Sorry kudos for trying, but that "GameBoy" aesthetic they tried is just butt-ugly. Looks like it did in the 90's - unattractive, so difficult to see you practically have to squint, and like pea soup. And I'm guessing there's no contrast option which makes it even worse.
@Mus1cLov3r The definition of limited should not be "sold out within minutes of announcement and cancelled orders due to not receiving enough stock from the supplier." It should be made illegal for a product to sell out before its even hit the shelves.
Criminal that not one Trauma Center game was mentioned. I'd pay top dollar for Trauma Team in particular, as of course Europe never got it, and I would kill to be able to play it.
It's funny - I actually thought about downloading ZombiU the other day, until I found it on the cheap in my local Sainsburys. Oh well, I'll grab some themes on Xmas Day instead.
Why? Why is it always sodding GAME? Why can't literally any other store make this kind of offer? Why did they have to be rescued from administration instead of letting them rot like they deserved to? Why do game companies always partner with these muppets instead of anybody else?
@Quorthon GAME is not "more limited in space." Asda is a supermarket first and foremost, with an entertainment section being an afterthought, which is split 3 ways between music, movies and games, so this actually means Asda has barely a third of what GAME would stock. And GAME specialises in games - of course it will be smaller as it is not a supermarket, yet has more shelf space for games despite being smaller.
@Quorthon You do not know that a product is not selling if the store in question never bothered to stock what is claimed to be "not selling" in the first place. Case in point - Amiibos are supposedly flying off the shelves, yet my GAME has never stocked them.
@ToxieDogg Unfortunately a lot of high street shoppers are sheep and flock to it simply because there aren't any other shops that stock games and gaming merchandise to the extent they do, and the other shops that do aren't as widespread as GAME (Grainger) or get bought out by GAME. (GameStation) Doesn't help that HMV, Tesco's and Asda's games sections have gone down the toilet recently.
@NavySpheal You want a game that has supposedly been in development for nearly 2 years with absolutely no gameplay information, pictures or videos, what type of game it will be and not even any concept art to show for that dev time? K then.
@Grumblevolcano Both Pkmn Ruby/Sapphire steelbook editions disappeared from the site around early November then mysteriously came back around the 17th which is when I decided to place an order before they disappeared again. I have no idea why they disappeared only to come back but hey, maybe the same thing will happen with Smash.
Oh NICE! Gotta have that Groudon theme! Though I do wish Nintendo would stop making quite so many Mario themes in a row. Maybe Metroid, Kirby, DK or Wario would be nice? Heck I'd even take a PAPER Mario theme just to shake things up if they're gonna continue making Mario themes.
Power Rangers just needs to die already. Ever since Saban reclaimed it it's been even worse than Disney's efforts, and the games are always crap. Every new series just taints what was a once good show.
@Larryislife Not even remotely the same thing as the Color was released a DECADE after the original GB, whereas this is only 3. Major difference. And Color added color to games (well duh) but this only gives us a CPU upgrade, which will likely not add more than a smoother framerate, larger draw distances and possibly multitasking features.
While this is only confirmed for the UK at present, it would be safe to assume that Nintendo of America and Nintendo Europe are planning similar demos.

Re: Review: Flap Flap (3DS eShop)
Is it possible to start a petition to stop certain games releasing on the eshop or remove them once they drop?
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (Europe)
How nice of you to release everything Kirby related BUT THE ACTUAL NEW GAME. Seriously, is this supposed to be NoE's idea of a consolation prize?
Re: Review: Best of Arcade Games - Air Hockey (3DS eShop)
@thejfh1999 Uh, never said they did? It was directed to the devs themselves, not that they'll ever read it, but still.....
Re: Review: Best of Arcade Games - Air Hockey (3DS eShop)
Please just stop with your "best of" games, because clearly they're not the best of anything.
Re: Talking Point: New Nintendo 3DS, Operation Faceplate NA and the Bigger Picture
Nintendo said "no" to the standard New 3DS, so stop badgering them and wasting their time.

Re: Fry's Electronics Cancels Some New Nintendo 3DS Majora's Mask System Pre-Orders Due to Excessive Demand
They should be forced to honor every single order they receive and cancel none, and be fined if they can not do this.
Re: Best Buy Cancellations of Majora's Mask 3D New Nintendo 3DS Bundles Affects More Customers

Re: Nexis Games Defends UCraft's Multiplatform Move and PC Beta Release
If you have to defend your point, that means you are admitting your point is flawed and therefore you have just forfeited the argument.

Re: Mad Men Football Shows Off Its New N64-Inspired Sports Uniform
@SpookyMeths Maybe you don't, but I do. The game looks terrible now, and it'll continue to look terrible later.
Re: Mad Men Football Shows Off Its New N64-Inspired Sports Uniform
@SpookyMeths Please don't delude yourself into believing that "pre-alpha" means the game will look better post-alpha, because it won't.
