Mario Kart DLC looked very nice, glad we have a date for pack 1 now too.

Finally started playing my copy of Wind Waker HD after owning it all this time:

ugh yeah just saw that.

WWE have removed the Six Month Commitment for the WWE network: Also it'll be free in November: http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork/free-in-november-26763463 Related:

I think this could be great. Alexander Armstrong, like you said, is a fantastic choice for DM

i picked up DKC on the Wii U eshop last night, just couldn't resist.

confusingly, WWE's site lists it as Thursday nights at midnight so maybe Mondays is a repeat of that.

Shown before Raw on Monday nights

dang, I was hoping to use the thing with Mario Kart 8

There was Nintendo magazine system which launched in 1992 (and at some point along the way renamed themselves Nintendo official magazine), which ended in 2006. A different publishing house took on the official name and launched Official Nintendo Magazine from there.

I think remember that Shadowman feature, didn't they get a psychoanalyst to look at each of the 5 killers in the game or something? I also remember a feature they did, trying to explain what Pokemon was about and why i was so popular in Japan, back when it was this strange new craze taking off over there. Also this:

haha me too. I actually used to enjoy reading their reviews for low scoring games because of how funny they were at expressing how bad a game was. The different features they ran each month were pretty great too.

Yeah N64 magazine was fantastic. I was worried my wardrobe would do the same, as that's where I keep mine but it seems to have held up. There are a few sites out there with scans of all these old issues if you ever feel like reading them again.

I never took to this magazine as much as Nintendo Magazine System, but I used to buy it during the Wii heyday. It's sad to me when a magazine closes because i used to spend so much time reading video game magazines as a teenager, so this feels like part of my hobby disappearing. But as a few people have said, its just a sign of the times, we can get all of this information online every day so this is something inevitable .

Yeah I remember in the late Gamecube days they had a few games, my copy of Donkey Konga 2, complete with Bongo's came from the Stars Catalogue

I didn't care much for tonight's episode, i was actually disappointed by it. However, the argument/exchange of words between Clara and the Doctor at the end was so well done and was one of my favorite moments in the series.

Got exactly the same problem, all we can do is wait it out.

New firmware update has added Folders

there's a site to go with this, lets you mix and match the faceplates: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/kisekae/index.html#/top

I happened to check the daily log option on the Wii U and was surprised to see how much of my time is spent watching Netflix or Amazon video:

Looks like Nintendo JP are selling background themes for the 3DS: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/theme/list/index.html

Not sure what has happened but last night I got disconnected while playing online and since then i can't seem to play an online race without getting an Error Code (103-9999) which then shuts the Wii U off. Every other online feature on my console seems to be working fine (browser, eshop, Netflix and Amazon Instant Video) so I'm a little confused as to what the problem could be. Is this happening to anyone else here?

oh that's awesome, I can't wait for these already!

Yeah, that's been happening to me a lot recently too. This happened last night for example: Kinda hoped it would hit at midnight tonight but nice that they put out a time table of when to expect it.

I can't really argue with what he's saying here. They released Assassins creed on the Wii U and hardly anyone bought it, meanwhile Just dance is selling well on the Wii U and the Wii, so the audience is pretty clearly telling them what they want.. Its not really insulting, just the reality of the situation.
