S.C.G

I tell you what, when Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition is announced as being available on the Nintendo Store, I'll pre-order two - assuming it's not one per customer, which shouldn't happen anyway with this - then if you want it I'll swap you it for your Amazon voucher - assuming it's for around the same amount as the game - then that way you get the game, I get the value of the game back which I'll then spend on Amazon and everyone's a winner. Anyway, let me know if you do manage to get it on Pre-order on Amazon but otherwise I'll go ahead with this unless there's a flaw in the plan I've overlooked, you and Flink have helped me out with game sales etc before so I'm always happy to return the favour. : peace:

A whole Year One of content planned out? That's both impressive and very presumptuous, this implies that Ubisoft expects people will be playing this for significantly longer than a year on a regular basis. While this may turn out to be the case, it could all still so easily flop could it not? Plus I think it all depends largely on how you spin in, is this just the latest case of a game being released ahead of schedule and then charging for some late content? Or is the Season Pass really to fund future content for the game? (Which just so happens to be already planned) Either way I hope that those who purchase it enjoy the experience enough to justify getting all this content but it just raises a lot of questions for me peronsally about the way games are being distributed these days. I'm not meaning to start any arguements, just making some observations from what I've seen of the game so far. : peace:

I'm still intruiged by this title, mostly for the visuals at this poiint though I must admit, I may go back and finish Sticker Star but the best thing about that for me was how that holographic sticker effect had been replicated on the 3DS screen. Though I must say, if a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was created in HD with the same level of detail seen here, I'd buy it in an instant.

A good selection, surely NOE aren't going to screw us over by not including the e-Reader stages though? The three for two deal better not be just something to soften the blow because we're getting an inferior version. I also find it amusing that the New 3DS now has the original Super Mario World so now the Wii U VC gets the enhanced GBA port... though it does have both versions now, I must admit though there's something special about the original SNES version which I love.

I'm glad to see you're mostly enjoying the game again but, about this bit... I thought that you could get something called a Poe Lantern in this version of Twilight Princess which allows you to search for them during the day? Though I have no idea where you get it from, I still haven't really properly started the game as I was playing Drill Dozer yesterday but it has definitely been documented that this item is in the game. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-02-04-everything-thats-changed-in-zelda-twilight-princess-hd Someone else who has it in-game can confirm this perhaps?

If I can purchase the game outright for £10 - £15 then it's an instant purchase. If it's anything like Pokémon Picross where it's free but I have to buy Tears of Light - instead of Picrites - to continue playing then it's a no.

Still, it only dips slightly in what seems to be certain areas which use specific graphical effects and we are only talking about a momentary dip down to around 25fps at its worst, barely noticeable. If anything, seeing all the versions side by side just further justifies purchase of the game - for me anyway - and I'm glad to be experiencing the game again in HD with various other enhancements. For it has been around ten years since I last played it afterall.

N-Europe Review Quite possibly the s-l-o-w-e-s-t review of FAST Racing NEO ever but... ...here it is anyway, for what it's worth. Enjoy! : peace:

A lot of artificial sweeteners can be even worse for you than sugar. I'm no expert on them, all I know is that I try to avoid anything artificial in food where possible. ---------------------------------------- On the topic of weight, I haven't lost any weight recently to my knowledge - which in my case is a good thing as there isn't much to me - but then I don't think I've put any on either, then again I should get back on Wii Fit or something and actually check I suppose. I feel OK though, generally better recently for eating well, keeping hydrated and although I don't go to the gym I do try and keep active throughout the day where possible but I always feel as if I could improve things further in my life a bit, ultimately though I don't feel too bad these days.

Gamecube VC games? :wink: Calling it now! : peace: I'm ever hopeful anyway... But in any case... Get Hyped! :awesome: If it does happen and we get NX details I expect Nintendo will outline just how we'll be able to play all VC games including GC on NX in enhanced form.

Go on then, sign me up for some insanity please.

Presumably you've gone long periods of time between playing it? I did and I had the same issue with the clock, apparently it's due to the internal battery and the more you use it, the longer the time will stay set. I've been playing mine every other day or so for the past few weeks and date/time settings have been retained. Also did you know that the Sega Dreamcast internal clock only goes up to 2085? And you can even set it as far back as 1950 if you so desire, there have been a lot of theories on why this is, the earlier date could relate to a time in Sega's early history when the company was moved to Japan in 1951 following the U.S Government starting to outlaw slot machines... this was news to me as well. :p But as for the 2085 date? Who knows... I'd like to be around to find out but I'm not entirely sure it would be either worth it or even viable to stick around until being a hundred just to find out, but it's an interesting thought at least... my betting is on the fact that it's a date set so far into the future that who knows if there will be any working Dreamcasts, Videogames, Technology or even much of this planet left by then. Yeah... I'm going to not dwell on it and go back to writing some reviews, but in any case that's your Sega trivia for the day!

I purchased my Sega Dreamcast brand new about fifteen years or so ago, it was fine but sadly mine has recently yellowed. It's a shame because I look after my consoles as well, it was out into storage with some of my other beloved consoles for a few years, in a clean plastic box, it has never been mistreated... I just got it out a few weeks ago and discovered that it wasn't quite the same colour as I remember. I'm going to have a go at cleaning it, just superficially - I'm not taking the case off and risking breaking a perfectly good working console - to see if I can make it look a bit better, I still love it though as it's a fantastic machine.

