@BigBadJohn cash it in now, they go under they have no responsibility to honour gift cards, read up what happened to peacocks customers a few years ago.

They are taking preorder deposits on snes mini to the tune of £50, if they go under this year you will lose your deposit and not get an item. Be warned the retailer Peacocks did the same thing with gift vouchers before calling in the administrators and consequently gave a big up yours to thousands at christmas by not honouring voucher purchases.

Buy from game, lose your deposit when they go under. This stuff DOES happen. It could be a planned cash grab, be warned.

@TheGameSquid so like, I take it you didnt get a piece of overpriced plastic and came here just to tell everyone how much you dont like this product, for no reason?

@Biff_ARMStrong they are supplying it 'in significant numbers'

Lets say they make 2 million of these world wide, thats a million more than NES mini and it wont even scratch the surface of demand but honestly its not the end of the world. How 'significant' a number you want? This isnt a main console, its a nostalgia trip, a trinket. I see no reason why they should make millions of these.

I got one on ninty uk store no problem. They sold out in 8 minutes but I saw the notification and went straight away, as you should if you are a fan, if you arent fast you are last.

these will be sold out in the next ten mins I reckon, page is already starting to slow down lol

got one!

I installed the patch and felt a surge of strong stability so great I felt the urge to rip apart a fox and spit on a homeless person, funny that.

just completed it, felt just like on my neo cd unit minus clicky joystick, caravan mode is a great addition.

So...will you review it again and give it a 9/10 this time?

netflix/amazon/youtube and tv control please so i can retire my wiiu

99 little bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, fix it up, compile again, 101 little bugs in the code.

just chiming in on thios 12/10 argument, its now 13/10

any idea when this will be announced? waiting anxiously!

Damien is the winners of the switch competition being announced today?

Thankyou for the competition, could you please make very sure nobody is making tons of duplicate accounts to win this? It wouldnt be fair if a non genuine account holder from the UK won this great prize.

I still have my wiiu. If I win this I will donate the wiiu to Scope.

Thanks

I've been up that mountain before i saw this, in the day it looks amazing, however at certain times you KNOW this is a tribute, you need to go see it.

Really hope I win this, will give the awesome looking 3ds to my son so he can enjoy Nintendo gaming at its finest as I did in the 80's. Thanks Nintendolife!

It's HBL (homebrew Loader) not Homebrew Channel

bring back physical rewards and scratch cards, this is crap.

BTW I already asked but if anyone could be so kind to send me darksiders or freedom planet to [email protected] I would be really grateful, thanks.

Badly need darksiders and freedom planet, either would be great, I got the small bundle with asa and shantea but time will run out before I get the cash together for the bigger bundle, can someone send a code to [email protected] thanks

eu version wii u btw, thanks again.

TBH Im not happy that my console is dead after 3 short years and now they expect me to dish out cash again just so I can keep playing nintendo first party titles. In comparison xbox360 and ps3 lasted about 10 years. Im not very excited about NX, the wii u might be my last nintendo console.

I wish I could notch a deadzone in the motion control, I would prefer if the sensitivity tapered the further you went off screen because as it stands I must tilt the pad over 33 degrees to get full reach, for comfort it would be better to end the reach at around 20 degrees at the very maximum. Im going to check settings see if there is anything like this.

ERRRMAHGEEEERD I NEED THIS

My local GAME store had falco and fox amiibo for £5 each the other day for some inexpicable reason so grabbed them, went back later and they were back at full price, I think a staff member wanted some cheap amiibo's haha bad luck.

AMD didn't make the processor for the Wii U, its a 3 core powerpc 750. The Latte GPU however , is made by AMD. If Ninty went with AMD for the processor it would have opened the door to much more cross platform games being that the PS4 and XBOX One run the same x86 CPU.

I understand why Nintendo decided against doing this as it would cause headaches in virtual wii and as recent history shows Nintendo ease consumers gradually into new consoles by incorporating the last gen console into the new one so hardware changes cant be too far off the previous generation. This may change with the NX. If CEMU is anything to go by Nintendo can emulate the Wii U using x86, albeit being a huge amount of work.

Bought it. Bit sad that Ninty doesnt have a refund button. The framerate drops are ridiculous for a retail game on a console, I was utterly surprised this game got through ninty's supposedly strict Q&A process. The Elum rides are unbearable, it felt like running crysis on a pentium 4 (Im old). The parts where the framerate held solid gave a great experience and brought me right back to when I was around 16 and played Abes odysee on release day, sadly though for the money outlay I'm disappointed.

Also, the game has co-op, why was this not mentioned?

pre ordered

Pfft £167. They charge £33.75 for multi region aswel, thats a total rip off, my xenoGC multi region chip cost...drumroll...£1.68 only and was easy as hell to fit. Cowboy outfit you are promoting here.

Got mine in the same condition as the pics

this isnt a stability patch, its a browser exploit patch.

trying to stop hykems exploit, futile.

yay hopefully I will get one

I hope that when the NX reveal happens they show a shiny brand new SNES, call it the NX and we can all have fun with carts again.

just got the game, it needs work. The online is buggy as all hell, the waiting for player part is an epileptic fit of fast cuts, mostly showing walls, floors, sometimes the sky, the camera certainly has trouble finding the cars, makes it feel cheap and broken. Sometimes I join a match, im on the grid, i hit accelerate and the match ends! literally a 0.5 second race, such joy.

The graphics arent that good, certainly not as good as reviewers have been saying. Need for speed most wanted U has proper nice graphics for a racing game on wii u (utilises the extra vram for sharp PC quality texturing), mario kart does, but this needs AA implemented, its a jag fest.

In saying all that, the game IS good, needs work, but overall its fun, not 9/10 fun, more like 6/10 until bugs are ironed out at the very least.

about time on AVGN, was losing hope
