Watching the trailer and not hearing Danny John-Jules as the voice for Gex was incredibly strange to me. Sad there isn't an option for the regional voices.
Managed to get SF6 from Amazon when they listed it at £35. Came through yesterday and everything good. Really looking forward to trying it. Glad I held off buying it on other systems as now I've got the version I can take to play on breaks.
I couldn't believe that GAME charge for a collect from store option. Honestly don't know how they are still going. Used to try and support my local store, but prices just went up so much I couldn't justify buying anything from them anymore.
Just seen it live on the Nintendo UK site. I'm guessing this is a solely digital release? I can't wait to get it though. Been wanting to replay the old Tomb Raiders for a while
I really hope Sonic Superstars comes down a little in price before launch. I really love the love of the game and want it to do well, but then Nintendo revealed Super Mario Bros Wonder was coming out around the same time and at a cheaper price.
Hope my copy turns up today. Absolutely dying to play these remakes. The animations look so good. I have such fond memories of playing through these on my old NES GBA SP. Really hope Dual Strike gets a remake or dare I hope for a brand new Advanced Wars game if this sells well.
I really need to play Splatoon 3. Was so excited and got it on launch, but haven't had the time to give most games lately. The Splatfests have all sounded really good so far and will hopefully get chance to have a go at this one.
MK8 Deluxe needs these costume options. Never played tour, but always loved seeing the costumes available for characters in it. I know MK8 Deluxe is getting new characters now, but refreshing everyone else available already would be really cool.
I am so excited for this since it was announced last Year. Hopefully it'll have a decent launch price as Zelda will have taken a lot of my wallet by then.
I'm just very confused as to the point of wave 1 on that expansion pass. Basically just the original hub area as a cosmetic DLC. The 2nd Single player part looked really cool though.
Usually get the 1st Direct of the Year around Valentine's day so hopefully not too long to wait for some reveals. Wonder if there will be a new Mario game to tie in with the movie release this Year? Also the more time passes the more I want that rumoured Wind Waker/Twilight Princess Switch port and anything Metroid related would be nice this Year.
Can't wait for this!!! Been enjoying Mario + Rabbids, but might have to jump on this when it turns up. Can't believe we've finally made it to seeing this game actually come out.
Apology or 'apology' from EA doesn't really mean anything at this point. I only have Nintendo systems so I'm in no danger of buying another EA published game.
It would be nice to see the odd eshop sale. The OoT discount last year was great and luckily I managed to bag some codes yesterday for cheap. Just the odd sale every so often would be nice to see.
Wait was the wake-up call the first or the second time? XD Here's hoping one day they actually give us some more games that match up to the quality of WiiU's Need for Speed port. I'm not holding my breath though... I don't want to suffocate.
There's so much out this year it's insane! Wish Arkham Origins had launched the same time as the other here (like it did in the states) so there could be one less thing on my "need to get" list this week. @dew12333 they never seem to release COD games as downloadables (on release date at least). Would've liked a download version of it, but I'm guessing it would've been a silly money purchase over the pyshical version.
This is another one of those games I was really looking forward to trying months ago, but I just don't know if I'll get around to it now with the current back-log of games + the other releases in the next month or so. Think I've already got enough to last till Mario Kart 8 at the moment.
Has the Adventure Time game been put back? Seen the release dates change on a couple of sites over the last few days... Was looking forward to co-op dungeon exploring. This looks pretty good fun. Liking the show/characters I'll probably pick this up either at or close to launch.
I was actually debating getting this, but at the same time I can see it being an average to bad licensed game. The only reason I was tempted was because I enjoyed the tv series so much. Looks like they've saved me some money and the bad taste of this title.
If Warner had given any kind of reason for this it would've been better than just "hey wait two weeks longer for less of a game". Every turn with Origins has been a Bat-claw to the face. First we're the only console not getting any collector's editions, second no multiplayer, now a random two week delay. I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE STORY ALREADY!!!!!
I'm guessing the bundled DLC is an item that you'd otherwise have to buy with in-game currency and get early. Either that or an exclusive item to use. I pre-ordered this the second I saw they'd announced it on Twitter this morning and instantly downloaded the Link's Awakening you get free with it. Really looking forward to this next month now as I've really enjoyed the demos at events (and the art style is beautiful).
To be fair to GAME they were the last company to start selling Pokemon early. Most other stores around my area were selling it from Wednesday onwards and sites such as Tesco had sent out copies with some people getting them as early as Tuesday. Most GAME stores weren't informed until about 10:00 on the 11th that they should start selling their copies.
Surely this is just building up for GAME to turn around and announce it themselves in a few days time. People are hyped for that bonus and GAME generally do get the Nintendo pre-order goods over other retailers. If they're not getting it I really need to know who is so I can obtain that lovely chest.
There was another group that wanted to end the apparent slavery of Pokemon... What were they called? Oh yeah! Team Plasma. Just look at the head of their organisation and think that PETA aren't just trying to keep all the Pokemon to themselves
Couldn't work it out playing the demo myself. Is the F-Zero like spin attack done by a Gamepad/Wii remote flick like the stunt jumps? All the AI kept doing it and my friends and I couldn't figure it out at all.

