Not when it's the official UK store...

:p You've lost this one. You won one last week, so it's even :p

I think we should sign Wii up to a class on Economy.

Indeed. Sony and MS are somewhat scummy (I will never forgive Microsoft for what they tried to do with the Xbox One), but I still buy their products :p

Ohhh. I just noticed: http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo/fox-no.6/10993678.html Release Date: November 2014 Does that stealthily confirm Smash Bros Wii U's EU release month? *cough@Dcubedcough*

So much for you having me on ignore 1. Because they have to sort out licenses etc. with the companies that do have it, and as @Hero\-of\-Time said 3. Nintendo Network is the real deal. Sure, it has a couple of issues, but so does everything, and they have outlined that they are going to resolve those issues with the next platforms 4. Some games don't lend themselves to DLC. I'd rather not have DLC shoehorned in where it doesn't belong. 5. Miyamoto was working on gameplay concepts, not specific hit games. He's trying for hit gameplay, and the three he showed at E3 have great potential. Also, we don't know everything that's in development, either. You do know things do exist without us knowing about them, right? Also, I do criticise Nintendo when criticism is warranted.

The card stuff exists in Japan. Payment can be done with it http://www.nintendo.co.jp/campaign/butamedal/ Also, amiibo isn't just for sharing personalised data, they are also set to unlock things in games. To provide content in the game that can't exist without the figure etc. I don't think it's filled with contradictions and unfilled promises, but rather you're filled with misinformation and bias. The base of the package seems low enough for the NFC reader to read it, so we should be fine.

http://store.nintendo.co.uk/amiibo.list £10.99 per piece. Cue @Wii complaining about price conversions.

Pic of the day. Here's one of the final battles in Smash Run, called "Run!" As you'd expect, it involves you dashing toward the finish line. In general, the fighters who are fast by default, equipped with speed-boosting equipment, and powered-up with speed boosts over the course of that Smash Run will have the advantage. However, speed isn't the only factor that will determine who will be victorious... Those red things in the picture are called danger zones, and if you touch one, you'll get penalized by respawning farther back in the stage!! The danger zones disappear after someone else touches them, so fighters following those in the lead will have an advantage. You can still find speed boosts throughout the stage, so it'll be a heated battle 'till the end!! Here's another final battle called "Climb!" Obviously, those that can jump or fly higher will have the advantage, but they also have to avoid the danger zones!! It gets pretty challenging if you've boosted your speed too much, as well. Everyone really gets into this when playing multiplayer.

The game looks so great Ruby & Sapphire are where my site goes full circle. They were the first games I ever covered fully on my site. That doesn't mean I'm stopping though, as when you have a circle, you then create another, and then another...and then you have a snowman.

ShopTo also had November 21st for Pokémon ORAS last week. Let's wait for an official announcement :p

New music Audio Audio

Pic of the day. Until now, you were only able to choose from four, or sometimes five or six colors for each character. This time, though, all characters have eight colors to choose from! The first four color schemes for Samus are based off her Varia Suit, Fusion Suit, Gravity Suit from Super Metroid, and the Dark Suit. …And here she is in the color schemes of the Gravity Suit from Metroid Prime, Green Samus (a regular in the Smash series), the Light Suit, and Dark Samus. A total of eight colors. You can choose between four male and four female Villagers to play with. The designs for their faces and clothes are different. And here are the four Villagers we haven't shown you yet.

Nintendo UK ‏@NintendoUK · 6m She's coming… Join us at 23:00 BST on 04/09 for a #Bayonetta 2 Direct! http://www.nintendo.co.uk/nintendodirect Relax buddy

Btw, on Friday next week, once it's downloaded, I'll be doing a livestream of the 3DS game, if anyone's interested.

The 21% is the character's health :p

Pic of the day. This time, you can challenge every fighter in All-Star Mode from the moment you turn on the game!! This is a survival battle with limited recovery items and no option to continue. However, this mode will be incomplete until you've unlocked every fighter... Until then, you can only play against characters that are already available. This is a picture of the bottom-screen menu, with a padlock indicating that the mode is still incomplete. In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!

Because it wasn't one. Seriously though, form factor, chipset, name etc.

Fans of The Legend of Zelda series can also look forward to a 10% fan discount on Hyrule Warriors from the game’s release on 19th September 2014 until 26th September 2014. If a title from The Legend of Zelda series for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS has been downloaded before, Hyrule Warriors can be purchased on Nintendo eShop for just €44.99 / £35.99 instead of the regular price of €49.99 / £39.99.*

Pic of the day. The legendary hero Riki appears as an Assist Trophy and in Shulk's Final Smash!! As an Assist Trophy, he uses many arts like Happy Happy, Freezinate, and Yoink! He sounds a bit like Tingle…but don't worry, Tingle will make an appearance too. By the way, a cursor will appear above Assist Trophies and Pokémon to indicate which fighter is its ally. Now you can tell right off the bat who it belongs to!!

They are tied to your account It's just the account is tied to the console. If you were to delete your NNID though, through your 3DS, it would delete the games from your Wii U.

We'll see. My money is on an E3 2016 reveal with a release November 2016. I personally view this as the same purpose as the DSi, not the DSi XL. The 3DS is less than four years old. It's way too soon.

Just like the DSi and the GameBoyColor were successors, right?

I think the successor is further out than you think
