Two of my favorite games on the DS. I approve.

Um... yes it is.

It'd be like the Final Fantasy numbering all over again!

Super Mario World was subtitled Super Mario Bros. 4 when it was released in Japan, so... wish granted?

Pfft, you're going to be living the good life for the next four (ish) years. Student loans, baby! I wish I was still a student. Now they just want their money back!

To be fair, it's been several years since I last used Amazon. And back in those days, they were expensive, and you had to walk for eight miles through waist-high snow before you could order from them. And it was all uphill, too. But yeah, thanks a lot for making me so tempted to get a 3DS. That's what my unemployed, poor self needs right now. :p Yeah, it can probably depend on a lot of different things. I like how VG+ lies about the value of the things you buy from them, but for larger orders they use a different shipping company that's become wise to their wily ways and they called me up early one morning demanding that I'd forward them the receipt. And I thought I was saving so much money! It really sucks when it's something you have to import from outside Europe, though. It pays not to be into obscure Japanese things.

Ugh, customs are the worst. Especially when I lived at my old address and they'd slap on a new address label after opening the package - but they wouldn't write the complete address. So the poor mailman never knew where to deliver the note you're supposed to get in your mailbox about how you have a package to pick up. Two weeks later, I'd get an angry note from the post office about how they'd really appreciate it if I'd pick up my package at some point. And then they'd have the nerve to demand taxes.

I tried adding something to my basket and going to checkout. The British VAT is included in the price, but any outstanding VAT will be added on checkout (or subtracted, presumably). So up to 5% for most items, which really isn't too bad. Only comes to about £4 for a 3DS. They also offer free shipping on international orders over £25 now. Clearly I need to start using Amazon again.

Yes, there is. It's 25% in Denmark!

Ashley is breast cancer. He also missed Cake Friday.

Man, Amazon is so misleading. You're all, "wow, that's a great price!" and then when you go to checkout, they add 25% VAT and you end not saving a penny and having to wait ages for whatever you ordered to be delivered. I only asked because the price reduction to £170 over here doesn't seem so tempting anymore when you can buy a 3DS for £115 in the UK.

I like the designs of the new characters, but now Pin looks pretty dull in comparison. The website's hosting sucks, by the way (or is it just me?). It took a full five minutes to load your latest link.

Awful game. Words can't even begin to describe how much I hated 358/2 Days. I think I even preferred Chain of Memories. At least that game was somewhat short. Though that could have been because I refused to replay the entire game as Riku after I finished it once. Out of curiosity, how much more expensive is the 3DS in Denmark compared to in the UK?

Probably because they're so good. Right? Shantae was at least GBA enhanced, and would give you a pretty useful extra form to morph into if you played it on a GBA.

You know how sometimes you open several threads in different tabs and just read them without really paying attention to which thread is which, but it's okay, because you can figure out which thread you're in just by reading the posts? Yeah, so, 'good stuff thread' was not the thread that came to mind when I read Raining's and Ashley's posts about what they have bought/plan to buy. And... congratulations, I guess? I'm not sure if that's the appropriate reaction to news like that. Maybe a high five would be better.

And now you know that the answer to this...

I never owned a GameBoy Advance. Or, indeed, any handheld system before the DS. But I have, of course, played most of the games on the system that you need to have played anyway. Both are excellent games, but they're GameBoy Color games, so it's not really fair to count them.

I think Nintendo should start developing games for the PlayStation 3.

Looks like the bubble is bursting. Not really surprising, considering past articles about Mad Men and Breaking Bad. This is why we can't have nice things. Here's the full article, since the post on SpoilerTV just links back to their website.

Ugh... In that case, I will pray to every deity I know of that Goafer drives safely and that you both make it to your destination safely. Your plan worked.

I played TimeSplitters 2 for the first time the year before last, in co-op with my brother. It was miles better than the first game, but it still wasn't all that good, to be honest. Maybe it was one of those "had to be there" kind of games. I can't speak for the multiplayer, though, so maybe that's what made the game so great and the only good thing about the single-player is that one level in the video.

You're just trying to offload your junk on me! :p

Just make sure he doesn't pick you up in his death trap, Peeps.

They obviously got married before they went into game development.

Well, this was just embarrassing.
