S.C.G

Apparently these are the rumoured specs, though I don't know how accurate they are... I don't confess to knowing much regarding specs but they don't sound out of the realms of possibility after what we've seen.

I thought as much! :p Now that I've seen that artwork though, I kind of want a 2D Mario Pikachu platformer, or at the very least a series of officially made levels by Nintendo within Super Mario Maker.

Perhaps it would be good to add (Merchandise) to the title... As interesting as this is (more Hanafuda cards are always good!) I read the title "Mario & Pokémon Crossover" and well... what's the first thing that comes into your head? I thought we had a new Wii U/3DS/Switch game just announced for a moment, anyway it's still cool though. : peace:

The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD - £17.09 on Tesco http://www.tesco.com/direct/wii-u-the-legend-of-zelda-wind-waker-hd/390-6678.prd?skuId=390-6678 For reference, this is the original release as the Selects version is also for sale at £14 but if you wanted the game and also wanted to avoid the less than desirable Selects artwork then £3 seems a small price to pay plus you probably won't see the original version of the game around for much longer so worth grabbing an extra copy for collector purposes as well possibly? @Hero\-of\-Time ?

@Glen\-i and I, made a pretty formidable team this evening, although I didn't quite get up to HR lvl 64.5... I did get to HR 44 by the end of the evening, so there's that! A few standout moments but the best had to be the moment a Zinogre was about to finish off poor Glen as he was at low health and dazed, I noticed it was near death so I combo'd the beast and killed it just as it was a mere half-second away from a one-hit K-O! Plenty of other decent hunts, rounded off with a traditional assault on Astalos which was butchered pretty efficiently! Part of me can't wait to see what kind of Monster Hunter game we end getting on the Nintendo Switch but there's plenty of time until then.

Sure, I'll be on soon. Level 64.5 or bust...

Watching it with the Easy Allies now as well. 1 min! https://www.twitch.tv/easyallies

Here... https://www.nintendo.co.uk/index.html Just refresh the page at 3PM as far as I know. : peace:

There's still time... *realises that it's in three hours* There's no time, there's no time! Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. Soon it will be time for the real speculation to begin! :bouncy:Hype!:bouncy:Hype!:bouncy:Hype!

Are you thinking in terms of starting with Litten, then when it fully evolves switching over to Rowlet? I think it's easier to get starter Pokémon these days, especially with the Breeding Centre presumably being available and there being online trading, I'm sure people on here would be more than willing to help you out with the trade as well... in fact, at what point in the game will you be needing a Rowlet? It's 100% likely that I'll be starting with Rowlet so depending on how early in the game the Breeding Centre is, I could breed it and trade you one? Though I'm guessing I'll also need a Ditto as well. We'll see anyway but I'll help if I can.

Happy Birthday Daft! Here's a picture of Aqua Man... ...amidoingitright? :p

Oh yeah, that... I was more referring to the act of buying games and then not playing them but I think we can let you off in this instance seeing as you no doubt would have played it on the Wii if you could have done.

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.
