Got all excited for nothing. Thank you NL... day ruined.

You can never make the perfect game, everyone will find a fault with it somewhere along he line. For example, SS wasn't perfect for me because the spirit world parts were annoying.

But Links Awakening was perfect for me because it was well balanced and the flow of the game felt just right.

But I have a feeling that his strive for perfection will just lead him into having more regrets about what he could change or could have added. But as long as there's a Zelda game, I will always buy it.

Wasn't this shown a few months back on this very website?

They even did the same thing with the 3DS to DS comparison. Obviously, consumers can't tell the difference between Nintendo consoles whereas they can with Microsoft and Sony... I don't understand this.

Interesting... very interesting. I wonder what made them put that in the game... Zelda X Call of Duty?

There is very little I'm interested in that comes from EA. They seem to be going the way of Activision, constantly milking the same franchises over and over every year. There comes a point where people get fed up playing the same game every year.

@ScroogeMcLz It might be different in America. But I have seen plenty of parents in video game stores, supermarkets and other outlets that sell games buying their children games with a rating 16+ even though they are nowhere near that age.

Possibly its just a small scale and only based on what I've seen, but there are still parents out there who don't care.

@ScroogeMcLz I haven't seen a single parent who gives a flying pig about ratings anymore. They buy their kids whatever they want as long as they get them off their back. I even saw one parent buy GTAV for their child the other day and he must have been 10 or 11.

Gaming has changed a lot since I was growing up. It used to be about the fun of it, now it seems to be just killing, graphics and mobile gaming. Nintendo will always have a place in gaming, I just think they'll have a smaller share of the pie if they don't get their bum in gear and sort it out.

Its simple facts that Nintendo is not doing enough to market the Wii U. Every multiplatform game ad that shows up either has PS4 or Xbox One tagged on at the end... now that's good marketing sense, why isn't Ninth getting in on this scheme? It obviously works.

Consumers, especially parents now, are being drawn to the console that will offer their child the console they want. With constant bombardment of the One and PS4 screaming "buy me", parents and the gaming community as a whole will answer. But the Wii U is just sitting there saying nothing. Not to mention the limited amount of games on offer is diabolical and all the 2014 release dates just shows Ninty weren't ready for the leap to HD.

Worst advertising for a console possible. The only as I ever remember seeing is the ones for Tour De France and last years trailers. That's it.

3DS on the other hand is on the TV, internet, Google+, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even my local radio station. Even saw it on a random bus.

Wii U though? Nothing, nowhere, it might as well not exist.

I've been able to use my 3DS on planes before... maybe the 3DS doesn't emit the same radio waves phones do. Besides, who cares... I just sleep and watch films, especially if it's a long haul flight.

Batman or Professor Layton... what to buy, what to buy...

@DESS-M-8 Calm yer titties.

Looks pretty amazing on graphics alone. After seeing what Capcom did with Revelations I didn't think we'd see anything more graphically pleasing... but this looks brilliant.

I'll keep my eye on this title and see where it goes from here. Hopefully the game will be as much as what he graphics look like.

So what does Swapnote do now? Sit there and look pretty?

Same opinion as Techy. Capcom has been doing really well with their Monster Hunter series but the Resident Evil series hasn't been all that great recently. After playing through Revs again, you can see how it turns from horror based to "shoot everything" quite quickly in the campaign... Still better than RE6 though...

Hopefully see a MH4 release, just not near SSB... It'll be bad this month with Zelda and Batman.

Still bed to pick up Mirror of Fate. But I think I'm covered with Luigi's Mansion, Revelations and Monster Hunter to be battling through for now.

As for the list. Some of the games don't really shout Halloween gaming but that's just me.

Angry Bunnies? Really? What a load of rubbish.

What is this? Why are there aliens... In a Call of Duty game? What... what's going on... I am mentally confused...

Good troll. Maybe he should be apart of Nintendo's console department... Especially since he does such a good job giving them a makeover.

The lack of 3DS shotsvis disturbing. Only ever get one a week...

