Prom comes from promenade - "A leisurely walk, especially one taken in a public place as a social activity."
From wikipedia
"Prom is short for promenade concert, a term which originally referred to outdoor concerts in London's pleasure gardens, where the audience was free to stroll around while the orchestra was playing. "
By the way for those hoping for a UK value substantially lower than the dollar prepare to be disappointed. With the current value of the £ and then adding on VAT we are now reaching parity with dollar prices.
My copy arrived today from Nintendo UK (with the set of three Amiibo) and so far I'm a bit underwhelmed. It hasn't really grabbed me and I feel that I'm playing it because I should, not because I really want to.
I'm also finding the control mechanism hard to get use to.
I'm mixed on this game - I'm really looking forward to the exploration and love the creature design but the overly complex combat and the in-battle talking really put me off. I was looking at the English videos of the 3DS game and the in-battle dialogue was really grating. Now that I've seen the complexity involved battles i'm starting to have my doubts. The 'taunt mechanic' sounds awful and this won't work for me 'The video cited communication and listening to your party as a key to success in battle ...' sounds really frustrating.
I'll probably buy it anyway just to wander around.

That’s the parents, not Epic. They shouldn’t even be looking at screens during the week, let alone staying up late.

Re: Rumour: Target Will Sell Nintendo Switch For $299.99, 15 Titles Possible At Launch
By the way for those hoping for a UK value substantially lower than the dollar prepare to be disappointed. With the current value of the £ and then adding on VAT we are now reaching parity with dollar prices.
For example at todays exchange rates
$199 = £164 + 20% VAT = £196
$249 = £205 + 20% VAT = £246
$299 = £247 + 20% VAT = £296
And it's not going to get any better so it could easily go up in price.

Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Sends New Nintendo 3DS Owners the Wrong Legend of Zelda Cover Plates
Might need to set up a swap forum to sort this out!
Re: The Legend of Zelda New Nintendo 3DS Cover Plates Now Up For Pre-Order From Official UK Store, Out Now Elsewhere
These are both available from Amazon.de for a very reasonable €18.31 each

Unfortunately I can't find a single Amazon.de seller that will ship to the UK (for a reasonable price).
