Doooooo Wannnnnnt! I love shmup's!

Happy Birthday!

Nothing... but I just like the option of being able to use the pro controller as it's more comfortable for longer play sessions. Also I just had a thought... does this mean that you could also use the classic controller with it too? Probably not but that would have been awesome for me as I have a Club Nintendo SNES pad that would make the experience even better, I already know the answer though due to the lack of certain buttons which are barely used anyway.

Wait... so I can finally now play the game without being forced to go with the gamepad - rather large - or play with the wii remote - slightly cumbersome - and actually play it with the pro controller, just like I should have been able to from day 1? Good times are ahead! In all seriousness though I am kind of glad that I got to play NSMBU with the gamepad first I suppose, but this will just make playing New Super Luigi U all the more awesome!

I guess you'll have to 'improvise' until you get a watering can then... Nah, but seriously, I haven't got my watering can yet either, or my axe, would be nice to have them though but guess I'll just have to keep playing.

Unless you were interested in the ones I have for sale... Or as you say, you could wait for more 3DS XL deals to come around, but the offer's there anyway. : peace:

I got some Pikmin in a flower pot from my fortune cookie ticket, well pleased!

Happy Birthday!

I just work at my local Supermarket... They're quite good at looking after their staff though, you can get a 'standard' cup of tea or coffee for free in the staff room from the drinks machine, there are more 'specialist' coffee's available but they're something like 40p? - subsidised rates - which is much more reasonable than £3... I tend to just bring my own teabags though which still work out at less than 5p for a cup of decent tea.

Wine - I enjoy the odd glass of wine with a meal, I very rarely buy it myself but if it's 'there' then I will drink it but it's not something that I could consume a lot of. I don't really have a favourite as I find that there is very little difference in wine to me once you get to spending around £10 on a bottle. Jazz - Now, I hear you on this one... I do like Jazz but I've never really ever been able to understand it so I've just come to the conclusion that while Jazz is nice, it will only ever be background music for me. Tea - *sips cup of tea* this must just be one of those things that's down to culture, in England we seem to drink a lot of tea, now I do actually like tea myself - evidently - but I have to wonder... if I was born elsewhere in the world, would I actually be that 'into' tea? I suppose it helps that you can get a lot of good teas over here, if it's just a case of you've only ever tried 'cheap' tea then I could understand why you wouldn't like it, but if you're saying that you've tried a reasonable brand of tea - such as Twinings - and you still don't like it... then yes, I'd definitely just put it down to being one of those cultural things. Dancing - Yes... I've never quite 'got' dancing, I've tried it, I suppose it can be fun but at the same time I'm rather apathetic towards it. Social Sim Games - Games like 'The Sims' I can quite happily avoid like the plague but as someone who has just purchased the new Animal Crossing game on 3DS, I can honestly say that for that game alone it is most definitely 'the Nintendo difference' as when they make games, they always turn out 'better' regardless of what your preconception of that particular genre may be. Take Pikmin for example, I'd never really been 'into' RTS games - partially because I didn't 'get' them - and yet that game 'clicked' for me. So yes, I agree on 'sim' games, just not Animal Crossing... which reminds me, the shop should have opened in-game as it's gone 10am now. *loads up AC* Concerts - I've been to a few concerts/festivals, the best was probably Sonisphere when it was in its first year, it was a great experience as I got to see a lot of memorable bands but yet... not all of them were as good Live, would I go again? Probably not... it is a lot of money, but I'm glad that I've actually had the experience of going to a proper festival. Gyms - Again, I don't have a problem with people who want to work out... there's nothing wrong with that, but I do think it's bad when people try and push that kind of life-style on you, when you clearly don't want it. Them: 'Do you go to the gym?' Me: 'No' Them: 'why not?' Me: 'because I don't want to? I also just put it down to, I'll never understand some people. ------------------------------------- As for other things that I personally don't understand... Costa Coffee - Why would I actually choose to regularly spend £3.50 on one coffee when I'm on the way to work say... when I could just wait and have one on my break - or a nice cup of teat - for free? When you consider that you can buy a whole tin of decent coffee for less than £4 I just can't fathom why so many people will willingly spend up to £150+ a year on coffee when they are out - calculation based roughly on having one almost every day - when it's not even that great? Perhaps people just really like the customer service there or something... or enjoy being sat in a packed cafe as they have nothing better to do, I just don't understand it If it's every now and then, that I can accept but not all the time. :wink: *goes off to make a decent but reasonably priced coffee* Rubbish Films - I realise there is the issue of 'subjectivity' here but there are some films which are just universally shit, you can argue to the death that they aren't if you want but this still doesn't change the fact that they are awful in some way. Yet people still buy them? I'll try not to give too many examples so as to avoid de-railing the thread but recently... Battleship surely this is a film that most of us can agree on that is just rubbish, I still saw quite a few people buying it for full price at retail; personally I don't understand it... perhaps the film has some redeeming feature that I'm not aware of or maybe, it's just shit. Even so though I still can't understand why anyone would want to see that one film when there are so many 'better' films available. It's going to happen again when 'After Earth' gets released on blu-ray/dvd, I just know it, but I'll leave it there as I'm not here to argue. Drinking - I'll never understand why people actively want to drink themselves to death... sure I've been drunk a few times but not to the extent where my life is in danger, so yeah... I will basically never understand why people feel that they absolutely 'have to' drink to excess, especially if you have a problem, but a relatively small one and then just use that as an excuse. The only time when I might be able to comprehend it a little is if something really catastrophic has happened that changes your life but even then, there are other ways... ones less self-destructive. There are plenty more things that I don't understand but I'll just leave it there before I accidentally 'backspace' this post and then I'll be like... 'I don't understand why I didn't copy this to the clipboard'

