@Luna-Harmony I agree with the steel book. Would look good. I know, yodel have never been reliable.No idea when it will turn up. So much for that email from Nintendo saying that it would be delivered today.
@123akis ah right. It didnt start well when Nintendo email saying it will be delivered on or before the 3rd of june. You would think that Nintendo UK would send them out extra early as a sort of bonus. As they must make more money from selling directly to customers.
I ordered the Luigi 25th anniversary 3DSXL and got it 2 days before realease date. I then ordered a Wii Fit U Pedometer and got that 2 days early. Thats what i thought would happen all the time.
Just watched the first 10 minutes and its brilliant to watch. I have 149 stars on the DS version, cannot remember what secret star i need to get as i have cleared every course.
@ledreppe
i don't blame you. Iv got loads of Gamecube games still to complete. Shame the Wii U wasn't compatible. Iv still got to have the Wii set up in the other room.
@Christoff i would love to play Goldeneye, most of Rare games. Turok was classic too.
Iv now finally got round to completing Diddy Kong Racing on DS. But would pay to have the original on Wii U.
I know, they have an amazing game library that they seem to not want to make playable on VC.
I understand License problems with games like Goldeneye. But surely if the game was out, then the profit was 33% Nintendo, 33% Rare, then 33% activision or whoever has the James Bond license now. Thats better than 0% of nothing.
@Christoff I put £30 on my eShop account ages ago, before one of the Nintendo Directs, expecting them to announce N64 games, then they would be available after the Direct. Sadly they still refuse to announce them.
@ledreppe exactly what i was thinking. Iv played the original advance wars that my friend had on GBA years ago. Might pick it up. But all the others i have on 3DS. They need to put out alot of VC games on all formats every week. I'm still waiting for N64 games!!!!
@turnmebackwards I have only ordered 2 things from Nintendo UK store, both came a couple of days early. Wii Fit U meter came early before Wii Fit U was released. The other was Luigi 3DS, which i got before its actual release. I think they do send them out maybe a day earlier. Because if a Game store sent them out early, Nintendo could complain, but they aren't going to tell them selves off. This will be my first actual game from their store. So i hope they keep doing that.
Good, i now have an original 3DS, blue 3DS XL, luigi 3DS XL and Zelda 3DS XL. But i only use the blue 3DS XL, the other 2 are just a collectable at the moment. Because I'm put off playing them as some games have updates and extra save data. Unlike original DS it didn't matter as it was just on the game card. A cloud based option with the Nintendo ID would be brilliant.
My order arrived yesterday and it is all beautiful. I like the metal bookmark. Even though i have 5 of them when they were previously released. Good to now have Ocarina of Time 3D hardbook. I was lucky and ordered this about 4months ago at £66. So i got a bargain!
I've only had 1 match. Every time i go to online game, click next......next.....then when it is about to start searching......i have an error code saying i can't play online.
Then i go on GHOSTS and play online lag free no problem.
I have played about 90 mins and the game looks great, and i agree that its meant to be stealth. When i try a fire fight i hate pressing in the right analogue stick to see down the sight.
@schopaia the eShop doesn't have any N64 games for the wii u. There's a massive library that I'm sure plenty of people would want to play. I don't think there's a big problem with the wii u anyway, I love it, just wish the name was different to begin with so the apparent casual gamers wouldn't get confused.
@DePapier I know, i did regret that when i was playing, but then i watched some of the DIRECT afterwards and made more sense, going to play through the demo again ready for the release.
@DrSlump i completely agree, i don't understand why people want DLC so much, when i get a game, i want it to be complete. Not release a game then 6 weeks later, here's loads more that we kept back but you have to pay.
Ah rite, would have been more tempted if the disc wouldn't be required. I reckon i will just wait for boxed version, i have loads of games to complete first anyway, so not too bad.
@tchaten i agree, it is annoying they both aren't released on the same day. also, if you download it, will you have to have mario bros U disc in to play? or will it be brand new content to play from wii u menu?
well it isn't a little bit like galaxy, it is galaxy no wonder its only on nintendo consoles, sega probably felt guilty for copying it. after saying that, does look really good, and i would love to play more galaxy with a hedgehog
The subtitles are annoying, but i can live with the PAL game. I thought that all of the Virtual Console games were now going to be the 60hz version though, why release other games on the same day as 60hz.

Mine just says its in transit. Haven't got a clue when it will turn up.
Re: Nintendo Announces The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U
I will buy one asap and hopefully like people are saying, Gamecube games on the way.
Personally i want this to play the N64 VC games. Which need to be updated to Wii U.

Re: Feature: The Ultimate Super Smash Bros. Direct Round-Up
I keep banging on about it.
But surely N64 games will be on eShop so people can play the original on Wii U to keep them ticking over until the winter.

Re: Weirdness: Super Mario Bros. Record For Lowest Score is Beaten

Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February
Nintendo 64 on eShop straight after the Direct would be great.
Need to play some classics on the gamepad.

Then i go on GHOSTS and play online lag free no problem.
I seriously need an update, doesn't make sense.

Re: Iwata Braves Press Conference to Explain Nintendo's Earnings
@ACK So true.
Nintendo games need to stay on Nintendo consoles with a controller.
I hate how smart phones have cheap games that people play for 10 mins that are free or 69p.
Then people refuse to spend £5.50 on Super Mario World because it looks really expensive in comparison.
Re: Iwata Braves Press Conference to Explain Nintendo's Earnings
Hurry and fill the eShop with N64 games and i will spend plenty of money on there!
Re: Wii U Players Won't Be Able To Join A Clan In Call Of Duty: Ghosts
I don't get why the Wii U still has missing features when its plenty more capable than the 360/ps3.
Re: Preview: Super Mario 3D World
I love Nintendo and never worry too much about what games look like.
But, the graphics are amazing.
Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut Will Cost $20 More On Wii U Than On PS3 And 360
why is it more in the US?
iv had mine on pre order for months at £23.99 which is $38
i suppose it makes a change UK not paying the most
Re: Out Now: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Now i can finally complete loads of wii games i hardly get to play!
Re: A Hat in Time Developer Teases Good News For The Wii U
Good news! Have been looking forward to this for months.
Especially with a few pieces of music from Grant Kirkhope!
Should feel like an N64 game.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Trailer Shows Off Multiplayer and Miiverse Sharing
I hope there is a discount if you buy both games.

Re: Talking Point: The Wonderful 101 Direct and Demo Set the Standard for Wii U Marketing
I missed the Nintendo Direct, but got the demo, then was a bit confused for 10 mins, then i got to grips with the controls.
Will be getting the game.

Re: Review: Ghosts 'n Goblins (Wii U eShop / NES)
Got SNES Version, then picked this up for £1.75.
Cant complain for that price. Especially since the restore points make it bearable.
Re: Review: Retro City Rampage (WiiWare)
I have 1800 points that were on my Wii shop.
I think this will be good, but i can guarantee as soon as i download it there will be a Wii U version!
Re: Happy 15th Birthday, Banjo-Kazooie!

If only it was that simple!
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Debut Trailer Blasts Across The Internet

Re: Review: Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I will be buying this as it was great fun, and the new restore points will be a big bonus, even though it won't be completing it properly.
Re: European Gamers Bemoan PAL Version of Super Metroid
The subtitles are annoying, but i can live with the PAL game.
I thought that all of the Virtual Console games were now going to be the 60hz version though, why release other games on the same day as 60hz.
Re: Review: Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Wii U save states needed badly for this game!
