I don't have anyone to to with a didn't fancy trusting myself in the city alone :p I was under the impression there'd be all sorts of Wii U stuff like MarioKart 8 though so it's not too bad. Would have loved to play 3D World though!

@dazzybee in that case I wouldn't worry :P I hate dancing in real life (unless I'm drunk of my mind) but find dance games a lot of fun :p And the Mario dance game is amazing! I just hated having to unlock the songs through story mode. I mean, what were they thinking when they put a story mode in a DDR game? :p

If you hate dancing then no matter how good the game is, you're not really gonna like it :p And the motion controls are certainly a lot better than they used to be. It's still possible to cheat (to an extent) by sitting down and flailing your arms, but that's not exactly the point, and certainly won't get you high scores. I'd liken it to button bashing on fighters. Anyway, it's so fun because unlike a lot of dance games it just doesnt take itself very seriously. A lot of the dances are quite silly and tongue in cheek but you also have a nice variety of songs that have really good dance moves. Unlike the previous games, pretty much every song has some variation, you'll have the regular dance for it, then either a dance mash up or an 'intense' version, so there's a lot more on offer. And VS battles make it more exciting, as you face off against each other and take HP off one another depending on how well you do. But yeah, trying to genuinely do all the moves in a duet can be pretty funny, I've done this a few times on Just Dance 4 but never quite nailed that ending: And the online is great. Instead of being a complete seperate entity (like on mario kart where you have to wait on a 'connecting to nintendo network' screen) it's built in right on the menu. You hover your cursor over the 'world dance' (or whatever it's called) logo and you'll hear a song, that's the song that everyone is dancing too this second. Click on it and you'll have a 5 second countdown and be thrown into the song with a bunch of other dancers (about 30) until the next song. When you do a song from start to finish (so usually the second song you do) you'll see all the names on the left (much like on mario kart where it shows racers positions) depending on how many points you all have and at the end you'll see who the top 3 dancers are. Inbetween dances and choosing songs etc you can view peoples profiles which say where they're from and allow you to add them as Wii U friends. You can earn points online to improve your online ranking and earn the normal points that you also get in one player mode which can be used to unlock alternate dances, the VS Mode dances and new player avatars.

Blue and black, so you can look like your twin from Flower Boy Band!

This sounds amazing, I'd love to just like, strap the gamepad to my head and have the sensor bar infront of me. It'd be like I'm actually there

After pissing around for 2 days trying to get this phone they've cancelled my order because their security team has a problem with my passport. I asked what exactly the problem was and they can't discuss it. Ugh, I'm so pissed off. I have no good way of putting it, so I'll just say that AffordableMobiles are fucking shit.

I have a Justin Bieber calendar.

Couldn't find a topic so thought I'd start my own as I know at least a few people here (well, me and @Animal) like the game! So, have any of you picked it up? The track list isn't as strong as previous years in my opinion but the overall game is by far the best. Everything is so streamlined and the online mode is just fantastic. Seriously, the community feel to this game is amazing. And today for the first time, I came FIRST out of a room of 30. I even got 3 friend requests afterwards, felt like a true god. Thank you, Katy Perry. And the VS dance battles are back! YES!

Ha, it's funny you should mention the forum thing, I just said something in passing about it a few days ago at work and they were like '...a Nintendo forum'? I sometimes forget that some of the things I find completely normal aren't necessarily normal to others because I'm always in such a bubble :p This is especially true when it comes to people asking what music I'm into at the moment and I realise I've had a slightly embarrasing Kpop binge for the last 6 months. Aaaanyway, I have an unhealthy love for this utterly terrible ITV show called Dinner Date. It's so bad I love it. Every day that I'm off and have lunch I'll put it on. It's pretty much an even cheaper version of Come Dine With Me where one girl or guy has to go on 3 dinner dates hosted by 3 different people looking for love and then at the end has to choose the best one who they will take to a romantic restaurant whilst the other 2 will be sent a microwave meal. The people on it are generally always such morons and it genuinely makes me happy to be single :p What's more shocking is the fact that all these 25-30 year olds are just so desperate to get into a relationship. I'm gonna go eat a microwave meal now and cry myself to sleep. Like I said, so fucking happy.

Didn't SEGA release a Mega Drive with a bunch of built in games a few years ago? Or did I dream that?

