@Antray1984 Are you kidding? I'd wear that thing all the time.

Nintendo UK still have stock for those wanting a replacement.

@CreativeWelshman during time games, pressing the home button would pause the game, allowing you a few extra seconds to plan your next moves.

@moomoo It's a budget game every else. No one knows why NoA made it a $60 title.

In the UK, the average game price is £50, but Splatoon retails between £25 and 30, or £40 with a green squid amiibo.

@BLPs It's not that retailers won't stock Wave 3/4 in the UK. It's that they CAN'T.

GAME, Smyths and ARGOS sell out too quickly for the demand. You can still find Mario Party amiibo in the odd TESCO, if you happen to live near a TESCO that even stocks Nintendo any more.

My problem with Kirby is that myself and so many other Nintendo gamers are currently saving up for the upcoming amiibo and the release of Yoshi's Woolly World and Splatoon.

@rjejr Every single password for Rumble World has been released. 30 free gems and all sorts of Pokemon. It will boost your Pokemon ranking by a huge amount.

I loved the game. I don't have the 'best' internet possible in the UK. I download about 1-2GB an hour, maybe more on a good day through Steam.

Splatoon was just so much fun and the servers were incredibly stable. I was highly impressed by the game.

@outburst It's been marketed as a budget title since pretty much the beginning, so I'm wondering why NoA are charging full price for it.

Just like how Captain Toad was a budget title going for £30-35, Splatoon is no different really. Just more expensive if you want the special edition with the green amiibo.

@readyletsgo To make up for it. We get Yoshi in June when Americans get Yoshi in November.

@Mr_Howard Multiple retailers are selling it. Silver is not an exclusive like Gold was.

@LunaticPandora

It makes perfect sense actually. One is the Yoshi Woolly World special edition. That is, a single box containing the game and amiibo. The other bundle is the Green Yoshi amiibo that comes in generic amiibo packaging and a copy of Yoshi's Woolly World.

2 different ways of packaging the same product.

@Ras If the bundle came with all 3 amiibo Splatoon amiibo it would sell like mad.

Seriously, if MP10 was packaged with Gold Mario, it would be a 4 million seller by now easy.

@thegreninja47 It is. This is a port of the N64 game. Nothing changed, like they had to remove multiple signs from Waverace 64 on the Wii VC.

@linforcer It's the only stage where this does work. I know if you try the tactic anywhere else then it floods the board with another Pokemon, but not in Milotic's case. I guess the programmers realised the stage was hard enough with a Febas in your team.

@rjejr Yep, Febas is the Pokemon Milotic floods the board with, so bringing Febas into the stage with you makes the level so much easier. It may take a few tries, but you can get some great chains with a bit of luck.

@rjejr If you want to beat Milotic, replace one of your 4 super effective Pokemon with a Febas. You should cause chains when the level starts and whenever the level resets.

The Stampers sold off part of the Ultimate Play the Game label to U.S. Gold and formed in 1985 a sub-division inside Ashby Computers and Graphics Ltd. named Rare Ltd.

I didn't realise it was that high. I vaguely remember seeing it around the 80K mark, but I couldn't remember clearly enough to estimate that high.

I used a complexity -1 as well. I plan on Max levelling the 4 Pokemon throughout the week in the hopes that it improves my score when I try one more time on Friday or so.

I'm currently 54th in Europe out of 32K people.

This competition is going to get crazy.

I beat Blaziken using the Home button trick, simply press Home after every match to give yourself extra seconds to see your next Pokemon match. That way it's much easier to keep chains going.

It's the only level I've ever used that on.

10K in Europe is a bit of a downer, considering we had around 50K entrants, if not more by the end of the competition last time.

@Lord When Microsoft bought Rare, they bought Rare owned properties like Jet Force Gemini, Killer Instinct, Conker and Banjo-Kazooie.

Any game Rare made with the Donkey Kong license (Country, Land, Racing) and all characters they may have created as a result, such as Kranky Kong, Tiny Kong, Dixie or whatever are ultimately owned by Nintendo since Donkey Kong property was given to Rare under contract as a Second Party company.

That means that when Nintendo remade Diddy Kong Racing, they had to remove BK and Conker, but were able to re-use the rest of the cast, desptie Rare making the content within the game. Nintendo still owned the rights to the game since at the end of the day Nintendo ultimately own anything Rare made with the DK license.

The only thing they technically don't own in DK64 is Jetpac, which got an XBLA release a number of years back. However, that doesn't appear to have affected the re-release at all. If they were to ever do an HD remake of the game, then they would have to remove it.
