DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING?

Aah I was mistaken! I thought the GBA games were only time exclusive too. Still, it really is shocking the amount of effort the have put into the VC. As usual, they promise to make the online store a better experience yet provide us with barely any games, and over priced ones at that. I mean seriously, GB games should be no more than £1.50. But that's a whole other matter, they can charge what they want for now as long as they start putting some titles on there. I've been waiting for Donkey Kong Land for a year and a half now!

I'm starting to get desperate now, when on earth do Nintendo plan to put GBA games on the eShop!?

You know I'm always here if you want some company whilst having a cheeky fiddle

Anyone that has had a cheeky fiddle with their Wii will have no doubt heard of the homebrew application, WiiMC. Well, today I was searching the online radio stations and stumbled upon XAMFM, which plays some of the best JPOP and KPOP. My gosh, this is like a dream come true. It makes me yearn for Donkey Konga 3 again.

I actually like the weapons, it makes the game far more skill based. Mario Kart generally gets weapons right, and they're usually great fun, but Mario Kart Wii left such a bitter taste in my mouth with the COUNTLESS blue shells per race that it put me off the entire series for a while. It's a breath of fresh air being in first place for being a good racer, as oppose to being first and being relentlessly harassed by blue shells until some loser in 8th manages to glide to the finish line at the last second. Then again, that is part of the beauty of Mario Kart :p I don't know what point I'm trying to make, so... it's great, just don't expect it to be too much like Mario Kart.

Toy Story 3 was a great film but UP! is probably the one that tugs at my heart strings the most :p Oh man, that reminds me, how could I forget...

Yeah, I'd say try and rent it or something? From what I can tell the demo doesn't do it justice at all. It's my favourite Wii U title so far and after being considerably disappointed after Mario Kart 7, this was a great breath of fresh air. Some wonderful tracks and majestic music, especially if you're a big SEGA fan. The one thing that could be improved is local multiplayer. Had some great fun on it yesterday with two friends but the menu's are a pain and the graphics do suffer slightly when in local play (no shadows, a few more glitches).

I love this one, though it's a bit 'loud' so I only wear it out occasionally :p I love this one, wear it often: and this is just heavenly:

I'm ashamed to admit it (but keep in mind I was about 7 or 8 at the time) I cried at the end of Mario 64 :p It was the first game I played from start to finish and I loved every second, when this music came on and panned over all of the levels, holy shit, I couldn't believe it had ended. No game has matched it (in my mind) since. That's the only game though. With films it's a whole different matter. Seven Pounds, Revolutionary Road and Rinne no Ame all had me in pieces.

Banjo was scared at first and kept trying to get back in the house, but after 30 seconds he was running all over the place loving it.

I would love a new Pokémon on a home console, but I can see why they won't do it. I suppose for as long as they can get away with churning out the same stuff, they will. They change a few elements, add new Pokémon and they sell millions. You can kind of see why they don't go for anything more ambitious. I still don't get why a lot of you don't think it would work though. I bet if Nintendo announced a new Pokémon RPG for Wii U at E3, you'd all be going crazy over it.

I think the main problem is that we've had nothing like THIS at launch: It's early days yet, and I'm sure as soon as Nintendo start pumping out some great first party content, good times will be had. ...It's just I don't know if that first party content exists. I was a fan of the original Pikmin, but Pikmin 3 looks so dull. Wii Fit U also doesn't get my pulse racing. Bring on E3 I say.

They don't have to do one or the other, I think they should keep the handheld series as it is, as to not upset the core fan base. But it would be great to also have a home console version that's a little different. It would be in the same way Nintendo release New Super Mario Bros. titles as well as Mario Galaxy/3D Land titles.

@Serebii it wouldn't be changing it for no reason, it would be changing it for a console release, something that a lot of gamers have been after for years. @RedShell or transfer it to an app on 3DS?

A Pokémon RPG would sell millions, I'd bet. And sure, they'd have to change a fair few aspects to make it work on a console but so what? God forbid they try and actually evolve the series *ahem*

The prices weren't always great but HMV was fantastic for Wii games. They had all the obscure or fairly low key titles and it was a huge section. It was the only place I could find Boom Street on the high street (GAME didn't even know what it was) and also had the likes of Let's Tap, Fragile Dreams and Klonoa in on day one. Alas, online shopping can't be beaten!

If anything, I'm surprised the Wii U has done this well, with barely any exclusives, the high price and a piss poor advertising campaign. Nintendo need a medal.

Had my first good driving lesson in ages, so hopefully I'm getting back on track :p This will be me in no time:

@Hero\-of\-Time Oh man, that boss is such a pain, the voice acting is totally worth it though. And if you're desperate to hear all of the great music on offer, go to the passcode mode from the main menu and type in JUKEBOX ;D Interestingly, it seems that Timber was originally the main character! I suppose the story makes a bit more sense now "Timber the Tiger's parents go on vacation and leave their son in charge of the island they live on, leaving him and his friends to race for fun. Their enjoyment is derailed when an evil, intergalactic, pig wizard named Wizpig arrives at peaceful Timber's Island and attempts to take over after he conquered his own planet's racetracks." But what happened to the sequel Donkey Kong Racing?

The DS game had online, 6 players if I remember correctly! It's not often your find people to race with though :p It is a shame the DS title wasn't up to scratch And as far as Rare is concerned, I still really like them. Viva piñata is fantastic and whilst Nuts and Bolts went in a different direction it was still a great game and boasted their typically great writing and music!

@Raining_again Now it seems so obvious, I feel stupid :p

@\-Dem0\- Oh man, Darkmoon Caverns! It's the Stickerbrush Symphony of Diddy Kong Racing!

I love reddit, have been on it every day for months now, but still haven't got my own account :p I just like seeing what's on the front page. I also went on the actual website for the first time yesterday and it looks hideous, this whole time I've been using the app 'Alien Blue' on my phone to view it and it all looks a lot nicer on there. EDIT: Though I still don't know what a cake day is and am scarred from the cumbox story

Oh my GOD! How could I forget the egg game!? That used to be so fun, but yeah, picking up eggs was such a pain! The hovercraft one was a typical shooting game but was amazing fun! The last one was the CASTLE LEVEL where you had to collect the most coins. Just thinking of all those great times on multiplayer brings a tear to my eye. That MUSIC! I also like how Diddy Kong sounds like Charmander "CHAAAARRR!!"