Another fantastic episode there. I enjoyed that sly reference to Project Justice Rival Schools 2... shush! as well It's actually on a certain auction site now but I thought I'd see if anyone from here wanted it first; it made for an amusing moment anyway so well done for useing it in the show.

Happy Birthday Goron_3 I hope you have a good day.

You can use a glitch but there is going to be a legitimate way to download Mew from an event using a code at some point.

Unlimited amounts of Rare Candies and Master Balls for all!

Are you after a copy now? :p The one I'm selling is cheaper than the cheapest Buy It Now on eBay and those aren't even complete! I've offered it to Nando via PM now too, so if either of you wants it then please let me know. Sod it... it's Project Justice: Rival Schools 2, someone would figure it out eventually anyway. I just didn't want to shout about it initially as I don't make a habit of buying more than one copy of a rare game, it just turned out that way so I thought I'd ask on the quiet to start with to see if there was any serious interest, then the talk here turns to DC and things... *spiralled. *Technically a swirl but nevermind!

I tend to go by previous feedback and then take a chance, most of the time it pays off, recently it hasn't or I've just blind-bid which isn't the wisest course of action, your way of doing things sounds much better but at least for DC games the cases can be replaced though it's sitll annoying, sometimes I get the feeling that even if I messaged the seller saying to wrap the game in bubble-wrap as well that they wouldn't listen anyway or if I messaged them after saying "the case is broken" that they wouldn't care... plus if it's a rare game then it's not as if they could replace it with another so I just replace the case then wash my hands of them. It shouldn't be the case though, when I sell stuff on eBay I always wrap stuff well even if the case already has cracks in it - which isn't often - as I want the game/item to get there still in reasonable condition. As for N64 boxes, a small, strong box with the game wrapped in bubble-wrap, another layer of cardboard, plus padding inside the box is the only way to ship them and it should be made law in my opinion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haha! A tenner? That would get you the inlays maybe but not game disc or manual... not even the case. I'm only after what I paid for it, well actually... it's technically less than what I paid for it but I'm going by the price of the slightly cheaper copy even though they are both in good condition.

The modern phrase "sorrynotsorry" has probably never been more appropriate. On the one hand I now feel bad as I didn't know you were still in N64 buying mode. But on the other hand... Dreamcast games! The one I had for offer is a pretty good one too but I understand you not wanting to buy it when your funds seem to be more invested in the Nintendo side of things currently, I still thought it only right to offer you first refusal though seeing as the title in question, you were partially responsible for making me want to buy it and I'm glad that I did... I just didn't realise that I'd end up buying it twice. This is what I've been doing recently as well, though I have been buying some Dreamcast games without boxes, as in some were sold with both box inlays - front and back - disc and manual... so they went a bit cheaper and I found a seller who was selling brand new Dreamcast cases in lots of six, £4 a case mind but I'm so glad I bought them now as it means I can put new cases on some of mine plus infuriatingly I have received really rare Dreamcast games through the post just chucked in an envelope with no protection! So a few of the new cases have to be used for those, the damage I'm talking about is the front hinge on the case just breaks clean off due to inadequate packing... it has happened a few times, it's why in some ways if I find a seller getting rid of lots of DC games I tend to buy a few at once as they seem to be packed better. I'll PM you the game I have for offer, it's not in your list and it is a rare one but I won't be asking quite the same as eBay might ask, I'll let you have it for the same price as I offered it to Hero for of course. : peace:

Or PPTSD... Post-Pokémon-Traumatic Stress Disorder I hear it can occur after having to cover Pokémon spin-off games for prolonged periods of time.

Just wait, we'll get everything in August now.

Well said Retro. +1 point It is true though... I try not to take part in it now, well as much as is possible... sometimes it can be hard not to get caught up in certain "discussions" - we'll call them that for now - because while they can become rather circular, it's frustrating to see most of them not go anywhere and end up in the same place. Such is the nature of a forum sometimes though as we thrive on information, once more solid details start to emerge I think this situation will improve. : peace: For now though... haven't you all got home consoles to go to? I know I for one have plenty of games to play/review without wishing for many more, speaking of which... *gets back to it*

That's almost a Freudian slip... From now on I shall refer to them as mini-game complications because at the very least it's a conceptually excellent term. Even for something created by accident.

I honestly don't know what to say MadDog other than I'm really sorry to hear this. It's probably not much consolation but if there's anything that I can do for you then just say or indeed if there is anything N-E can do for you then let us know and we'll do what we can. You're an amazing person, I know you'll likely shrug these words off but it's rare to see someone go through what you have and then carry on as though nothing is wrong... I recall when you originally posted here about what you'd been going through, we'd never have guessed either as the way which you view life is a true example to us all. These might be mere words, I know they can't change things but I hope they are at least of some comfort to you, as I do mean them and if you ever need to talk or are in need of anything then please don't hesitate to let me or anyone on N-Europe know as it's the least we can do for such a great forum member and more importantly a great person as yourself.
