Wow... they stated "All Platforms" and they really meant it! :p

You finally got a full time job at SEGA? That must have taken you AGES! Sorrynotsorry Seriously though' date=' well done Will. You've achieved something I can probably only dream of. : peace: Even though obviously I love writing for the best independent Nintendo news site in the world in my spare time - which is something I don't want to change - to work for one of the companies who created some of my favourite games in existence on a full time basis AND get paid for it? It must be an amazing feeling. Psst... don't forget to give us an exclusive on what the new Sonic the Hedgehog anniversary game is going to be before it happens.

Assault Android Cactus sounds... interesting. :p But, it's just voting for one game, which will become one of the free games on Plus one month, which will get downloaded and added to virtual pile of titles yet to play; plus even then it won't be top of the list, before the free games I have titles which I've paid money for which will take higher priority. So yes, if I can be inclined to vote then I'll go for Assault Android Cactus purely because it falls somewhere within the twin-stick shooter genre which would go down well as an underappreciated plus game... which will then no doubt gain cult status somehow a few months down the line when someone finally plays it and then creates a thread saying "OMG! why did nobody tell me about this amazing game!!11!" or not.

Game ordered (PS4) New Fightpad ordered (Ken) Let's do this! (Hyped) : peace:

Those prices are all over the place, obviously good for anyone who hasn't bought any add on content so far but who plans to buy it all. A bit annoying to those who purchased it all seperately though each time, going through the download, update, load the game up twice process each time. How about a free VC game for our troubles Nintendo? Ultimate edition Super Smash Bros. confirmed for NX then.

I'm sorry to hear that Happenstance. Also, Happy Birthday... although it doesn't seem right typing it in the same post, it wouldn't be right not to wish you well even if you're probably not going to feel like celebrating. Surely your Nan would have wanted for you to have had a good Birthday though? I don't know what else to say, I was just earlier over at my Nan's house, celebrating her Birthday as well. We lost my Nan on my mother's side a good few years ago, so I try not to take these moments for granted as I know how it feels; anyway... if you need to talk then just say the word.

At that price you really might as well go for the fit meter and the game, get the most out of it.

Being that the fit meter is pre-owned you might need to get rid of the odd data on it or it might do that automatically when you sync it to the software. The free offer for Wii Fit U when you buy the fit meter expired aggggges ago, so you'll need to either buy the software physically or digitally. You have the balance board? That's good because you need it to get anything useful out of the software, I mostly play the balance games. Buy eet! : peace:

There already is a HD remaster of Okami... Granted it's digital only and on the PS3 - no good if you don't own a Sony machine - but well worth investing in. : peace:

No screenshot posting yet it has a miiverse community? That's just pointless, it's not as if screens of the game don't already exist on the internet so I don't see what S-E gain from this? Obviously games like Super Mario RPG won't be affected but if this is to be standard for S-E properties then it will be screen captures for those games I suppose, a shame because I found posting to miiverse then copy/pasting easier but oh well. This will be mentioned in its VC Weekly review for certain.

PS + or bust... Would play though, probably. : peace:

Only the Elephant (Man) in the room.

Available for pre-order on the Nintendo Store. You can STILL get a free 2016 calander (worth £7.99) with the following codes... KARTCALENDAR1 MARIOCALENDAR1 ZELDACALENDAR1 CROSSINGCALENDAR1 I've got a full set of them now.

TMNT, by Platinum, cel-shaded, 4 player online co-op and with Bebop and Rocksteady confirmed? Sold! :awesome: Well, sold unless something happens and it turns out to be trash but... this actually looks pretty damn good. I bet the Xbox One box art will look the best in this instance thanks to the green. Just saying...

It's more similar to Fire Emblem but with a top-down isometric perspective. If you like SRPG's and you enjoy a bit of Final Fantasy then you'll surely like it. What do you think? Are you going to dazzybee it dazzybee? I'm going to purchase it without hesitation! : peace:

I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle Martinist.

That HDD cover was awkward to remove when I installed a new hard drive in my PS4, that thing is never coming off my console for rest of its gaming life.

Go for it Josh, play Super Mario RPG... ...for the rest of yourrr gaming life! You won't regret it! : peace:

Will possibly play when it's free with Plus in a years time. It looks interesting but I don't feel compelled enough to play it on release or to pay for it on release. I hope it delivers for anyone who does pay full price for it though. : peace:

Gib European release plz... kthxbai!

The general populace might not care about the press conference either but by having the press conference, the media gets involved, word of mouth gets around quickly... it helps more than it hinders you surely have to admit? : peace: So long as the message is clearly put across as to what the machine is and what it can do, revealing the NX as part of a press conference can only be a good thing for Nintendo. I don't mind personally if they decide to reveal it in a direct or in a conference or both - though part of me would love to see them on form in a press confernce at E3 again - so long as the machine gets revealed and intentions are clear from Nintendo right from day one. Let's not forget that it has been a challening time for them recently as the loss of Satoru Iwata is certainly still being felt and will be for a very long time - from within the company and worldwide - but I'm sure that he wouldn't want all of his plans for the company's future to go unfulfilled; indeed I'm very sure they won't as it sounds like he had been planting seeds of change for some time and 2016 is surely the year in which they will begin to sprout... like Pikmin. NX is surely just the start of things to come, whatever happens I can't wait to see what the future brings for Nintendo as all I know is that I have a good feeling about it all.

When does everyone think the NX will be announced? I think a proper reveal around E3 time but I have a feeling that we'll have a Nintendo Direct sometime in... mid-March perhaps? Which will at the very least allude to more details.

Sounds about right, Hori are reknown for making some really excellent controllers over the years, some of them equally as good as official offerings. (they practically are almost official) While I don't think this pad will be their finest hour I think it will be worth owning for this game at least. I have one of those Hori Gamecube controllers for use with the GBA Player and GC fighting games, it's one of my favourites easily.

I really want to play through it for the first time. I've been sorting out my games collection this week and I've made sure that my PS4 games are in a more prominent place in the hope that I will actually play them soon. The Witcher 3 is right in the middle on the shelf so I can't miss it, with the expansion still sealed up with those lovely Gwent decks for after I finish the main game. I take it that I should not even redeem the dlc code until I've finished the main game being that it's an expansion? Unless it's more of a standalone thing which launches seperately to the game, either way main quest completion first I reckon. This year... I will play it this year, I have to! This feeling of shame shall be lifted!

I can't wait to play this again! It has been a while since this was released on the Wii VC as well, interestingly it will be the first time it has been reviewed in VC Weekly as well because N-E didn't start reviewing the games on a regular basis until a few months after the launch of the Virtual Console. We'll soon set that right though. : peace: Also, as an aside I can't wait to play proper battle mode again.
