@Jellitoe, my thoughts exactly.
@bankai hahaha! and I wouldn't blame you if you did. No worries.

Oh @Bankai, you're the John Laws of NL. Half the time I think you're the only with any sense, the other half I question if you have any. Entertaining none the less. I'll still get RL, in the inevitable drought of games sometime in 2014.

Wow! I had no idea MK went arcade. I would love to try it out. Scratch that. I want one! It'd take me back to the Daytona USA days. Has anyone played the other two? What are they like?

A boy and his dog travelling through a world full of dimensions. I instantly thought Secret of Evermore, which I loved. Haven't played R&C or Uncharted, but the Zelda element has me intrigued. On my radar.

I'm with @WindWakerLink, the cart level reminded me of DKC. Shame it was one level. Plus Mega Man. Didn't even click with me that Ms. J's floating is like that of Princess Peach in SMB2. Slow, eh!?

Haha! Nice one @SneakyStyle. Not wrong. You can use the UK eShop here in Oz, at a higher cost and loss of NN Premium Points and Club Nintendo Coins.
If The Cave demo is any good, and IF it's released downunder, I'll get that and FINALLY Trine 2.

N64 Goldenye consumed my mates and I through high school. Blew me away. All the praise Nightfire has received makes me want it as a VC title, once Ninty gets around to GC VC for Wii U. Hurry Nintendo hurry!

YES! This was my most anticpated eShop game. It's going to be an all-nighter Thursday night

This game takes me back. I remember it being tough. Never got that far. Thanks for the review, I forgot it came out recently. Going to the eShop now.

I was fortunate enough to play it with the Beetles. Not knocking Holdens, for me some of the games appeal was racing in a beetle. Seemed unconventional and different at the time. My mates and I had so much fun with this back in the day. I would do just about anything for a reboot or 'spiritual successor'.

Yeah, this 'looks' like a definite buy. Nice screenshots. Just hope the gameplay is just as polished. Looking forward to packin' it as a Xenomorph jumps out and grabs me.

It's the 1st time I've actually looked into this game and I'm liking it. Interest spiked finding out Renegade Kid is behind it. Conversion to AUD$ would still be a nice price. Even with a fair review I'll get. Love racing any way, shape or form. News on a PAL release please @JoolsWatsham.

Mutant Mudds is a game I love to hate. It's like a drill sarge, not going to hold your hand but will punishingly push you to succed, and when you do the feeling of accomplishment is unmatched. I curse you Jools Watsham, just less then I praise you . Will definitely be getting this game.

I agree. A review for curiosity would be neat. Thanks for the update nonetheless

You're a champion @sillygostly. Thanks for that

@MadAussieBloke You're right mate. I watch a fair bit of telly and haven't seen a single Wii U ad. Come to think of it, the last Nintendo ads I saw were for the DSi Lite.

I know guys that are holding back until Zelda and SSB and it'd be safe to assume that there are alot of gamers out there waiting for 'their' game,so all in due course.

@XCWarrior Exactly. A bundle would be perfect and a first day buy.
Either way I'll be getting both. Thankfully my 'casual gamer' wife is a fan as well, go figure.

Never played a F2P game but after seeing Nintendo's take on social networking via 'Miiverse' I'm very intrigued in how Nintendo would do F2P.

After spending $15 on Planet Crashes(before any reviews) of the reputation of Mutant Mudds, I'm more than happy to part with $10 for Endgame's thoughtfulness. Not knocking Renegade Kid, just Planet Crashers. Thanks Endgame. Here's hoping other dev's try for even pricing everywhere.

@MeowGravy Too bleedin right
I've never played a single AC game but after seeing gamers glowing words for it and all the hype and frenzy over this new AC I think I'll definitely be looking into this one.

Nice review. I gave into my sons request for this game after refusing on the first game and I'm very happy with it. My son loves the co-op and I was pleasantly surprised to hear (I'm sure of it) Patrick Warburton lend his voice.

Good review and have to agree. For me overall a great game for the AUD$2.50 for it. Matching atmospheric music and 3D were very nice. A certain underground level had me over the moon. Hope they give us more.

Exactly, @LZbirdboi. As for the majority suffering for the minority, sadly, it's an unfortunate fact of life. And if in doubt about how stupid people can be, Google Darwin Awards. Can't help but think that Nintendo think they're the Jon West of gaming though.

I'm glad no one has forgotten 1080°. Thought I was alone there.

Way to go Frozenbyte. Still waiting on Trine 2 to arrive. But I was sold when they admitted fault for an Oz delay. I like it when a company can take responsibility and take care of it's customers. You're on my radar now Frozenbyte .

After spending 13 days with it, I'm happy with it. My only disappointment was not having Tribe 2 available but I've got plenty of games to occupy me till then. As for VC, I'll be dropping lots of coin in their pockets for the slew of games I missed out on for the GC.

@BenAV Exactly. Me too Can't wait for March
Go Japan go.

I wanted ME3 on launch day but the store didn't have any copies(same situation for Darksiders2). So had to pass. Never played an ME game but really interested. Want the trilogy, might get ME3 if trilogy is a far way off. Either way EA need to get it together.

Gotta' be Mighty Switch Force for me.

Good one! @Usagi-san.
It looks sooo cool. I want one. The pics are great too.

Can't wait. I've been liking these Nintendo Directs. I'm hoping for some new game reveals. Live in hope

This was going to be a launch day purchase. Was totally bummed. But got Nano Assault instead and love it. Will still be getting Trine 2 when it arrives. Love the look and the 3 player co-op will be great for my missus, son and I.
And being an Australian Aborigine I don't find 'walkabout' or 'downunder' offensive in the given context. But if you were to 'walkabout' on my 'downunder', that is slightly offensive and a little painful

Loving my Wii U, the GamePad and the eShop. Can't wait for sales and specials. I can't pass up a bargain. Although, if retail downloads stay at those prices I'd prefer going instore or shop online.

'Nintendo Land will make you you feel like a kid again'. Sure did the moment my Mii took its first steps in Nintendo Land. Great review, great game.

Haven't played a 2D Mario since SMW so I'll be getting this no hesitation. Can't wait.

@SheldonRandoms LOL. Pretty much.
Not disappointed at all. Game doesn't sound good and still have to finish Goldeneye 007 Wii.

@RupeeClock With you there.

If it comes to Australia it would motivate me to upgrade to an 3DS XL, if only to get Layton.

I'm pessimistic when it comes to third parties. Monster Hunter is the only 3rd party game (so far) that interests me.

Didn't Reggie say they have some games still under wraps which they'll unveil after launch. Nov
30th is 4 days away. So some news in a week or two would be great if only to keep the excitement rolling.

Thanks for the review. It's the only review of LI that actually got me interested in it. Something about the subjective rather than objective analysis that keeps me coming back to this site.

@ueI My feelings exactly mate. Damned if Nintendo do, damned if Nintendo don't.

@PoshSnivy I second that. Don't fully comprehend the whole thing, but I'll take it.

Bugger it. Gonna have to double dip. Loved the 3DS version. Just wanna hear that soundtrack blasting through my home on bigger speakers.

1080° Snowboarding and F-Zero in HD would be instabuys.

They were my absolute fave Dev back in the day. I would love to see their games on VC. How I miss C-c-c-c-combo breaker! I can only dream.

What!? Nintendo marching to the beat of their own drum. Who would have thought?
Haters gonna hate, whingers gonna whinge. But hey, I might be a whinger come Nov. 30th.

I'm with BenAv this week. Hurry up 30th!

Wasn't really interested in this but thanks to your review I'll definitely check it out.
