What I mean is, it seems like it could be a fun experience to play co-op locally with my brother/family/friends. From what I read, the Wii U version requires you to have a 3DS and a 3DS copy of the game to play locally.
I have a Wii U & a 3DS but I think it's dumb to force people to buy two versions of the same game if I just want to play it co-op on one system. It's extra hoops to jump through, when there are such better ways of doing local mp.
A good example is like Hyrule Warriors where 1 character is on the tv and the other character is on the gamepad. It's perfect because there's no split screen and I feel it would've worked great for Monster Hunter as well. Even split screen might've worked but idk.
As far as local 3DS play, I don't know anyone else who has a 3DS that's pretty much out. Plus the MH3U doesn't even have online multiplayer on 3DS. I know they added it for 4 though, which is good.
I'm sure online multiplayer is great for others, but playing something like that with a bunch of people I don't know doesn't appeal to me. Doesn't mean other people won't enjoy it, I think it would just be more fun teaming up on a boss with people you know.

Nights: Journey Into Dreams for Wii.
It had pseudo PS2/N64 graphics combo that was just really weird, and the story somehow became terribly childish and the stupid owl just would not shut up, worse than LoZ Owl. Pure ugly game that did nothing for me. I'll stick to the original version Dreamcast port for PS3, which I still play sometimes cause it's fun unlike that Wii game. That was boring and dumb for trying to explore that series deeper.

Oh, right. That makes sense in a way.
It's pretty much a trend from Japan where Monster Hunter is more popular though. In Japan, it's a big deal and people generally prefer to meet up and play Monster Hunter locally with cafe's etc dedicated entirely to this. It's the reason it's pretty much always on handheld systems with only a few exceptions. (1, Tri, 3U)
The only reason that the Wii U version really exists in the first place is the lack of online with the 3DS version. That's partly why there isn't a Wii U version of 4U at all (since 4U has online now). I imagine 'proper' local multiplayer wasn't included simply for this reason, because the game only existed in the first place to allow multiplayer.
I couldn't play it online with randomers either though. I've only ever played with friends...I also don't understand why 3U 3DS didn't have multiplayer. Surely if 4U does, it was possible.

That's true, Capcom definitely needs to appease their main player base first and foremost. That said, if they came out with 4U on Wii U with local co-op like Hyrule Warriors or something similar, I would seriously consider buying it.

I regret asking for the newest Pokemon... I can't even remember which one I have ;w;
I wouldn't say it will 'bomb'. It's popular in Japan.
I don't imagine a Wii U version coming over to the West though...That's a game I'm happy for Japan to keep.

theres that paper monsters thing on wiiu thats better than sticker star
Kirby's Epic Yarn. Nothing wrong with it really, it's just directed towards younger children. I didn't know that when I got it, though. The way the narrator told the story made me want to jump out the window.
Woah woah woah, what's with all this Tomodachi hate? I play that game for hours! I'm playing it right now in fact!
It's not for people who like fast-paced action stuff, that's for sure. But I wrote this novel and have like dozens of OCs that I put into the game and it's so entertaining to watch them interact with one another. Especially when things work out in terms of friendships, love, ect. Plus there's some pretty funny stuff. I dunno. I've played it every day since Christmas and I'm not bored with it yet.

A bunch of people have told me it was boring, so I skipped over it and bought Fantasy Life instead, but the way you describe Tomodachi Life makes it sound kind of like the Sims... and like you, I have a lot of OCs and write often, so I kind of regret passing over it now! u_u
Tomodatchi = Repetitive. I wanted to like it for longer, I don't hate it the way others do but I sure got tired of them calling me to the roof to tell me something that meant nothing all the time. There was a lot of scenes for nothing in that game and I wished we could have interacted a bit more with our Miis even if it wasn't full blown animal crossing style.
The game is just a really good game to screenshot for lols, otherwise it's kinda bland after a bit. But I did give it at least 2-3 months of gameplay. I had a friend playing with me too.

Again, it's not for everyone. But it is like Sims to a point. It does get repetitive after a while and there's not like a massive array of things to do, but it is the first one after all. Gotta try some things out. All in all it's the kind of thing I can really get into.
It does get repetitive like I mentioned above, but it turns out there's loads more things than you'd think. I said I've played every day since Christmas and I'm still running into new dialogue. Plus I love the little things they threw in like dreams and having stuff on a Mii's face/shirt.
Right now I'm curious as to what each character's favorite food is. I love how no two characters are ever the same, no matter if their personalities are identical.
NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. I remember buying it because of how well it was immediately received. But the controls were so awful that I could hardly do anything. A fried of mine told me he was playing it and all I said was good luck.
Another game I didn't really care for was Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal.
I just bought it since it looked neat. But it was pretty disappointing...

What game are talking about?
All the Kirby games are directed towards younger children, though I'll admit Epic Yarn was noticeably easier than others...You couldn't even die.
The narration was awesome :3
The Sims is actually better in the sense that you actually have control and an input in things...Tamodachi Life is pretty much waiting for Mii's to do things, then answering yes or no when they finally ask you your opinion...
[Edit] Traded Tamodachi Life in today. Got Tetris and a Harvest Moon game with the 'points' (not sure which one, it was just one of the few games available that I didn't already have).
Literally, Tetris alone was worth the trade in.
