  1. Why bother? Wii Sports was too busy printing money and Nintendo were too busy counting it. I believe this was about the time that Nintendo became lazy and even more complacent. They launched basically a glorified demo as you said on a console that was essentially a Gamecube 1.2 that made a sizeable profit right off the bat. It was easy money for little effort, Nintendo couldn't believe their luck and have been looking to repeat this success for little effort with a lot of their software since.
  2. At least the GBA VC games have multiplayer.......oh...right...
  3. Please give us the justification for charging more in comparison to other parts of the world? It's digital, these games are coming from central servers. It was the same last gen, we got inferior VC games with borders, inferior refresh rates and for those privileges we got charged extra. It's not on, it shouldn't happen in this day and age. The prices aren't hugely excessive but I don't think in this day and age any of these should be more than €5 if they want to compete and make them impulse buys.
  4. How disgraceful am I that I still haven't finished this? It's certainly not because of a lack of hours, severe case of OCD. Barring a couple of hours last August, it's over 1 1/2 years since I've played this. I blocked out characters to avoid spoilers.
  5. Yes let me repeat Life's a B1tch! Wii U Console:Premium Pk+Legend of Zelda:Windwaker - £149.99 Edit: Meh, scratch that. I don't see any in any store I've checked. It was the same in Ireland. Only 1 store had it and it was literally on the other side of the country.
  6. The prices are above impulse buy. I've always hated how Europe gets screwed, swapping $ for € is not right. Would a bank do that for you? Not a chance. I'm not paying €8 for Super Mario Kart. I have my SNES and cartridges if I want to play these. Not to mention they're 20 years old. It's exploitative and it's not good enough. If I was so inclined I could download any of these for free. See this is not fair. $8 is €5.80. The same with $7, that's about €5. What's their excuse? Not that they'll ever answer that. None of these games should be more than €5. 10 and 20 year old games respectively. Wth?
  7. Yes as expected City crushed United without even getting out of second gear but it could have been worse. Both Welbeck and Fellaini should've received red cards. Everybody's glossed over this. It wasn't a dirty game but they were red card offences. Can't wait for the Bayern matches. Disappointed in Arsenal but they do have a lot of key injuries. This always seems to happen to them. Everton could potentially get 4th now but as impressive as they've been, I don't think it will happen unfortunately.
  8. That's a very sweeping statement and simply not true. After motion controls I'll never play a dual analogue FPS ever again. It's simply archaic. The Wii remote was a godsend. There's no harm in shaking things up a bit as Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I'd give VR a go. Remember that person's experiments with switching the sensor bar with the Wii remote a number of years ago? That had serious potential.
  9. 3 weeks? I think not. It was more like a week and was very sporadic. Anyone heard the rumour of a Wii U price cut coming at the end of April? I think it would be a good idea ahead of Mario Kart 8's release.
  10. Absolutely hilarious, had me in stitches. That sums up Dazzybee anytime he talks about Spurs.
  11. Hoping for a Barca win. Lose and the league is as good as over for them.
  12. I read a stat that David Moyes managed well over 500 games at Everton and won 0 trophies. That's what attracted Manchester United. He's consistent.
  13. To rub things in I wanted to buy Fernandihno but was 0.1 short and bought OX instead. He's scored Citys 4th and has a clean sheet. How's everyone else doing in Fantasy Football?
  14. Put that nail gun down Dazzy!
  15. I just transferred Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into my Fantasy Football team this morning. He qualifies for 2 games in this gameweek and it was more with a view for the next home game against Swansea. He'll get 0 points from this game and he'll be suspended for the next 3. What a brilliant manager I am. Edit: And I took a hit of -4 before anything started because I transferred Coleman in as well.
  16. And Arsenal weren't down to 10 men. Game over again. Moaninho will be unbearable after this rout.
  17. Part 2 Me: "Well, because it requires you to think and use strategy. It's also colourful, vibrant and different. Halo fan: "I like guns and things that go boom". Me: "What are you playing at the moment?" Halo fan: "Halo". Me: "What's that?" Halo fan: "Well, you go around mindlessly shooting things and is like every other FPS before it. Me: (baffled) "How is that fun?"
  18. I haven't opened any of them. I do have a copy of Xenoblade with unused VIP points but I still haven't finished the game. I'm right near the end, a point where there's no turning back. I left it there, keep meaning to go back to it but I don't want it to end. I'm kind of thinking I'll be lost when I ever do restart.
  19. Chelsea, United and Bayern were the last 3 balls left. I was hoping Man United would get PSG. PSG aren't anything special, they'd have enough for United but not sure about Chelsea. Still I'm going to enjoy United hopefully getting embarrassed 10-0 overall. Real got the handiest draw. Ronaldo will break Messi's record now. They've had so many walkover matches.
  20. They did the same for 3D World. Lame.
  21. Just a quick reminder, the Champions League draw takes place in about 15 minutes at 11 a.m. That's some draw. Manchester United are officially out. They drew Bayern Munich. QUARTER-FINALS-1/2 AND 8/9 APRIL QF 1 Barcelona(ESP) v Atlético Madrid(ESP) QF 2 Real Madrid(ESP) v Borussia Dortmund(GER) QF 3 Paris SG(FRA) v Chelsea(ENG) QF 4 Man. United(ENG) v Bayern Munich(GER)
  22. Have to agree. I could see another one before Wii U is finished. The groundwork and assets are already there and there's still a lot of potential like more breeds of Pikmin and adding online, make it longer next time and maybe dual gamepad support. That and a 4th should be far quicker to develop.
  23. Thank you. I did make an effort and if and/or when I do sell the other 2 I'd like to cover my costs for the 4 and absolutely, any profits I made would be put towards buying more games. If you look at Ebay it's already had an affect of reducing its price which I said before is a good thing. You wouldn't have been able to buy any from Ireland. I did have the game but not the Collectors Edition : peace:
  24. You know what, you're right. I can't remember the last time I got a bargain. I wanted this Collectors Edition since launch but nowhere sold it. So when it came up I tried to make the most of it. I had to do a lot of travelling for these and put a bit of effort into getting these and if I really wanted probably could have bought double. It just worked out that both stores had 2 copies left each. Even yesterday there were still a couple to be bought in a few stores if people really wanted them. In Ireland alone there was at least 100 for sale. Sure even Argos quickly put up the price on this when it's meant to be on sale after they noticed it's popularity. Haven't seen them do that with Kirby's Epic Yarn or Skyward Sword.
