Those trophies look fantastic. Me and my partner and a few Nintendo mates were going to come but I had an Achilles operation so can't walk or drive I'm gutted. Will you be doing it again at this venue?
@ninstarkof if being first is your idea of "achieving something" and gives you a feeling of "pride" then I really wouldn't want to have your sad little life. And shut up about Iwata too. Show some respect,
Unfortunately I had major Achilles' tendon surgery a few weeks ago and won't be mobile for another three months. But will check it out as soon as I can.
I would LOVE a new DKR game. Just started playing through the original,again on my JDS and it still holds up today. Sadly, though, I can't see this being a Wii U game as MK8 and DLC is dominating that market and they wouldn't want to dilute that.
I didn't get an email, but checked the link and hey presto I'm eligible. Sadly, two weeks until payday so I can't get one sure it will be sold out by then
I played a Mario kart arcade game for the first time this summer. Dunno which one it was, but the handling was awful, and the graphics excruciatingly bad. I put a quid in, played one track, won, and then was asked to put another quid in to continue!
Can honestly, and sadly, say that there is not a single title there on either format that interests me more than happy with what I have to be going on with, toad I might pick up if the price and reviews are good, and hoping for a SNES remix to tide me over.
Is it confirmed that Mario Kart 8 is £49.99 download in the UK? I am downloading it - the first time I have ever downloaded a full price retail game on any system. Got £50 credit from GAME so I still get reward points.
My rationale is that I am never going to want to trade it in, and i tend to only have one disc game going at once. I am STILL battling my way through SMB 3D World (up to champions run), and Donkey Kong country is still in cellophane waiting to be played.
So MK8 download it is (and Zelda Windwaker HD as the second game, as I haven't played that).
Does anyone know if this works for the download version? I bought Mario Kart SNES so qualify for the £5 off. If I buy the download version can I still qualify for the free copy of windwaker?
@luna-harmony tha lack of bonuses with mario 3D world preorders was down to nintendo not GAME. The bonuses were sent out separately 24hrs after the game. If you didn't get yours tweet them.....
I made THREE separate attempts to pick up my preordered, prepaid copy of SM3DWorld from my local GAME store here in Norwich before I finally managed to get it. My first attempt was 9am, I finally got it at 5pm. Why? The queues for PS4 and Black Friday deals. Each time the queue was over half an hour from door to checkouts and I only had half an hour parking. Not everyone would have had the staying power I did. It was MADNESS to launch on that day!

@gamerphil07 thanks! Appreciate that glad MK8 doesn't use an accelerator pedal anyway

At a pinch maybe a 3DS game.
