Strange need for speed most wanted U isnt mentioned hardly at all, maybe because its pretty rare? Its an absolute gem of a title, the definitive version for sure.

My Sony playstation 1 development console is no where near as special (no nintendo references) however its good to see on the diagnostic test in the video showed NG , I have diagnostic leds on mine connected to a pcb called CON CHECK, this add-on pcb served to makes sure pads and memory cards functioned as required. The leds glow green for good connectivity and if bad a single led marked NG glows red, NG stands for Not Good/bad connectivity. To me this video proves its legitimacy as mine has the same sony dev traits.

One thing that does worry me is that they will desolder some wires then find that the entire system will remarkably no longer turn on again. A common problem with these early machines is their fragile fuses, any weird charge put on the board without sufficiently discharging the board before opening will blow the main fuse, simply rectified to those that know, but a nightmare for a noob.

@IceClimbers Agree on most points but I disagree that Mario Tennis wont sell in big numbers. Anyone that played it on n64 will pick this up. Im mostly into platformers and action games so naturally I thought a sports game, mario tennis would be crap, oh boy how wrong I was, I remember offering my mum a million completed chores in return for the game the very next day after playing it at a friends house. Its an absolute gem of a title which is reflected in the N64 version's still relatively high price.

Im a die hard Nintendo fan and have been since 1986/7 when I got a NES. I still have over 60 games for it. I then got a snes around '92, then a gamecube, then a wii, now I have a wii U, hell Ive got a Nintendo m82 demo unit and every handheld. Dont want to hurt peoples feelings here but I had never in my 29 years of nintendo fandom had I heard of xenoblade until this year.

I know Im not alone in this. Ive ordered it based on the word 'it's good' but I havent got a bloody clue what its about. In my opinion it isnt in this list because nobody knows about it, even die hard Nintendo fans.

If this is to be a big seller, which I doubt...it needs a LOT more marketing.

bit barren if you have no friends with splatoon, when i get some il check it out again

looking forward to the 2021 release in the UK...

FINALLY

pretty poor line up this week :/ They should really release more v.console games

have this boxed somewhere...might dig it out later

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 Sonic cd doesnt require the intricate placement of a sprite pretty much constantly, oh and suuure we all need ANOTHER controller....isnt it enough we have wii mote, wii u pro pad, the big pad and usb gamecube pad connectivity to one console, now you are saying its a good plan for people to carry around a propriety pad while they carry their phone just to play a first party title, please try harder.

They are ninja injecting dlc so that when they announce it simply unlocks, no need to download a thing (because you already did). Hopefully this includes desert levels and checkpoint placement. Another thing I would love to see is a way of having a boss battle that doesnt include the axe/bridge mechanic. I want to destroy bowser not give him a bath. Another thing I hope for is search filtering, I want to wipe any remnant of auto play levels off my console for good, they suck, anyone that does them is stupid, its not clever to make an auto level, it takes zero skill.

I doubt slopes are coming ever.

That analyst should get a emulator on his samsung/iFail whatever and play mario for say...30 seconds..then tell us again if it works well on touchscreens

Pro tip: it doesn't no matter how you configure it

I want avgn adventures for wii U, NoA get it but UK/eur dont, they should really get their sh*t together with the downloads, good move with GMG but they should really start thinking about dropping some restrictions, Im finding myself playing snes more and more because wii u isnt providing the games I really want to play right now, bar a few gems.

@gcunit there is...a mario monopoly..

Just bring back the snes and have done with it, no need for gimmicks, just solid gameplay. Plus carts should never have been abandoned, just sayin.

Its a good game but after playing 120+ hours on dayZ and putting in 200+ hours on the stalker series you find zombi u to be a pretty mediocre game in all honesty. the port of resi evil on wii u is better for about the same cash.

Yes because playing mario on a touchscreen with no buttons really feels great.....

factor 5 possibly rebooting TURRICAN!!!!!! way bigger news than kid icarus in my opinion! I have it for nes, 1 and 2 for snes, I have it for amiga, I have it for atari st and for genesis. For those that wasnt blessed by Contra/probotector back in the day Turrican filled the slot nicely.

well since starfox isnt coming I made a decision. This holiday season I have 2 games, I just bought them. Turtles in time and super aleste for snes. That should keep me going.

well if tennis, xenoblade, starfox and zelda are pretty much the last 1st party games I feel ok with collecting every single wii u title, not too many tbh, Im already 29 in.

the amiibo just landed in the nintendo store in UK for pre order, sweet.

got one

so happy you answered my question thankyou so much!

I had no problem with mine since i used paypal (ive noticed this mostly effects CC users) but as consequence for GAME'S shoddy behasviour I will join and boycott GAME. I vote with my wallet, game has lost another customer.

@Nintenjoe64 If that happens the proverbial brown stuff will final smash the fan.

Did mine with Paypal. I got a cancellation email, then another saying congratulations order is complete but strangely in huge bold letters this email said it had a problem blah also. Went to game website and said my order is shipped. Only one payment has gone, I guess Im one of the lucky ones, feel sorry for all those that are stung right now.

got the smm limited with amiibo and 4 badge set , says shipped on the email

Why does your signature always have a boo on the end of it? I have a couple of your autographs and it has always got me thinking 'why boo?'

got my coin and the goodbye cd Thanks Nintendo!

Bought stealth 2 instead after reading the poor reviews on this game, no regrets either.

I will buy it when it hits fifa 13 price (about £2.99). Most likely in a few weeks lol.

far better, runs wonderful now. However Im now used to streaming via plex server straight to the wii u, its excellent because it converts all movies to html5 on the fly so works amazing on the wii u browser regardless of movie file format.

Just bought this and doing the updates etc. Hope its good, Ive done pretty much 10 years of the battlefield series as recon and vehicles so hopefully will have a lot of fun in a vastly different setting, certainly looks colorful!

ordering mine now, just waiting on the goodbye coin

YES! I Love this game I bought it in beta stage when it was nothing but a bug fest, now its fantastic, must buy.

just ordered game&watch + R.O.B

I might attend one day with my m82.

I dont have facebook, I deleted it 3 years ago. This is making me not want mario maker, a game Ive wanted for a long time and preordered the premium and regular game. Thanks for that nintendo, way to go turning off potential buyers. . I dont want to 'sign in', I dont want to 'share', I want to play mario. I swear if theres any blue facebook blocks in the game I will <cry in my room>

gunna buy me a ness today, I got olimar the other day when it was only up as a suggested product if you bought another amiibo. Also glad I got my zero suit samus before they went out of stock

what the actual hell nintendo! I dont have a facebook nor will I ever have one, so thanks for ruining my game before it even arrives.

Now is the time to make the wii u a loss leader and focus on game sales. Drop the price of the wii u to under profit level and you will have your game sales more than make up for the losses. It worked for sony after a dismal start.

Oh and i have the special edition preordered and the standard editition, the special with amiibo will stay sealed forever
