Cancelled my pre-order with GAME. The chest is cool, but as a little freebie for pre-orders, not stuffed in with a bunch of stuff most fans already have (LA) or are not that fussed about (folded poster) so they can stick another £15 on the price. What a shame. Anyway, the game is cheaper on Amazon so I'm pre-ordering there.
The ever-reliable Emily Rogers has suggested on Twitter that a Wii U system update (not sure if it's THE update) is likely coming very soon, so this downtime may well be related.
I take your point, and I feel the same about the Wii U's current predicament. The system-selling big hitters are coming, I just hope they're not too late...
Just backed it. The art and the game itself looks fantastic. I hope they get enough support to fully localise this, as it's a project that's clearly being handled with a lot of dedication by the developers. Excited to learn more.
@MeWario Agreed. I managed to get good deals on Mario Bros U and Nintendo Land so it made sense to do it that way for me. An old 250GB drive I had at home and there's no issue with storage.
@Metalslime You can always do what I did - pick up the Basic Wii U and then supplement it with an external hard drive. From what I understand the Nintendo Network Premium cashback thing isn't really worth it, and the other extras with the Premium pack are just stands for the console and GamePad. I'm very happy with the white Wii U now that I've expanded the storage.
I was there and it was a great day! Managed to collect quite a few puzzle pieces, and it was nice to be there with so many people all with the same interests. Definitely going to the Big Luigi!

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
Ouch, that's a pretty uninspiring lineup.
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Christmas - Year of Luigi
Don't forget the hidden 8 bit Luigis throughout SM3DW... (And that lovely Club Nintendo coin!)
Re: Nintendo Direct Broadcast Confirmed for 13th November
Why they would focus predominantly on 3DS rather than Wii U at this point is beyond me.
Re: Year of Luigi Commemorative Coin Emerges On European Club Nintendo
Yep, managed to grab mine. Used Google Chrome and took a lot of patience but I was victorious!

Re: GAME Issues Update to Backtrack on Musical Chest Offer With A Link Between Worlds Pre-Orders
Well, GAME are saying that they're finalising something else instead that they'll announce soon...

Re: Nintendo UK Looking To Raise Awareness Of Wii U With Tesco Campaign
More awareness has to be a good thing. Hope it's not too late, but if this has an effect this Christmas it could help a lot.
Re: La-Mulana is Receiving A Sequel
Yes yes yes this is awesome news. Although I still have a long way to go to finish the original.

Re: Zen Studios Confirms Star Wars Pinball: Balance of the Force DLC Pack for Fall
@withoutdk Well, I don't think anyone's tagging this as a system seller are they? It's 3 additional tables for a (very good) pinball game.
Re: Ubisoft's Child of Light Set to Shine on the Wii U
Yum, this looks gorgeous.
Re: Leaked Ubisoft Games Confirmed, but Skipping Nintendo Platforms
Real shame this isn't coming to Wii U. I'll get it on PS3, but would have preferred it on Wii U.
Re: WayForward Launches Kickstarter Campaign for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
I'm assuming that if it's funded, the game will be available in Europe as well as NA?
Edit: Yep, just heard back from WayForward that a European release is planned.
Re: Wii U Basic Supply Will Become "Limited" in The UK
@ToxieDogg If it works for you, then that's great. For me it wasn't enough of a selling point to make me want to get the Premium.

Re: Review: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (Wii U eShop)
@MegaWatts Thanks, I was quite surprised how it felt on the PS3. Think I'll give the Wii U version a go.
Re: Review: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (Wii U eShop)
Really keen to pick this up, but the PSN demo felt really sluggish and jerky. Quite disappointing. Is the Wii U version the same?
Re: DuckTales: Remastered Update to Target Leaderboard Issues on Wii U
It's a great game, no doubt. Only issue I've had is that some of the speech is very quiet compared to the rest of the sound / music.
Re: Feature: Animal Crossing StreetPass Event Brings 3DS Owners Together

Re: Nintendo Still Has Secret 3DS Games to Reveal
A 3DS specific Zelda would be fantastic, alongside a side-scrolling Metroid and the return of F-Zero. (Fingers crossed!)
