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.
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 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.
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.
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?
The game looks extremely generic, but if it turns out to be fun, I'll get it from ShopTo. If its GAME and Ganestation only for online as well, I'll leave it.
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.
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.

Re: Two Tribes: Toki Tori 2 Development is Complete
Can't wait. I want to enjoy using my Wii U again. Good games help with that.

Re: Wii Mini Is Hitting The UK On March 22nd
Ill get one for my collection if its like £50.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo DS Lite
That's cool but you should have used a more pristine DS Lite. The rubber pads on the back are badly stained and the shoulder buttons have discoloured.
Re: The European Version Of F-Zero On Wii U Virtual Console Comes With 60Hz Support
Having the option to choose would probably significantly delay VC games in Europe.
Re: The European Version Of F-Zero On Wii U Virtual Console Comes With 60Hz Support
I'm happy. It gives me another great reason to repurchase VC games of which I've already bought the regular Wii version.
I just hope they keep releasing them in 60hz.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (Europe)
Can you guys ask NoE if all Wii U VC games will be 60hz in Europe now? I'd also be interested to know if Balloon Fight will be updated.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February 2013 (Europe)
A good week. I'll be downloading everything except the discounted stuff, as I already have it.
THANK YOU NINTENDO FOR LISTENING TO US ON MIIVERSE ABOUT 60hz!
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January 2013 (Europe)
Might as well let my 3DS hibernate in a drawer til March.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2013 (Europe)
Zen Pinball 2 is out on January 24th in Europe.
Re: The Big Wii U Survey
Are the results of this going to be shared in some form with Nintendo? I'm genuinely curious.

Re: Rayman Legends Release Date Confirmed For The UK
According to NoE's weekly download news on their site, the Rayman Legends demo came out yesterday. It isn't on the eShop though...
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2012 (Europe)
Yeah, Lovefilm isn't on the eShop, and the icon on the Wii U menu says it isn't out yet.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th November 2012 (Europe) - Wii U Edition
Lol £50
Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to 3DS XL Owners
Someone help...?
Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to 3DS XL Owners
HELP. I have TWO 3DS XL's registered on my ONE Club Nintendo account. Can I still get two games?
Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to 3DS XL Owners
No banner showing for me
Re: Wii U Software Storage on USB Devices Detailed
Don't believe it for a second. It's ONM, they aren't the most reliable source if you ask me.
For one, they gave MySims 94%.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2012 (Europe)
Why are Nintendo pricing eShop downloads much higher than they used to? PullBlox is £1.80 cheaper yet has more content.
Re: Europe Is Getting White And Pikachu Yellow 3DS XL Consoles Before The Year Is Out
It's not noticeable on the box, but it is on the system.
Re: Europe Is Getting White And Pikachu Yellow 3DS XL Consoles Before The Year Is Out
I'd never get the Pikachu one as once you see that Pikachu has big black nipples, you can't unsee it.
Re: Nintendo Announces Big eShop Releases Coming This Year
Hydrophobia? I thought it was a port/sequel to that PSN/XBLA game.
Obviously you meant Hydroventure, but was it a mistake or intentional?

I've got 5 nice sparkly stars
Re: Review: Bird Mania 3D (3DS eShop)
May 17th in Europe. NoE site.
Re: Ratings Board Leaks Ubisoft's Rabbids Rumble
Wii U launch game, along with a port of Rayman 2. It's Ubusift tradition to have a rushed port of Rayman 2 at console launches now.

Re: Bird Mania 3D Confirmed for May Flight in PAL Regions
That should make it £1.80 here. If so I'll download it straight away.
Re: Iwata: "Overwhelmingly Rich" Wii U Launch Line-Up "Too Much"
Wii U Play With Mii
New Super Mario Bros. Mii
Pikmin for U
F Zero UX
Eternal Darkness 2
Metroid Prime 4
All launch day titles.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (Europe)
Incase nobody has remembered, the day these games are available is the Gamecube's 10 year anniversary in Europe!
Re: PEGI Rates Rayman for 3DS Virtual Console
Game & Watch Gallery 2 will be only the second Nintendo published GBC game released in 10 months. That's absolutely appalling in my opinion.
Re: Midnight Purple 3DS Hits North America on 20th May
Suddenly I fancy Ribena.
Re: PEGI Rates Rayman for 3DS Virtual Console
Nice. I'll buy every Game Boy Color game they throw at me. There should be a lot more of them available by now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (Europe)
G&WG2 is the Color version. There's been a trailer on the Nintendo Channel for ages.
Re: Rayman Legends is Coming to Wii U, Supports NFC
@James I'll just assume you're trying to hint that you know black will be available at launch
Re: Rayman Legends is Coming to Wii U, Supports NFC
Nope meaning they don't know or nope there's no black?
Re: Nintendo Still Has Secret 3DS Games to Reveal
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: Heroes of Ruin is GAME-Exclusive in UK
The game looks extremely generic, but if it turns out to be fun, I'll get it from ShopTo. If its GAME and Ganestation only for online as well, I'll leave it.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Currently replaying Metroid Prine via the Trilogy on Wii. Just got the Grapple Beam in Phazon Mines.
Also enjoying Colors! 3D.
Re: Inchworm Animation Reaches Europe Next Week
I don't support drastically late releases in Europe, and especially not with an increase in price. No thanks!
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Development Landed on Wii, Briefly
I read about this quite a while ago, but yeah it would explain all those old IGN-fueled rumours of a Kid Icarus revival for Wii.
Maybe they'll do a Sony and eventually port it to Wii, like how Sony ported some PSP games to PS2, such as WipEout.
Re: Nicalis Expects VVVVVV to Reach Europe in Early May
Not sure whether I'll download it. Don't want to support half a year delays in Europe in 2012.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th April 2012 (Europe)
Yeah. I'd be much more inclined to buy a bundle of Shaun the Sheep 3D episodes. Say £2.70 for a pack of 5.
Re: Gaijin Drops Biggest Hint Yet at Wii U Runner2
Will be getting straight away despite the terrible art style (My opinion).
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (Europe)
Play one fighting game, you e played them all, especially when it comes to Street Fighter, then the statement is quite literal.

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th April 2012 (Europe)
Already completed Zelda without restore points last year when the Ambassador games launched, so nothing for me.
Re: Review: SpeedThru: Potzol's Puzzle (3DS eShop)
Nice. A review of a first party downloadable 3DS game a few hours before its even out. Will buy later if I'm not still busy with Rhythm Thief.