Well what do they expect? The Wii U version came out 3-5 months later. Most had already played it on their Xbox or PS3. Not to mention the Wii U had a bad start and most gamers these days don't support EA on Nintendo systems.

Best game ever released... Urban Champion! Everyone should buy this classic.

How do you make a muck up like that? You do it proper research before sending out stories. Bit I've lost all respect for The Sun anyway... They're a good for nothing tabloid.

A Need for Speed movie? Well, racing movies haven't done badly... But a movie based on a popular racing sim? Now that's a different story entirely... I don't see that being any good at all...

As for the Mario Kart parody. We've all seen how bad the Mario film was, a Mario Kart version would just be worse. Not to mention, most of the film will be showing blue shells constantly.

What a load of rubbish

Quite a nice touch with the name of the alternate Hyrule. Lorule, that is actually pretty neat...

The old SFX are brilliant. The more of that the better, nothing beats a bit of nostalgia hitting the senses. The game looks really promising and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Between AC, Monster Hunter, Zelda and who knows what else I can safely say the 3DS will be used 24/7 next year.

It's not like there's anything worthwhile on the Windows Store. Android all the way!

What the heck did I just read? That is just... What?

Most of the stuff he mentioned is most likely just coincidence anyway. A lot like the subliminal message in Super Mario Galaxy having stars only on U, R, M, R, G, A and Y.

And I'm guessing Mario is sexist as well along with every movie, TV and game featuring damsel in distress situations being saved by a male.

What 3DS screens?

Nothing for me again this week. Good news for me really since I can hardly play on my 3DS at the moment anyway. Gotta love working.

"the limited scope still feels like that of a side course than a main meal."

Yup, exactly how to sum it up really. But y'know, you don't expect main meals from the eShop, unless you buy a retail download.

Not... A... Thing...

Yup, just as I thought. There could well be a 3DS update announcement at the end of the ND.

It's just server maintenance most likely. If there was going to be anything truly amazing, Nintendo would announce some kind of ND. If this maintenance has anything to do with MiiVerse functionality and eShop unity then there could be a possible ND announced tomorrow?

@Shiryu I understand that, but how else is the install base going to get bigger if you don't provide what is common place on other consoles? No one wants to buy an inferior version, especially with the online component not apart of the Wii U version.

Well you can't complain with that I suppose... Still, why no online on Wii U? The Wii U can obviously handle online gameplay.

Already? Wow, that's pretty cool to be honest. Can't wait to see that, if it's any better than Steamworld Dig was, then this will be high on my to buy list.

Hmm... Sounds pretty good, I'll think about it, but I've got so many games to play at the moment I don't think it would be wise to add yet another game on to the pile.

I haven't found it as appealing as the other two Pinball games from Zen, but this doesn't deserve a 6 by any means. Obviously there a few glitches and what not at the moment, but I'm sure they'll be ironed out.

I thought this was a tie-in with Puss in Boots from Shrek... brain, you lied to me!

Who buys FIFA anymore? I've only ever played FIFA 12 and that was beyond terrible.

Nothing, well I can't complain, it was a really good week last week.

They could seriously turn Metroid into Nintendo's very own Halo if they bothered to make more Metroid games. I absolutely love Metroid, such an amazing and deep playing experience, shame you see so little of the series.

That was quite a nice surprise when I went on to the eShop today. But I don't think I really want to buy the 3DS version since I'd need to buy the CPP as well... Especially after using dual sticks on the Wii U. And I'm more interested in MH4 anyway... And I'm quote bored with MH3U. :/

Poor bloke... RIP good sir!

Not my kind if game, but it wouldn't hurt for it to be on the Wii U just to widen the third party offerings. Not to mention, it is a game that would move a lot of units and give the Wii U a more adult vibe and widen the audience market.

Hopefully be seeing a release for this game next year then? As long as it isn't released in the same month as SSB4... That would be one expensive month. D:

Star Wars Pinball, AiRace Speed and I'll look into Rage of the Gladiator. I'll think about SSFIV3D and Bike Rider DX is looking more tempting at that price point.

Diddly squat again for me this week.

Best Monster Hunter ever, I'm calling it.

@Lithium I disagree with you.
