Oh dear... good bye Sega? Looks like it's going from bad to worse for Sega at this rate... maybe they can gleam back a bit of money from their digital sales and they'll go back to retail in a few years. If not, then I guess this is the road to the fail of Sega.
Yeah, but that's just annoying having to copy it over, delete it, copy over the game you want to play... I just want to play it, not faf around copying and deleting for 10 minutes.
The screens are huge! It would be like having a 3D TV in your bag. Shame it looks like rubber and looks more like a toy than a console... it looks like something you'd give to a 3 year old.
@MeWario Not really a loss if your not interested in the game is it?
@luminalace Only by 90p, it's not that much cheaper. I've bought Dillon's Rolling Western and I think that £9 was a bit too steep really, if it was £7 or £8 then I could justify it. It's a good game alright, but I don't think it's worthy of £9.
Graphics make the game look nice and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and also helps to immerse you into the video game. The problem I have with the HD graphics is... when will HD get to the point where it starts looking outdated?
Most of the launch games for PS3 still look incredibly stunning today and that was about 5 or so years ago now. I don't think the Wii U will have a problem graphic wise, I think the problem it will have is having enough power under the hood. The PS4 and Xbox 720 will probably kick the Wii U's butt in the power front, but will they be able to go above 1080p? Who knows...
That's around the 3DS' launch asking price which doesn't actually sound all that bad. I would've expected over £300 though... I guess we'll see where Nintendo lands it soon enough.
If they change Zelda I will not be pleased. The formula is perfect as it is, just leave it the heck alone! D:<
You can't make Zelda casual, it's the kind of game that has a deep gaming experience with hours of fun. It's not meant to be played as a 5 minute dungeon game!
If they change it drastically and ultimately ruin the series just to cater for the casuals, then they won't have my support. Go play with Mario or Metroid but not my Zelda!! D:<
@James Okay so it has local wireless, still doesn't explain the Nintendo network logo, I thought that was there to indicate online games? Or does it also include SpotPass functionality?
Well that's a kick in my precious crown jewels. Ah well, whatever they're making it must be something amazing... every game they've brought out so far has been outstanding so I've got high hopes.
This is the type of thing that should be integrated into the system rather than a separate game, making it integrated into the system would make much more sense.
@#20 I think I heard somewhere that Flipnote Memo turned into the SwapNote application. I think it was said by Satoru Iwata... can't remember where now... I'll get back to you on that...
I cannot find it anywhere, so regard what I said as rumour...
What a weird looking game... and the car looks like a cross between a Ferrari (front) and a Lamborghini (back). I'm not quite sure what to make of this...

Re: Angry Birds Trilogy Takes Aim at 3DS
I wouldn't pay for this anyway, I can play it for free on Google Chrome and even then it's absolute junk... so, no thanks.
If it was digital? Maybe. Retail? Definitely not!
Re: Site News: James Finds a Warp Zone
We will miss you James, but have fun at Nintendo of Europe! I hope you'll come back once a month and tell us Ninty's secrets at least.
Re: Review: NES Open Tournament Golf (Wii Virtual Console / NES)
This is the one and only review of yours I can't agree with.
This game is just nasty!
Re: Review: Topoloco (DSiWare)
Philip, the king of reviews!
Re: 3DS Virtual Console Gets Big Push in North America
@mumof2kids82 Apparently sales only apply to America at the moment... Europe always gets screwed over. e.e
Re: Mario & Sonic eShop App Hits Europe
Where's the better apps for the 3DS? This is just more junk to fill your Home Menu, c'mon Ninty give us some better apps for our console.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th July 2012 (North America)
How come no sales for Europe? We like money off games too y'know. >:/
Re: Petit Computer Lets You Make Games on Your DSi and 3DS
Umm... no... this looks horrible. Hello WarioWare D.I.Y. it's simple, but it works.
Re: SEGA Europe Closes Five Offices, Shifts Focus to Digital
Mario & Sonic will take over the world if Nintendo buys SEGA.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Two
Marvel Pinball, obviously. Playing anything else would be a sin.
Re: Try New Super Mario Bros. 2 at Games Britannia Next Week
Yeah... no thanks, too far away.
Re: Sabarasa's Protocol Changing Platforms from WiiWare
I'm thinking Wii U eShop. The "to-be-confirmed platform" just screams Wii U eShop.

