Yeah they're totally going to drop the series that saved them in the 90s and sold 7.7m units in two weeks late last year. Dumbass. Nuts to Dungeon :p

Great Detective Pikachu in Summer 2015. Aww yeah. Game of the Year They're really not. Plus I have logical evidence that supports that 2015 will be a year off of main series games (though early 2016 release will exist)

Last I heard, they were selling it for £45. £10 above RRP and £10 above eShop price. This was before the "official" launch though. Could have dropped.

Tested my LAN Adapter last night and the game worked almost flawlessly. Still a couple of niggles here and there, but it was good. He was in Manchester though, so the latency shouldn't be that bad as standard. Huzzah.

Mission Failed btw. That said, my social confidence is building. Was able to talk to more people with whom I had no prior association so that's a step, some of whom were female. Marathon, not a sprint. I'll get there.

I'm a bit surprised people are going crazy about this. We've known for a while they'd do all Smash characters.

I think we need to see more of it before people get hyped Next Direct will likely deliver

You git :p

Hey guys Time for the usual annual "let's pledge to do something that we will never do" Post your new years resolutions here and crosspost with your one from last year from this thread: http://www.n-europe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=54024&highlight=new+years+resolution Did you manage it? Mine was Mine's the same, find a companion, but I also wish to finish the new site layout I have been noodling with all year. How about everyone else?

This is where my mind went while trying to decipher @martinist's post :p

Starts on Thursday for a week

How is it reason to be "disgusted". You can be annoyed, sure, but disgusted is a bit strong. It's not like they were pushing everyone to buy it this past week and then reduced it forever. This is a one week sale

Finished Episode 3 and now onto 100%ing that episode and testing out the bonus levels. Still loving it

Don't worry mate, you never have to worry about snow here. While all of England gets snow, Bournemouth typically doesn't

My first thought was due to relations with Russia, then thought "Oh wait, it's Ubisoft" :p

Tetris (GameBoy) is being removed from the eShop on Wednesday

Motion control is weird. I love it, and Skyward Sword was a blast to play due to it, but it is also a barrier. I honestly don't see myself going back to Skyward Sword as often as I do the others. I prefer motion control like the uses I prefer with the Wii U GamePad. I like subtle uses like in Mario Galaxy or Duck Hunt. I don't want to be flailing around like a mad-man or rotating the controller like crazy when trying to steer. That's not to say that I don't like good motion control, as I said I loved Skyward Sword's implementation. I just prefer them to be so subtle that I don't even realise I'm doing it. As @Dcubed mentioned, even though they aren't huge massive gimmicky things now, they're a standard (as I always say, today's gimmicks are tomorrow's standards) and are used rather well now. There's not huge focus on them, and that's good, but integrating them like buttons and control sticks now is the way forward.

I have to buy one more NES game, so means I only get £1.50 "profit". But hell, "profit" is "profit". I always wanted to try Devil World anyway

Figure I'll get this started. What does your activity log look like for this year? What games have you spent most of your time on? This can be found in the Daily/Activity Log on both consoles. Clearly the defining feature of this generation. If this is too early, can a mod close it and reopen it when you think it's right?

It's still listing that the stuff is as of Christmas Eve. Once it lists it as being Christmas Day, then you should worry

What?? Spin Attack found. Thank you Puppet Cat Mario. Did you know this, @Hero\-of\-Time?

The aesthetics of this game are just stunning. It's such a shame that most of gameplay will be spent looking at the GamePad

Same price as Captain Toad. This is a budget release. 28 stages and 40 challenge stages seems decently sized.

I like how the Marth, Villager and Wii Fit Trainer amiibo are emphasised on it :p
