Just been to blockbuster, rented 2 of the titles, both had unused code in box. Now that is a deal.

Does it have to be 3 different games? in my house there are 2 copies of LMDM.

Blimey paxman had better watch his back " did you like lego as a kid?'"

@Nodesfornoids you should prob go see a doctor mate. I think you need to change your meds.

Does anyone expect this to be more than a shovelware title?

Going to finish Luigi's Mansion, and guacamelee on vita.

Peach64, nintendo games take ages to drop in price. LM is well worth the money.

Anyone who plays LM and does not smile is DEAD inside, loving it, only up to mission 5 on first house (getting rid of the cob webs) anyone noticed what happens when you flash the purple plants ........ well worth it.

Its still ages away for us in UK! hope shopto will post early.

By eck, there are to many good hand held games coming out in next couple of weeks .... sly cooper 4, dark moon, soul sacrifice, donkey kong 3d, and now this!!

was hoping for a dark moon demo.

It's a great time to be a hand held gamer.

This is good news, for sony and 3ds owners, more vita's out there means more games will get made for it, so nintendo will have to respond with more games for 3ds ..... its a good time to be a handheld gamer.

The bloke is a knob, but i think he is sort of right. I don't think Nintendo will make another traditional home console, But I do think that the next Nintendo handheld will be a powerful beast, which will be able to connect to a t.v to continue play when your at home.

will we be getting a review soon ......

its been delayed till november and its on xbox! dam looked so good!

People chill out, its a joke .....

It's been delayed till september.

This was a good Nintendo direct loads to look forward to, I love my vita, but sony need to do something special to better this line up!

Who cares about awards ? if you play a game and like it that should be enough, winning an award makes no difference.

This for me was one of those games I was willing to buy a new system for, not much else i'm interested in on wii u, now i'll just get it on ps3 or xbox or vita. oh well life goes on.

@EvisceratorX Gravity rush, wipeout 2048, unit 13, golden abyss, mutant space blobs, motorstorm R.C. Burning skies, A.c liberation.

It makes me laugh at all the stupid comments on here like " I really hope that vita does not get it" Why? What does it matter to you on a personal level?
As a gamer if you find a game you like why would you not want others gamers to play it? even if they own a different system to your's? Some people have a 3ds some have a vita, should we all not be able to play great games? ( I own both)
Exclusive game deals are there for one reason, to make money for the companies involved, i.e forcing gamers to buy a new console to play the latest great game, and we all fall for it! There not doing it as a favour to us.

It sounds like some people have got round the region lock on the 3ds, so hopefully will be able to import the cart soon.

I just want to play MK7 online with out getting booted or waiting ages for a game!!

@lobster of cause were entitled, with out the people who buy games and consoles (us) nintendo would be nothing. They need to remember the customer should be there main focus. @ madgear has it spot on.

Can you honestly say if you were offered one at half price you would not take it? I know I would. They did not hurt anyone, so its a victimless crime. Nintendo and the retailers will be insured, and you can bet your bottom dollar only 5000 were pinched, but if Nintendo put out that 7000 were stolen they get the insurance money for 7000. I cant understand how people feel sorry for any multinational companies

In the eurogamer article about this, it points out how over the last month the sun has said at various times how great COD BO 2 is ......

I'll be in Arkham city all weekend.

I've heard this is going to be hardcore, so won't be able to download it till midnight!!

@InternetBowser, yes it was world wide news a few weeks ago.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-10-18-nintendo-investigating-wii-u-manufacturer-foxconn-for-using-illegal-child-labour

The kids Nintendo use to make the wii u in china, work all the way through the night, but as long as kids in Europe don't see a zombie, every thing is ok. They don't care about children when they pay them a $1 week!

@bobbysanders totally agree, I had spare cash for a wii u this weekend, but after finding out about this bonkers policy I took my cash else where! vote with your wallet! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!

People remember, if your new wii u breaks down, you don't have to send it off to nintendo for repair, the shop where you got it from must repair or replace, by law. Your contract is with them not nintendo. So don't take no for an answer, the law is the law (well in U.K anyway).Just quote the sales of good act.

Who cares about awards? if you like a game, thats all that matters, if your fave game does not win a prize who cares, you still had fun!

@chunky_droid mr james newton works for nintendo, so what do you think his opinion is? its what ever his boss's tell him it is!!

@chunky_droid nope, millions of under 18's have prob played COD, but only 2 or 3 have gone on to shoot someone because of the game.
So your son witnessed you getting hurt in game, in my household we would have had a chat about it, to see reason and make sense, video games are cartoons. If handled in a proper fashion violent and mature games make a kid much more a rounded person. Its all about being open and education.

@whiteknight, but where do you stop with this crap ....is it ok for lovefilm or netflix not to allow you to watch 18 films before 11pm? you ISP to ban porn before bedtime? company enforced censorship is wrong!

Shock horror, I dont care if kids play mature games, because it wont affect them in a negative way, no matter how many horror stories you read in the press, most kids know that games are games. A violent game wont turn a kid violent! At worst it makes them ask questions, which is a good thing!

I did have spare money to get a Wiiu this weekend, but not now. I'll vote with my wallet.

Censorship is wrong!

Its not up to nintendo to say what my kids can play or watch, its up to me.

@whiteknight can I just ask, what are the risks? will the sky fall in if a 10 year old plays zombie u?

@tickling look at your avatar, and what it stands for, then read your last post!

Wind waker for 3ds would be lovely

Something like playstation plus would be very nice.

@amphilbian if you want me to register your pin on my account and i'll send you the download code, just a thought.

@ChunkyDroid nope your wrong, I'm an ambassador and ive just put my code in for a free game. I got 3ds small on launch then did a system trans to my 3ds xl on launch.

@Schprocket what about playstation plus, and cross buy ( buy ps3 and get vita for free)

Just put my code in and it worked, now waiting for my email.

@Tsuchiya how can you not be impressed? A free game ....

Blimey that's a great deal, free Layton can't be bad

Game (gamestation) Northampton and Blockbuster Kingsthorpe still say they have launch day stock, both have basic and full fat versions on offer, hope this helps someone.

one think mario kart needs to learn is how to make it easy to play online... takes me ages to get a race then 99% of time i get kicked out half way through race (3ds)
