Wii

1.1 Wii U million sales from April-September is impressive considering how bad they'd been doing previously but 3.6 million more until March. I hope they do but I just don't see it happening.

Yes the crazy expectations are alive and well. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/10/29/uk-nintendo-results-idUKKBN0II0HC20141029 That better include 3DS, it must do. Of course it does, doesn't it? Edit: No they mean just Wii U.

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-29813672 4 years?! That's a hell of a long time waiting for a profit. What I don't get is turning their first quarterly profit of 215 million Yen to reaching 40 billion Yen operating profit by the end of the year? They must be expecting some mega gangbuster sales for that to happen. Can't see it myself and it's not the first time they've had crazy expectations.

I do think Bayonetta needs more sales than HW to be profitable. Bayonetta 2 was 5 years in the making and HW had a really short development cycle.

Pic of the day. Classic mode in the Wii U version is set up like a battle coliseum with multiple fighters teamed up with each other. Move your trophy and join in anywhere you want. You can see faint images of stages on the platform--the number of fighters clustered on those images indicates the number of fighters you'll face. As you can see, this feature leverages the fact that the game supports multiplayer with up to eight players. After each battle, the fighters that lost get blown away!! The fighters remaining on the field will once again team up with other fighters on the field. You can actually choose fighters you've blown away to join your team in team battles. A rival will always appear in this mode, and the longer that character survives, the stronger it will get. Extremely disjointed waiting for the captions and subsequent picture 45 minutes after the first picture went live.

[/img] Fox looks good. Samus not so much. Also, ASDA have Amiibo for £10 including delivery. http://direct.asda.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ASDA-Site/default/Search-Show?q=amiibo

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/10/28/nintendo-earnings-what-to-watch-5/ That's good news. It's a start, long may it continue and the Christmas period with Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2, New 3DS, Captain Toad and others should help garner some more profits. The Wii U can't be selling at a loss still?

Blue shells = P00 smells. Somewhere along the line it got Lost In Translation. Say Bill, can I stop you for a Nintendo Minute, what do you think of Blue Shells?

Well what I got from that post was that you laugh when you're punished unfairly in a Nintendo game, whereas now he didn't say it directly but it's implied that other game makers don't do the same. I don't know about you but let's just use Ashleys example. Have you ever laughed when you've been hit by a blue shell? I certainly haven't. I might laugh at others getting screwed in some scenarios but never when it happens to myself and blue shells are unfair regardless of who it hits. They're not funny.

Said this might be the new Baby Park. http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1715573&postcount=3117 So of the new vehicles we know: Links Master Cycle B Dasher Tanooki Jeep ????? That'll make up the 4 vehicles so. Edit: Wrong. It's not a new vehicle. Thought we'd get an Excitebike bike.

Trouble with GAME? There's a first. Dirty rotten b@st@rds! How long do UK residents have to wait for a refund? I had to wait 45 days, said I was "international", even though I'm in the EU and only across the pond. Hopefully it turns up. 21st - 28th, doesn't look good though.

Pic of the day. Stamina-based, Mega-sized with the Bunny Hood, Back Shield with Reflect, Lightweight, Slow, Angled Smash.

Reggie? Should have said Captain Falcon. He hasn't been seen in his own game for 11 years and it came out here on October 31 but then they are American.

Are you high?

Speaking of drivel, some of the games scheduled for next year are exactly that, drivel. The only 2 games I'm definitely buying are Xenoblade and Zelda(chances are it'll be the year after before it's released). Some of the others I wouldn't even spit on.

Toad can't jump in the game. Are you sure you played it?

It's starting to get a bit of attention from the sites now. Beforehand it was just in the forums. http://kotaku.com/nintendos-amiibo-figures-look-a-little-bit-different-in-1651030422 We'll see definitively the differences when more people get their hands on the finished article.

It's a victory of sorts. Would have liked it to do better. Some of the other games above it have been out a good while but then again a lot of them have TV advertisement. I hope it sticks around for at least a few weeks. I really would love the numbers to be given out like in the U.S. and Japan. I bet number 40 in the chart sells a few hundred to make it there.

Hitler or Hussein? They're both a bunch of w@nk€rs. I hate both clubs, United more so. I'd love to wallow in their despair some more but a draw makes things more interesting for the league.

I bet you are. G.I Peach going commando.

Waiting for the pervy comments. But seriously they have. The link one isn't great because the new figure is slightly out of focus but still the new stand is horrible. Why's he looking at the ground? There was a better photo but I can't find it. The shield isn't as detailed. The chainmail is now painted on. The Peach figurine is easier to see. She's had botched plastic surgery on her face, she doesn't look like she's supposed o. Her hands are chubbier. Her dress, it's not as detailed. The gold is now painted on whereas on the old one it was inlayed. The painting of them looks slightly cheaper.

Mmmmmmm! Lickilicious! Cool banner by the way. I presume that's your handy work @RedShell?

Has anybody else noticed that the prototype Amiibo's were of better quality than the finished products? I've seen a good few people comment on it elsewhere. They've definitely cut back on the level of detailing.

Wii U - Bayonetta 2 All-Ages Accolades Trailer This is the kind of ad that should be on TV. Speaking of which has anybody seen any ads on TV for this game? Is there to be no TV ad campaign whatsoever?

Mewwho? Metoo!
