@Sentinator I agree. Uncharted is like a Hollywood blockbuster all flash with very little substance. Plus all three PS3 games are remarkably similar. I will admit I loved Journey but thatgamecompany are no longer Sony exclusive so whatever next masterpiece Jenova Chen comes up with could possibly be released on Wii U. I think he is going for IOS though but I do have an iPad not that I ever play IOS games.

I think it would be nice if it was intentional but Nintendo are so afraid to offend religious groups in the west I see them "fixing" this bug. It's funny though because Birdo is a transvestite, there were the Magypsies in Mother 3 and there were openly gay characters in Fire Emblem Awakening (Victor and Vincent). So Nintendo haven't shied away from it in Japan it's just NOA that's the main issue.

I have all the packs. EXPonential Growth is amazing for reclassifying and grinding skills. Harvest scramble is useful if you want to improve the relationship class of certain units. Plus you get a free Master Seal every time you beat the boss.

If this gets released in Oz ill be buying it digitally. Brownie Brown (1UP) deserve as much profit as possible (I never got to pay for any of the Mother games). Plus I can see the game being like Animal Crossing with awesome replayability.

akabenjy commented on Review: Ikachan (3DS eShop):

"There's not much to explore, no real challenge, and no reason whatsoever to come back. It introduces concepts that depart almost immediately, and does not provide optional objectives, and its lone boss fight is criminally easy."

I don't mean to be negative but how does this receive the same score as The Cave? You go from giving good games like the Denpa Men a 9 (which is a bit generous) to being overly harsh on a game like the Cave (I think a 7.5 would have been more reasonable).

@Raiko I hate when people say that. It is a puzzle game. Is Tetris not a game? Little Inferno is an incredibly clever game with an absolutely beautiful ending. You really need to see the obvious and the not so obvious to truly appreciate the humour and the level of detail that has gone into this game, and yes it is a game.

It's funny because we are all blaming Nintendo but it is obviously a response to the individual classification authorities of a variety of European countries. Obviously Nintendo have taken a more hard line approach than their competitors but this isn't happening in America or Australia so there must be a specific reason why it's happening in Europe. It could have something to do with Anders Breivick who knows? Australia's videogame classification board have only recently implemented an R18+ classification, before that certain games weren't even released in Australia. Even DOA: D was removed from shelves to be reclassified because the Australian classification board thought you could look up Kasumi's skirt and that was pornographic! I'm not saying I agree with it but it is obviously Nintendo trying to avoid a lawsuit.

@True_Hero Sorry I haven't tried using motion controls for this game. Apparently you can but I'm not a huge fan of motion gaming. I've used the Gamepad and Pro Controller but I haven't tested out Wii Motes. I would assume that you can use the Gamepad Gyro also like with the 3DS but I haven't tried that either. I can give it a go tomorrow.

@photofool83 I agree and honestly what 18-30 goes to bed before 11pm? Seriously it's 3:00AM here and I'm just going to bed. I really don't see an issue with this. If you want the game buy it at 11pm and let it download overnight, it's going to take a while anyway. The only problem is kids know how to use the internet better than their parents so they probably have already read this article and will just download the game at 11pm.

Also for all the adults who go to sleep before 11PM go to the local store and buy the game. How hard is that? People are having a fit and this really doesn't affect that many people. The eshop sales in Europe are abysmal anyway because you can get the retail versions of most Wii U games considerably cheaper anyway so for the people that really want to pay more for ZombiU to have it on their HDD having to purchase it after 11PM will hardly be the deal breaker.
