I had an email from Base.com recently, my preorder is there, telling me to expect this game on June 24th. But, if it isn't from Nintendo's mouth, then I don't believe it.

Finally the image for the cover of 153: Heavy Hangs The Head

Xeno X is so good, and so is BoxBoy! The amount of inventive ideas within each new puzzle mechanic they use is awesome by itself. I'll search for the Power Pros too, Thanks @Hero\-of\-Time

It's 34.95 here

I'd be a lot more interested if they had some sort of local co-op mode, playing through the single player missions with a partner would be so much fun.

Totally happened to me, too. Their ability to resurrect their corpses after every turn, made that fight more of slog than the bosses before them. No problems with any of the bosses, just the shinies.

Living in a block of flats, and the fastest connection available is 2MB, all Nintendo online games, e.g. MK8, are unplayable with constant disconnections and horrendous lag, but I have no problems with 3rd party online games like COD or Monster Hunter. Can only stream SD videos on Youtube, and as most these days only include HD videos its fucking annoying to wait 20 seconds then watch 5 seconds of video, and repeat. So I don't stream. Just wish I could have a faster connection. Just downloading the extra packs for Xenoblade X took me over 14 hours (for about 11GB). Oh well, one day it'll get better.

Inside Out is featured in the main PlaySet content, but all other figurines from all Infinity's work in the Toy Box create and download user generated mode. WiiU/PS4? I don't know?

Spent the best part of the weekend playing this in local 2-player co-op with my son. It really is nice to just sit back and, mine and craft, we got a decent sized house built, a deep mine underway, and a little farm, with 2 pigs, a cow and wheat growing. 5 hours in and we're both addicted, but I couldn't play it on my own. This is one for families and co-op playing. Tried to connect online to see how it's going and couldn't find a single other player?? Maybe it'll get better in time.

I really love to play Monster Hunter 4 online, and whilst I don't do that often enough, every single time it's a blast. All other games I've played online are affected by lag or disconnects at one time or another. There is obvious lag in MH4, but it doesn't affect the game in the slightest, and once a connection is up, it stays connected for me. Other notable delights were MK7 (still can't get MK8 stable), Call of Duty Ghosts, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Will pick it up after Mario and Luigi: Paper Bros. gets finished.

I haven't quite finished, but I'm working my way through the Nintendo World Report's Telethon podcast in aid of the Child's Play charity. The future of NX etc with Jose Otero was a highlight of an hour, so was the 'business' section. While most of it is informative and a laid back listen, two contributors rubbed me up the wrong way. The 2 ladies, Kim and ?Kate?, what a nightmare. Talking about Games they love to hate, they'd name a game, and then, like, say, like what's up with that? It's totally lame, like, like, do not buy that, like. I told a friend, like, don't buy it, like, but she totally bought it, like, and like, she totally, like, didn't like it, and I was like, see I told you not to buy it, like, like. Jesus they must have a collective IQ of 6, and had nothing to add to any intelligent conversation of why a game they disliked fell into that category. Just, like, I hate it, like. I tortured myself for the full hour of listening to the word like 1,000 times to see if anything resembling an intelligent idea of game design reared it's head, and I can confirm, it didn't. So vacuous. Even Josh's ramblings on Hey Pikachu! voice app for the Wii U opening Porn hub couldn't save this.

Love the haircut...gave me goosebumps of joy at the end.

Mine just got delivered, too. That's the quickest something has been sent from the UK. They must have posted it well early. Well happy, post some thoughts after my first protracted play.

I'm more than ready for SteamWorld Heist this today, and the NintendoLife review hasn't done anything to dampen my enthusiasm; 9/10 SteamWorld Heist Review

I'm like a totalitarian government. All his Nintendo news comes via my filtering ;P No Christmas in Taiwan, though we will open a few presents, and we do have a small tree up. Christmas Day is a Friday, and is just a normal day of school and work for us. Chinese New Year in February, this year, is the time for Winter vacation and festive resting. Good idea though, so I'll definitely get it, but will surprise him on Boxing Day with it.

This is big news for me...not owning a good PC or any other consoles, and with a 9 year old son, this is going to be awesome in 2 player local mode. Well stoked. Add in online, if others buy, and this will serve for the entire year for family coop games.
