Leave it unopened. Trust me, you're not missing out on anything. It's the worst Zelda game ever.

Couldn't disagree more, it's in the top 3 / 4 for me.

Jaysus no, i very much enjoyed skyward sword, it is a unique zelda title with its controls, to be honest i cant see nintendo doing the wii motion plus controls again, but its something a zelda fan should experience. I really enjoyed the story line too, im curious why do you call it the worst zelda game ever?

wampyrus77

wiiu sensor bar is compatible with the wii, and i got golden wii motion plus controller free with sky swords, four swords on gamecube is worst zelda ever, or spinoff link's crossbow, or how about spirit tracks

Splatoon really has taken me by surprise ever since its reveal at e3 , just when you think the shooter genre has become mundane Nintendo young team got together whats shaping to be one of the most unique/ crazy platforming shooters I ever seen in a long time.

Yep.
I'm really looking forward to it..

Apparently they have a few original other game ideas and addons for the Wii U too. I can't remember where I saw that, but it was a video and they interviewed the same team behind Splatoon.
They sounded very excited and motivated, which is always good (hopefully )

That may have been in the Treehouse at E3, watched that as well and they were certainly hinting at other game ideas.

So will majora's mask special edition be a GAME/Nintendo.co.uk exclusive as usual or will we be able to order it from Amazon?

I'm not too bothered really, I'll get the game either way, but are Nintendo in some sort of million year contract with GAME?

Splatoon looks interesting, glad to see there is a big single player.

I'm wondering about if Majora will be on Amazon as well. they seem to have gotten bad lately, at least for Nintendo. First the whole thing with Bayonetta. Not the pricing fiasco, but the fact they took so long to add the different editions.
They also haven't updated the Captain Toad release date so they may just be slow at adding Majora as both the new date and the Majora were announced the same day.

Edit: Okay found it through Best Sellers
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Legend-Zelda-Majoras-Nintendo/dp/B00KL4PQ3Q/ref=zg_bs_videogames_16

No Special edition though

Allyall

I wonder how aware Nintendo are of the lack of options to buy over here, I think they think we're part of or inside the UK.
I sent an email a while ago, received a reply, but sent it to Nintendo.com.
I should have emailed Nintendo EU. I'm not on FB or Twitter..


Anyway...
Does anyone know if One piece Unlimited World Red Day One Edition is the same as the Chopper Edition? Or is that different again, from both Chopper edition and Straw Hat Edition?

I can't find much info and it's a bit confusing. Also, what exactly are the differences?

For the impatient fans planning on buying the game on its release day (“Day 1”), BANDAI NAMCO Games Europe S.A.S. has prepared a unique offer to show this game’s uniqueness, the “Straw Hat Edition”:

One Piece Unlimited World Red full game
Exclusive Costumes: 10 outfits – Luffy Strong World Outfit & the Anniversary Pack with 9 outfits commemorating Japan’s 15th anniversary of the One Piece animated series.
A unique quest where the 2 brothers are re-united: “Flame Fist & Straw Hat”

This terrific Anniversary Pack won’t be sold later!



One Piece Unlimited World Red Day 1 Edition
Key Holder of Chopper
10 stickers of the Straw Hat Crew members and the game logo
Wall scroll of Chopper
Lanyard with Chopper
Artbook
The Takoyaki DLC Pack (3 costumes & 1 quest)

EDIT:
I read a little more

Oh it might be better than a lot of games but it's still the worst Zelda. It was a chore, I finished only because when I start something I see it through but it was awful and I was glad when it was over. I love Zelda, I have them all. I bought the Collectors Edition with the gold remote on launch day. It's the only Zelda game I hate and I loved the others.


How people are blind to it's many, many faults I'll never know. I'll name a few, the list is endless. Disjointed world, empty sky, one village, no interesting NPC besides Groose, Fi; the worst companion in the history of gaming, dowsing, few mini games and of what there are they were really poor, couldn't fly at night, the non skippable cut scenes, the constant rehashing of areas, the constant replaying of bosses, the veryend boss that was over in 20 seconds, the musical instrument that you didn't play; just wave left and right, the non existent music. I could go on and on and on.


Painful game. Still have it, it's in pristine condition, never opened anything else, just the game went into the Wii and back into the box when it was finished. People pay a fortune for the Collectors Edition on Ebay. If they only knew how rotten it is.

I have to completely disagree. The only aspect I didn't like was bomb throwing. I loved the game.

Bomb throwing was fine. The controls worked really well for the most part except for the constant recalibrating. Some of the boss battles were good. The one with the bombs was very good but honestly it was awful. I was so disappointed. I honestly think Nintendo didn't bother because it was so late in the Wii life cycle and required people to buy motion plus. So they just half @rsed it. Ye must be blind if ye can't see all its faults.

Zelda 2 is the worst Zelda game imo, Skyward Sword was a good game, but not in my top 5.

Nahh my sights grand thanks. Not the best Zelda ever but still a really good game. The Temples were excellent in it and the traversing from them to the next area is some of the best in the series. Awful is certainly not a word I would put anywhere near Skyward Sword.

Star Lord

Yeah some great temples, and between the temples was interesting too, and very fun.

What for me massively with Skyward Sword though was all the references and nods to the games that predate it, but come later chronologically. Felt like the world was steeped in LoZ history.

I know where you're coming from. It took me ages to finish. One word I'd use to describe it is repetitious. I remember one part, where you go back to the flooded forest for what felt like the 20th time, and just kind of... giving up! I think it was the swimming controls that tipped me over the edge, awful.

OMG Amiibo Settings! Wii U System Update 5.3.0 U Tour

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfQ_Yz-vsrY

That was a painfully slow update. Thank God they're not daily occurrences. That seemed to me like a big update so I'm expecting more than just the amiibo support. It's early doors so we'll see what people sniff out.

More info:

Next couple of amiibo rounds confirmed for Japan – Shulk, Rosalina, Sonic, Mega Man, and more

Nintendo is releasing amiibo figures in waves. In Japan, there will be eight figures in round two and another three in the third set.

Fan favorites like Shulk and Rosalina will be available in the second set. And perhaps most importantly, the first third-party figures are releasing in the third – Sonic and Mega Man.

Most of the figures pictured above are due out in Japan on January 22. Shulk, Sonic, and Mega Man are the three expected in February.
Pricing is set at 1,200 yen each.

To summarize:

January 22
Lucario
Rosalina
Bowser
Toon Link
Sheik
Ike
Meta Knight
King Dedede

February
Shulk
Sonic
Mega Man

Just as a reminder, this is for Japan only. It’s slightly confusing because the amiibo rounds are different between the west and Japan. We’re getting Zelda, Luigi, and a few others in December, which is round two for us. But Japan is getting all of these figures in their first round at launch.

http://nintendoeverything.com/thirdfourth-round-of-amiibo-figures-confirmed-shulk-rosalina-sonic-mega-man-and-more/

Toon Link amiibo compatible with MK8; Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik supported in Hyrule Warriors

Nintendo’s Japanese amiibo website confirms additional functionality for some figures.

First, Toon Link will be compatible in Mario Kart 8 – likely another Mii costume. Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik are also supported in Hyrule Warriors.

You may recall that Nintendo announced amiibo functionality for all of the Smash Bros. figures in Hyrule Warriors during last week’s Nintendo Direct. However, it seems that Toon Link, Zelda, and Sheik will offer unique functionality rather than randomly selected materials, weapons and rupees.
