    Yep, it's getting a limited physical run for Europe. But I wouldn't think there will be many up for grabs.

    Well then, maybe Ultima would be better, they claim it's the English version, and of the two, they're the one I have seen mentioned more.
    Which doesn't neccesarily account for anything, but if you want to chance it...

    EDIT - Ultima also updated their price today. So maybe they do have it.

    Awesome thanks! I'll have a look there. Any idea on how they are with delivery from anyone on boards?

    Don't know anything about them.

    I'm after pre ordering from them... :o
    Ah, I'm sure (I hope) it'll be okay. PLN224.90 (€54.36 - taken from my account) delivered.

    Now I worry for ~ 3 months... :eek:

    they said that the gamepad will work in Wii mode with any game that works with a the Wii Gamepad or Gamepad Pro add on. And Xenoblade shipped with the gamepad pro :D Here's hoping! Did the original game require you to switch on compatibility in any way before using it?

    It doesn't, I think you need to plug the gamepad pro into the gamepad.
    As once in Wii Mode, it won't allow the Gamepad to be used.

    EDIT
    I stand corrected.

    It certainly looks better than 6 months ago, but I'm still doubtful.

    Is it worth the gamble on the Polish Project Zero? It's tempting but it will be a nervous 3 months, especially if the language barrier gets in the way of correspondence.

    First thing that comes up after you install the game is this game supports the WiiU gamepad would you like to use it, gonna probably play it just on the gamepad.

    No. It doesn't run natively on the Wii U, it boots up the Wii menu essentially, so no gamepad support.

    edit - for metroid anyway. Apparently xenoblade runs well.

    For me.. No.

    But I've already been wrong today. :D

    I can't haven't figured out how to use the gamepad for metroid trilogy, and I can't haven't figured out how to use the Gamepad for my disc version of xenoblade.

    Just tried Smash online. Lagtastic joke. What is up with that? With UPC and their horizon box. Went to use the usual broadband speed site to check what I'm getting but google is saturated with terribad Irish links.

    The gamepad doesn't work for Metroid Trilogy. The games only support the Wiimote and Nunchuck.

    The Gamepad won't work on the disc version of Xenoblade, it only works on the version bought from the eshop.

    I can't see why Nintendo couldn't run Wii Pro controller compatible games with the gamepad. Surely there's an easy work around but then that would reduce potential sales of said games on the eShop and Nintendo don't want that.

    I'd imagine that's exactly what they've done with Xenoblade Chronicles.

    The Metroid Prime Trilogy doesn't work with the Wii Pro Controller either though, only the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo, they were made specifically to use those.

    I can't remember what it was called, but I originally chose DPD I think, and it then told me I had made an error and gave only one option for international shipping, so I chose that. The shipping was PLN25, which brought the price up to PLN224.90.

    Just one problem, is the art book thing that comes with the game going to be all in polish?

    Also, I'm I thinking this right? I can play Xenoblade Chronicles on the WiiU gamepad? As in I don't have to use a Wii controller connected to a wiimote to play it? If I have that right, I'm gonna buy it tonight.

    Hopefully not. The original link I saw gave two stores, one was in German, and the other was in English. That one was linked as English. I'm hoping because of the small print run that they're mostly/all in English.

    Afaik the eShop version of Xenoblade can be played on the Gamepad. The physical version can't.
    But somebody that has downloaded the eShop version can confirm or deny that. I can't, I haven't got the eShop version.

    Ok good to know. I'll take a chance on that site.

    And I'll buy XC on the eshop tonight. So many games for the WiiU it's ridiculous!
