This.If it ain't for Wii U (whatever it is) then Nintendo have completely lost the plot. Bloody hell Serebii, get your priorities right. BTW, have you got a link to the NicoNico stream?

I take it that's what you were playing on when I joined you earlier, 'cos those games were mental! Your Mii and VR looked a little different to me though: ...have you made another Mii/profile for frantic sessions?

I played it more on C64, but yeah... Still think the C64 version sounds the best. SID Chip 4eva!

Quality. That hardcore bass kick is so out of place but it somehow works.

Yep, and the hole-in-one. :awesome: I've done the odd daily tournament. Not played that much online though, there's just too much to do offline. Will hopefully get into the online side a bit more at some point. Nice one. I think the platinum on this is pretty much out of the question for me. Still haven't even got all of the stars, and only about 5 or 6 crowns so far. Even easy mode is rock hard on some of them.

Sorry for the gargantuan bump, but I just had to share this (@Cookyman might be interested ): Finally got the albatross trophy! What a fucking fluke. This game though... so good. Still playing on a regular basis, such a ridiculous amount of content! Also, I had no idea there was playable cat DLC until recently! Snapped that up last night. Someone be sure to let me know if a PS4 version of Everybody's Golf gets announced.

Nothing other than loads of people expecting there to be a Direct in August.

So... Nintendo Direct next week then? I'm guessing Wednesday to remind people about the MK8 update, and hopefully announce the amiibo plans/DLC.

Or is it? Mwahahahahahaaaa!! Yeah, I heard this is nothing to do with the announcement next week, figured this was still the best thread to post it in though... Whatever the hell it is.

? ...

On the subject of Hotline Miami, when is the sequel due? Looking forward to messing around with the level editor.

In more ways than one. You have no direct control of the players in Pocket Football Club, so scoring a goal actually is completely random. *EDIT* Ah! Seems like it's not actually using the main game, but a penalty shootout thingy. Still, weird promotion.

I had no choice but to play through most of Hotline Miami with a controller, as some weird glitch prevented me from being able to go back to keyboard & mouse. It still plays pretty well with a controller though, increases the challenge slightly too. Not that the game needs it.

The fact that both of you agree on this is incredibly reassuring. I'd hate for the industry to go all-digital. Really get the feeling it is, but I'll be very happy to be wrong. I'm not getting it.

Interesting points. I wasn't thinking about it from a hardware perspective to be honest. But seeing how bad the situation at retail has become, and looking at how the industry is changing (the shift towards digital) it gives me the impression that hardware could actually be the only thing being sold at retailers in the future. Do you think Gen 9 hardware will even have the option to utilise physical media? I have my doubts. That's right, 4 quid. Absolutely insane. Nope. Probably wont be getting anything on the next one either. Would have picked up Kirby Triple Deluxe, but apparently it's not eligible for a discount in a sale based on Kirby.

Hahaha! That is brilliant. Congratulations, M_rock!

I reckon, yeah.Especially digital downloads of retail titles, they should definitely be cheaper than physical versions. I mean there's no packaging/media, we pretty much have to provide our own storage space for the download, you're losing the ability to sell the game in the future, Nintendo's safeguards for digital content aren't exactly great, etc... I think if a game has an RRP of £40 it should be at least £30 in the eShop, not £50+ which has often been the case. Nintendo's presence at retail is shot to shit at this point, so they shouldn't be concerned with undercutting retailers now.

Unfortunately not, as that would be slightly less annoying. Anyway, that's all I'm saying... Shouldn't be too long before we find out though.

Just speculation on my part (based on some information that I'm not at liberty to divulge ) but it looks like Nintendo may have gone and done that incredibly annoying thing again where they release two high profile games on the same day... Hopefully not, but we shall see. Man, I wish the next Nintendo Direct would hurry up already.

Think you might be right. TVii is definitely not happening. Not that I care. Would be nice if they removed the bloody icon though.

Probably not. And I'd really like to know what the hell is going on with Flipnote Studio 3D.

Well, at least you outdid @Serebii in the prediction battle this time. Got a feeling he's going to win the Smash Bros. one though.

So where's this goddamn Nintendo Direct at? Or maybe it's just gonna be the Pokémon thingy next week and that's it.
