Any generation Nintendo will always be my first choice and I am more than happy with my Wii U. But I do plan on picking up a PS4 in the next year.

The current Flash Thompson Venom does usually have a smaller build, but he can, and has, changed build to the larger Venom when he loses control (or wants to really scare someone). The markings are certainly Flash Venom.

Wasn't that fussed about the game to be honest but my son saw the trailer when we went to pick up Mario Kart and so now desperately wants it, which actually has me secretly pleased. I can now justify the toys to my girlfriend.

The vitality sensor left me speechless and all these years later I'm still none the wiser to its purpose.

@ULTRA-64 Great game, but you use both sticks a lot. Definitely go for hard difficulty though.

I ploughed absolutely hours into Street Racer on the SNES, with my brother. Loved the fact all the racers had their own specials.

@datamonkey You can play all those games you downloaded for those systems (and any for the Wii) through the Wii menu on the Wii U.

Just finished Wonderful 101 last night, but may go back in to try on the next difficulty. Also have Oracle of Seasons on the go and with the new update I'm going to go back and finally finish Toki Tori 2. Plus I'm just about to go pick up Splinter Cell Blacklist on my way home from work as its going cheap in HMV already.

Not sure why all the negativity. This looks great as a second system for my 5 year old. No hinges to break and as a result of dropping some features a really great price.
All those complaining are missing the point here. If you don't like the design it's not replacing the 3ds, you can have one of those instead.

I don't think the situation with the supermarkets is really being reported for what it is. Certainly in Morrison's they aren't just pulling back on their Nintendo stock but all computer games, including pc. My local store, which is a large one, has reduced their game section down massively in the last 6 months. They stopped selling any hardware months ago and haven't had any of the major new releases available on any system for some time. They just seem to be slowly clearing stock. I just think they don't see the security and merchandising costs for these products as worth their time anymore, and this is the case for all manufacturers. It's not all positive for Nintendo at the moment but it's important to see the whole picture.

You could also split the year in half as summer and winter and say summer is up to the end of British summer time when the clocks change. That's not until the end of October.

Can't wait to get Streets of Rage to play on the move. My favourite game of all time.

Barely anyone in this thread mentions Bayonetta or X. When you just list the first party exclusives, yeah it does seem safe, but those two titles and Wonderful 101 add some balance to the exclusive lineup, backed up with some other good third party offerings. If you want your epic exclusive look at X.

The only problem was the lack of anything unfamiliar. If X and Bayonetta hadn't already been announced then the line up shown would have absolutely blown the competition out of the water.

Have to say though Mario Kart has me excited, going all F-Zero. Now if they can get rid of the blue shells I'll be ecstatic.

I used to love this show and oddly enough, just last week sat my son down to watch an episode after he showed an interest in the cartoons I used to watch.

As a teacher and a parent I have little enough time as it is. Really been looking forward to this game and the short length actually makes me keener. In fact long games are starting to put me off. Desite it looking brilliant I simply don't have time for Monster Hunter and so I'm not going to bother.
