  1. Splatoon

    Having major problems with this demo. Just forever searching for a match with nothing happening. Can't get out unless you hard power down the console.
  2. Splatoon

    F*ck Cheatingvision! It's Splatoon time!
  3. Splatoon

    The Insanity of Splatoon's Splat Zones (Ranked Battle) with the Splat Charger at 60fps
  4. Splatoon

    I sent an e-mail to thegamecollection asking if my game will be sent out earlier than UK orders because it'll take longer for delivery. I hope I get a positive response and that it gets here earlier than Friday if possible. But somehow I can see the alternative of me twiddling my thumbs next weekend being more likely. Sure I'm still waiting for Watch Dogs to arrive and that was ordered over a week ago. Another great advantage us Irish gamers have. @Ashley I hear it's the French frogs that have been getting the game early.
  5. Wii U and 3DS Gaming Bargains

    Amazon are selling the Nintendo Wii U 32GB The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD Premium Pack for £169.99. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-32GB-Legend-Zelda/dp/B00EZMPY0A/
  6. Wii U General Discussion

    http://gonintendo.com/stories/234040-u-s-mutual-fund-becomes-top-nintendo-shareholder http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-mutual-fund-becomes-top-nintendo-shareholder-1432277440 I don't know if I like them owning any of Nintendo's shares. I can guess what they want Nintendo to do and why they've upped their stake in the company. Smart phone games.
  7. Splatoon

    Very well put and I concur. North American packaging for the Hori Splatoon gamepad protector. I don't have any gamepad protector. Really should get one. What do people think is the best? The one I think looks like it would do the best job is the Nerf gamepad protector. I'll get an image just now. And it can sit in the charger stand without any interference. I found one on Ebay before which was fairly priced but they charge €12 to post a bit of light foam from the UK. Twice the price of the actual gamepad protector itself. F*ck that. So what would ye recommend? 8-Bit Mario & Zelda Secrets in Splatoon
  8. Splatoon

    Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Smash Bros. Wii U, Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush, Mario Party 10, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars. I didn't see any of them get any advertising. I bet Yoshi which comes out after Splatoon doesn't get anywhere near as much advertising. None of them have DLC except Smash. There's not much and Smash advertises and sells itself. But I can see Splatoon going really heavy on DLC if it sells well initially. And they can recoup their advertising budget through the DLC. It's also a new franchise. But it is a game that lends itself well to DLC as much as any other ip Nintendo have if not more so. Sure we're getting the second half of the game through DLC. And they've paywalled on disc content already. It would be much easier doing DLC for this game than MK8. Nintendo may have visions of turning this game into an evergreen money spinner if it takes off as they hope. And like I said earlier the game is shipping half finished which shows it can work without everything being in place. Could they ship a Mario game and tell people they can play the second half in 3 months time? It wouldn't work. This can however, because each mode is self contained and can easily be accommodated by adding more when it's ready. I can see more Splatoon amiibo coming out as well e.g. the Octarians. It's just a thought before people start going mad.
  9. Eurovision Song Contest 2015

    Ireland got a really bad draw. Thet were in the second semi final which was tougher and they were the second act on stage. That's one of the worst lots to get. I'm not sure it's that those countries pay for it. I think it's that they've the largest viewership figures. It's still very unfair. They could have the worst song in the competition and they still get in. It's supposed to be about finding the best song and sure why not give those countries a larger say in the voting as well while they're at it?
  10. Splatoon

    Has anyone thought about why they've chosen to advertise this game and not any of the others? I have some theories...
  11. amiibo (NFC)

    Impressive looking custom Ice Climbers amiibo.
  12. It says here that last week was the worst week of sales in Japan since 2001. Not very surprising. It did stand out as an awfully bad week. http://kotaku.com/the-worst-japanese-sales-week-in-a-long-time-1706242144
  13. Eurovision Song Contest 2015

    No cheating is letting the UK, France, Spain Italy and Germany qualify automatically. Cheating is letting Australia into the "Euro" vision. Cheating is not making them qualify either. Cheating is the whole voting system. Cheating is the farce it has become at times. Now I'm going to make a hasty retreat.
  14. Splatoon

    Yeah Dr. bob, what were you thinking? That's bad grammar, you should have wrote "but I told him no. It doesn't have voice chat."
  15. I played it from start to finish but was glad when it was over. The controls weren't really a problem and were one of the few points about the game that was alright, although I did have to constantly recalibrate them.
  16. Splatoon

    I'm saying I'll believe it when I see ads on TV. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/05/nintendo_uk_planning_massive_marketing_push_for_splatoon Well it's something I guess. And I have said before this game is aimed at kids. How about prime time ads on the main terrestrial channels?
  17. Splatoon

    NINTENDO UK SAYS THEIR MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR SPLATOON MATCHES THAT OF MARIO KART 8 Coming from Nintendo UK marketing manager Chandra Nair... “We have a substantial campaign planned for Splatoon. To give you an idea of the scale, we’re matching Mario Kart 8 – that’s the potential we think Splatoon has. We have the utmost confidence in the potential of Splatoon. It gives retailers a fantastic art style that stands out in-store or on-screen and it also offers various up-sell opportunities with the accompanying Amiibo. It’s a really interesting game for us because it allows us to expand out to a group of people who may never have considered Wii U before.” Nintendo UK has said the campaign includes digital billboards, cinema ads ahead of Tomorrowland and Mad Max, sponsorship of Cartoon Network, a digital campaign that started in April and a Splatoon-themed skatepark in Corby. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'll believe it when I see it. Mario Kart 8 was the last Wii U ad I seen on TV.
  18. Wii U and 3DS Gaming Bargains

    It's not the time that may be the problem. It's how much stock have they got? My order's been despatched before 9a.m., that was quick. Think I'll have to avoid paying through Paypal anymore, they're thieving b@st@rds on the exchange rate. It always costs more than what it should. And we've to pay for postage as well which the Brits don't have to coupled with the worst rate I've ever seen the Euro trading against the Sterling makes all these deals less sweet. Paypal the thieving c*n*s are only giving 68c on the £1 when the rate is 71c.
  19. Skyward Sword. I hate it so much I can't be bothered to talk about it. Do a search if you want my views on this piece of crap.

  21. Wii U and 3DS Gaming Bargains

    I don't think it will be. It's a flash sale and it's the first thing you see in a big banner when you visit the homepage. But then again it might be as the Wii U owners market is limited. I need help. I ordered it. Probably not fully awake and have my full wits about me.
  22. Wii U and 3DS Gaming Bargains

    Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush is £19.99 at thegamecollection.net. http://www.thegamecollection.net/kirby-and-the-rainbow-paintbrush-wii-u.html Damn. I've got to stop buying games. I've a backlog 5 years long at least. Despite this game not reviewing well and it's many faults(short, playing at the gamepad wastes its graphics, repetitive etc) I'm still partially tempted by a seriously good price and if nothing else completing my collection.

    Sonic Boom: Where Did It All Go Wrong? So many lies and it seems we've got SEGA and Nintendo really to blame for this game being a mess, not Big Red Button.
