@nessisonett I know Alan. He is very proud of his certificate. You just wait until he tries his next record attempt .This time it's going to be in a bungalow is all I can say.
@S20TEW Good to know at least one other person is in the same boat. You would like to think they operate on a first come first served basis. Glad I stopped using their store a while back apart from exclusives. Their service is absolutely terrible.
I ordered Monday morning and got an email today saying they will deliver it eventually but they have a lot of orders to get through so it has been delayed. Good luck to those that ordered later in the week.
I think I am all set. Nothing like shutting the eshop to make a lot of pennies from your long-time fans. Was holding off on a last minute sale on some things but sadly it looks like that is not happening although there are still a few hours to go!
Disappointed that Etrian Odyssey V isn't on sale. Only one from eshop I don't have and picked up all the others in a sale previously so not sure what happened with V.
@LastFootnote They charged £60 in the UK for Breath of the Wild which is £10 more than the usual price of Switch games here so they know they can get away with it already. I just assumed they charged extra for it everywhere. With inflation we are lucky they aren't using that to justify charging even more.
Hoping for a few more last minute sales in the last week of the 3DS and Wii U eshops or I will be spending more than I should that week. Grabbed these as they are at my favourite price point.
I have a Bravely Default or Bravely Second one I seem to remember. That's pretty good but as I don't really spend my time admiring menus I only ever got the free ones.
Finished Woolly World 100% last week. Dabbling in Yoshi's Island on NSO as finished it 100% many years ago. Going to give Yoshi's Island DS a go on the Wii U next. Looks like I have played the best 2 games there are though.
I tend to read through subtitles quicker than characters talk in games and skip through the VO so have no preference as to what language they speak. These games were on my radar back then so may have to take a look at these come the summer.
Hooked up my Wii U which hasn't been out of its box since the Switch came out and diving in to some exclusives that have yet to make the jump to Switch. First up Yoshi's Woolly World. That should keep me sorted for my weekend gaming. Maybe Xenoblade Chronicles X next although that is a big commitment when I only get a couple of hours or so of gaming time per day. Maybe the original Splatoon campaign before that to clear the backlog quicker.
That's just a drop in the ocean for how much they make with this game. It has now got me wondering what is the most an individual has spent so far on this game in total?
A game you enjoy is usually addictive but most have a definite endpoint unless you want to be a speedrunner. Fortnite has no end and seemingly an infinite amount of money you can spend and that is where the problem comes from. Sounds like the parents aren't happy paying Epic to babysit their kids any more.
They should definitely gone with someone a little less well known or someone who would put on a voice for Mario. It looks like a Super Mario movie but sounds like a Super Pratt movie. He'll sound the same for Garfield. I will wait for the inevitable fan dub and hope they don't go in too hard on the accent from the games as that would be worse than what we are getting.
The Trinity Masquerade edition is in the post which was still available in the UK until a few weeks ago compared to the physical version of the original which sold out in seconds.
@Giancarlothomaz It was kind of a flippant comment based on a current controversial voice over choice. I know he will be getting paid a lot more to sound nothing like the Mario we all know. I wonder what kind of fee a regular voice actor can command if they are the voice of a titular game character in a series and what she received for the previous games. You'd like to think that she was offered more as the series went on.

Just think how much more money it would have made if it didn't have Chris Pratt in it! 😜

@S20TEW My copy arrived today. Now time to relax until the next time I'm left with no option but to order from them.
Re: Random: Ex-Rare Dev Explains The Origin Of Donkey Kong Country's Name
Currently playing this on my 3DS. Nintendo got a lot more classics out of Rare than Microsoft have since buying them over 20 years ago.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Bros. Movie, And They're All Over The Place
At least The Lego Movie comparisons make sense as the main character sounds the same.
Re: Bayonetta (Physical) Is Back In Stock On My Nintendo Stores In Europe
@S20TEW Glad you got your confirmation. Looking forward to diving in over the Easter weekend if it arrives by then. Fingers crossed.
Re: Bayonetta (Physical) Is Back In Stock On My Nintendo Stores In Europe
@S20TEW Got a dispatch confirmation at 18.33 today so fingers crossed you have also got one or get one soon.

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Explorer's Guide Is Now Available As A Free Download
Pages 73-84 are missing? Otherwise it is a nice gesture. May need to finally finish BOTW before the new one.

@westman98 The headline should have read that they STILL dominate as they have been there pretty much since they released.

Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
They got away with the increased price point for the original so why not for the sequel.
Re: Feature: 40 Years Of Weird And Wonderful (And Just Plain Wrong) Super Mario TV Commercials
Rik Mayall for me. That Yoshi's Island one was something else. What were they thinking when they came up with that one?
Re: Two 3DS Games Have Been Made Free To Download On 3DS eShop (Europe)

Re: Europe's MAR10 Day Switch Bundle Will Not Contain 'Choose Your Own Game' Option
I guess it is to help boost Odyssey's sales numbers. Mario Kart doesn't need any help in that department.

If you've waited 20 years to play this game it won't be hard to wait for a restock.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Killer7
EU for me. Reservoir Dog vibes along with not being too close up on the not great faces.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 28th)
Hooked up my Wii U which hasn't been out of its box since the Switch came out and diving in to some exclusives that have yet to make the jump to Switch. First up Yoshi's Woolly World.

Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?
If they can't compete with PS5 or XSX on specs they have to go the hybrid route or it will be the Wii U all over again.

Just sign the deal. The way the news portrays things the world will have ended in 10 years so it won't matter anyway.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Name Your Pokémon?
The only time I name them is if I am going to trade with a friend and can think of something witty to call them.
Re: Round Up: All The Games From Nintendo's Indie World Showcase - November 2022

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Becomes Japan's Best-Selling Game Of All Time
So Japan had over 60% of Splatoon 3 sales by the end of September? I better get a copy and start to even out that percentage.
Re: Physical Switch Copies Of Bayonetta Are Returning To My Nintendo Store Later This Year
I did find it silly that there are more copies of the limited edition of the 3rd game.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
Is it the going rate for voice over work and that is what Chris Pratt got paid for the Mario movie?
