I think it was more the fact that you'd never played the game, so therefore you had inadvertently performed a "Dazzybee" so to speak. Anyway... I would say it's worth getting the cheaper Wii U Version, especially if you didn't get to play it on the Wii as I'm sure you'll be pleased with the clarity in this version. Besides, anything has got to be better than not being able to play it at all! I forgot about those dark days on the Wii VC where certain games just would not run on component on certain TV's... At least with the Wii U beng HDMI you know it's going to run being that it works on an all or nothing principle. : peace:

Yeah... the searching system is... odd. I just typed in Rythm and then clicked on it when it appeared in the drop-down box, I don't even remember getting an e-mail saying that it was available to pre-order or anything. Oh well! I can't wait to play this. : peace:

Just found it... http://store.nintendo.co.uk/games-3ds/rhythm-paradise-megamix/11326848.html?autocomplete=productsuggestion Sweet, I was wondering when this would be available to pre-order! The Nintendo Store is doing very well out of me this month...

In all honesty, they are all good gifts. The mug is a nice item, though I'd feel that it's too nice to use so it would stay in its box... that packaging though. :awesome: The coasters seem reasonable, but I just have a feeling that the might end up being either kind of cheap, or again... too good to use so back in that lovely box. The book seems to be a nice notebook with a lenticular on the outer sleeve, shiny... but again I probably wouldn't ever write in it. The question mark tin is a lovely box in itself and it could go nicely on my desk, lots of small gaming bits could be stored in it... though it had better not arrive dented. The T-Shirt... is overpriced, basic and not so "limited" as we were led to believe when it was put in the Mario Z Boxes over at Zavvi some time ago... yeah I bought one for some odd reason so I already have that shirt. I think Nintendo missed a trick by not having a bundle with ALL the free gifts and the game for £64...

Pre-orders are now live on the Nintendo Store. Place it now - if you want - and you get to choose your free gift. Question mark block storage tin is clearly the best so I went for that. It's sad times indeed when you're more excited by the free gift than the game though... :p

If you do end up getting a PS4 when there are inevitably more deals, I can definitely say that The Last of Us Remastered is well worth getting. Originally I did buy the game on PS3 but it was the title which nearly finished off my aging original NTSC model console at the time, plus I didn't really "get" how to play it for some reason. So getting it on PS4 was like giving the game a fair trial in my eyes, indeed what a trial it was! The whole game world not only looked so much more convincing - from the PS3 original which already looked fantastic - but everything was running just as it should which drove me to stick with this unique, story-driven survival game and I'm so glad that I did as it's easily one of the most rewarding videogames I've played on the PS4 to date, probably even this generation.

Thanks to @Glen\-i and @RedShell for some fantastic hunts. I finally got up to HR7 and we helped Glen rocket up to over level 80... which then got me wondering what level I might end up jumping to? Deciding that it would be HR lvl 64 but with that being all too convenient so it will likely be one above or below... no... perhaps half, then 64.5. 64.5... could it be? NX!??! :wink: We're calling it now, soon after I get to HR lvl 64.5 then it will surely be time for the NX to be revealed, I mean it all makes perfect sense. Anyway, we shall see... I'd better keep playing Monster Hunter regularly in the evenings just in case. : peace:

OK, so... I'm freeee from 7PM onwards. Yes I do indeed want to play today. I do still have a 3DS. It is the New XL variant furnished in gold with Majora's Mask imagery adorning the outer shell. It does not match my Wii U sadly. I can confirm that it is (probably) not the NX. Who knows if this is the NX or the real world. I know not if you are the NX, only you can answer that question. Part of it may be an illusion but who knows what is real and mere imagination at this point. I previously had not answered you because... *bacon, which has now been consumed and was delicious, now that I have seen your questions I have endeavoured to answer them in sequential order, hopefully to your satisfaction and/or amusement. *I can confirm that the NX probably doesn't contain bacon or indeed that bacon doesn't contain the NX.

A really fantastic, insightful and well put together video here, some of it you may already know about but it's worth watching. It just hit home again for me just how much we should be thankful for from within Nintendo. Hiroshi Yamauchi - Satoru Iwata - Gunpei Yokoi Gone but not forgotten.

I watched those Dear Bosman episodes the other day, really refreshing to see what's almost a condensed version of the Final Bosman (Battleborn... every time man!) :p plus I'm enjoying his roles on Easy Allies as well.

Astalos is essentially one big flying, scratching, clawing, biting and lightning-spewing hitbox now. :awesome: I won't be around until late tomorrow night so not much chance for hunting, similar for Saturday though slightly earlier so maybe, Sunday almost certainly though.

