Is it just me or are there guard rails set up along the perimeter of Baby Park? If that's the case they've completely ruined the best thing about Baby Park and made it into a slight variation of Excitebike Arena if I can't send items anywhere
@shingi_70 They do it for electronics all the time yes, but it's a completely different thing from selling a gift you don't want (Like his nana hideous sweater comparison) and going out to buy something you don't want just to sell it on and profit from people that actually do want it but can't buy it themselves.
Given it didn't take too long for Dual Destinies to go on sale (Not that I didn't think it was worth full price anyway) and I've already beat all the trilogy I think I'll just wait for a sale on it before buying it to appease my obsessive collecting habits.
Wow, this is incredibly impressive considering Smash didn't have the "Buy the game, get a free game" promotion that MK8 had, not to mention MK generally being a more established franchise.
Thanks to all the mis-communication going around that's news to me, massive letdown that, if I wasn't getting the adapter for a fiver on top of Smash I probably wouldn't bother now.
The Wii U stuff I can understand but I'm really let down if they can't make it compatible with wii mode, there's a lot of classic virtual console games I'd like to play on multiplayer and I don't want to shell out for 4 classic controllers on top of me 4 GC, 4 wiimote, 4 wimote plus, 4 nunchuch, gamepad, pro controller and wii fit board.
I'll still buy the adapter since it's only a small amount on top of smash and I've friends that will demand to use it but I'm still let down. Hoping for a Mario Kart patch at least down the line.
Few months ago I posted on miiverse that having friends over for a few beers and nintendo land made for a great night, I was subsequently warned for breaching a rule that didn't exist in the miiverse code of conduct.
I do respect what nintendo are trying to do but if I can't act like an adult online (especially when I'm being a polite adult) then it justs put me off going online, after that happened I was so annoyed I didn't use miiverse for 2 months.
I don't love this but I'll happily put down 9 quid for Tennis and Bowling for multiplayer gatherings (Though I'm a tad annoyed we're getting Tennis instead of table tennis)
Is Motionplus compulsory? I only have 1 right now (I had 2 add ons but they've sadly gone missing)
This isn't news, they've been refusing to stock new wii u games since Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate came out in my local branch, they even stopped getting in new 3DS games at the same time before realising how well the console turned things around.
This is a downloadable game, I doubt the fact it's rated M is going to factor into anyone's buying choice choice and it'll come down to if people want to play a phoenix wright game, they'll download it. If they don't want to, they won't. I can't see anything else being a factor.
I agree that it's mostly a lot of hot hair over nothing Damien in theory but all it takes is one game (for example Persona 4 arena) to take months to get here for people to want them gone. Nintendo though to their credit have normalised release dates across the world really well.
This isn't news, I had to get a ps3 last generation because Wii games where too scarce and majority of third party games where lacklustre scaled down ports.
Messy structure, I personally wasn't up for the original paypal crowdfunding because I dislike the idea of giving money for a target that may not be hit, which quickstarter thankfully goes around, but I can't see this approach working at all.
Zombies being able to attack me through walls, zombies without arms hitting me, being able to run through the shutter doors in a closing set piece near the safe house and worst of all - losing a survivor in the catacombs below Tower of London only to have him not regenerate as a zombie to get my stuff back despite restarting multiple times, so yeah a few things they can work on.
Oh, also door loading, I should not nearly die because a game takes forever to load the area beyond a door and I can't open it until it does.

Re: Hands On: Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter
This doesn't work with Wii Mode?!?

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Land 2 (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
Feel I had to post as one of the few people that would get the "Ben Reily" reference (Grew up reading 90's Spidey)
I was considering this but if it's basically a portable DKC2 it seems I'm better off passing for now.
Re: Smash Bros. Fans Teased Further by New Mode Screenshot
I could be wrong but has crazy hand even been shown without Master alongside him? If not Master Hand could be along for the ride in the right mode.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 3 Arrives on Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console on 26th December in Europe
Thomas, I'm pretty certain I saw in that broadcast that the wii u version would have a price of 2.79 for the discount and then standard pricing.
Edit - Just double checked and yeah, it's 2.79 discount before being the normal 3.49.

Re: Wii Sports Club Takes The Competition Online With HD Visuals And Wii MotionPlus Support
Also since most of us are premium members it's worth remembering we'll get 10% off this
Re: Wii Sports Club Takes The Competition Online With HD Visuals And Wii MotionPlus Support
Bah, MotionPlus only, guess I'll be buying Wii Party for the free wii remote plus.
Re: Wii Sports Club Takes The Competition Online With HD Visuals And Wii MotionPlus Support
I don't love this but I'll happily put down 9 quid for Tennis and Bowling for multiplayer gatherings (Though I'm a tad annoyed we're getting Tennis instead of table tennis)

Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Has Some DLC in Japan
I approve of this, this is probably my most eagerly awaited game of the year.
Re: Talking Point: F-Zero GX HD Could Boost the Franchise onto Wii U
F-zero GX is still a common game in my gaming nights, a HD version would be loved.

Re: Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusively To Wii U This April

Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Approaches One Million Sales