We need more FUN little games thrown on eShop for low prices like Spin the Bottle. Also, look at Game & Wario, most of the stuff on there is crap but the pictionary and flinging games are amazing. They truly show what the Wii U is about, much like Nintendo Land's Mario Chase, it's just a shame they're hidden within £40 games.

@Charlie It's out of warranty, sadly! ___ I've had such a fucking headache trying to sort out this bastard phone. I've spent literally HOURS being thrown from one customer service worker to the next, swapping departments, being told to upgrade or just leave, ugh. The final, best deal I could squeeze out of them was to just cancel my contract and pay a £151 fee... Which is around the same amount I'll have to pay to get it fixed just without the hassle (they won't fix it themselves, I'll have to go through Apple and I just don't know what third party place to trust) After hours of banging my head against a brick wall I think I will just cancel with them and start over.

I think there's enough 3rd party characters with those two, but I can't help but think Pacman might make an appearance. NAMCO are gonna push Pacman hard (apparently) with the release of his new game (that bland platformer) and I swear they said something about a cartoon or series. With Namco co-developing I can only imagine they'd want to include him.

My iPhone is broke Completely out of the blue as well. It has been working perfectly fine, then I went to get it out of my locker at work yesterday and the battery was flat. A bit weird, I thought, as it had about 60% battery when I left it, but I thought maybe I'd left a lot of apps on in the background or something. Anyway I got home and charged it and once again it seemed fine (to 100%) but by the time I'd woken up it had already dropped to 20%. So I thought there may be a problem with a battery but then... I tried charging it again, and it had the logo to say it was plugged in but didn't charge at all. I tried all sorts of combinations, USB Wall plug, USB in computer, my spare USB in the computer, USB on Wii and finally putting it into my iPod dock. None of them would charge it. Now I'm all out of battery and don't know what to do. My warranty is out and I just paid for a holiday D: ..From what I can tell, it will take me ages to get it fixed and will cost a shit ton. Uuuuugh.

Im probably missing something really obvious but I can't figure out how to take the 'selfie' pictures. Any advice?

I watched the 1998(ish?) Hollywood Godzilla last week. Oh man, what an experience that was.

I had a look through the songs on Karaoke U and it certainly has a wide variety! I haven't got round to playing it yet because I've had no one over but if it comes to it I'll just play it by myself on Monday :p And I like the Mii outfits.

I started playing this today and I can't get over how cute Link is. All those crazy facial expressions :P I was crawling along to catch this pig and Link had the biggest frown. As far as the HD is concerned, it's hit and miss for me. Some parts look amazing and then other parts (like the forest at the top of Outset Island) look hella ugly.

I couldn't stick to my 'no new games' rule ...and travel insurance!

Is the tesco thing running yet? I might go after work to get wind waker an just dance but don't wanna go if they're not selling Wii U games :p Ugh, they sell Just Dance at work but only the Wii version

Just finished Season 8 and it actually did pick up near the end. Whilst some episodes were terrible there were some really good ones too so I'm at least back in the HIMYM mood in time for this final season! ...Though sadly I watched 18 episodes in like 480p and then they all arrived in HD on Netflix :p

Well now I'm excited.

I think the wisp powers can always be justified by the inclusion of... DRILL. Man, that thumping music is reason enough to drill the day away. But yeah, the Colours abilities are very hit and miss. I thought they did a great job of giving variety to Colours but at the same time there certainly were some that could have been improved or left out altogether. I'd forgotten about that damn CUBE and remember one particular level where the cube drove me insane.

Thanks for suggesting it guys, that really was fantastic It makes the ending all the more bittersweet. EDIT: And I take back what I said about the presenter, he can be annoying but I guess his heart is in the right place :p

I agree with everything up to the Colours point. I really want this game and am hyping myself up but... at the same time I haven't ever been blown away by any of the trailers or anything. And on the subject of colours, it's actually my favourite 3D Sonic title, apart from the Laser. I fucking hated that thing. I dunno, I guess after Galaxy 2 I'd had just about enough of the whole crazy gravity thing and shooting to different platforms and even after all this time it still doesn't look like quite the right fit for a Sonic title. I'm sure it will still be great though and I'll buy it without a doubt. And yeah, I share your thoughts on the deadly six. They just seem so... Skylanders-ish.
