I really missed that there was no Mario golf on the Wii, a missed opportunity there, hopefully this will be good enough to satisfy my Mario Golf need. I remember playing Toadstool Tour (I'm sure that was the GC one) loads. It was a great game to just put on, sit back and play a few rounds of golf.

Glad to finally see a release date. I think the handhelds are where this game belongs due to it's dip in nature. I loved WW and remember playing that loads, especially with friends over WiFi. LGttC was OK, it just didn't hold me for as long. I'll be getting the retail version, just because I want the physical copy. Can't wait for this. Oh and I'm a 33 year old male that's been playing AC games for a little under 10 years, and do still find them some of the most relaxing and fun games I have played.

I decided to order the ? block. Had some stars expiring and thought it would be a nice thing to have. So I ordered it at 12:45(ish) on Thursday 7th and it arrived this morning (11th). Super quick delivery.

I think if Taker was to have one last WrestleMania match it would have to be against John Cena. He is the only real person left that anyone would think could end the streak. I wonder if this set up would work for WM 30. With Cena looking to win the title at this years WM, hold it all year, then we could have a Title vs Streak match at WM 30?

I've read a few reports that he may miss WrestleMania. From PWTorch's App, there is a quite from Paul Bearer that says he is happy where he is in his life, with a new daughter, just built a new home, and is enjoying life with his family. He may wrestle again, he may not. Loving the Rock at the moment too, I'm still hoping that Punk is thrown into the WrestleMania mix with Cena and Rock just to give us something different this year. it would tie up the whole stories of them three nicely.

When you press the home button, it 'saves' two pictures that you can use. One being the image on screen, the other the image on the gamepad (I believe that is how it is). So, press the home button when you want to post an image to Miiverse, go to where you can post and you should see a photo icon just to the right of the post screen. Select the image and post from there.

Nope for the first part. No backup power item. As for the second. After clearing levels, failing a level multiple times, and some other instances, the game asks if you want to post to Miiverse. This way, your post has the level from which you posted it. You can also just press the home button, go to Miiverse and post from there. I just beat Bowser earlier on. Fantastic game, I love it. Though I did find the final battle to be quite easy. Did it in one go. Still bloody brilliant though. Now I have all the star coins and other special bits to get.

I think it was WWE No Mercy for the N64. The first run of copies had a major glitch that erased your save whenever you turned the game off. You could get the game replaced, but the new ones had blood taken out.

I just completed the demo. It may have taken me 5 attempts, but it took me a while to get to grips with the controls. I have to say I'm still not 100% sure if I'd buy it. From the demo, I think I'd get a bit frustrated (that invisible zombie in the basement). I managed in the end using the shove-with-bat-then-hit method, but for a while it just kept getting the better of me. But overall I did like it. Had one moment where it gave me a jolt. Not a full on scare/jump, but made me jolt back. I think I'd definitely pick it up cheap. For now, I have 28 more uses out of the demo.

Correct. I was on their 10MB service for ages with just a normal modem, then when upgrading to the 50MB service, I had to get a Superhub.

Has anyone else 'won' the purple button prize from the Pachinko tower game? When I say purple button prize, I mean it's one of the buttons that is around the base of the tower that does something to the NintendoLand plaza. I think it is my favourite. Also just beat all the advanced stages in Metroid today. I may be able to Master them, but it will take some doing on some of them.

Happy New Year everyone.

You don't have to do rhythmic taps, you can easily just take on step at a time. I'm not sure, but I don't even think you need to be tilting that much at all. The slope pretty much will get you moving when you tap R. I'm actually finding course two easier, but that maybe because I'm just trying to rush through the first so much that I crash more. The second 'be brave' jump/fall is a little more tricky, I do just let it get right to the edge and let it fall off, then a little flick to straighten up before landing. I got all the way to the final lift on course 4 the other day, but just could land right without either falling off the end or back through the gap trying to correct myself.

It seems to be from the Wii U game to me. It takes place on Acorn Plains 3 like the rest of the videos.

I just watched the advanced 1up video. Insane how the use Yoshi to 'eat' Luigi all through the level and spitting him out just to jump on the enemies. Thus gaining 23 1ups in the level.

