@4 The Wii U is coming out in a year. I don't think Nintendo will be abandoning it just yet. @3 You're not wrong. Nothing for me to get here, hopefully next week...
@acerocks @bboy2970 Let's all just try to get along, right? You're not even arguing about the topic at hand any more. And I'm not sure the general consensus here is "Sony=bad" but "Nintendo=more loved". Or something...
I like the idea of the game having "thrills" and a "quicker pace" but part of the reason I preferred Galaxy over G2, for example, was because of the exploration.
@3 @4 Mr. Vonseux has a point though. For a good 20 mins after it was unveiled at E3 I was wondering whether the new controller was for the Wii. After all, it's got the name "Wii" in it, and a picture of the console itself never appeared. Fortunately enough, my incredible intellect managed to decipher just what exactly was going on, but those who didn't follow E3 in such detail may still be bamboozled.
@James Really? I thought it was one of those age-old series that's been churning out parking games for donkey's years. Maybe I'm getting confused with all the parking games you can find on the internet.
I like to think of physical media as the main course, while downloadable games are an accompaniment or side dish. Anyone that's eaten at Nando's will know what I'm talking about.
I skipped to about 12 minutes in where a creepy old man-goblin seems to be forcing a fair-haired woman with a slimy purple thing growing out of her to eat a raw heart. That's put me off a bit, not really my cup of tea. I'll stick with Xenoblade.

Re: Review: Cubic Ninja (3DS)
Wasn't expecting this to be so mediocre. It got a good review in ONM, maybe if I see it cheap...
Re: Find May's Mysteries: The Secret of Dragonville this Summer
I couldn't find the trailer...
Re: Square Enix Pondering Dragon Quest X for Wii and Wii U
I'd rather it stayed solely on the Wii. Make a new one for the Wii U. Bah, I hate dual releases. At least this is news about the game...

Re: European Ocarina of Time Soundtrack Offer Extended
Harumph. They'd better contact me. I could've sworn the offer was already until the 30th though...
Re: Sakurai "In Talks" to Bring Original Kid Icarus to 3DS
YES! I'd love this to be a 3D Classic. This game in particular deserves it.
Re: Fils-Aime: "3DS Didn't Launch Prematurely"
A steady drum beat?! Isn't Luigi's Mansion coming out in a year?

Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
@29. Me too, guv. Me too. I just want it to play games.
@31 Sony like to whip things out don't they?
Re: Europe, Expect Star Fox 64 3D on 9th September
I would have quite liked it to be called Lylat Wars 3D. Good to see Shinobi's got a release date too.
Re: Super Mario 3DS Has More Thrills, Less Exploration
I like the idea of the game having "thrills" and a "quicker pace" but part of the reason I preferred Galaxy over G2, for example, was because of the exploration.
Re: Nintendo Not Interested in Producing Free-To-Play Software
Good. I hate freemium games. They're the bane of my life on the app store and they'd be the bane of my life on a Nintendo console.
Re: Ocarina of Time 3D Advert Features Zelda and Her Father
Ah, that's funny. Most I've laughed all day.
Re: Wii U Won't Support Blu-ray or DVD Playback
Don't really care to be honest.
Re: Iwata Talks Wii U Voice Chat and Social Networking
I didn't realise the controller was so big. It's the size of a bus.
Re: Nintendo Buys Up Domains for WiiUWare, Wii U Sports and More
The U suffix at the end of those doesn't really work...
"Wiibalanceboardu"?
And WiiUWare is an awful name to boot.
Re: First Impressions: Nintendo Wii U
It's the dual circle-pads I'm worried about.
Re: Share Your Own Stages Online in Tekken Wii U
A whole year, eh? Seems a bit over the top.
Re: Rumour: Wii U is 50% More Powerful Than PlayStation 3
As long as it's a least slightly above par in comparison with the PS3 then I don't care.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (North America)
I've got Snail Mail for the ipod and it's not too shabby. Not sure how well suited to WiiWare it is though.
Re: Iwata: "We've Finally Reached the Digital Sales Starting Line"
It's getting better but it's still behind.
Re: First Impressions: Mario Kart (3DS)
So, do you have to glide every single time you're airborne, or can you choose?
Re: Nintendo Website May Be Victim of Phishing Scam
Hm. Haddock prices are known to vary from place to place. I recommend sourcing you phish straight from the sea.
Re: Review: BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 (3DS)
Ah, it's not announced in the UK. That's why I hadn't heard about it. Any chance it will be?

