Wii

Thanks. When I do get one it'll have to be portable. I've enough sockets used up. I don't have a spare socket and it's overloaded as it is. Seagate is the brand I'm looking to get as well. A generic brand I presume you mean?

Says who? I said they're not available everywhere. They're not in any shop in Ireland. Available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-LAN-Adapter/dp/B00BERB8B8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1414677407&sr=1-1&keywords=Nintendo+Wii+U+LAN+Adapter+%28Nintendo+Wii+U%29 Overpriced. Just as well Nintendo didn't make a hard drive. BTW, I'm still waiting for a link and the brand of the 2TB hard drive that you got for £50?

Damn ye are making me hungry. Nearly all sandwiches need to have cheese or it's not a proper sandwich. The only one I could think of was a tuna & sweetcorn baguette. Never had cheese on it before. Don't see why not though. Must try that next time. Cheese is great! I like making my own at times. Nothing exotic but white bread, ham, chicken, egg mayonnaise, potato salad, lettuce, coleslaw, cheddar cheese and spreadable cheese. Delicious! @Agent Gibbs Fish finger sandwiches are awesome with cheese of course but no ketchup. I only use that for burgers.

Some sites do, some don't. Ye have free postage, generally it's £3 delivery for us. Larger items are much more expensive. A lot won't deliver anything electrical. I post bargains in the Wii U/3DS thread a bit and most of it is irrelevant to me as they won't post here. Like just now the Assassins Creed Blag Flag Skull Edition is back in stock at Tesco for £20. I'd like to get it but they won't deliver to Ireland. They've no Wii U stock instore anywhere here, never has been. Ye have it good. http://www.tesco.com/direct/assassins-creed-black-flag-skull-edition-wii-u/480-7388.prd?skuId=480-7388&pageLevel=sku&_requestid=805957

??????? ???????

We do have it pretty rough. But honestly do you see Wii LAN adapters anywhere these days in the shops or Wii U accessories? S4C? God is that a good or a bad thing? I had it on Sky. Switched to UPC, so no more. Have you ever seen TG4? It's our equivalent but it's better.

A crying cat made smell sh1t and a simple camel eating said sh1t.

Relative to what? A banana? Link, brand please? That is not the norm for a reputable 2TB drive. Certainly not here in Ireland That's rich coming from you, the "King of facts with no source". a. Cop on would you? I'm not comparing controllers to hard drives. It's hard enough finding a Wii U Pro controller or other Wii U accessories nevermind a fictional hard drive. Here's another one, Nintendo's best solution to Smash Bros. Wii U online lag? Buy a Wii LAN adapter. Right, because they're readily available everywhere. No they're not! b. I said it's "possible". I don't care what you have on your memory. It's possible to have 100's of VC games and it's possible to have 1 digital retail game and not have enough room for another game. Take your own advice: "Please fact check and try to understand the actual topic of conversation before responding next time. Thanks :)" I've also noted that you throw out your insults followed by a smilie as if somehow that makes them acceptable. Edit: And I'm done now but last point. Nintendo have never lied to us? Right. Of course they have, they do it all the time. You have to protect the brand and think of things like shareholders and stock price. They're not going to purposely damage themselves at least. They do a good enough job of that regardless.

Bingo! You got it in one. Release the New 3DS and that old stock will go nowhere. They'd have to reduce the price of the old stock as well.

I know it makes heavier. I don't believe their reasoning behind it. They tell fibs all the time. I think what Iwata said in the latest quarters results about why the New 3DS isn't coming out this year in Europe/U.S. is a lie.

