@Obvisamy It comes with a charging cradle but no charger. see:

"New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition Bundle: This system requires an AC adapter (WAP-002(UKV) for the UK, Ireland and Malta. WAP-002 (EUR) for the EEA, Switzerland and Russia) sold separately. Adapters provided with the Nintendo 3DS, 2DS, DSi and DSi XL systems are compatible."

or

"New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition Bundle charging cradle: Only for the New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition Bundle system. This accessory requires an AC adapter (WAP-002(UKV) for the UK, Ireland and Malta. WAP-002 (EUR) for the EEA, Switzerland and Russia) sold separately. Adapters provided with the Nintendo 3DS, 2DS, DSi and DSi XL systems are compatible."

Just got mail. Am tempted. No charger included tho' which is a bit annoying. Is the price reasonable?

Ouch. This is what happens when no one play-tests a game. Top tip for developers: have other people play your game before release (also act on what you see).

I would really like another one of these. My theory / delusion / dream is that ubi have sold the ip to namco and they're developing the next game. I hope it's true!

Yes yes yes, thanks for the reminder! I've nabbed myself a copy. I love weird games like this. Especially DS games with strange peripherals. It can go with my ds otary controller and FACENINGSCAN camera cart!

@PvtOttobot ace

@PvtOttobot I also ordered from Ukamazon but I live in europe so It can often take another couple of days to get here. I'm excited tho, have you messed with the online features? Any good?

@PvtOttoBot Awesome. I hope it turns up today. I've been promising myself a day off when it arrives.

still waiting for my physical copy of watchdogs to turn up, so no downloads for me

@Mega719 thanks, I've found those now. Looks ... interesting. Really hard to get any information from them at all. I'm looking forward to seeing the videos start to pop up as of tomorrow. I'd love to see a comparison between the various platforms.

@ThomasBW84 how can a game be less than 12 hours from release and there not be a single screen shot available?

This does not bode well.

Is that a legit wii u watch dogs screen shot?

This is nice to see. I've been doing my bit I suspect we will see a big boost when smash wiiu and amiibo come out.

Hmmm, something is missing...

The difference between boxy landscape demo and minecraft is many years of hard work. I wish them the best of luck but they've got a long way to go.
also; ouch, that fov

I'm enjoying this game, but didn't think I would pick up any of the DLC. I may be happily tired with it by the time the main story ends, and more characters won't make me want to come back for more. But that's OK with me.

It looks great! Call it something else, quick!

I completely empathize with developers feeling the need to release something, anything to make some money but this really looks like it could have done with another week in the oven at least. With some better graphics and shudder music, this could have been a passable clone, if nothing else. As it stands it's a hideous clone, the worst kind of clone.

@Damo, @PvtOttobot it's a beautiful thing and a cool mod.

I never played these but they always looked interesting. Will keep my eyes open for this.

I wonder if it still closes...

Shouldn't the match three bit be on the bottom screen for touch controls? I've not played a match 3 with button before.

I'm a fan on turn based stuff and despite this just screaming 'budget' I'll keep my eyes open for it.

They're not showing footage because any tiny difference between this and the other next gen versions will be used as an excuse not to buy it by many. Not saying it's right or wrong but that's why.

I have this preordered. I have my fingers crossed that all this extra 'development time' has actually been spent developing the game.

It really does look like this game was built with as little effort as possible.

When your game is mechanically exactly the same as an existing game and you use a tiled brick background there are only two words to describe you. Creatively bankrupt.

I feel pain when I see a guitar used as a weapon.

delaying a game to make sure it's extra good is fine by me, but like watchdogs, when these games come out all eyes are going to be on them and these eyes will be calibrated for quality.

They also let people develop new games for old platforms. That's a good thing too!

I'm guessing it isn't online mode. If it is online mode then my interest in this product is returned.

Still want bros u but man that still be on the expensive side of costly.

Sales of black flag no doubt lower than 3 because 3 was absolutely awful. I just picked up black flag in the sale and it's quite good. Better than 3 but I wasn't going to buy another AC game at full price after the dull dull buggy and dull AC3.

That said I've preordered WD on wiiu. I hope all the 'extra work' they're putting into it means it will look good and run well. Even AC4BF has serious frame rate issues. Would rather have had lower resolution.

Also lets see some gamepad innovation for WD pls! Heaven knows they've had the time!

@Pahvi I only asked because I'm always on the lookout for good wii games I missed.

@Pahvi @PALgamer OK, I see how they could do it. I still think it's too much work for too few games. Other than MH3 (which we can already play in wiiu) what are the good CC/PRO supported games on wii?

@Pahvi if you're hoping for the buttons to start working in place of a wiimote I suspect you'll be waiting indefinitely. Something like that would mean configuring the pad on a per-game basis and that's not something nintendo would do, I don't think.

@Pahvi it does that already doesn't it?

I will buy a samus if she's not too shiny. And probably a kirby. Perhaps more. But at this point they're just cool looking figures. I have no idea how they'll integrate with games like mariokart8. Surprise me Nintendo!

NFC chips cost hundreds of times more than paper and ink but qr codes along side the written codes would be a great time saver.

Online co-op would have guaranteed I purchased this. Not sure I could rustle up a local co-op player. Still looks really fun but warriors games can be a slog solo.

This game keeps looking more and more interesting. I don't know if it's a huge system seller but I'll be keeping my eye on it for sure.

Looks very pretty, have they released any trailers containing wii u footage yet? I imagine it won't look /quite/ that nice but I'm still interested.

Cash pledged went from 28 thou to 19 thou. People are getting concerned. This may be a scam after all. Vostok are claiming they're not who they say they are.

It is strange that they've showed off nothing of this new scaleable proprietary engine. The footage in the video was all stalker or footage of the UNITY 3D edtior. Possibly a prototype?

They're now claiming in the comments that they looked at a bunch of engines before settling on one. But if the engine exists why show shots of a unity prototype?

For the record I'd love a post-apo-survi-horro-fp-tp-s on the wiiu (and I've backed this project) but I may pull out unless I see some actual game footage in the next 29 days.