Re: Darksiders II Launching in 2012 for Wii U
So what's this game all about then?
Re: Ubisoft's Wii U Exclusive is Chock Full of Space Freaks
So, do you think there's a chance Beyond Good and Evil 2 will come to the Wii U?
Re: Wii U's IBM Power Processor Means Business
I see.
Re: This is the Wii U Controller in All Its Glory
Hm. I'm worried about the battery life. Looks like I'm going to need to buy some more rechargeable ones. .
Re: Here's Your List of DS Games Due Out This Year
Yeah, but seriously, where's Solatorobo and Fire Emblem? Doesn't Solatorobo have a definite release date of 1st July anyway?
Re: Nintendo Announces Picture Lives! for 3DS eShop
There's something deliriously amusing about that video.
Re: Wii has a Plan to Make Money with Fortune Street
Did someone say Dragon Quest characters?
Re: Mario Kart 3DS Drives, Glides and Dives this Year
Hm...I'm not sure about the hang-gliders but I'm more than prepared to give them a crack.
Re: Paper Mario in Motion is a Many Splendoured Thing
Looks more like the first two, which can only be a good thing.
Re: New Trailer for Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Lies In Wait
Everything looks absolutely splendid, apart from Link's face.
Re: Posting Luigi's Mansion 2 Screenshots Makes Us Feel Good
This was the most exciting E3 announcement for me. I literally screamed when this came up.
Re: Your First Look at the Wii U Console
I was hoping for something a little less Wii-like, just to change things up a bit, you know? I can live with this though.
Re: 3DS eShop Has Officially Opened Its Doors
Excitebike for me.
What ever happened to the BSOD? That's the reason I didn't update my 3DS the last time. Has that all been resolved?
Re: Connect Your Club Nintendo and eShop Accounts for Benefits
WOW! One HUNDRED stars! Think of the possibilities!
Re: Even Mercenaries Need a Fresh Change of Clothes
What in the name of...?
Burton's alt-costume isn't odd or anything.
Re: Europe, This Is Your eShop Launch Day Line-Up
Hmph...
Re: Review: Dream Trigger 3D (3DS)
I was desperate for this to get a good score, anything to plug the yawning gap between now and Ocarina.
Re: Square Enix Officially Announces Heroes of Ruin 3DS
All these promising 3DS games over the horizon...TOO far over the horizon...
Re: First BIT.TRIP SAGA Screens Incoming
I knew holding off on the Wiiware versions was a good idea.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th May 2011 (North America)
@James Really? I thought it was one of those age-old series that's been churning out parking games for donkey's years. Maybe I'm getting confused with all the parking games you can find on the internet.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th May 2011 (North America)
Just how many Valet Parking games are there?
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Made the 3DS Download-only?
I like to think of physical media as the main course, while downloadable games are an accompaniment or side dish. Anyone that's eaten at Nando's will know what I'm talking about.
Re: Zelda's Timeline is Simple In the Hands of Dr Emmett Brown
I didn't realise Link had such a squeaky voice.
Re: Check Out The First Hour of Pandora's Tower
I skipped to about 12 minutes in where a creepy old man-goblin seems to be forcing a fair-haired woman with a slimy purple thing growing out of her to eat a raw heart. That's put me off a bit, not really my cup of tea. I'll stick with Xenoblade.
Re: SEGA Makes Shinobi Official, First Shots Inside
So it's no longer a compilation then, eh? It's probably for the best. Looks pretty good though, I'll be following it closely.
