$2 Wii U game? Sorted.

Any news on an EU release?

Hopefully this comes with the announcement of "Children's Long-Handled Spoon Ovoid Racing" on Wii U.

I really hope this does actually come to Europe. Even though it will probably make me very uncomfortable to play.

A real pleasure to play with you guys! Even though I wasn't very good Hopefully this can be a regular feature, people seemed to really enjoy it!

This seems like a really cool idea. If you're doing the friend code wotsit, mine is 2578-3248-7929. I haven't played in forever, mind you!

Well then, I'm not buying the game.

I understand the lack of same-sex marriage in games like Fire Emblem: Awakening (where the purpose of marriage was essentially to unlock children, although I don't see the reason for the lack of same-sex S-class relationships).

But Tomodachi Life is a simulation game built around the idea that you can insert your own persona into. Right now, I can't do that, because Nintendo refuse to push the boundaries of the vocal minority in a sadly very heteronormative society.

@XCWarrior Graphics aren't everything but there is a certain amount of weight they carry in the quality of a game. If it looks horrible and chugs alone at 20fps, it can be difficult to stomach and really hamper your enjoyment.

Looks, sounds, and is titled suspiciously like You're In the Movies.

By the far the biggest surprise on this list is that 20 games have somehow been released on the Wii U.

"Time trials for each level are back, with bronze, silver and gold medals to be one" - Surely that should be "won", right?

Super stoked for this game. DKCR3D was surprisingly brilliant when I got it as my free game in the promotion last year; I struggle to see how Tropical Freeze could be any different.

Great review!

Gaming is not something that needs to be segregated. We're pretty much teaching little girls that the only things they should be playing are the games we stereotype as "girly".

I definitely feel like these are going to be super expensive. If they're already charging £8 for SNES games, we can expect these to be £15-20 apiece.

@Barbiegurl777 The manga, game, and anime(/cartoon) were all developed simultaneously and released months apart in Japan. So it's sort of an all-encompassing franchise, like Sonic Boom is set to be.

@Discipledoctor ...what does that even mean?

Ugh, I forgot how much I disliked that ONM article.

It's incredibly sensationalist. Of course one single game is not going to damage the industry, just like the music industry isn't considered damaged by filth such as Blurred Lines.

Looks great, hopefully it comes to Europe!

(mumble mumble unlike Mutant Mudds Deluxe mumble mumble)

Mehhhh. I'm not big on the casual sexism that comes through in offers like these.

Yes yes YES. This looks like everything I've wanted from a Sonic game in a while.

...except Knuckles. He looks gross.

@HarryK I've at least found proof of their existence... http://www.linkedin.com/company/dot-studio

They appear to have four iPhone apps as I'm looking at it on the App Store. They're all free, appear to have low production values, and not one of them has a single review.

I actually would really like to see a well-done Pokémon ripoff, but I don't feel like these are the guys to do it...

Still no Pokémon Bank? I was really hoping for an announcement in the Download Update...

Nothing changes the fact that Nintendo should have been prepared for this all along. Remember when Flipnote had major sever issues, so it got delayed for the West indefinitely (as well as other later issues, but never mind that stupidity)? They need to learn from their mistakes.

And I'm expecting some kind of compensation for this in the form of eShop credit. Nintendo are slowly running out of chances in my eyes.

@GoldenMarth51 The Skyward Sword Zelda didn't do a lot of fighting. It's a lot easier to implement TP Zelda because in that game she's depicted as a lot stronger (and also actively fights Ganondorf).

Wow, thank you so much for choosing me as runner-up! Truly honoured

So is Mutant Mudds Deluxe basically not coming to Europe at all? Sucks, but hey, as long as we get the 3DS content it's fine.

This is ours. It took us way too long to record due to the fact that we kept bursting into fits of laughter. (Singing obviously not mine, but a friend's.)

A Critical Analysis of Wario Land 4 is unusual in its existence, I would say.

"Despite the anime TV series coming to an end almost a decade ago..."

