Anybody had games dispatched from Tesco Direct? I'm still waiting on them sending Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed.

Zavvi are still yet to post my order of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 U. I've used them in the past and they were pretty good. I don't think you'd receive it by Friday now though. I'm out until early hours of Friday so I'd need to arrange for someone to be in tomorrow. So I could have done with knowing today. Still says 'Not Found'

My TNT tracking number still hasn't activated.

Oh wow. This is awesome. I think I'll go for Layton. I did consider Freakyforms Deluxe but I was actually planning on getting Layton after Christmas.

I've had my dispatch email too. Also, on the subject of pre-paying, it does clearly say that it doesn't give you preference.

I doubt it. These consoles were probably all boxed up weeks ago.

Bah, I'd have bought one of these if it still played Gamecube games.

If my youngest nephew is around we'll probably play on Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed before going onto New Super Mario Bros. U. After he's gone home in the afternoon, I'll probably have a look at the eShop before trying Nintendo Land and playing a few games of Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Then as the evening progresses it's time to try out ZombieU.

I did notice the multiplayer comments but the only time I'd touch that side of the game would be trying to get into a few games with the people here. I'm still slightly interested in the game because of the way it allows local multiplayer to take place on the Gamepad and TV screen plus the ability to use the Wii Remote for aiming. I just don't think I can justify a £40 spend on it when I'm already getting five games at launch.

Ouch. Thank you for posting that, it's made up my mind about not pre-ordering the game.

I believe Pikmin and The Wonderful 101 are early next year while Lego City Undercover is 'Christmas'.

Ever since the Wii U and games were up for pre-order I've had ZombiU, NSMB, Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3 and Lego City pre-ordered. Obviously, two of those aren't launch games but I still felt I was set with the other three. Then I got caught up in launch hype. Now I'm considering getting CoD Black Ops 2 because it still has Wii Remote aiming in, and I'm not even a fan of Call of Duty. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is looking like a good fighter and Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is looking like a game that could fill the Mario Kart gap for a while. Hopefully I'll see sense and just wait for these three to drop in price. Hopefully.

I really hope it is good but all I can think of is Red Steel. Promised so much and delivered so little. I'm not going to cancel my pre-order though. I still think it sounds interesting.

The 3DS is region locked. You'd have to buy all your 3DS games from Japan too.

Your TV would probably do a better job than the adapter. Unless you don't have a component input, I can't really see the point.

The footage looks good but the voice over at the end is terrible. "They can smell normal people coming. Be quiet else they will find you. But that doesn't make them deaf or blind" Doesn't make any sense.

Ah I didn't realise they were available pre-release in Japan. That's not a good sign. They're the only way I'm going to be buying digital versions of games, assuming they tracked the general physical price.

You do have to think that there aren't any DD games out yet though. So it would make sense that there's currently none in stores. As far as online retailers go, maybe they're going with "if you can get online to buy it you can go on the eShop and get it direct".

Just to add that mine also crackles when some games push the audio. The speakers are just not of the same quality as the original 3DS.

I'm loving my 3DS XL but it does have a slight yellow tinge and the bottom screen marks the top screen. Both of the problems I had with the original 3DS.

Absolutely horrific.

I have the PS3 version but I've still purchased it (thanks to @\-Dem0\- for pointing it out) because I found the demo to be a much more playable version. Being able to crouch walk and change camo easily is so much better!

You'll lose everything other than your saves. The saves are stored on the cartridges. I'm not sure if you'll lose your 'Extra Data' because it's on your SD but it might be tied to the console which created it.

or maybe even DLC.

All this talk of Donkey Konga has made me dig out the bongos again. I agree with those who have said that the DLC is a bit pricey. At least in Rock Band you get the whole song when you buy it. Doubt that will stop me from buying them though, especially if it's anything from FFXIII. I love that game, I don't understand all the hate.
