I think the price is actually pretty brilliant for the tech involved. Will wait a bit to see how it pans out first I think.

Today has been a pretty decent day. Most of my day has been tying up lose ends and handing things over to people for the next few weeks. Because tomorrow, I fly to Japan. Complimentary champagne and an open bar (Air France ftw), followed by arrival in the great city of Tokyo. I am very excite. Much wow.

QFT, SMW represents the pinnacle of 2D Mario. Nothing short of genius on display in that game. I absolutely loved the cape, personally. It felt really cool to control.

For a social shooter I would pick Destiny over The Division (gameplay/mechanics and PvP are tight). Pretty cheap now too and you're getting quite a lot of content for your money. Make sure to get the Taken King edition if you fancy it, not just the original game. I've sunk so much time into this game and the N-E community co-op experiences have been second to none. A great roguelike I've been playing recently is Nuclear Throne. Think Hotline Miami gameplay but when you die you start from the beginning. It's on PS4 as well as Vita.

Yeah, but it's not like shoes or anything.

Cannot wait. Given the people involved in this one you just know it's gonna be great. Will get on Vita for sure.

Controversial maybe but I think they should put most of their Wii U games down to £20 now (not just these). Mostly because they have been out a while now, or at least enough time to justify a £20 tag. Would also help given it's rumoured there's not too long before NX is out.

I think the reason for me is that the gameplay difference (and setting) in this was night and day with Destiny. I can really appreciate the mechanics and how completely polished Destiny feels, to the point you take it for granted. I genuinely feel in some ways that Destiny has slightly ruined other shooters for me in that it feels so good. There are also great modes that specifically focus on PvP like Trials of Osiris in Destiny, unlike what I've seen so far in this game where PvP is a thing that happens in the background while people try to achieve other objectives. I had a bit of fun on the beta but the setting and gameplay felt a bit generic. I'm not mad keen on cover shooters tbh.

I'll be around Saturday afternoon and evening (if that's good for you?) @Daft or @DriftKaiser that work for either of you?

Yeah, this actually does.

Goooood shit.

No doubt about that, but the distance is still massive.

As much as I want them to be...nah.

'Cause UK is where it's at. Obvs.

Yeah, it really would. Hopefully Nintendo know what they're doing.

Sure. There is always a day or two every weekend where someone can't make it but I usually can. I'd be up for playing with you next weekend.

Every time you kill Big Dog on Vita it gets a bout of mega lag for a few seconds. Had the game crash a couple of times in the 15 or so hours I've played so far. Loving it though.

Bought this yesterday and all I can say is that this is incredible. Can totally understand why Eurogamer said this was essential.

Whether it happens elsewhere or not has absolutely no bearing on our ability to rightly call out this practice. This and other examples of Nintendo emulated titles I can think of is why I don't think this N3DS limitation is just to deliver the most pure emulation experience. Also, given Nintendo are re-releasing SNES games at a higher cost than on the Wii U and with no cross buy, it feels very much all about the money to me.

It says to me that the fact they've gotten a new accounts system isn't really a 'turning point'. They still have so much to learn in terms of meeting industry standards. Well, yeah, there is, if older 3DS models really are capable of playing the games. It's essentially like when banks offer deals to new customers while ignoring the old ones.

Well it's not like that's the only thing they're getting by upgrading, but it seems pretty likely that this was done to further entice people to upgrade.

Seems weird that they would bother bringing out Destiny next year if they're also bringing out Destiny 2 (scheduled to release next year). It's a game totally reliant on the community so if they shifted to Destiny 2, it just seems weird that they would also release the first within such a short timeframe?

So terrible it can't run SNES games acceptably? Fuck. Good job the N3DS was exactly the bridge in power that was required then.

Yeah, it's not.