Cheers to @Glen\-i and @Dcubed for an excellent evening of hunting after being away from the game for two weeks. That monthly DLC though... just keeps me coming back! Hopefully I'll next be around on Sunday for some further hunting. : peace:

This video seems to give some idea, still not completely sure... monster capturing, summons, mirages? Borrows elements from other FF games, co-op I think... ...it looks fun. Oh yeah... that video has already been posted, which does kind of highlight how little media there is on it, but still... we shall see.

I paid full price for it when the box set came out on Blu Ray, I'm guessing you got it for a better deal? :p Either way, so much content for a really small price, yeah you can watch them on TV again - they are showing them on Spike or something - but it really is a better viewing experience when you can choose how many episodes you want to watch. I watched the entire boxset over the course of a good few months, worth every penny. The truth is out there...

So erm, did anyone else apart from me order this from the Nintendo Store then? I just wondered as mine didn't turn up, there must either be a delay or stock issues because they sent me an e-mail saying that I apparently contacted them regarding the order - I didn't - and they said something about beinf upgraded to next day delivery - to arrive by 8/10/16 - and a £5 discount code for the inconvenience. It's the 12/10/16 now so I decided to log into my account and it looks like they've updated the account section a bit, the orders are easier to track now and it just has an estimated shipping date of 14/10/16 instead. Probably best to put it down to something going wrong somewhere probably as part of the site upgrade or the free gifts, stock allocation or a combination of all of those factors plus who knows what else because it's Nintendo. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else who ordered the pack with the game, Boo Amiibo and free Fire Bar Stand (and notebook!) also had the same issues? I'm not that fussed, if it arrives soon then great, I have other games to play but so long as it turns up as described within the next week it's not so bad I guess... ...is anyone else enjoying or even playing the game? (this thread feels like everyone either left the party early or didn't even want to turn up) I can't say I blame anyone for not doing so, especially based on previous parties but I thought I'd take a chance on this one.

Perhaps they will go as far as to announce the annoucement of the annoucement of the NX...

I'll just leave this video here...

That is Juan nice video lads. The dialogue was both informative and amusing plus the way you play off Juan another is excellent. I've been reminded that I still have Guacamelee! Yet to play, yet another Juan of those Playstation Plus backlog titles I've been meaning to try out, it looks fantastic. Definitely another Juan you can chalk up as a triumph I'd have said. : peace:

I'm hoping my copy should ship soon, I pre-ordered it and paid for it from Tesco months ago because it got me the game for around £28... In the meantime, there's a Did you know? Gaming video for the Gears series which I thought was worth a watch...

Some of the most entertaining "Let's Play..." videos I've seen this year have been from Easy Allies, they're just different and interesting. Like this short video I just watched, perfect Sunday morning viewing... Skip to 1:25 if you want the main video but I enjoy the bonus bits. They've made plenty of other interesting Let's Play videos which are well worth checking out. : peace: As for in real life... it can be enjoyable to watch someone play a single-player game whilst being something of a back-seat gamer yourself, helping out here and there when required, getting a different perspective from the other player on a game you may have played but is new to them, I don't get to do that as often these days plus on some level it's more fun if you're actually playing along cooperatively but there's definitely something to be said for watching people play games, just so long as you've still got time to play the ones you've been meaning to play yourself. :wink:

Now that you mention it, I have a feeling that might have been me. Just after that first sweeping left corner? I ended up chucking one into the sign which rebounded, while the other two went quite far into the distance, someone would need to check the replay data to be sure though. I can't believe I went from second to practically last on Baby Park after chucking a Bob-omb at the finishing line, hits the sign... Boom! Absolute carnage. :p It was a good night though for such a low turnout.

Nice, out of nowhere Wii U ownership, I like it. Also, in a rare turn of events my Wii U is still on following taking part in the MK League so I have added you good sir! : peace: Don't forget to buy FAST Racing NEO plus the newly released DLC, it's only £15 or so all in (probably $28) and it's worth every penny/cent!

It's that time again... Pre-orders are live on the Nintendo store.

I'm probably in the minority of people who have pre-ordered the game on Xbox One... it's always just felt more at home on an Xbox console to me. I've still got to try out the multiplayer as I got a code for the Beta, may give it a whirl later on seeing as I'm on the console a bit more now. Either way, this will probably be the first COD game(s) that I actually put a bit of time into for a change, still probably not a huge amount though (I do have other games to play) but yeah... I'm tentatively looking forward to it.