Went to see this and was absolutely amazed with it. I saw the 3D 48fps version and loved it. Everything is so clear, crisp and smooth. Yes, there are a few moments where you can clearly see that there are visual effects shots but other than that it just looks beautiful. Gollum looked amazing, I know he looked great by the Return of the King, but I'm sure they have outdone themselves. The Goblin King, same, the trolls, all looked amazing. I had gone with a friend that I know, didn't know about the whole 48fps thing. I just asked them if they were OK with 3D and booked the 48fps time. Not once did they say that anything looked bad or out of place because of the 48fps. I wonder if it just boils down to the fact that we know about it and are looking for it. Though saying that, as I said, there are some parts that are clearly visual effects and seem to stick out. I can't wait now for the next part. Just seeing the last scene

Whoa, some of those jumps look like they shouldn't be able to be done. I don't even think I've gotten half way though the second stage yet. I have been using that 'press Y' trick (though not so much a trick) that if you are about to crash, press it and you just go back to the last check point without loosing a life.

Sorry for the bump, I was wondering if anyone else picked this up? I managed to pick this up for the bargain price of £25 and am loving it. Quite possibly the best of the LEGO based film games. I've played through the first two films and will start on the final one when I have time to go through in one sitting. The voice acting in the cut scenes really does work well to this game.

There really is so much from this game that I didn't see when I went to the Nintendo event. Pretty much as they just had it set up so you select games from the menu and not the NintendoLand hub. Even just with three playing yesterday, we had a blast playing through the multiplayer games. Mario Chase probably got the most play, once the third stage was unlocked we pretty much just played on that one. Luigi's Ghost Mansion is probably one of the fairest we played with what seemed like an even win for the ghost and the players. Pikmin is a surprise for team play though. So much fun there. I think that will be a favourite too. I'll be delving into the single player games more now.

Had a blast playing this yesterday with my sister and friend. I just sat and just the game pad whilst they played through. It adds a whole new way to go through the levels when you have someone that can just place platforms anywhere. Opens up so many possibilities. Or just evilness Miiverse really does add to the game too.

Thanks for this thread. I have VM too and would have been lost. Tried out of sheer curiosity and it did not connect to our normal superhub WiFi. Luckily we have a spare router than we have been running WEP for old DS's on, so I changed all the settings around, set the superhub to modem mode only and the Wii U is now updating. I know that is not much help to those with no spare router, but I have hated the superhub ever since we got it. Connection losses a plenty.

What a job that was. I didn't pre-order because I was waiting for my workplace to get them in and they just didn't. Went in today again and was told that they were not getting any in store at all. So it was time to trek around the shops in low hopes that someone had one. First stop, PC World. "We can order you a Basic pack but we have none in store. Bah. Next, I thought I'd try Morrisons, maybe they had some. The lady I asked didn't know, but was nice and took my details so someone could phone back. CEX. I saw some in the window, and thought I'd enquire. I don't really like them but I was desperate. They said they had Basics, and one Premium, oooh. When I said the premium, they bought me a Zombie U box, and when I asked, they said "Yeah, we get them in like this and sell them as Premium. So I asked what was in it, and they said that everything but the Zombi U game and the classic controller. So to me, what they had done, was got a Zombi U pack, took out the game and pro controller and were selling it as a premium one for get this £345. That's £45 above the normal price, it was basically second hand as they said they had turned it on to check it, and I was getting no game with it. :mad: So I said, "please hold on, I'll just check GAME". I had no hope but asked in there and they went to check. They guy came back and said "yes we have one premium one left" I ended up getting a premium console, Mario U and a "starter pack" which includes stylus' and a gamepad case. All for the lovely sum of £349. A heck of a lot cheaper than I would have to buy that one from CEX from. Now to get it all set up. YAY.

The islands in the films were as follows. Film 1: Isla Nublar (Main Park) Film 2: Isla Sorna (kind of breeding ground) Film 3: Isla Sorna (again, which is why Dr. Grant says he was never on this island)

Just found this video from E3 showing game footage and a discussion with one of the developers. Voice acting is in, though it will be lines taken directly from the films and not additional dialogue. They neither deny nor confirm that this will be on WiiU along with all other consoles.
