Very much so. To be honest the arguments on either side here are pretty weak. As usual Ronnie seems to have no clue about non-Nintendo games, but on the other hand is defending pretty well against the comments about Zelda not evolving because the arguments being made aren't very good. My desire for Zelda is for them not to enforce the same mechanics every game (same horse, bird, time travel) like they are already doing but to considerably re-evaluate much of what they do repeat. The same sort of story (Ganondorf / Triforce / Master Sword), battle mechanics, dungeon mechanics and various gameplay mechanics (20 hearts and various heart piece quests). I sincerely believe they can make these changes without destroying the Zelda theme. My favourite Zelda is Majora's Mask, which funnily enough said nuts to the Triforce, Zelda, Ganondorf and the Master Sword, while having the ability to play as other races. Neato! While the usual elements have made for some great games there comes a point where you've experienced that sort of thing so many times that you think "come on, try something new!". Maybe they are doing that now with the new open world Zelda, which looks like a step in the right direction, but time shall tell!

Shadow Hearts 1 and 2! Do iiit. FFX and X-2 digital versions are on sale on the PSN store (something like £15 for both). Well worth it, crazy value.

It's such a shame the way Japan is, I would kill for Dragon Quest to go back to Sony consoles. Imagine how good it could be two generations on from the godly DQVIII.

I remember getting it for £60 off GameStop, it took forever for them to get stock but in the end it was worth it.

I think one of the real reasons the Wii U felt a bit barren wasn't the precise number of games but that most of the games weren't really very exciting to your PS3/360 gamer. A lot of ports we'd already played with little incentive to rebuy (not like the 'definitive' series coming to PS4/X1 which at least have had quite a bit of work put in and were a step up from the last generation).

There's nothing daft about what I said, Serebii really does pick on the smallest inadequacies if it can be spun to favour Nintendo. Saying what you did though just makes you appear very out of touch. Both consoles have some very good games, something I know from owning both. A piece of advice; you might want to go and look at how much good software the PS4/X1 will have had by the time its first year is done. Far more than the Wii U had, for sure.

What on Earth are you talking about?

@ReZourceman who are your phase 1 and phase 2 (/anticipated) targets?

Haha, QFT. There is so much right with the other consoles compared to the Wii U that he's clinging the to the one festering, irrelevant bone there is left and won't let go. Tbh, I would be absolutely fucking amazed if Nintendo didn't include at least a 500GB hard drive on their next console. They're dirt cheap now and they have no excuse.

Hoo boy. Just read this and I got a whole barrel of crazy. :p It's just the funny stuff thread, I really doubt anyone else cares about sources.

Flubit are quoting £27.98 for Wolfenstein on PS4, still not totally convinced whether to get it though.

@Sméagol who do you see yourself targeting this phase, if anyone?

Yeah, I think the C stick could do with being changed, and you need the second triggers for compatibility with a lot of third party games. Not enough buttons as it is. That Z button wasn't great either.

Wahey! Should be good.

I had that one time, they apparently noticed suspicious activity and made me reset my password. Had to use a different password than before too... I think it's because I signed into a fair few different places within a short amount of time once. Weird that you're getting an error trying to change it to something else though.

Pretty cool if you managed to nab an en suite for that price. Places looks good too.

That's cool. Happy Birthday!

Woooah. Woah. So hang on, are you saying the Wii U low power option was based on earthquakes that happened after all?

It's not that I don't agree with you, it's that I simply don't believe you. You can say it all you like but you've lied about other things to make Nintendo look good (like explaining their low energy route with the Wii U was down to earthquakes happening). To be honest, I'm not inclined to believe anything you say these days. You're just far too blinkered, often uttering whatever you can in defence of Nintendo.

Maybe it felt flimsy and lightweight because it was suspended in air, attached via a metal cord to the demo booth? :p Try harder!

I never argued any different. All I am saying is that me and Flink stand very well to compare the two purely because we have them both, not through any loyalty to a company. Heck, if I was blindly loyal, I wouldn't go saying the gamecube controller was my favourite.

We're complaining because we have both controllers, have used both to a considerable degree and find one feels a lot better than the other. No other reason. :p

The gamecube controller is hardly fully compatible with all their new games (especially given their trend towards motion controls) and the buttons don't match up. One set of triggers versus two (a particular problem for FPS games), and various other button differences. I fully understand why they went with the Wii remote as that enabled them to push motion controls, which was hot at the time. But turn to the present and they had the opportunity to revive the gamecube controller but with some significant changes to the sorts of buttons on the thing, while keeping the overall ergonomic design. A real missed opportunity, I think.

If it wasn't awkward in the slightest, then me and Flink wouldn't be complaining about it. :p

It's back in stock for a tenner if you still haven't got it. http://www.thegamecollection.net/assassin-s-creed-iv-black-flag-special-edition-wii-u.html?tduid=019b5a799b7e5ce316f9dea6dd310e1b