Let's deal with just this bit. They are not relatively cheap. It also has to be dedicated to just the Wii U, you can't use the hard drive for other devices. (A.)Buy a proprietary hard drive? You must be kidding? You can't even find a Wii U Pro controller in the shops. Will we ever see gamepads for sale in shops? Could you imagine the shipping costs Nintendo would pay(weight) for hard drives? They'd enough on their plate without that extra burden and non proprietary would be cheaper. (B.)Why would you need to dismantle your console? Put enough there in the first place. Yes, eventually you may have to buy a hard drive. 32GB's though is shambolic, it's possible to fill that with 2 downloaded games. In fact, it's possible to not have enough room after 1 game. That's not right. It was for no other reason than money. It's always about the money. They had the larger battery available near straight away and conveniently fit the void around the original perfectly and costs a pretty penny. If it was about ergonomics they probably wouldn't have made the gamepad. I think I've said it before but because of their crappy memory I sold my free game download that came with MK8. If it was a decent hard drive I'd have tonnes more digital games. Every time there's an indie game I might like, my very first thought is what size is it? http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1689900&postcount=1078 Never did buy it because of that reason. €3 was nothing, absolutely nothing, it was a nailed on bargain! 1GB+ made my decision.

I would think so yes. Platinum are long done with that game and sales were so disappointing it'll most likely never see a sequel let alone amiibo support. There's been no talk of Bayonetta amiibo so W101 has no chance. Though I can't imagine the Bayonetta audience would care about amiibo, I certainly don't.

I agree, it's a pitiful amount of memory. They cut huge corners with things like that and a terrible gamepad battery. The Wii U is only $50 cheaper than the Xbox1 this Christmas in the States but when you have to buy a hard drive, that difference is more than wiped out not to mention another appliance sucking electricity. It's like the 3DS coming without a charger, it makes it look cheaper than it actually is. I have wondered if Nintendo did this purposely. In years to come, when the servers are shut and your hard drive packs it in, and there's no access to downloading the game or patches will we be forced to buy these games again on future VC's? There are games on VC which I've never purchased because I have them still on the SNES for example. That's a potential sale lost but if a game is broken without a patch or can't be redownloaded then you may be forced to repurchase it. Anyway that's just speculation, who knows what it'll be like in 20 years time. Will we still be around, will Nintendo be around, will we still be gaming? They might have sorted a brilliant account system by then.

Iwata attempts to explain why the New 3DS isn't launching in Europe/U.S. this year, which is BS in my opinion. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/141030/02.html It also sounds like that the rest of the world hasn't bought enough of the current 3DS. When we do, then we can have the New 3DS.

Pic of the day. "Your finger stinks!!" "It is bitter, yet tasty."

Some Amiibo will only be available as a limited time offer. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/141030/04.html

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/141030/05.html The first game they plan to do this with is Super Smash Bros. Wii U. That's a convenient feature for those that buy digital. I believe the competition already have this implemented.

Nintendo France have a live Twitch feed of Smash Bros. Wii U right this minute. http://www.twitch.tv/nintendofr

[TWEET]527414799337263104[/TWEET] It's £299.99. I wouldn't say it's an absolute bargain but someone might be interested.

Not interested in it. I'd never pay a subscription service. If Nintendo went down this road as it's way of distributing games exclusively in the future I'd pack my bags and quit gaming.

My games have finally been dispatched today. Only a week late and now I'll wait another 2 weeks for delivery. Top notch customer service. Live and learn.

It should break 2 million copies sold next week. Wii U had another bad week. Looking at Nintendo's results this morning, it's doing worse than this time last year. The Evil Within didn't help PS4 much but maybe kept it from posting Wii U sales numbers. 3DS is where all the sales are at. It's sold x3 everything else combined. Is there a way to avoid "automerged doublepost"? It's a bit silly to post a comment 6 hours later and it's still counted as 1 post. It then looks from the outside like nothing new has been posted.

That's fine making a couple hundred million Yen profit this quarter but you have also to factor in the opening quarter loss of 9.5 billion Yen. So in the second half of the year they've to make over 49 billion to reach the 40 billion Yen target. Yes everything is loaded towards Christmas but then the last quarter will be quiet comparatively. Most of, if not all the analysts and reports say it can't be done. But then some of them got this quarters predictions wrong so we'll see. Think about it. The Wii U has sold 7.3 million in almost 2 years. Now they expect it to sell 3.6 million more in just 6 months with less retail support and 3rd party support than when they first started. No. They expect to sell 3.6 million more Wii U's in 6 months. Don't you go mentioning the word crazy, Looney Tunes. It's not clear. Is it 3.6 million total for the year or 3.6 million in 6 months?