Interestingly, this means that both the PS4 and Wii U have similar coloured blue boxes, where the Xbox One has dark green cases; making the divide even clearer. I know it wasn't planned like that but it's a good thing.

Sorry Blade, I've just now added you!

Up... I only actually got around to seeing this lats Christmas when it was on BBC one - so no ad breaks - and I must say that I did enjoy it. Masterpiece? I wouldn't go that far. Overrated? Perhaps just a tad To me it's merely an enjoyable film, what's wrong with that? : peace:

Ahahahaha! And that's exactly why I love Nintendo.

Some people are never satisfied... ... even I'll admit that there were a few things extra that I wanted to see and that just didn't appear but even so I thought it was a pretty solid showing. All Nintendo need to do now (and I really hate reiterating these points) is the following... Get more Wii U bundles into stores Keep up the momentum of game releases Mario Galaxy 3 or Universe by mid-2014 Metroid Prime 4 by end of 2014 New ip? Or another revived one by next year Unify the accounts VC releases... give us more please Zelda... the 'next' proper home console game by 2015 Aside from that, I'm reasonably happy for now.

That looked ridiculous... ... ridiculously good that is, oh yeah! Bayonetta 2 is looking damn fine! :awesome:

Mega Man!!! Oh my... that trailer was certainly something. I genuinely cannot wait!

Mario Kart in HD? Hell-a-yes! Personally I'm glad that Nintendo are doing the right thing in keeping it back until 2014, it's sure to be the best game it can possibly be when it releases because of it.

All I have to say about the reaction to this title at the moment... ...Meeeeeeeeooow! :p But seriously, I know Nintendo said 3D Mario, so naturally we were all expecting something like Super Mario Galaxy... this is still something pretty damn awesome though. Mario + Cats = win! Plus... Playable Peach!!!

So is it just me that actually likes the look of this then? More portable Zelda, can't wait! : peace:

Moar Donkey Kong Country is always good news I know we all wanted Metroid or Starfox or... something else but can't we just be happy for now?

Well I enjoyed it. Still want a unified account system though, c'mon Nintendo!
