@Nico07 This is a 'video showcase' of Chronicles X, I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything more than that.

Captain Toad cgi surely?!

I have a couple of friends that are addicted to FIFA. They've never been inspired to go out and play football because of it though!

@Grumblevolcano Yep, same issue here - update done but I cant get in to online features to agree t's and c's

@Desy64 I understand what you're saying but I'd pay 3 times that for a retail release that might last 24-30 hours so to me, if the quality is there it seems about ok, if not huge.

Jazzer if that's on the Amazon description then that's what you'll get. They're usually pretty accurate and it's clear what you should get.

Hmm I'm not sure where the assumption for a free Bayonetta is coming from. Nothing I've seen (and can remember!) anywhere mentions free.

@CasuallyDressed thanks Rory. Interesting site!
Though I've found this one elsewhere, you can't beat Mario/Gizmo: http://www.redbubble.com/people/adho1982/works/10987911-its-a-me-gizmo?body_color=black&p=t-shirt&print_location=front&ref=shop_grid&style=mens

@CasuallyDressed Great video and all that, but Rory, where did you get your t-shirt?! I need one!

Missed out originally but like a few others, I've enjoyed the games Two Tribes has touched so will give this a blast. When's it due???

I wasn't sure this was needed but now I've seen it I want it!

To those wondering about a lack of Wii U in the statement: it's a financial statement, nobody would believe Nintendo if they said it would drive profits this year. Instead the 3DS will be the source for profits while they spend on regaining momentum for the Wii U and put that in a position to turn a profit the year after. Whether it works early (some of the plans sound interesting) or even at all is another thing entirely but this is aimed at investors not gamers.

For £1.79 I'll buy it just to have a play around and show some support.

Apparently in DKCTF if you turn music down and FX up you can hear what games DK is playing on his 3DS.

Is that a Rosalina Statue of Liberty in the background of toad harbour???

So we have toys in the new Sonic Boom range and they say the game will utilise the hardware - too big a leap to suggest NFC for the Wii U???

@ThomasBW84 Thanks Tom, it was bugging me I couldn't get the reference (but not so much I googled it!).

I'm going to sound thick here (not for the first time!) but what is 'the fourth wall' that both the review and comments reference being broken?! I know about the Berlin Wall but that's about it!

@ThomasBW84 I tend to copy the Miiverse image on my iPhone (then email), works ok but can't vouch for the image quality.

Wasn't Miiverse supposed to be getting picture sharing?! I remember a pic posted of the plane journey to E3 (I think)

Wtf?

Loving the 'sound effects' on the title screen for each control scheme! Genius!!

Zavvi list it as 26th July in the UK. I thought that sounded a bit pessimistic but now I see the US date it seems possible.

Interesting article and full marks to Lutz for answering a couple of questions and giving his perspective. It would have been easy to say 'no comment' and be done with it.

A considered and articulate article on a considered and articulate man.

Hmm, we get the online Challenge Mode (probably with some reasonably generous play restrictions) exclusively early. Not exclusively. The extra time is being used to make new characters and levels - again not stated as exclusive to Wii U.

Lets face it, Ubisoft would more than likely prefer a release early unless it pays them in some way to delay. My thinking is Sony and Micro offered an incentive of some sort to delay.

Surely it depends on the number of units you need to sell to make Top 40. If it's 4000 that's 10% of owners buying the same game in the same week.
I'll be more curious when there is a decent install base and a new top-drawer game is released.

@mumof2kids82 yeah that might be useful!!
Looks interesting though, might see how often my game pad dies on me before I decide

Could be good, I just have no idea if I'll ever use it.
