I'm sure you voiced your opinion of her friends with her best interests in mind? (That's not meant to come across as controlling but more concerns for her in general) : peace: It's not as if you said to her "I don't want you seeing your friends!" or anything like that... because that would be pretty bad. If she's really willing to break up with you over this then perhaps that says more about her than you being labeled as "the bad guy" all of a sudden. Disclaimer - I don't feel like I'm that good at giving out advice, especially where matters of the heart are concerned but I felt like I should say something rather than just remaining silent, so I'm trying to help, if anything comes across in the wrong way to anyone or as offensive then just know that's not my intention as I'm often misunderstood in socially motivated situations such as this. TL;DR - I'm trying to help, please don't be hating but point out if I've said something accidentally out of turn, I'm learning here.

Would you actually be happy using a split D-Pad when playing single-player platformers though? This is assuming that the D-Pad does turn out to be similar to the - very crude - drawing of the layout which would mean that they would not only not look like a D-Pad but probably not function very well as either a D-Pad or standalone buttons as a result. I'm thinking worst-case scenario here in that this compromised D-Pad wouldn't even be as good as the one on the Dual Shock 4 - which isn't even my favourtie D-Pad as it is - and would be a really poor substitute for what we already have on the Wii U gamepad or Pro Controller. Unless it emerges that Nintendo have made their own take on a transforming D-Pad then I can't see it working. Surely it will be a big deal if it turns out to be one big compromise? I really hope it doesn't though... man, I hate playing the waiting game for so long.

I sure as hell don't want a compromised D-Pad for the sake of it being used a makeshift face buttons when used in sideways orientation upon seperation of the controllers. Plus the D-pad placement for when using the device as a whole is all wrong, you'd want it to be in line as much as possible with the face buttons on the other side, not diagonally alligned, unless it's going to be GameCube sized again in which case you'd need another bespoke seperate controller. Come on Nintendo... these rumours are doing more harm than good at this point surely?

You can buy One Piece on DVD? That's over 750 episodes long now apparently... I stopped watching at around episode 351 though I've always thought about going back to it one day. : peace:

Not forgetting the portable titles as well, both Oracle titles were essentially based off the same mechanics as Link's Awakening DX, what's more each title turned out very nicely indeed. It was even meant to be a Triforce Trilogy at one point... http://www.zeldainformer.com/articles/nintendos-forgotten-legend-of-zelda-mystical-seed-of-courage1 There's still plenty of scope for the series yet. What if... Breath of the Wild only turns out to be part of a larger map? In similar fashion to that of the Elder Scrolls series... Fans have already created various takes on what it might look like, perhaps similar to this... I suppose it doesn't all really need to fit together but it's just a thought. : peace:

Revival - Metroid 5 Continuing where Metroid Fusion left off, takes Samus back to her 2D roots but with the most amazing art style imaginable in HD, brand new planet to explore, incorporates all of the advancements the series has made including all of the Prime games but carrying over in a meaningful way to two-dimensional play. :awesome: Crossover - Pocket Monster Hunter Pokémon crossed with Monster Hunter, so much potential. Exclusive - Phantasy Star Online 2: NX Edition After many long years of waiting, Europe finally gets a console version of PSO2 tailored to the NX, it would contain either all of the content released to date or a trimmed-down version with all of the best bits and none of the extra micro-transactions... subscription or bust! This or PSO in HD or Phantasy Star V... not that I'm asking for much.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Shorty's in a good mood, Don't make him ban you. Seriously though, I'm really happy for you Shorty.

Keeping the hyper-speed hype craft running. These new tracks can't arrive soon enough. : peace:

Yep, I'll be there just after 8PM, got some DIY to assist with but it shouldn't take too long. Hopefully I'll be online at 8:05PM or something like that. ------------------------------------------------------ Yep, I got dc'd again on Frozen Seaway quest. I did get some Novacrystal though, still in the quest, figured I may as well attempt to defeat the Khezu so I can at least keep the items, so I'll probably stay offline now unless anyone is staying on for much longer? (10PM usually seems to be the latest) Thank you for the help though @Hero\-of\-Time, @Glen\-i & @RedShell I really appreciate it and I'm glad that I was able to hopefully help a bit on the Metroid quest. I did mount it at least once... and cut its tail off in one of the runs I think, plus it didn't K-O me so... yay!

