Yeah, long playtimes + cramped control layout/small screen = bad times.Although your "claws" should've been better prepared from Monster Hunting on PSP.

The whole way through that Monster Hunter segment in the Direct I was like "now reveal the Wii U version!" needless to say, I was left disappointed. Really don't think I can face another MH game on a handheld though.

Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me (quite possible ) Kirby's expression is identical in that new amiibo to the Smash Bros. version.

I don't mind them, when they work. Actually think Wii Motion Plus made gyro controls worse though. Skyward Sword was a goddamn nightmare to play through because of all the re-calibration I had to do, was a similar story with tennis on Wii Sports Club. And before anyone says "ooh dodgy Wii Remote" no, just no. Tested both games with multiple remotes, they all did the same thing. Meanwhile, I found games that just used the standard Wii Remote worked much better. The original tennis on Wii Sports, MK Wii (I had 100% Wii Wheel usage on that! ), Kororinpa, Wii Music, etc... Dabbled with the motion controls in Splatoon, but always found myself having to reset the neutral position of the camera when using them, so just ended up playing with the twin stick setup.

*dribbles uncontrollably* Man, that would've been perfection if they left the labels off the face buttons, or at least changed them to match the SNES/Famicom font. But yeah, even this can't tempt me to buy a N3DS... I think... I hope.

Thought it was a pretty good direct overall, with the highlights for me being the new SMM content and a Euro release of Rhythm Tengoku 3DS. Shibata's Yo-Kai Watch dance was entertaining too. SNES VC on 3DS would've been a megaton IF it included the original hardware, and the games were cross-buy (or at least discounted) if you already purchased them before. As it stands... meh.

Be a shame if that is the case.Doesn't really look like my kind of thing gameplay-wise, but the presentation is indeed glorious. Also, does anyone else see a Chocobo in that logo?

This actually looks more interesting to me than SF Zero. I'm interested in seeing just how intricate the stage creation aspect is, get a feeling it's gonna be pretty basic though.

Yeah, Triple Deluxe was amazing, and this looks very promising also. Not sure about the new amiibo though, but then I don't really like this idea of characters that have already got amiibo figures being released again just in a slightly different pose. I've already got a Kirby amiibo, I don't want a second one just because he's got a new hat warp star. I'm not Smithers.

Duuuuuuude. Actually, I'm not as hyped for this as I once was, seeing as it's only 30 new stages. Will be awesome for those that haven't played any of the previous games through.

Loving the additions this is getting next week. [tweet]705516120493662209[/tweet] The new coins in particular, are the kind of thing I really wanted them to add. BTW, I made a new course on this recently (first one in a loooong time) and uploaded it last night just before the Direct: Apologies for the terrible name You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website.

The random track would be Rainbow Road again, ey? Anyway, that was absolutely bonkers. Can't believe I won a GP.

Well, seeing as I intentionally ignored the story and have no desire to play any of the other games in the series, methinks not.

Nope, this was the very first Persona game I played. That's weird.I bought the full version on iOS a while back (when it was on offer) with no problem.

Gonna post this week's theme in a bit... Prepare yourselves. *EDIT* OK, here it is: Yeah, I redesigned the theme image again.

Finished Horizon Chase. Best 79p I've spent on a game since the good old days of the C64. If you're a fan of Out Run or old school racing games in general, definitely check it out!: A PS4 version is apparently in the works, would be great if they added online multiplayer. And after finally giving up on Xenoblade Chronicles X, I decided to get into PS+ freebie, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. This game confused the hell out of me at first, but I stuck with it and ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I also love how the online lobby is done, with a little arcade you can walk about in. It doesn't seem to be too busy though, just like the real-life arcade scene.

So I made it to level 30, go to accept the next story mission and... "requirements not met". Turns out I also needed to do another affinity quest too. *sigh* So I begin looking for this affinity quest, and when I finally find it and attempt to start it... "requirements not met". Not enough affinity with a certain NPC apparently. Are you kidding me!? *closes software* *ejects disc* *powers off Wii U* Yeah, pretty sure I'm done with this game now. It's a shame, as I really wanted to try out the flying Skells and see how the story unfolded. But guess I'll just watch the remaining cutscenes on YouTube to save myself from the additional aggravation of grinding levels (and affinity ) and just generally struggling against the bizarre mechanics of this game. Note to self: DO NOT BUY ANYMORE GAMES LIKE THIS!

Yeah, I know. Very strange indeed.

Huh? That's wasn't on tonight's menu.

Damn. That's a shame about the connection issues in group 2.

It used to be based on position in the league table, not sure if that's still the case though. Anyway, it looks like we will need 2 groups this week, but it'd be good if we could get a few more people in that case. @Glen\-i? A little birdie tells me he might be interested in returning to the league.

How many extra players need to sign up before you go with 2 groups? Personally I don't think we should do a second one unless there are 16 players in total.

Currently £26 on amazon. It's been around the 20 quid mark at a few places recently though (although obviously not for long ) so yeah, now is a great time to buy.
