Completed Never Alone. That's right, completed! Although to be fair it's a very short game that pretty much plays itself. In fact, I think I actually enjoyed it more as a documentary than a game. Either way, that's another one for the diary...

G1: : peace:

I still haven't played any of them yet, so would love for this to be the real deal.

The strangest thing of all is that the Wii U already has the means of doing this, in the form of Wii U Chat. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about it, but that feature allows for voice and even video chat with anyone on your friend list: All Nintendo would need to do is a system update which allows Wii U Chat to run in the background while playing any game. Well they'd need to modify it so you could communicate with more than 1 other person at a time too, but I'm sure it'd be simple enough to do. Anyway, the point is that Nintendo appear to have no problem with communication between friends on the Wii U, otherwise Wii U Chat wouldn't exist. But yeah, that just makes their reluctance to include friend restricted chat during gameplay even more bizarre.

Yeah, thanks for that.

They just modify the existing singleplayer stages slightly, i.e. instead of going through a stage with the standard ink gun, after scanning an amiibo you'd play the same stage again but with a different weapon.

So actually having an entire thread specifically for discussing the voice chat issue in Splatoon isn't enough?

Urge to get Lego Batman 3, rising...

My reckless item bouncing habit continues. Tonight I managed to do this during an online race: Was so close to being hit by the blast radius. Waluigi's right ear was actually inside it at one point. Anyway, when grabbing that clip from MKTV I suddenly started thinking about the 200cc update, and how it doesn't seem too far off the fast forward speed in MKTV:

Made this vid in Share Factory a while back, but forgot to upload it: Gotta love the PS4's vid recording/editing features.

Beat Driveclub today, check out an epic moment from the final event here. :awesome: Great game. It can be a bit flaky at times (especially the online aspects) but it plays well, and obviously looks unreal: Also added Woah Dave! to the list. This was a surprise free game that got added to PS+ the other day (before the rest of the announced titles for April) and it was a right laugh. Brutally difficult though, couldn't stop laughing the first time I played it.

Legend Trophy obtained!! So annoyed about not getting that second star. Anyway, that event certainly lived up to its name, as it produced this legendary moment halfway through the first race: Funny thing is, I actually went on the finish that same race in first place. Here's a montage of different views, courtesy of replay mode: Awesome game. :awesome:

Just with the share button.I copy them to USB though, as I'm guessing additional compression is applied when you upload to twitter.

Got the Pro trophy at last: And have also finally accumulated enough stars to attempt the Legend trophy: The "end" is in sight. Yeah, I checked this out the other day, pretty cool. Also realised there was loads more free DLC that I hadn't downloaded, so picked up all that stuff too. :awesome:

Not played MP10, but nothing wrong with Game & Wario from a gameplay standpoint at all. The only problem with Game & Wario is that it's severely lacking in content, embarrassingly so compared to other games in the WarioWare series (WW:Snapped not included ). And Sticker Star from what I remember was really confusing at times and just weirdly designed in general, otherwise it was pretty good. Relax, Fused King.

Bayonetta 2 is awesome and by far the better game, you should definitely check it out ASAP! :awesome: I think the 3DS version actually has the better single player mode in the form of Smash Run (ironic seeing as it's primarily designed for multiplayer purposes ) but I spent quite a while playing that, unlike Smash Tour on the Wii U version, which I literally played a couple of times and that was it. But yeah, from a single player perspective, both versions aren't really up to much. Multiplayer is definitely where it's at, did you play much local or online against other players? Quality game. Hard to get into, but ultimately very rewarding. And yeah, some of those character descriptions are hilarious.

Another 3DS game added to the list, it's post-Nintendo Direct surprise, BOXBOY! Nice little action puzzler with a lovely retro style, felt as if I was playing a new Game Boy title. Took around 5 hours to beat the standard stages, but a few more worlds open up after the credits, and there are also additional score/time attack stages. I also finished Catherine on PS3 yesterday. Absolutely bonkers game. Wasn't really a huge fan of the gameplay (although it did end up growing on me) but the story and characters were so entertaining that it kept me going. Example of the funnies:

Sneaky April PS+ game Whoa Dave! is currently available for PS4. Playing it now, hilarious stuff.

Hehehe. Good luck finding one. Hmm... Well I suppose there's always a chance they could introduce more costumes based on wave 1 amiibo at a later date, if Villager is anything to go by.

Yeah, I was expecting them to show a bit more of the DLC. Mind you, would much prefer for it to be a surprise, even though that's highly unlikely, as there are bound to be vids showing everything from the DLC a week or so before it goes live, and I'm (stupidly) bound to watch them.

I'm still struggling to win the Pro Trophy, the handling on the super/hyper cars is doing my head in. Can't seem to go more than a few corners at a time without eventually spinning out of control! Wish I could just use a hot hatch for the entire game.

Or the immense annoyance when you later realise that you could've just talked to the giant fucking dragon to proceed, rather than repeatedly get your arse kicked by it. Yeah, although I did ultimately enjoy my first souls game (Dark Souls II) the fact that it took me almost a year to finish, and gave me a pretty tough time throughout means I'm in no hurry to torture myself with Bloodborne. Always good to have some games on the to do list though, and I'll probably check this out at some point in the future.

Yeah, there are so many story driven titles available on the other platforms/PC, and that's where anyone who's into that kind of gaming should be looking for those experiences. That's not to say people shouldn't enjoy and anticipate Nintendo's take on it every so often, but they shouldn't be expecting the same quality or amount of narrative focused games being made by Nintendo or appearing on its consoles. Never been what they're primarily about, hopefully never will.

Yeah, something is definitely up with NSMBU, but I can't quite put my finger on it... I've still not finished it though, and rarely find the motivation to even start playing. Could just be that I'm a bit tired of platformers at the moment, but this is the first time I've ever played through a Mario game with such gigantic gaps in between each session. Weirdest thing of all is that when I do actually play it, I have a great time. Mario Paint high five! : peace:Kind of tempted to get my SNES hooked up and have another go on MP. I wonder what the last thing I worked on was like. Dat 1 save slot. Remember having to use a VCR to record stuff? Those were the days.

Same here, and I enjoy the Nintendo of past and present.
