Primary school? Damn, /nando/ stop making me feel so old! Yeah, I'm thinking you were probably just a bit too young to get into it. But then again... Anyway, I wouldn't let that hold you back from getting this game. Sure it shares a lot of content from ALttP, but it's very much its own game, and a bloody good one from what I've played of it so far. That sucks man, mine was from ShopTo though.Are TheGameCollection also good for receiving games early then?

Wow... This game has almost had me in tears already! As soon as the Triforce started rotating into view with that mesmerizing jingle, it was suddenly 1992 and I was 12 years old all over again. Seriously, anyone that played ALttP back in the day is going to instantly fall in love with ALBW. All of the sights and sounds from the SNES classic are present and correct. It's absolutely magical. And although the new character artwork is a bit iffy (see Link in my sig ) luckily they totally nailed the art style that's used in-game. It's just a perfect adaptation of the 2D sprite based world and characters from ALttP in to 3D. Also, step aside SM3DL, we have a new best S3D game on the 3DS! Looks amazing and I get a feeling it's going to become an integral part of solving puzzles and navigating certain areas in the dungeons too.

My copy just arrived!

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh! Why is there suddenly so much activity in the SM3DW thread?! What's going on? *hovers pointer over thread title* No! Just 9 more days... Must... resist...

You should definitely give the demo of W101 a try. Do not try to "get" that game from reviews or videos, it's one of those games that has to be played to be properly understood. Great game though, if you can get into it.

Really?! You bought a Wii U this year just to play those 4 titles?No interest in Nintendo Land, ZombiU, Monster Hunter, The Wonderful 101 or Super Mario 3D World?! Mind you I can't exactly talk, I bought a PS3 just to play GTA V. I'm just surprised that someone would buy a Wii U at the moment, without being into most of its best games.

:eek: Seriously, Dcubed... snap out of it.

Nice one, S.C.G. And yeah, you can start using Wii Fit U right away and then link the Fit Meter any time within the 30 day trial. By the way, don't forget to join the N-E Community: 8034-1592-9901 : peace:

Very good sign. Band Bros. DX/Jam with the Band was awesome, so I really hope this does get a European release at some point.

To say that I'm well and truly on the hype train for Super Mario 3D World would be a serious understatement, I am so excited for that game it's unreal! I'm also still really enjoying KORG M01D, so I decided to combine the two, and had a go at reproducing the Super Mario 3D World theme. It's a bit messy/out of tune in places, but not bad considering I have no musical expertise and am just doing it by ear from the original E3 trailer, which is tricky as it's covered in sound effects. Anyway, here's how it ended up: Would have posted it in the 3D World thread, but I'm avoiding that place completely until I get the game. If someone else wants to drop it in there then feel free. I also had to remix it into a dance track afterwards, couldn't resist. And here's that version: Meow! : peace:

Awesome. Good to know. I probably would have beat it by now, if it weren't for KORG M01D!

More or less. It's nothing special, put it that way. Not sure if it's worth the asking price either, but like I said, got to see what's available post-game before passing judgement there.

I wouldn't say that. It's a fantastic game and still the most active online title for the 3DS.

Yeah, it can be pretty tough, almost old school Mega Man difficulty! Perhaps not, but definitely tougher than your average modern game. The second boss was loads easier than the first though, which is odd. I'm almost at the end of the 3rd (and presumably last) set of stages now, so it doesn't seem like there's much content in JRII. But there's an extra mode that unlocks with collection all of the photos, and hopefully something else for beating all of the stages... Time will tell.

How has there only been a single mention of Mario Kart 7?! I'll correct that now: Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Mario Kart 7 Sound advice all-round otherwise I'd say. Definitely agree with avoiding Sticker Star. The only problem with Project X Zone, is it becomes very repetitive very quickly. It's also waaaaaaay too long, I'm still playing through my copy that I started back at the beginning of July!

What did you post, @dazzybee?

Anyone know what the update for this was all about? Installed it earlier, but I don't notice anything new/different.

*starts playing Jett Rocket II* ... Why is the game giving out so many extra lives? ... *arrives at first boss* Oh. Anyone else pick this up?

So I was looking away from the screen during the Mario 3D World bit... Unfortunately I could still hear it. :o :o Oh My God! @/nando/, I take it that's what you were referring to in the PM you sent me? I managed (somehow) to resist looking at the TV, so I still don't know what's going on gameplay-wise there, but oh man, my hype for SM3DW has just gone off the chart!!!!

Let's see...*checks back through thread* My first visit from Gracie was on the 20th of August, and the last visit was on September 14th. I remember thinking it was taking ages to get the 4 visits/checks from her, but by the looks of things I was actually quite lucky.

AC Snowmen! I look forward to dropping the first snowball in the river by accident.

I hear ya, /nando/. I got a bit addicted to the trampoline game myself when trying to reach 1000m. And even though it's a game that isn't exactly much of a workout (like many of the balance games really) if you play it enough in a short space of time, you definitely start to feel it. By the way, the timing for extending your legs on that game is really important. You need to extend a few seconds after touching down, but if you squat for too long your Mii will just bounce of the trampoline by itself and you wont get very much height at all. You can also listen out for the sound the trampoline makes after landing, once you start to hear a stretching sound it means your very close to auto-bouncing (that's what I'm calling it :p) so you need to extend at that point. Anyway, the only exercise I really struggle with in Wii Fit is the Press-up & Side Stand. My upper body strength is clearly in need of a lot of work, because I seriously feel like Mr. Burns whenever I do that exercise. So yeah, my goal is to get to a point where I can do those a bit more comfortably. Classic. Also, is that a Wii Speak I see? What's that still doing as part of your setup?!

Yeah, I'd like to know if that's gonna happen too, as I'm currently holding off getting it on PS3. Dat slap bass...

Nope. The problem is that Nintendo went out of their way to suggest that online was the defining feature with this, it's was always presented as the main focus of Wii Sports Club. Things like the video of Iwata playing online, and a commercial with Andre Agassi that was exclusively about the online, etc... From the moment Wii Sports Club was revealed it was always about the online. That's why they needed to go all out with that aspect of the game, but they didn't, and instead went completely backwards, omitting features which should be standard, and that they've already included in other games. That's gotta be a sarcastic post, surely? Or perhaps they're just living up to their username.