There seems to still be a video still live embedded in this article... http://www.vg247.com/2016/08/23/ps4-slim-take-a-closer-look-at-the-console-and-the-new-dualshock-4-controller-in-this-unboxing-video/ ...Until it's probably taken down as well. On closer inspection it doesn't look too bad, I still prefer the original, no light bar on the console in this revision - it's underneath the moved power button instead - though the extended light bar in the controller is a nice touch.

I'll likely be available from 7:30PM, potentially slightly earlier, keen to get back into the hunt though.

So that leaves you with... Jetpac Refuelled Sega Vintage Collection - Monster World Sonic CD Zuma I purposely gave you eight options, knowing full well you'd probably be able to discount half of them straight away. OK, here's my reasonings for the titles above... Jetpac Refuelled - update of a classic Rare title with an amazing visual style and an excellent soundtrack in addition to being really fun to play. SVC - Monster World - three titles within the same series - technically in this case - for one low price and one of them just happens to be the up until then not even released over here Monster World IV. Sonic CD - the now definitive version of the title which was only really available on the Mega CD and PC in the first place for ages, contains fan-developed extras, think of it as a prelude to Sonic Mania. Zuma - just a really addicitive, fun, cheap puzzle game, get the sequel too if you like it. And if you don't like any of those titles, I could probably come up with some more suggestions. : peace:

Nice to see the voice cast behind it all. Spoiler though near the end! Presumably it's something that happens early on and it doesn't bother me so much but still, probably plenty of people who won't want to see it. Stop watching at 4:23 if you want to avoid it.

Goafer's pretty much got it sussed... In the unlikely event that the two-pronged car attack fails though... ...erm, just open with something like... "Hi there, I see you're also interested in Cars - or insert relevant interest - what's your favourite?" Yeah, I really have no clue. If all else fails, break out a picture of your Fire Emblem collection. :awesome:

I haven't been back since I played this twice... for a total of less than three hours? Though I can see myself going back to it at a later date - I have plenty of other games to play - I am in two minds whether or not just to sell it if I haven't played it again within the next say... three weeks. It feels like a game which would be better with a few updates, so I'll hold out for now... plus the colour of the spine does look lovely in my PS4 game collection, so there is that. Sadly it just hasn't grabbed me in a "must play this for "X" hours every night" kind of way, I didn't even go in with very high expectations either. Being that this is what I last posted though... I'll keep it for now.

Nice for those who don't already have a PS4, I wondered how long it would take for a revision to come out. Just like the Xbox One revision though, I intend to keep my original machine for as long as possible. I also think the original design is better personally, this new model looks... cheaper, but then I suppose that's the point. Should net Sony a few - million - more sales though, I wonder if it makes games perform ever so slightly better as well, an extra three or five frames perhaps? Again unintentionally like the Xbox One newer model, nothing game-changing though.

If anyone is hunting later tonight then I just wanted to say that I'm back in the hunt for a bit after having a week off from it so that I could play some fantastic GameCube multiplayer games with my brother who was down for the week. Much merriment was had as Mario Kart Double Dash!!, Mario Party 4 and TimeSplitters 2 were played so that's as good an excuse as any! I'll probably be around from 7:30PM... ish or so. Everyone will have overtaken me by now no doubt but it's OK, I don't have any real goals at this point other than getting that damn Novacrystal - gotta unlock that Frozen Seaway and generally advancing but I'm happy playing any quests to just help out generally. : peace: ------------------------------------------------- It's around 7:30PM and I'm catching up with other 3DS backlog titles for the moment, but if anyone is about at any point in the evening and wants to hunt just give me a shout.

Everything that we didn't get from the series over here for whatever reason... Just work it into the new game or at the very least give us both BS F-Zero titles.

Looking good! Second track makes me thing of Big Blue from F-Zero.

Why would anyone volunteer to try that out... More to the point, why would anyone make such a device? The game still looks good on its own merits but that peripheral is clearly a (nasal) bridge too far.