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th June 2012 (North America)
Marvel Pinball is brilliant... except for the feather balls.
Re: 3DS XL Will Get Its Own Circle Pad Pro
I want to see how ugly this will be... while someone tries playing it and try to make it look comfortable. This will definitely be ROFLMFAO worthy.
Re: Escape the Swarm on DSiWare This Week
Yeah, but that's just annoying having to copy it over, delete it, copy over the game you want to play... I just want to play it, not faf around copying and deleting for 10 minutes.
Re: Escape the Swarm on DSiWare This Week
What BenAV and RainbowDash said...
I want more 3DSWare for the fact that DSiWare destroys your system memory...
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th June 2012 (Europe)
Marvel Pinball... is... mine! As for the eShop sale... I already own all those games. :/
Re: Bigger Nintendo 3DS Console Revealed
The screens are huge! It would be like having a 3D TV in your bag. Shame it looks like rubber and looks more like a toy than a console... it looks like something you'd give to a 3 year old.
Re: Watch the European Nintendo Direct Here
20% off games I already own? bah!
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Art Brings Back Old Favourites
My eyes went blind there for a few seconds, too much yellow.
Re: Review: Devil Band - Rock the Underworld (DSiWare)
How comes it's 200 in the USA, but in the UK it's 500? Do they think us brits are stupid or something? :/

I wasn't going to buy Mutant Mudds anyway... but at £8.10, good gosh I'm not touching that with a barge pole!
Re: Feature: One Year of the 3DS eShop
@uel The web and mobile access is to access the eShop from multiple places. They were not talking about the the 3DS' browser.

Re: Nintendo Goes Mobile With iPhone Cases
I could see this happening:
"Hey dude... look at my Skyward Sword iPhone! It's awesome right?"
"Maybe, but it doesn't play Skyward Sword though does it?"
"Well... no..."
"Pfft, what a joke! Look at my Angry Birds iPhone case while I PLAY Angry Birds!"
Re: ShopTo Lists Wii U at Speculative £280

Re: E3 2012: Probably The Best E3 Video Of All Time
I'm wondering though... we've seen NSAF for most of E3... I just wonder if they might be turning him into an IP? Or was it simply an advertising plan?
Re: E3 2012: Probably The Best E3 Video Of All Time
Nothing could beat "I feel just like a purple Pikmin." But that picture of Iwata is even better.
Re: E3 2012: Miyamoto Talks Zelda Wii U Experiments

Re: E3 2012: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Gets Co-operative
Then what's the Nintendo Network logo on the box for?
Re: E3 2012: Corbie's Photos From the Show So Far
You have to be invited to attend E3 if I remember correctly.
Re: Reggie: Retro's Hard at Work, Won't Say More
Well that's a kick in my precious crown jewels. Ah well, whatever they're making it must be something amazing... every game they've brought out so far has been outstanding so I've got high hopes.
Re: E3 2012: Corbie's Photos From the Show So Far
Nice pics, but no pics of Corbie himself? I am disappoint.
Re: E3 2012: Ding Dong, Friend Codes are Dead on Wii U
We were told this last year, so y'know...
I don't mind the singular Friend Code on the 3DS. The Wii on the other hand was ridiculous! Friend code for every game? Sheesh...
I just hope not to see stupid names like "NintendoSuks", "SonyWins", "360Fails!" etc. etc.
Re: E3 2012: Nintendo Land is More Expansive Than You Thought
This is the type of thing that should be integrated into the system rather than a separate game, making it integrated into the system would make much more sense.

Re: E3 2012: Watch Ubisoft's Wii U Games Live Right Here
This has to be the worst E3 presentation I've ever seen...
Re: E3 2012: Watch Ubisoft's Wii U Games Live Right Here
If this is going to change the way we play, I don't want to live on this planet any more.
Agreed James...
Re: E3 2012: Watch Ubisoft's Wii U Games Live Right Here
Wow... this looks crap...
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Announce Bigger 3DS Tomorrow
So soon? What the hell? I hope this is just a rumour because if it's true that'll be an annoying kick in the nuts!
Re: E3 2012: Nintendo Direct Live
Amazing.. the Wii U does everything, it's literally what they said last year, it's the "swiss army knife of controllers", how correct they are.
I think this blows the competition out of the water, it does everything... and more.
Re: E3 2012: Watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live Here
I'm guessing this won't be available to watch on here now?
Re: Mutant Mudds Closer to European Release
Took your time didn't ya? I was interested until I found out that this game is apparently really hard so... yeah, no.
Re: Review: Rayman (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)
I'll probably buy it for the nostalgia factor alone. I played this to death when I was younger and still remember that devilishly hard mirror level...
I'll probably hate it now but I found this game really easy when I was younger, I remember beating it 2 or 3 days after I recieved it.

Re: Nintendo Teases Wii U Launch Line-Up
Could be Zelda for the first one... and I'm guessing Mario for the 2nd and I'm torn between F-Zero and Kirby for the third.
