Well in fairness if you don't get them on the day of release you won't get them at all(unless you want to get fleeced on Ebay). Skylanders and Infinity figures as far as I see don't have this problem. They're wall to wall and in some shops take up more space than games. It may be in part that Nintendo are releasing them in rations to keep demand up but I'd be more inclined to think that with the way Nintendo's profits or lack of more accurately have been for the past few years that they didn't want surplus stock on shelves wasting money.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/05/exclusive_eshop_publishers_are_dropping_releases_in_germany_due_to_low_sales_and_cost_of_usk_rating This is not the first time I've heard that getting a game rated in Europe is a nightmare and expensive. And I may be wrong but I think you've to pay every time you resubmit your game.

Nintendo will announce it 30 minutes before they go on sale. But seriously, it's July 17th. https://www.pixeldynamo.com/news/gaming/2015/05/13/63831/nintendo-europe-announces-next-amiibo-wave-release-dates/

Courtois. Get rid of Sterling now. You don't want players like that around the club. Sure he's got potential but who knows if it'll be realised. Speed is his biggest asset, if he were to lose that through an injury he'd be greatly diminished. His passing isn't great and his shooting is atrocious. He's a greedy little f*ck. He's already lost £1 million by not signing the new contract and if he stays another season he'll lose another £4 million. Well that what was said on the radio yesterday. Most players while they may kiss the badge have no loyalty, only to themselves and are mercenaries.

Bingo cards?

In Legend Mode, is the lower path, the one that starts with Cia, is it meant to be harder? The game really throws you in at the deep end. It took a long while to figure things out like defending bases or defending certain characters within the battlefield. I'm still figuring things out. Should I finish the upper path before doing the baddies. I presume that's what that's all about, their side of the story? I play an hour here or there every second night. Any advice I should know about? I've made a few badges for each character. Should I be using the Smithy?

It depends. If I really enjoy the game then I'll 100% it. If it's too hard, tedious or just not worth the effort I'll leave it. I 100% more often than not.

PIXELS - Official Trailer #2 (HD) - July 24th

Here's an explanation of all the gear ability symbols. Just looking round the internet to see if any site or publication has broken the review embargo. Unfortunately not. I did come across this though: http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/14/games-inbox-splatoon-review-conundrum-assassins-creed-siblings-and-alien-isolation-2-5198186/ I think some reviews are going to take this stance and "simply review what’s there." They're not going to come back in a few months time and say, "Oh remember that game Splatoon? We'll here's our review score." They'll have moved on to the big games of the moment. And some consumers may be doing likewise. Found this too. It made me laugh.

I want 2 things from this game. I want it to be challenging and I want it to be long. Too many of Nintendo's games recently appear to be quite short. @Kaepora_Gaebora I'd like to know how long it is. I realise it's probably to early to know that yet. But if you do know can you tell us if you're allowed or PM me please?

Very good, excellent choices. I hadn't noticed but they do. I would only say Sherbet Land may have been slightly more appropriate than Ice Ice Post but that may just be me.

Ye will never lurn! There is no end and no escape! Mwahahaha!

Horrendous. The theme, not the title. Did I even need to guess who's idea this was? I know, I know, before you reply. :p

I figured it out. It's 8 cities because it's a reference to the 8 bit NES. That's why NES Remix is included in the Nintendo "World" American Championships as well. It's so obvious, how did we miss the double entendre? Brilliant marketing.

Should be renamed Nintendo American Championships. Unless some of these abbreviations stand for CAnada, FinLand, IceLand, NorwaY and Wales. Don't think there's a TuXembourg or a TeXico.

I'm surprised another Gamecube HD Remake hasn't been announced already. The Wind Waker HD sold more than 1 million copies over a year ago and as you say it's easy money. They have to be at work on another. I too hope Twilight Princess isn't being remade for the 3DS. If Nintendo announce TP as a HD Remake I wouldn't be shocked. Plug the gaps, schedule gap and Zelda gap. Coming out at the end of August, pure guess.

No you can't use the gamepad as a controller. When you play Wii games it switches over to Wii mode. It hasn't a clue about the gamepad. The only thing the gamepad can do is view the game and use the sensor bar on it for the other controllers if you selected the option when prompted.
