Hyrule Warriors Launch Event at Nintendo World Holy Hyrule that was some line. It was cool to see all the Zelda merchandise in store as well. Scabby on your man at the end, I think he was expecting more than a key chain. I presume the closer to number one, the greater the prize. I'd like to know what the top prize was. A treasure chest from Japans LE bundle perhaps.

Very good article and a nice read. I agree with Ashley, no way I can see MK8 being £20 in May next year or discounted at all. I think the pricing of DLC for MK8 is very fair. I have questions and doubts over Hyrule Warriors though. The Mario Golf DLC sounds terrific value as well. The Forza 5 "deal" is scandalous. I could be Nintendo have learnt from others mistakes or it could be Nintendo's first forrays into this market. You've got to start from the start and attract and incentivise people to check out your wares. Will it go up in time as they get more established? How did the competition first start out price wise and content wise? I genuinely don't know. Like every other company out there, Nintendo are greedy, they increase their markup if they feel the market will allow it or reduce the amount of content for the same price. Last point, Nintendo should learn from others mistakes but they also should look in the mirror and learn from their own mistakes as well.

http://nintendoeverything.com/bayonetta-2-sold-through-67-of-its-initial-shipment-in-japan/ That last bit I've highlighted, it could be important. We'll see what next week brings. It came out on a Saturday, maybe people were enjoying the weekend off. Still if you want it, I'd say most would get it launch day. I think and hope it'll sell better in Europe and NA.

Perhaps you're right, it could be a West v East thing. Famitsu did give it 36/40. But then again it's Famitsu. Still pixelly multiplayer, no online multiplayer and a buggy game stands out in any language. The bugs at least can and have been fixed.

Oh sorry, it's not day 1. Better throw the whole statement in the bin. Oh but look at your statement, "Your entire argument is based on inaccurate information". Into the bin goes your rubbish too.

We can if Serebii stops with the lying name calling. Troll? I've not played it but it looks horrific. It's like playing through frosted glass. I never said it wasn't fleshed out, obviously it is. That's Serebii misinterpretting my post. I just said Bayonetta 2 was fleshed out, meaning you've a free game, tonnes of fan service, they've taken their time, it looks beautiful, 60 FPS, it has online multiplayer, etc., etc. So if Nintendo and Platinum decide to do DLC, good luck to them, I don't mind. I haven't heard Platinum bleating on and showing us the paid for DLC that'll be out on day 1. I haven't heard of this game needing a patch. There's a reason, several reasons why Hyrule Warriors has a Metacritic score of 74.

Sound advice. That's what I'm doing with Bayonetta 2. I've looked at a couple of scores and their summaries. Not that it matters now, it's been ordered the last month and I know it's good at this stage. I'll glance at the scores just out of curiosity and see what particular sites score it. It's the same with Smash 3DS. It looks good, we know it's good and the scores have been good. I wouldn't pass any heed of some low click bait reviews.

That's a blatant lie and well you know it.

It's pointless "debating" with you. You only see one side EVER. This game had a short and rushed development cycle. It had DLC and patches from day one. It wasn't even out here yet and Japan had DLC. Didn't Japan get the Wooden Sword on the day it released here? The alternate costumes. You mean the ones we seen months ago and were forced to buy from certain retailers or else buy as DLC? You know they could have given this game proper development time instead of releasing patches to fix bugs straight away and DLC that was already ready and releasing as they go along. As an aside to this there was an article I read a while back that said the Wii U was in an irreversible position and what Nintendo now have to try and do is convince their loyal existing customers to fork out money for DLC to keep them going. I'm seeing this happen. If anyone remembers it can they post the link please. We've had it with MK8(paying months in advance which was bizarre) and Hyrule Warriors. You know Smash Bros. is next, GUARANTEED! They might do that with Bayonetta 2 but no complaints as that game is really fleshed out. I'm very sceptical of DLC. If it is free fine but I wouldn't trust every developer or when it was created.

It appears we have an official English name, Fatal Frame: Oracle of the Sodden Raven, whether it gets a Western release, I'd say yes and that text comes from the Japanese stream page. http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv194450157

Highly questionable and debatable.

7 of the Rarest Nintendo Treasures Ever Made

http://nintendoeverything.com/watch-dogs-dedsec-and-vigilante-editions-not-planned-for-wii-u/ Stick a fork in it already. It's beyond farcical at this stage.

Acclaimed developers Two Tribes officially confirmed today that RIVE will be released on the Wii U. The Wii U version will be developed in-house. *cough Ubisoft* It's expected to arrive early in 2015. [TWEET]515151703029850112[/TWEET] [TWEET]515152080932450304[/TWEET] It's described as a metal wrecking, robot hacking shooter. See more info and screenshots at: http://twotribes.com/message/rive/

Super Mario Bros. U is £14.99 instore in Sainbury's. Another shop we don't have here in Ireland.

I don't think Namco should be given a break. Barring TTT2, Nintendo are paying Namco to collaborate on their first party games and I'm sure paying them for Pac-man's inclusion in Smash which is free promotion for their mascot. Nintendo have helped out Namco massively with loads of collaborations, e.g Starfox Assault, arcade hardware but Namco haven't given us much in return from their own releases of their franchises. I'd love another Tales game. What happened with Graces last gen was a disgrace. What about Soul Calibur 2 HD? Again nothing.

What is it with Chelsea and all these cushy draws? Liverpool and Man City get Premiership opposition while Chelsea get the lowest rank team left, League 2 outfit Shrewsbury Town. I'm only surprised they're not at home. Less than a 7% chance but I just knew it would happen. They don't make it half easy for Chelsea. Regarding Manchester Uniteds delightful continued slump, it can in part be attributed to the retirement during the summer of their greatest servant over the years.

That's another thing. Still not a single Wii U screenshot.

More like Dead Dogs! No way am I getting this now until it's under €10. TBH, I was probably going to wait anyway. It'll have a very limited printed run I'd imagine so it could be hard to find. I think that confirmation probably shows what they've done with the extra 6 months. Nothing!

Especially for you, a Pokemon reference. Some would say the Wii U is a..... Sure it's lumbering around for now but little does it know that its days are numbered.
