@Agent Gibbs And there I was thinking the wait in my local Post Office was bad :p I hope you manage to sort your 3DS out though It does sound like pretty shoddy service! By the sounds of it, my 3DS has the same problems as yours (though maybe not to the same extent). I always see a couple of scratches on the top screen left by the bottom screen and just lately the top screen has become quite squeaky when I open it. It's not as sturdy (or ugly, so I suppose it cancels itself out) as my trusty DS Phat.

Starfox 64 is pretty awesome, I really like the multi-player! And I'm hoping Nintendo sort out the messaging when the firmware update comes in November. Online Picto-Chat with friends should be included - ITS HOW IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN. But it's Nintendo so it won't happen.

I don't think I've ever listened to an album as much as I listened to this, I used to love Steps! So much so that me and my friend fell out for a day in primary school (it's the important stuff that you remember) as he said S Club 7 were better. I watched the Sky documentary and plan to drag along a friend to see them live :P Though poor old Claire, "they [Faye & Lisa] didn't even invite me out near the end, I was left to sit in the apartment eating by myself". I feel as though I should buy her a litter of cats.

The background reminds me of so many terrible PowerPoint presentations

@Retro_Link - There have been quite a few rumours lately that Sonic Generations will be delayed until early 2012 for 3DS! Like I said though, they're just rumours at the moment. It's a shame but at the same time I probably won't get Generations until early next year anyway, I plan to play a lot of Mario Kart 7 on my 3DS and will be getting the 360 version of Generations first.

I got a 360 earlier this year so I don't care if the big 'HD' games make there way to Wii U or not. As for the Wii, I'm enjoying Sonic Colours lately - It's one of my favourite Sonic games ever.

I'm still waiting for Sadness.

I'm pretty sure it should just be on the start menu after you've completed the game but I haven't finished it myself yet so I can't be sure!

This depresses me (I already knew but still, every time it is mentioned I get filled with rage) - Some of my favourite DS games were imports like Ossu! Tatake! Ouendan! (sp?) and Taiko No Tatsujin! @Retro_Link I'm glad someone agree's! I thought I was the only one that was disappointed by the lack of Mii's. I loved in the Wii version how you found random ones, I thought it was so cute when I found that Mii couple at the end of the beach @Grazza Ocarina of Time takes up most of my 3DS usage too, I quite like looking at the high scores and seeing how long I've spent on what I'm a nerd for things like that (Which is why I love Smash Bros - So...many...statistics!) @Dyson - I feel your pain. I went and got a blue 3DS mere weeks before the red one was released over here. For some reason I assumed Nintendo wouldn't release the red one in Europe 'till about November to go along-side the Mario titles but then there I was, in September, writing about how it's being released in the UK that very same month Yet, it's not all bad. As good as the red 3DS looks, I can't get over just how shiny and beautiful my 3DS is. It's like, the box isn't deceiving for once and it really is as shiny in real life!

In that case I might go back to it in a few months (well, early next year after I've exhausted Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land :P) The only reason I didn't bother going back to the missions is because I was starting to get quite tired of WuHu island, especially because I aped the flight mode of Wii Sports Resort aswell. One thing I did notice about WuHu island in Pilotwings is that it doesn't have random Mii's walking about or looking up at you, it made the place feel eerily quiet.

I didn't, I always assumed it would be impossible because some of those missions are gnarly. I only got 3 stars in the first set of missions :p I spent most of my time trying to unlock the trophies. (or whatever they were called :p) Some of them were very impressive! The first pop out 3D I saw was with the diorama of the plane, the literally stretched out, I had to touch the screen in amazement (which ruined the whole illusion :p)

Inspired by Wesley's TERRIBLE ALBUM COVERS topic is this videogame version. I must say though, the sole purpose of this thread is because of MegaMan. I put it in General Chit Chat so you could post covers from all consoles and such but feel free to move the topic if you need to. And here's one more for good measure:

I'm pretty sure they've stopped bundling that now. You can buy Wii Sports as a retail game instead though, it's £19.99 in most places but is in one of those horrible 'select cuts of prime beef' boxes.

I got this game over the weekend and it's fantastic! I agree with Emerald Emblem aswell, the graphics are just stunning. I can't believe I lost to this SCUM

How did you manage to spend such time on the game?! I thought my 10(ish) hours would be far more than the average gamer :p And that's only because I liked messing around WuHu island aimlessly popping balloons and such in Free Flight.

Maybe it was just me, I've noticed that most 2D objects in a 3D environment tend to go into double vision for me And I really liked Pilotwings Resort :P I just wish it was longer! More levels would have been great. And that special edition 3DS does look nice but I'm not a huge Monster Hunter fan myself so I think I'd rather just get the Black and White 3DS! If only PKMN Black and White had come out on 3DS, it would be a match made in (Canand) heaven.

I agree, Pilotwings is such a headache with full 3D on, it's especially annoying when all of the balloons go into double vision Other than that game though I generally have full 3D on all of the time - Because I'm hardcore.

I quite like the mix of black and white but I stand by my blue 3DS with its ultra shiny finish. That head set is definitely interesting and I hope Nintendo really do sort out the messaging system with the upcoming firmware update. If there isn't an update for 3DS messaging I can't think of any games that would actually use it at the moment unless there is a 3DS version of Call Of Duty? Though I don't think there is.

The Sun's article would go something like... "A farmer who allowed one of the world's best-selling pop stars to film in his grain field told her to cover up after she stripped down for a video. DUP Alderman Alan Graham said he was fetching his tractor when he saw her and thought it was unacceptable. The farmer also said he felt sick and dizzy after playing Nintendo's new handheld, the 3DS." 5 months too late? Ah, shit.

I guess I should be thankful.

I see how it is :P But seriously, don't even get me started on the enemies in DKC:R, those damn planks of wood.

I don't get what this is about either Im exactly the same, especially with videogames. I don't mind browsing the net too much in the day but playing games just feels weird. And I tend to stay up late whether I need to be up early or not, if I go to bed before 1am I end up lying there awake for hours anyway so I usually just tire myself out and then flop into bed around 3/4am. It's a terrible sleeping pattern that I have but I'm trying to curb it lately.

Really?! I couldn't stand it, I felt so restricted controlling with the D-pad.
