To add to what @ThomasBW84 said, the Ashes is a five match series with up to 150 hours of cricket spread over twenty five days, each day features up to ninety overs (an over consisting of six balls) for a potential maximum of 13,500 balls.

Leicestershire is pretty much at the centre of England and it's main exports are crisps and Gary Lineker. Consider yourself enlightened.

I predict that this game will get at least ten out of ten.

I had read elsewhere that this was a single player only affair, it's good to find out 3DS Virtual Console games emulate the link cable function, not that I'm particularly bothered about this game but more for the inevitable release of Tetris. I'm guessing you need two copies of the game rather than it supporting some kind download play.

I couldn't watch the whole video, it made me want to cry

I can recall when the original Grand Theft Auto was released and there were people trying to get it banned and not only had I not heard of the game before the controversy but I actually bought it (I was only thirteen at the time so I had to get my older sister to buy it for me) purely on the basis that it was so controversial.

While it's not exactly an ideal situation that we have to wait a few months longer than our friends across the pond, I think this needs to be put in some perspective. Super Mario World was released in America before we even had our hands on Mario Bros 3 so it's pretty safe to say that regional delays have become shorter and we even get some games first these days, Europe had Minish Cap before America or even Japan.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, I don't mind people using the singular case to refer to a company but for some reason it really annoys me when people use it for bands i.e. if someone were to say "Radiohead is my favourite band".

If only the service was available in the UK.
As for the grammar point, Netflix as a company are more than one person so it is correct to use it as a plural. Similarly, one would say "Radiohead are an English band" rather than using is. Later is the article, Netflix refers to the service rather than the company so using the singular case is correct there.

I hope that the PAL version isn't censored like the original. Also, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is an album and a half, just a shame it's not on Spotify

Wii Play is not a great game to say the least but when you subtract the cost a the remote it's only £5 and the tanks game alone is worth that.

@BlackFira
The reason it couldn't be done on the SNES is because to have two players on the same screen the game either needs to be able to zoom out when the players are separated (which requires a higher resolution that was available then) or force them to stay close to each other which would have been detrimental to the game play.

@Kirk
That's not how Famitsu scores work, each game is awarded a score out of ten by four people and they simply combine their scores to give a score out of 40.

This is tempting as I have American, Japanese and European SNES games and it would be nice to have one console that plays them all. The best I've got at the moment is a modified PAL SNES that plays European and Japanese games with a 50/60hz switch on the side.

I honestly don't get how people can own the console yet be so oblivious, I can understand not being able to configure a wifi network because to the laymen it is confusing but to not even know it can be done. Don't they wonder what the shop, weather and news channels are?
I guess I've just got a curious mind so that's why I can't understand it, it's like at work when the lottery terminal received a firmware upgrade and buttons with LD1 through LD4 appeared on the screen to make it quicker to print off lucky dips (random number combinations), so many people still do it the old and time consuming way because they don't know what these buttons do but the very first thing I did when I saw them was I pressed them to see what they did.

@Outrunner
They will be released in Europe, it's just a question of when rather than if.

Bit Trip: Void

I was under the impression that Probotector Rebirth was coming in Europe in August but this is the last update of the month and no sign of it.
I guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer but I am disappointed as I'd allowed my hopes to be raised by talk of an August release.

Might as well just play the original.

@Stardust

Brooks83 is indeed correct, Yoshi's Island featured the Super FX2 chip whereas Mario Kart and Pilotwings used a co-processor to help with the calculations needed for advanced use of mode 7.

All games are on one disc, I'm assuming it'll be a dual-layer (9gb) DVD but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just single-layer (4.5gb).

With this and Probotector Rebirth (what the f*** is Contra? ) coming out this month, I'm pretty set for new games.

It looks like an interesting concept but I just don't have a hundred quid lying about to spend on a game.

I'm tempted by Nyxquest as I really like 2D platformers but for some reason I never got into Lostwinds, maybe I should give it another chance.

I've bought two games from Gameloft (one for WiiWare and one for the Android mobile phone platform) and both have been pretty poor. In my eyes they are a bit of a joke of a game developer.

Was he actually making money from this? If so then the sentence is justified but otherwise I feel it's a bit harsh and while I cannot condone piracy to call it evil is a bit over the top.
Also, in what way has piracy killed music? Since the advent of peer to peer file transfers people have been exposed to music that they wouldn't have heard otherwise and studies have shown music downloaders on average buy more albums. Plus artists make most of their money from touring and merchandising rather than record sales as the main chunk of that money goes to record labels who (indie labels excluded) don't care about music at all but just about making money. I'm not using the music example to condone what this guy has done in any way, I'm just saying that it annoys me both as a music fan and a musician when people say piracy harms music.

The original Worms was a game and a half, everything after that was pretty poor in comparison.

I've wanted for years to get a Virtual Boy but the fact that I suffer from migraines makes it a bit of a non-starter.

This game looks mint, just hope that it hits Europe soon along with Bit Trip Core.

I like the final smash moves, the best bit is when the ball appears and everyone is trying to get it first.

I'll definitely be buying this, the only thing I dunno who to play as since my team were relegated to the Championship a few weeks ago.

Gainscwa, it's all button presses this time around with the d-pad being held in the relevant direction then the 2 button pressed to activate the beams.

Sean, I think the reason IGN don't try to broaden their appeal is because they don't want to alienate their reader base, many of whom pay for membership.

Looks like a cross between Warioware and Mario Paint.

Can not wait for this.

If it's a choice between a Sega game and an EA game, I'd have to go with Sega every time.

@ MatTheCat
I bought the game today and have been experiencing the same issue as you, however I don't feel that it detracts from how enjoyable the game is.

I can't wait for this game to come out in the UK so I can play it, I just wish Nintendo didn't keep us in the dark over release dates.

@ Adam
The seal of quality was never a mark of the merits of a game but rather that it was coded well enough to not crash your system and didn't contain any objectionable material (hence the original Mortal Kombat being released minus the blood). I've played far too many truly appalling SNES games (Pitfighter is the one that springs to mind immediately) to believe that the Nintendo seal of "quality" is worth very much at all.

The thing about this is will it be as good as the original?

No way, they release this just as I've spent all my points AND lost my Visa card so I can't buy any more

I bought LostWinds but never got into it, probably should give it another chance but it takes up a lot of space on my Wii.

I've played Boulder Dash on Acorn back in the day but had no idea what it was called. On Acorn you could edit the sprites to design your own characters as well as levels but I guess it was probably a later version that the one mentioned here.

I'd like to see an official Nintendo drive released but I'm worried they might take the micky slightly with the price.

Nintendo have said there's a 40mb upper limit on WiiWare titles.

I prefer Street Fighter II Turbo myself but that could just be because I play as Chun Li and she had her fireball move taken away for Super Street Fighter II because apparently she was too good.
