Played Mass Effect 3 a few months back and fell in love with it. Instantly jumping into my top 3 games of all time. I feel a bit gutted I didn't play the first two first but with no PS3/360 or PC I didn't really have the option to. I'm holding out hope they re-release the trilogy on PS4/XBO, with all the DLC included. I'd buy one of those consoles just to play it. No news at E3 or Gamescom doesn't fill me with hope though, plus they seem to have their hands full at the moment. Do people think a re-release is likely? I imagine it'd sell pretty well.

As if Tingle wasn't creepy enough!

Those four new icons are styled similar to how the original eight are on the tracks themselves. I just played Mount Wario and there was a Star Cup logo with that same checkered flag and gold MK writing. I think it's probably just leftover assets but you never know. There'll definitely be DLC tracks though, once they feel sufficient time has passed for sales to need a boost.

So the latest N-Europe whinge about the Wii U is that the Gamepad is too big and it looks too ugly on coffee tables. Looking forward to seeing what Page 285 holds.... the speaker isn't loud enough, the console attracts too many fingerprints or maybe another round of whinging about no voice chat in MK8.

There is a ghost house track but it's rubbish and very forgettable. Give me the SNES tracks over it any day.

My favourite view as well. Funny how the simplest track is one of the most beautiful.

Rime on PS4 looks incredible, if clearly inspired by Wind Waker. I really hope Zelda U is as inventive as this, it makes Skyward Sword look so safe and generic. Actually watching it again the art style seems a bit similar to the new Zelda.

I just found the 'F U' comment to Nintendo amusingly OTT. I don't mind the constant teasing because it just makes it more and more likely that they'll release it eventually, when the time is right.

Whoooooosh.

Yeah, F U Ninty!!!! Worst company ever

Where do they say you will have your repair back within 7 days guaranteed?

That's pretty standard practise to be honest and certainly nothing to throw a hissy fit over. Companies don't start repairing the instant they receive an item, especially if it's a particularly busy period for them.

Pretty much sadly

I'm gutted because Mario games (and their spin-offs) are perfect Xmas gaming material for me, so it'll feel weird playing this in January, strange as that sounds.

I have a feeling that it won't literally be 'endless', just that it will be huge and without any loading times a la Wind Waker.

Captain Turd and Amoeba. We're quite clearly dealing with genius wit here.

Your mum's responses seemed pretty reasonable to me. Maybe just go out and get them yourself.

Jeeze and there was me thinking it'd only be a few more weeks to wait. This sounds like months.

What an amazing game that was. Finally managed to 100% it, and loved every second. Easily in my top three games this year.

It's a little odd how defeating the big bad final boss entails jumping on his back a few times. Overall I thought it was a decent game but one I just finished so I could finally put it away and never touch again. Felt like a chore at times, though it also did plenty right at times. Couldn't imagine 100%-ing it, my idea of hell, unlike Mario 3D World which was a joy to play through IMO.

That looks like two images photoshopped together, not great IMO

I pretty much only listen/watch IGN's Game Scoop and Nintendo Voice Chat. I slightly prefer the former because it's a bit more fun, as long as they get in some Nintendo coverage.

LOVING this game, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Metroidvanias. Fantastic platformer/beat-em-up. The art style is GORGEOUS, the music really great and the humour is LOL funny at times. Plenty of gaming homages too.

Wii U: Mass Effect 3 - amazing. Top 3 game of all time for me after Wind Waker and Mario Galaxy. Really hope they release the trilogy on PS4/XBO. 3DS: Steamworld Dig - fantastic, really loved it. Gutted when I finished earlier today.

This game is looking really good, shame they chose the Skyward Sword bokoblins