Re: Random: Giant LEGO Death Egg Robot Delights At Sonic Superstars Gamescom Booth
@Kilroy not sure about the states, but everywhere I'm looking in the UK Sonic is around £52 while I can get Mario for £42 (both physical).
Re: Random: Giant LEGO Death Egg Robot Delights At Sonic Superstars Gamescom Booth

Re: Splatoon 3 Is Hosting A Legend Of Zelda-Themed Splatfest In May
I really need to play Splatoon 3. Was so excited and got it on launch, but haven't had the time to give most games lately. The Splatfests have all sounded really good so far and will hopefully get chance to have a go at this one.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Ganondorf?
I really like all his designs TBF. They each have something different and cool to offer to his character while keeping the main features.

Re: Video: One Month In, What Are Your Predictions For The Switch's 2023?

Re: Poll: The Year Of Luigi Was A Decade Ago, So Whose Turn Is It Now?
Thankfully still have my Luigi coin. Such a lovely piece from Old Club Nintendo. Would be ace to see others for other characters.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Brings Back Classic GBA Course In Halloween Tour
Wouldn't mind paying extra on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe just to get those costumes Tour has.
Re: Double Fine Is Bringing Costume Quest 2 To The Wii U eShop This Halloween
I loved the original. So happy to hear we'll be getting this! Hopefully it will be the first of a few double fine games
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th April (Europe)
Kirby and Warioware for me. Loving the GBA games on the Virtual console.
Re: Review: Advance Wars (Wii U eShop)
Can't wait to download this later. Mind choosing which to play first out of the three VC games this week is a very difficult choice.

WANT!!! It will go very nicely next to my Zant. Really want the Ganondorf one though.
Re: Advance Wars Bringing the Battle to the Wii U Virtual Console on 3rd April

Re: Artwork: When Nintendo Finally Gets Around To Rebooting Star Fox, We Hope The Characters Look Like This
No moody Slippy? Hmmm how would that even work? haha
I would really love a new Starfox game. Love every title in the series.
Re: Pokémon Movies And TV Shows Coming To Netflix Services All Over The World
I wish a Netflix app would be made available for EU 3DSs. Be so useful to watch shows on work breaks.
Re: GBA Titles Super Mario Ball And Pac-Man Collection Rated By Australian Classification Board
I never got chance to try Mario Pinball land on the GBA so I would really love it on the WiiU VC.
Re: Talking Point: An Unplanned Flash Sale Looked Like Retail Download Genius from Nintendo
It would be nice to see the odd eshop sale. The OoT discount last year was great and luckily I managed to bag some codes yesterday for cheap. Just the odd sale every so often would be nice to see.

Re: Nintendo UK Planning Major TV Campaign For Super Mario 3D World

Re: EA: Being Voted The Worst Company In America Was "A Wake Up Call"
Wait was the wake-up call the first or the second time? XD

Re: EA's Financial Figures Reveal Dismal Wii U Software Sales
Considering a dismal lack of games and quality of games on their part (EA).I'm surprised it's even that.
Re: F1 Race Stars Aims To Scratch Your Mario Kart Itch On Wii U This Christmas
This is another one of those games I was really looking forward to trying months ago, but I just don't know if I'll get around to it now with the current back-log of games + the other releases in the next month or so. Think I've already got enough to last till Mario Kart 8 at the moment.
Re: Wii U Players Won't Be Able To Join A Clan In Call Of Duty: Ghosts
As long as that Extinction mode is there and we get the eventual DLC I'll be happy.
Re: This Zelda Super NES Design is Rather Pretty
WANT!
Re: First Impressions: Regular Show: Mordecai and Rigby in 8-Bit Land

This looks pretty good fun. Liking the show/characters I'll probably pick this up either at or close to launch.
Re: Kapow! Wii U And Wii Versions Of Young Justice: Legacy Are Cancelled

Re: Batman: Arkham Origins and Blackgate Delayed in Europe

Re: GAME Offers Musical Chest With Collector's Edition of A Link Between Worlds

Re: Video: Proof That Mario Kart 8 Can Only Be Enriched By The Addition Of F1-Style Commentary
Couldn't work it out playing the demo myself. Is the F-Zero like spin attack done by a Gamepad/Wii remote flick like the stunt jumps? All the AI kept doing it and my friends and I couldn't figure it out at all.
