

Well it seems to start off the exact same. The first thing you gotta do is go find the son which was just like the original. I assume the new quests will start coming in slowly at first and more later on.

Grr, some people are such a letdown

Hope you have fun! And yeah, hopefully it'll be patched sooner as opposed to later so we can all jump in together!

This better have gamepad mic chat!! I'll join ya if i get it todayyy!!!

I think it's just keyboard for now...though I could be wrong.
