https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yachtclubgames/shovel-knight/posts/1087417 Going to buy this game this evening. Said before that I'd wait for a price drop but they deserve every penny.

You do know what a floater is right? I've 2 definitions, neither of which are good. You should want to buy it because you think it's good not because someone else doesn't like it. I'm going to buy both Steam World Dig and Shovel Knight on the eShop this evening for half the price of CT: TT. I'm not worried what anybody thinks, I know they're good. Sorry, they're great. That's probably what CT:TT should be, an eShop game. Which makes me think, should this and will this be released on the eShop tomorrow now? *Shudders*

There's a load of games with up to 50% off on the eShop. Steam World Dig is half price at only €4.49 and the one that caught my eye and will be purchasing. I didn't see that mentioned in any press release so check it out for others that might suit yourself. Also there's: Nano Assault Neo — €7.49 / £6.70 (normally €9.99 / £8.99) Art of Balance — €6.70 / £5.35 (normally €8.99 / £7.15)

You know it's going to happen. That's 2 down, 1 to go in terms of regions. As soon as it was announced for Japan I said it should be ready for all regions on Christmas Day. http://n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1726675&postcount=1309

Please do. Fuel for the fire is always welcome. Or I could make one of those video games in a microwave clips on Youtube. Or flush it down the toilet and see if it's a floater. It'll be a floater in terms of sales.

That draw couldn't have gone any better for Sheffield United. They've a real chance of making the final now. They've the worst team left in the Cup and the second leg at home. The Blades will cut right through them Sours.

I said it's a theory and maybe it is stretching. Time will tell. But thanks for developing the discussion.

Remember this? What game does that remind you of? The game will be out in a years time, yet it had no developer at E3. Nintendo are fond of reusing assets. I wonder if they'll use part of Zelda U's engine as a basis for Starfox's land based battles at least to speed up development? It's just a theory. Maybe stretching.

Not to mention the furore and threats of legal action that was made before about some retailers when they broke the release date by a couple of days for Nintendo games. Now GAME are getting the jump on everyone else by 2 weeks in some cases. You can't have it both ways.

I have contacts. They're actually quite irritating on the eyes. So now it seems that it'll be on sale in-store at GAME on Monday. I'd post a link but apparently I don't need to. Nah, of course I'll provide a link. I'm not that conceited, arrogant or obnoxious. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=954655 A bit $h1t€ for everyone outside of the UK. GAME are scum and dead in Ireland. Not a problem for me at least. It's not very good marketing and it won't do much for its chart placement.

You've been asked countless times before to back up your claims. I provide links. Regarding your Pukemon site which I couldn't care less about. I'll just nick this from my other post. It's probably popular because Pukemon are popular and in spite of you. $h1t on a stick and all that. @Guy Admit it, you love it.

Well I've direct contact with The Almighty. Deal with that. Your word isn't Gospel and the past has proven so.

Sweet! I have this sandwiched between my Gamecube and Gameboy player. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you where the packaging is. Fairly certain it's long since gone. Never got to use it for anything either. Around €45 at the time and it did nothing but I just had to have everything going for the Cube.

I'm glad you finally admitted it.

Wii U has a 2:1 lead on PS4 in Japan(>2,000,000 to <1,000,000). Japan is also DQ's biggest market by a country mile. A DQ game would perform more than adequately well on Wii U both in terms of sales and aesthetics. DQ is a phenom over there, it's unlike nearly every other franchise. It doesn't just sell the game, it shifts hardware by the bucket load. If it's on Wii U it will make the console more successful. Nintendo should be courting S-E to get in on its platform, perhaps leveraging amiibo as an advantage.

That's the second time you've claimed that without any source. I haven't seen any site reputable or otherwise claim or even speculate about this happening. Not saying it won't happen because it should be out before Christmas. It was a retarded decision to launch it on January 2nd. They could easily do it with extra manpower.

A transcript of the information regarding the new Zelda game gleaned from this interview with Shigeru Miyamoto: You showed the Zelda trailer and that’s such a huge world. How is that going to be for you guys to approach as far as gameplay and story, because it’s such a huge world? With Zelda games, what we’ve always done is try to make them where you enter this big world of Hyrule and there’s a lot to explore and discover, but because of the hardware limitations, what we’ve had to do is segment off each area and piece those segments together in a way that make them feel like a big world. Now, with the hardware capabilities of Wii U, we first started by saying if we can take an entire world the size of the world from Twilight Princess, and make that the size of one of the areas in the game. Do you see that as a game where people will go to complete a certain mission and they end up doing fifty things along the way? Yeah, there may even be times where you forget what your goal is, because you are doing other things on the side. There may be times where you go in to one big one long dungeon, or you’re headed for a dungeon and doing other things on the side. What we’re trying to do is design it in a way where you don’t have to play it for a super long time, but more matched to today’s lifestyle where you can think for a little bit, and say “maybe I just want to play for a little bit today and do this one thing.” and get that thing done, then take a break.

Shigeru Miyamoto Interview (Creator of Mario!) Very good interview and does give a little insight into upcoming games like Starfox and Zelda Wii U.

I never said they couldn't but what are they all going to unlock? It's a bit of superficial fluff so far. And I was being conservative about £500. It's more likely £600. Here in Ireland each amiibo is over a Euro more than the Sterling price equivalent, times that by 50 and it adds up.

Yeah, sorry I just read about that.

It could only be GTA 5 that did that. It's the only PS4 game in the top 20. A lot people were obviously waiting for this before jumping in. Smash Bros. Wii U has very respectable second week sales and CT: TT increased sales on last week. A beastly debut for Yo-kai Watch 2 on 3DS.

Don't worry I wasn't going to and won't be. My indifference is absolute. When does the madness stop? Are people seriously going to spend £500 just to get the Smash Bros amiibo collection?
