Been trying to update No more heroes travis strikes again for two days now got to 50% then failed then consent error and X when attempting to download frustrating.
Added to my wishlist/watch list but feel like I need to wait until released. Awaiting to see what the day one patch does. Then await the 1 to 3 month bug fixing frame rate patches. Then see if they keep patching or we just have to accept the terrible frame rate drops and popin graphics and bugs. To finally get a masterpiece like The Witcher 3 turned out to be on the Nintendo Switch.
The joys of ownership of the Nintendo Switch, anyone heard the rumours that a pro console is coming out?
It would seem that way I can only find a American release for the game on Amazon.com, Play-Asia would appear to be the same. Oh well looks like I'll be importing it.
I struggled to work out what was eshop only and physical or both pretty obvious the online multiplayer games are digital only. But games like Ninja Gaiden Master Collection and Outer Wilds they digital or physical or both? Haha sucks being old and wanting only physical games glad to be picking up Hades though.
Amazon UK refunded me the money automatically and delivered on release day so I'm happy with the service didn't even ask or expect the refund so bonus.
Looking forward to getting this on the Wii U hopefully turns out good & gets good reviews. But not releasing at the same time as other platforms is always a downer just look at what happened with Watch dogs on Wii U ekk.
@gcunit I'm talking launch prices a handheld will be cheaper then a home console. And because the Wii U tanked hard in price it does not surprise me that the successful 3DS holds value better.
@JaxonH I can see what your saying but still comparing handheld Vs. home console is not right. First you pay a lot more for a home console so you expect a lot more first party top games & 3rd party support. First party top games on the Wii U yeah it has them last one being Smash then Mario Kart. But it's still not enough for die-hard Wii U fans like myself who have had the console since launch.
@JaxonH I don't regard the Vita as abandoned platform it has a steady flow of games & more games released on it then the Wii U. But comparing handhelds to consoles is not always a good idea. Even the 3DS does not have a bucket load of games. Also the Vita is the perfect handheld for people who like Japanese games / RPGs. The Wii U is a home console that costs more then the Vita or 3DS so having games released for it is a must as it's a bigger investment. Not saying you should not release games for handheld consoles but home consoles are more important to me & many others.
@Shiryu Glad I'm not the only one that feels like this. I love the Wii U & love the games I've played on it. It just seems to always be a drag on the Wii U waiting for the next game. Trouble is if you don't like the next game coming out on the Wii U your screwed because no 3rd party games come to the Wii U. So if you don't enjoy everything Nintendo puts onto the Wii U your pretty screwed. But even if you do enjoy everything Nintendo puts out on the Wii U you'll still have months waiting for the next game. Which as a fan of the Wii U can be rather annoying. I also feel we never know where we stand with the Wii U like the poor Virtual console & never 100% knowing what's coming out or when. Then with the NX rumors it's made me doubt the Wii U even more hopefully the direct will clear everything up & be happy days.
Sigh owning a Wii U since launch has been many lows with the odd high aka Mario 3D World & Mario Kart 8. Not sure what else is even worth looking forward to this year apart from Starfox. Splatoon does not interest me just got to look at how cheap the Pre-order prices are to see it's nothing more then a glorified e-shop title.
It's good that Nintendo games hold value. So all the people saying screw scalpers these people are not. It's not like they brought the game & thought I know these will making a killing on eBay & hold value.
If anything it's Nintendo fault for not meeting the demand for the game in the first place with enough physical copies. Meaning due to low numbers available more money when people sell on eBay.
This happens with loads of Nintendo games even going back to NES & SNES games they hold value. It's a good thing people so saying screw eBay sellers are just silly. A lot of people need to sell games for many reasons. And the fact Nintendo games hold value is a bonus unlike Sony or Xbox games which turn from £40.00 into £0.99 if your lucky.
Also I've already made the point they still are worth value & Nintendo Life article is wrong!
The one that sold before the direct was brand new which of course would drive up the price. Estocks always have low buy it now prices half the time they don't no what the true value of a item is & will always try to be the cheapest price on eBay or Amazon. They are selling the items they get from people selling them to music magpie. Estocks list with no information so you'd not no if it comes with manuals box or even cover. One sold yesterday - 171655613592 Total price - £63.99 So this article is rubbish!

Wow looks like a fun game & nice collectors set. Let me guess not out in Europe? Maybe that region hack still works? Still waiting on a game to try it out.
So I've gone ahead & ordered Senran Kagura 2 from Japan in the hope this works. If not I have 5 cool new figures 2 CD soundtracks & a game I can't play. Hopefully it does not get patched be a bit cheeky if Nintendo patch it when the older 3DS handhelds are being discontinued with the new one coming out. Also could you avoid the patch if they do by just turning off the updates?
@shinokami Same as me the limited edition of Senran Kagura 2 is so cheap now a days I'm thinking about double dipping even if they do release it over here at least I'd have the limited edition with the figures.
@Nanamine Personally I think the next line up for Wii U games would be better just as e-shop titles not full released Nintendo games. A side from Xenoblade it's just fodder to fill the gap between the big hitters like Starfox & Zelda this year if they even come this year.
This direct had crap mobile type pay games for 3DS & Wii U. Amiibo garbage. Then a new 3DS which really is not worth £179.99.
Not play many games ha. I just don't limit myself only to Nintendo games. I've said what I'm looking forward to most on Wii U - Starfox / Devil's Third / Project Cars.
