Re: Wii Mini Is Hitting The UK On March 22nd

Gavintendo

Just a heads up for anyone in the UK, you can get the light blue Wii with Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Mario & Sonic 2012 and Metroid Other M from ShopTo for £90.

It takes component, SD cards and has Wifi, but no GC compatibility.

Re: Tips: Two New Super Mario Bros. 2 Secrets

If the golden raccoon block appears on a level and then you save and quit, you lost the sparkly stars. It happen to me on the very last castle on the final secret world. I was pretty sad. Luckily, if you beat the level without using it the block disappears from the level and the sparkly stars returned. I tested this to double check.

I've got 5 nice sparkly stars

Re: GameCube is Ten Years Old Today in Europe

I didn't need reminding. I spent so long waiting for a UK launch date announcement that when May 3rd 2002 was finally announced the date seems to have been engraved into a section of my brain.

One of my favourite consoles ever. It helped me get through secondary school, which I hated lol, and made me feel proud to like a console that wasn't just the in thing, like the PS2 was at the time.

Re: Nintendo Still Has Secret 3DS Games to Reveal

Gavintendo

Metroid is the main thing I want, whether it be a 2D side scroller or Prime 4 or both.

F Zero, Eternal Darkness 2 (Pretty confident this will be announced, as Nintendo re-trademarked Eternal Darkness and Luigis Mansion just before Luigis Mansion 2 was announced), Big Brain Academy, Wave Race and Donkey Kong 64 3D would be nice too.

Re: Rayman Legends is Coming to Wii U, Supports NFC

I really hope their is a black Wii U and controller at launch. I'm not buying white again. It doesn't matter how clean you are, those white rubber circle pads will be yellow and discoloured in a matter of weeks.

@James, do your "sources" know of any plans to release the Wii U in black at launch?

Re: Nintendo UK Launches Repair Website

Gavintendo

Doesn't matter where you go, you always get one of these people who think they know it all and just because their 3DS doesn't have a specific issue, it means everyone else who does is either crazy or lying.

Screen scratching happens, from no fault of the user. Deal with it.

Re: Rhythm Thief Misses UK Charts

Gavintendo

Got it Thursday. Love it. Up to Chapter 7. That second Samba De Amigo stage is so hard to get an A on

Anyway, as Nintendo were in charge of marketing this game in Europe, this is partially their fault. If they advertised it as much as they do Professor Layton, which this game is very similar to, it would have easily sold better. Nintendo would rather waste money on hiring some idiots to drive around in "real" Mario Kart's to advertise old games everybody already has though.
