Drat, I'm still trying to log-in to finish off my final few stars, but it freezes when I try to look at the Stars Catalogue. Ah well, I'd gotten everything I wanted, it was just a final push to use up my last remaining ones. I wonder how long before they announce its replacement...?

Haha, that's really similar to what I used to do! In the early days they even had a leaderboard of those who had the most. I was so pleased as at one point I was 3rd (It really was that sad that I was actually pleased about this!). Yeh the majority of items were just throwaway oddities, but it did have a few gems in there. I'm thankful to the scheme as I got my VIP DS through it before it was released in the UK, got to attend the 3DS demonstration event in London, and my New 3DS from it! Yes for every soundtrack, I wasted stars on Cooking Guide oven cloths & easily breakable DS box book-ends! Haha! Oh well, I started on Day 1 and now managed to order my Goodbye coin and Endings soundtrack at the very end. They didn't have to do anything for their customers, but thanks Nintendo for giving us the scheme.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's this "N-Box" rumour?

They really are! :-) Brilliant game and follows on nicely from 999. I'm thrilled they're now making another title in the series and I agree it's probably one of more obscure and cult games on the 3DS.

I can't wait! Some of the players are just ridiculous, and it's great to see how easy they make some of the games I played as a kid! Definitely worth tuning in for! The commentary the players give is always a little hit or miss - some are charismatic and give interesting / funny commentary, others are... just not as interesting.

Besides the farewell coin, do we know if there's anything else they've advertised that is yet to be added?

Devastating news. Some wonderful tributes to a great man. He contributed a huge amount to the gaming industry and to the games I enjoy. My deepest sympathies to his friends and family. A sad sad day.

There were many many times last season I thought they'd get rid of Pearson, but in all fairness they stuck with him & they stayed up. Seems a little odd to me that they've only now decided to replace him!

I know! Add in the Final Fantasy VII remake plus the (provided it's not a hoax) finding of a prototype Sony Nintendo console), it's as if the wishes of gamers are finally starting to come true! Now all we need is a Pokemon MMORPG, Beyond Good & Evil 2, and Half-Life 3 and I think the Internet will explode with the sheer excitement and anticipation of gamers!

Yeah I'm with you Rummy. I would absolutely love this to be real, but I'm going to remain on the side of caution. I can't believe we haven't seen any prototypes or anything for all these years until now.

Awesome news! I absolutely can't wait! Hopefully they release it over here too, although with an English language option and voices I can't see why they wouldn't.

Yep, all done, best of luck Mark! The website you run looks good too, wish I'd've had something like that when I finished Uni.

It's been delayed a little longer on PS4... :-( Looking forward to reading the impressions of Book 3 though, hope it's good!

The Kickstarter's been a wonderful success for these guys & hopefully it's brought attention to the appeal that's still out there for a good 3D plat former. Rare had such a great reputation from the N64 days & so many people are disheartened with where they are now. Well done to Playtonic Games. I'm sure they can do the support proud, and I can't wait to play it!

This is such a clever way of promoting a game. Between the Treehouse and the Championships I'm sold on just hoe exciting (Super) Mario Maker could be!

It seems more of a mini-game as opposed to a fully fledged title. It does seem quite fun, but will need online multiplayer to stand any chance.

I'm enjoying watching the 200cc vs 150cc comparison videos that Nintendo are showing through sites such as Facebook. You can really see the difference in speed! The F-Zero track is suddenly looking much closer to it's source material!

Drat, they've come and gone again! On the plus side, my Super Smash Bros CD arrived yesterday!

It's terrific that they've decided to redo this classic for the new consoles and up-to-date PCs. Like Jimbob I need to clear some of my backlog first, but I'm looking forward to revisiting this enjoyable adventure. Hopefully this will continue the vein of getting other classic point and click games to be remade. Monkey Island got the repackaging spot on, here's hoping for more Day of the Tentacle, Toon Struck & Indiana Jones! (I'm not too worried about The Dig mind!)

May seem a daft question but what devices can you watch everything on? Once you sign up can you then watch it from any device? I'm keen to get to for the Rumble, but won't be able to stay up live so hoping I can watch it replayed at some point the next day, so guess I need to check how that works, unless someone knows?

Happy Birthday there fella!

Wow the event was terrific and raised over $1m for charity. Some of those runs were incredible & I enjoyed seeing some of the game designers get involved as well, whether through commentary or fielding questions about their game. The commentaries are good as well, explaining tips on the games or how certain tricks work, even if the quality of the commentators can be a bit hit or miss at times. Some of those runs are definitely worth a recap via YouTube.

That's brilliant news that it's coming back. I'm a little disappointed that it looks to pitching it to an even younger audience than before, but it's always nice to see an 'old friend'. Like others have said, A-Double is a great choice as a replacement to voice DM.

Drat. Can I wait that long....? Cheers for that Sméagol, appreciate the response.

I absolutely loved the 1st two games and, like many others, have been waiting for the third game to follow up on the story that had left me with so much intrigue. Plus, it's one of the few games in which my other half got into and enjoyed as well! She'll be delighted to know it's now out and a game we can actually enjoy together. Pleased to see so e good first impressions. Does anyone know if this is out on PS4 yet or whether a release date has been set?