Er, not quite. It's still going, just not in its original incarnation - similar to how Pokémon and Digimon also reinvent themselves every so often.

@Undead_terror Well, then. "Lame."
_{Please don't use that slur here at the Nlife Network — TBD}

It's 0.3 megapixel camera. You can't even make out what the picture's meant to be anyway...

@Undead_terror I wasn't really aware that DLC levels had sexualities, but ho hum.

I got this for ~£5 in the Steam sale and it'll likely be even cheaper in the winter sale.

How on Earth can Nintendo even justify this at this point? It's awful practice. There were no problems with the game from those who were lucky enough to snag an EU eShop download, and if they're not going to come clean and tell us why then I'm just not interested.

£40 for Rhythm Thief? Are you for real, Sega?

I got it for about £25 near launch. Next thing you know they'll be saying we can't have a sequel because it didn't sell well enough. Ridiculous.

Mega Man X, plus cheaper Acorns and Bike Rider? It's gonna be a comparatively busy Thursday for me...

"Major events in London, Manchester and Birmingham"

More like major events in London and Manchester and then a few 3DS demo units in Birmingham

@Spaciouz A word of warning, though: the dialogue is awful and the story is cheesy. It's the kind of thing you have to /want/ to love.

Any word on how it'll be priced? I'm not paying £40 for a glorified DS port that's only one-third of a game that Japan got.

@Spaciouz The football is a bit more simplistic than FIFA, but it's basically that. It also has a Pokemon-esque collection aspect which sees you collecting hundreds of players.

They're good games; I'd highly recommend picking the first up as it's only about £8 from CeX.

I've wanted this for a while, but I'm still not sure I can justify £30 on something like this. eShop prices are getting closer to how they're supposed to be, but they're still a little high for me for my liking.

I'll be finishing up Rayman Legends (just the last few Origins levels to go and I'll have 100%ed it!) and maybe making further progress on The Wonderful 101, which I put on hold for the limbless wonder.

That and maybe playing a little more Inazuma Eleven 2, which I need to get out of the way for "EMBARGOED".

I like how the first two questions in the Kickstarter's FAQ basically admit that it's an expensive Wii U knock-off and then try (and fail) to justify it.

@JaxonH Well, my info was from the press release Nintendo gave out, so there must have been a miscommunication. Either way, $60 for a special edition (I believe that's the usual RRP for games in America) is trivial compared to £60 - the usual RRP for games over here is actually £40, so it's basically the equivalent to you paying $90.

What I really don't understand is why Game is charging £60 for this edition (£15 more than the regular edition!) whereas in America, it costs $54 (only $5 more than the regular).

Making this a Game exclusive was a terrible move. Their prices are awful.

please don't just be sex appeal please don't just be sex appeal please don't just be sex appeal

This game has the potential to be pretty good as long as it isn't "Boobs And Explosions: The RPG For Heterosexual Men And Nobody Else".

The European box for the bundle doesn't show Hyrule Historia, but is instead bundled with a 7 day trial for Karaoke Joysound.

So I guess that's confirmed to hit before 4th October~

The Fraggle Rock theme? Is any kid playing this game in 2014 going to know what Fraggle Rock is?

The fact that I'm hearing better things about this than even the masterpiece that was Origins is incredible! Now to hope and pray that my pre-order ends up arriving a day or two early...

I'll probably buy it because I am a slave to the man but I... I'm scared.

Although if it turns out to be good and addictive, lord knows I'll end up buying a second copy on iOS as well as eShop. I just can't stop.

Can we have an ETA on the Rayman review? I'm really excited to hear how it stacks up against Origins (which is one of my all-time favourite games).

Ubi Art framework? I'm sold already. Rayman Origins was beautiful.

Great news!

Now, if only anyone watched ITV4 ever.

I'll end up using it a lot, probably, but I'm no artist so it's not particularly worth paying for constant access to the online gallery.

Still, should be fun to doodle a few things.
