Wii

That's savage. We don't get any deals like that here unfortunately. I was just thinking compared to the Wii launch there's no GAME, HMV and Tesco don't even care about the Wii U. We've nothing compared to ye Brits. I think there's just 4 shops selling it. Gamestop, Smyths, Harvey Norman, no wait make that 3? IAm I missing something? That's it. Ye Brits have it lucky. Never get deals like that or anything ckose and prices marked up compared to UK store equivalent. Cry me a river

Nice to see Wigan win. I don't think even City fans would begrudge them and well they were deserved winners.

Thanks. I sent you a PM earlier.

Thank you.

I'll put this request out again. Anybody fancy buying Sonic Racing Transformed from HMV for £7.99 and posting it to me please? I'll reimburse you the cost of the game and postage.

@dazzybee @welsh_gamer Were either of you able to pick me up a copy of Sonic?

Did anyone have any luck picking up Sonic Racing Transformed?

Rayman Legends: Eye of the Tiger Trailer Rising up to the challenge of his rival

I'm the exact same. I was expecting to be rewarded with 50 points for my first diamond cup yet I was only given a gold. A glitch?

Strange, just checked the Irish scores and I seen a few people pop in and out. It's totally random and fairly hit and miss.

I know but I don't see them. When I check the scores from my country it shows nothing ever. I know what you mean, when I got the diamond cup I was happy, job done. There were people on about 8 seconds which is just insane.

Yes it's easy to see me, I'm the only person from Ireland playing this game. That's really sad and a bad reflection of the Wii U here. Well done. I wasn't sure what it was called. I thought it was platinum. It only says what it is when you get the cup otherwise it's just shows pictures in the gallery.

I got gold on yesterdays challenge and got my first platinum cup on todays challenge. I was in the top 10 for a while but have been pushed down. Did it in around 9.9 seconds. People should try it out as a platinum cup is worth 50 points, 5 times the value of a gold cup and it's a quick challenge. I've got awesomeness level 2 which unlocks the second daily challenge. There's many people already on awesomeness level 5. Fair play to them. That must take some skill.

Actually I'll take you up on that offer. Just in case Welsh can't pick up the game. Thanks. I still can't believe it's £8.

I'm 9 points away from awesomeness level 2. If I get gold on todays challenge I'll make it. Can only manage silver so far and I thought I did it near flawlessly.

Today's challenge was fine but throw drink into the equation and it was pure frustration. I know I could have done better, I got a booze medal. Sorry I meant bronze medal.

No, I think it's a good game. @dazzybee Thank you for your offer but Welsh Gamer has offered to pick it up so I'll see how that goes. Much appreciated though.

Anybody fancy buying it and posting it to me please? I'll reimburse you the cost of the game and postage.

They said they will and hopefully they do.

Nobody's talking about the Rayman app? What's wrong with ye people? I think it's great. Can only manage silver on the challenges. I got 23 seconds on yesterdays daily challenge and that still wasn't worth a gold, what the hell?

I don't care about Microsoft and Sony. They're the devils spawn and I hope they die. My only concern is for Nintendo. Just because their conferences have been $h!T doesn't excuse Nintendo for fecking up their E3. Why can't we have both, E3 and Nintendo Direct? Speaking of which where's our 3rd party Nintendo Direct? Someone needs to B!T€H slap Nintendo.

That's because they've made a balls of them for the last few years. I still remember a time when they were good like the Twilight Princess reveal and the crowd excited reaction. Epic. They don't have to be $H!T, you know. It's the 1 time of year that shows the faces behind the games and brings all the developers together giving an opportunity for deals to be struck. It also garners the full attention of the gaming media and even mainstream media. Should the Cannes Film Festival be scrapped or different festivals and conferences in other mediums? We can have our cake and eat it too. If it's such a good idea, why did it take so long to do and why aren't Microsoft and Sony doing likewise? Nintendo hate conferences. Spaceworld? Cancelled. GDC, they barely show up and others they totally ignore.

Wow. That's a steal. Pity all the HMV stores in Ireland are closed. I'll have to check if they post. Edit: So their website is in as much bits as they are. Anybody fancy buying it and posting it to me please? I'll reimburse you the cost of the game and postage.

I'd also add to my earlier point that games take a lot longer to develop now than they did years ago.

The costs of game development is a lot higher than it was 20 years ago. And in the case of the Wii U, Nintendo have admitted they're struggling to make the leap into HD graphics. That's partly why they're reaching out to 3rd parties for help. It's a sad indictment that they're 7 years behind the curve.
