Oh God, I'd forgotten about that. Oh well, at least once MK8 is out (and the N-E League is in full swing) I'll never really notice any future droughts on Wii U. Indeed. I've been very much enjoying that privilege with the PS3 recently, loads of games for me to choose from, at incredibly cheap prices! Obviously anyone that buys a Wii U now will be fine (like you mentioned earlier) all of the games released thus far instantly at their disposal and in many cases a lot cheaper than they were at launch, plus all the upcoming stuff. It's those of us that were there from day 1 that are suffering the drought. I'd like to think that I'll never buy another game console at launch again, but I just know that when Nintendo release a new system, I'll fall into the trap all over again.

Fair play, but given the situation I still think they'd be better off putting a bit more focus on smaller eShop titles. I mean there's going to be a 3 month gap (not quite, but close enough) between Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze! That is insane. You don't need to be "game thirsty" to realise that is way too big of a gap. Obviously wouldn't be as much of an issue if there was substantial 3rd party software available, but there isn't, and there hasn't been for a long time now. Nintendo need to ensure that they can fully support their hardware by themselves, otherwise it's just going to be a ongoing problem that'll really hurt them in the long run as people will start to look elsewhere for their gaming needs.

Same here, PS3 and PC. It's just so disappointing that Nintendo still allows these kind of droughts to happen. Seriously, with the amount of manpower and expertise at their disposal, this should never be an issue. They should be able to literally fart out little games for the eShop, anything to help fill the gaps between major titles. If indie devs can put together games in a relatively short space of time, with like a handful of people working on something, how the hell can Nintendo, a company with thousands of staff, not do the same?

Wow, that does look good. Please tell me this game will allow custom soundtracks...

Yeah, I listened to it yesterday, great stuff. Cheers for the heads up though. You really should!

I added it to the release dates thread. Man, the current situation on 3DS/Wii U is diabolical. Roll on Feb 21st.

Music from the soundtrack CD that they got in Japan has now appeared on .Nintendo, you need to get that on the European Stars Catalogue, pronto! Credits music in high quality: So good. :love:

That's understandable, I don't think it's possible to know what this game is really about. This might help though:

Just spotted this on HotDeals: Wii u party with Remote - £14.99 instore @ Sainsbury's

Man, I just really hope they don't mess with it too much. From what I've seen of the game online, the vibe/humour is fantastic. It'd be terrible if they cut that, it's pretty much the main feature of the game! Also, as I posted in here ages ago, they had the voice synthesis system working with English even in the DS game!:

OH MY GOD!!!! :bouncy: That has absolutely made my day. I'll tell you what to scrap, Nintendo... NOTHING!!!! Please Please Please don't mangle this game! Just translate it, and get it released over here. Even the stuff that makes no sense at all outside of Japan (or even in Japan ), that's what we want!! I'm really happy this is coming out, but that quote has definitely got me worried.

This. Just bring back the decent Konami in general:

Game & Wario needs it, also makes one of the best uses of the GamePad in the form of Gamer. Then of course there's the eShop stuff that needs it, Wii Sports Club Golf (how'd you forget that one, Mokong?! ), Art Academy, Wii Street U, Panorama View, etc... not that anyone cares.

Yeah, I can't see them doing DLC for Mario Kart 8, but you never know. Hopefully then don't though, because I'd have to buy absolutely everything if they did.

Yeah, this: Even the box art cracks me up.

Let's hope so. True, doesn't make it any less disappointing though. I think the next ND is going to be really important to Nintendo, not to mention incredibly interesting for us. That's why I just can't wait to see what they've got/not got in store.

Not really interested in DS VC, no. I've got 63 DS games in total sitting in a cupboard (so yeah, all the best DS games and then some ) if I want to play one again I'll just grab the game card and stick it in my DS/3DS. BUT... If Nintendo were to do a Hanabi Festival style thing and translate Tingle's Balloon Trip and Tomodachi Collection I would definitely buy both of those. :wink: The only 2 DS games that I never imported, due to the text heavy nature of both.

I cannot frickin' believe that there's no ND going down this week. What in the hell, Nintendo?

It's pretty much done, will PM you later on.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 (PS3) Such a classic. I've played it so many times (on DC and PS2), but when I spotted it on the PS Store the other day I just had to get it. Really nice playing it in "HD" and widescreen, altough the cut-scenes haven't been upgraded (4:3 and highly compressed) so they're showing their age now. But yeah, along with the original SC5, one of my favourite games of all time. It's short but oh so sweet. Best moments for me are still the Dueling Guitar Battle against Pudding/Padding : And the first section of Report 5: Love it. It's a shame we'll likely never see a SC5 Part 3. After Burner Climax (PS3) Got this after @Dcubed recommended it and I checked out a vid of the gameplay. Initial playthrough of this game produced this reaction: Insanely fast! Cool game, but I think it might be a bit overpriced for what it is. Although I'm not exactly sure how much overall content there is yet, I got it last night and finished it several times plus obtained every trophy (bar one) in a under an hour! Very much just the arcade game plonked on PSN by the looks of it.

So I'm looking to get a new PC soon and I'm wondering what's the best way to transfer over my games on Steam. Is there a way to easily backup and then restore game data, or do you need to re-download your library again on a different PC? I've tried researching this, but can't seem to find a clear answer.

I just hope this new focus on the GamePad brings about some software that finally enables creativity and customisation in a meaningful way. Not only would it be great for a lot of Wii U owners, but also highly beneficial for Nintendo too. For example, imagine an enhanced version of WarioWare D.I.Y. on Wii U. Would make so much more sense than Game & Wario it's unreal. I mean there's a lack of content on Wii U, right? 3rd party devs are super reluctant to support it and Nintendo themselves are struggling in that regard too. So if they give the players tools to create content, that instantly gives Nintendo a bit of breathing space. Those that enjoy creating can do so, and those that enjoy playing can play the stuff the Wii U community has created. It's win-win. Would also be a much better use of online than anything Nintendo currently have going on with the system. If it took off and had lots of people creating games it'd be something that sells well over a long period of time too, as people would always have new stuff to check out. I've been playing LittleBigPlannet on PS3 recently, and the online level sharing aspect is still really active on there. And we're talking about a game that's over 5 years old now, on obsolete hardware! So yeah, I really want to see Nintendo start to embrace user created content with Wii U. It just makes perfect sense.

Interesting idea, if that were to happen they should definitely avoid live action... big style. I've always thought that StarFox would make an awesome film or tv series. Imagine if it was done with puppets a la Thunderbirds/Team America and in keeping with this style: Could be great I reckon. Hell yeah! :awesome: Hell no. Platinum for StafFox all the way.

Yeah, I'd be absolutely flabbergasted if Nintendo don't have other games (especially eShop wise) ready by now. I mean if they don't, what the hell have they been doing...

But that means I'll need to buy a smartphone. There is no way it'll just be DKTF in Feb and then MK8 in May. There must be some eShop stuff or even another retail game coming out in that time... right? RIGHT?!
