Suddenly I want the wolf Amiibo having seen it in the game.

Eurogamer also suggested that there is a pro controller only option. So motion controls aren't mandatory and perhaps the NX won't have a second screen. Toms impressions here http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-14-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-is-the-most-ambitious-nintendo-game-in-years

Spiderman and Sea of Thieves. Shame you have to have two systems to buy them both.

That does look brilliant. White spider symbol though?

RUNBOW This game came out last Thursday and after some positive impressions on IGN NVC and RFN I thought I would take a punt and it is a very good game. But first, some details: Trailers: Screnshots: Reviews: Destructoid 9/10 NWR 9/10 ShackNews 9/10 NintendoLife 9/10 The game itself is pretty simple. It is a 2D platforming running race, with the first to the goal the winner. It has controls a bit like Smash Brothers and Power ups a bit like Mario Kart. During the game the background changes colour every few seconds and if the platform your character is on is the same colour you will fall through. The game supports up to 9 players, locally or online and up to four players can go online from the same console. The main action of the game is the running platformer game, but there are also arena fighting and a king of the hill style game. The developers have also done a deal with other indy devs and so there are characters in the game from most of the recent indy games that have had a Wii U version. (Including Shovel Knight, Scram Kitty, Mutant Mudds, etc.) It is a blast in the multi-player online or locally and it only costs 10.99. If you have a Wii U and someone else to play with on or offline this is defeinitely worth a punt! Finally, the music is excellent. I can only describe it as 'caper' music but it fits the running very well. Anyway, what do people think? Anyone else got it? If you are a Wii U only gamer then a new online experience is surely a tempting proposal?

New 3DS only though I think.

Hmm. Not really seeing the appeal of this either. The IGN and Eurogamer reviews were not exactly glowing either - a good concept but a bit shallow. From eurogamers review:

I think climbing has the potential to be quite fun in conjunction with the (double?) hookshot and swinging rope items from previous games. Plus, the Zelda games have always used steep cliffs as boundaries for the edges of the game world. To be able to scale and climb over those boundaries will be interesting from a gameplay point of view and from a technical point of view to see what replaces them as the boundary of the world. Sea?

This cable for the Wii would connect your Wii U to an SD tv: https://www.amazon.co.uk/OEM-WII-041-2MX-p-Cable-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B000ZM4IQK I use the same to connect to an SD-only projector.

I wonder how different it would be now?

I am playing classic/hard as I did with awakening and I also have found it much harder than awakening. I think there are two main reasons for this: * Stat updates on level up seem much more unlikely compared with awakening. * The enemies can double team you. (Which was frankly OP in awakening) P.S. @S\.C\.G - get to it.

In that case I think you have to wait to get the correct parents, I suppose. If the paralogue is already open though, you have already committed to their skills and so you might as well play it immediately. There seems to be a way to 'buy' skills from the castle (and you can get a discount if you scan the internet and fight another persons castle). On Ryoma's child one you can fly and use rescue, but that still puts your stave user in harms way, where it is very difficult to get others into the fight. If you are playing on classic and you leave the level too late (such that the child cannot survive more than one turn) then getting him and preventing anyone else from dying can be very tricky.

Bump! Getting to the end of Birthright now, but I have played a bit of revelations to help out my daughter. Made me realise the answer to your question @S\.C\.G - started playing yet? :p

Glad it arrived safely! I also urge you to play and complete all three games (starting with Birthright). Once I have started with these it is pretty much impossible to stop!

Mine came yesterday. I have only played for a hour or so, but it seems like a very highly polished game. It going to be a struggle for us though as both my Wife and Daughter want to play as well.

It made me feel like it might be a (CG) cartoon. I did not get the sound though - so that might have added to the feels.

I think I am intending to start with Birthright because it might be more difficult to go back to having played the more complex Conquest/Revelations. James Jones from Radio Free Nintendo started on Birthright though and and was a bit put off by how easy it was. It may have even put him off trying the others. I don't think I could be put off a Fire Emblem game though, so that is not a problem.

I got that deal but there is a hidden downside - the full battery does make the gamepad much heavier. For an already heavy device it is a bit of an issue. It means I would much rather play with the light as a feather pro controller instead.

Got my shipping email for the special edition from the Nintendo UK store. Apologies to anyone that missed out.

Six is definitely my favourite. Kefka is a psychopath rather than an idiot surely? Although I admit it is also a long time since I played it.

15th July with its own special edition New 3DS: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/05/monster_hunter_generations_launches_on_15th_july_with_a_limited_edition_new_3ds_xl

What is the online like in that? Anyone know if it is any good?

I was a big fan in the days of the Bends and Ok Computer but not so much since. I tried listening to some of the songs from the new album and they did not immediately grab me. Having done that I went back and listened to come others from Kid A and Hail to the Thief and enjoyed them a lot, which I had not previously liked. What are the best songs on the new album in you opinion?

That video does look good - why not just release it. No other cars on the track I suppose.
