After spending $15 on Planet Crashes(before any reviews) of the reputation of Mutant Mudds, I'm more than happy to part with $10 for Endgame's thoughtfulness. Not knocking Renegade Kid, just Planet Crashers. Thanks Endgame. Here's hoping other dev's try for even pricing everywhere.
@MeowGravy Too bleedin right I've never played a single AC game but after seeing gamers glowing words for it and all the hype and frenzy over this new AC I think I'll definitely be looking into this one.
Nice review. I gave into my sons request for this game after refusing on the first game and I'm very happy with it. My son loves the co-op and I was pleasantly surprised to hear (I'm sure of it) Patrick Warburton lend his voice.
Good review and have to agree. For me overall a great game for the AUD$2.50 for it. Matching atmospheric music and 3D were very nice. A certain underground level had me over the moon. Hope they give us more.
Exactly, @LZbirdboi. As for the majority suffering for the minority, sadly, it's an unfortunate fact of life. And if in doubt about how stupid people can be, Google Darwin Awards. Can't help but think that Nintendo think they're the Jon West of gaming though.
Way to go Frozenbyte. Still waiting on Trine 2 to arrive. But I was sold when they admitted fault for an Oz delay. I like it when a company can take responsibility and take care of it's customers. You're on my radar now Frozenbyte .
After spending 13 days with it, I'm happy with it. My only disappointment was not having Tribe 2 available but I've got plenty of games to occupy me till then. As for VC, I'll be dropping lots of coin in their pockets for the slew of games I missed out on for the GC.
I wanted ME3 on launch day but the store didn't have any copies(same situation for Darksiders2). So had to pass. Never played an ME game but really interested. Want the trilogy, might get ME3 if trilogy is a far way off. Either way EA need to get it together.
This was going to be a launch day purchase. Was totally bummed. But got Nano Assault instead and love it. Will still be getting Trine 2 when it arrives. Love the look and the 3 player co-op will be great for my missus, son and I. And being an Australian Aborigine I don't find 'walkabout' or 'downunder' offensive in the given context. But if you were to 'walkabout' on my 'downunder', that is slightly offensive and a little painful
Loving my Wii U, the GamePad and the eShop. Can't wait for sales and specials. I can't pass up a bargain. Although, if retail downloads stay at those prices I'd prefer going instore or shop online.
Didn't Reggie say they have some games still under wraps which they'll unveil after launch. Nov 30th is 4 days away. So some news in a week or two would be great if only to keep the excitement rolling.
Thanks for the review. It's the only review of LI that actually got me interested in it. Something about the subjective rather than objective analysis that keeps me coming back to this site.
What!? Nintendo marching to the beat of their own drum. Who would have thought? Haters gonna hate, whingers gonna whinge. But hey, I might be a whinger come Nov. 30th.
I squealed in delight upon reading about a Monsters Inc. sequel. But on topic, I'd love to play around as Cpt Jack Sparrow and (hopefully) Boba Fett in the same game.
Yes to WayForward. I just want a 2D Metroid that plays like Super Metroid and Fusion on my 3DS and a Prime style experience for the WiiU. Metroid bliss for me.
Well that sucks. If it applies to Australia I'm going to have to get DKC2 and DKC3 asap. Loved Rare, but not enough to follow them to XBOX. If they make a compilation though , day 1 buy.
I've never played a NSMB game yet but seeing as some reviews are likening NSMBU to SMW (in spirit) I'm definitely grabbing it. And DLC (if good) sweetens the deal.
Fantastic read. Very recommended. Way to go, Mr Atsushi Asada. Would've loved to be a fly on the wall in that meeting. Thanks @LittleIrves for the link.

Re: Iwata: Nintendo Open To "Free-To-Play" Gaming Model
Never played a F2P game but after seeing Nintendo's take on social networking via 'Miiverse' I'm very intrigued in how Nintendo would do F2P.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to All 3DS XL Owners
If it comes to Australia it would motivate me to upgrade to an 3DS XL, if only to get Layton.
Re: Miyamoto: Nintendo Will Offer more Support To "Committed" Third Party Developers
I'm pessimistic when it comes to third parties. Monster Hunter is the only 3rd party game (so far) that interests me.

Re: Feature: Reinventing Nintendo's Legacy Franchises on Wii U
1080° Snowboarding and F-Zero in HD would be instabuys.

Re: Disney Interactive Reportedly Developing A Skylanders Rival

Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console
Well that sucks. If it applies to Australia I'm going to have to get DKC2 and DKC3 asap. Loved Rare, but not enough to follow them to XBOX.
If they make a compilation though , day 1 buy.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U To Jump Into DLC
I've never played a NSMB game yet but seeing as some reviews are likening NSMBU to SMW (in spirit) I'm definitely grabbing it. And DLC (if good) sweetens the deal.
Re: Wii U Version Of Mighty Switch Force Much Harder Than The Original
