    Yeah where do Nintendo get off repackaging Wii remotes and nunchucks as Wii U controllers and sending them back out at €40 a pop? Rip off merchants.

    Argh I kind of want to play it! Even though I may regret the purchase.

    Actually as far as I know there is a demo of the 3ds version. Might try that.

    Rodea has been delayed again.
    NIS America has delayed Rodea the Sky Soldier once again. The game, originally planned for September before being delayed to mid-October, will now launch for Wii U and 3DS on November 10 in North America and November 13 in Europe.

    The company cites “ongoing technical difficulties” for the delay and is pushing back the release “in order to give players the best experience possible.”

    When I was doing this a little while ago, it was cheaper to buy a used wii with the wiimote, nunchuck, sensor bar, then to buy them separate. Price is silly high.

    How are people in RoI ordering from the Nintendo UK site? I thought they don't send to Ireland?

    Are they solid with Parcel Motel or is it like Zavvi / The Hut where you have a 50/50 chance they'll cancel the order if they notice that it's for a parcel forwarding service?

    Ok picked up a Wii U last weekend, yay!

    So far I've got/ordered:
    Zombie U
    Splatoon
    Hyrule Warriors
    New Super Mario Bro U
    Super Mario 3D
    Bayonetta 1 & 2

    Aiming to get shortly:
    Mario Kart 8
    The Legend of Zelda Wind Walker

    Anything glaringly sticking out as missing? Mainly interested in solo player games (i.e. no Smashbros) without internet connection due to the location I'll be using it. Oh and I have a PC so anything like Batman etc. I'd play on the PC rather than the Wii U.

    The Wonderful 101, and it's at the lowest price it's been for a long time on the BA thread.

    You could stick Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Pikmin 3 onto that list as well Nody. Both cracking games.

    I wouldn't trust parcel motel with it but then it might work. I'm lucky enough that I have a UK address to use. Regarding Project Zero.

    Sorry lads, I'm out of the loop again. Is either Splatoon or Yoshi's Wolly World any good single player style?

    Haven't got stuck in to a decent game in months. I'm thinking either one of these or Jurassic World (but I didn't love the other Lego games, much as I wanted to).

    Splatoon is mainly online multiplayer focused. It had about 5/10 hour single player, and about 15 with amiibo challenges.

    Wooly World is a platformer.

    I've played through Wooly World SP and its good craic. Can also be a bit of a challenge if you try to hunt down all the secrets in each level.

    Splatoon SP is good fun (and with one of the best final bosses in gaming for a long time), but short and at times can feel like a glorified tutorial for the MP.

    Phil Spencer of Microsoft had some decent things to say about Nintendo:

    "On the Wii U, I think people downplay how many units they’ve sold. I’ve got a Wii U, I think there’s some great games on there. I think Splatoon’s a really nice game and I don’t think there’s a first-party out there that has the strength of IP that Nintendo has. They’re always a beacon to me when I look at what it means to build a first-party portfolio of products, they’ve done a great job"

    Halo 6 to drop forerunners and instead have the next Halo installation to house the Mushroom Kingdom!
    Cortana to be replaced by Peach!
    When Master Chief lifts his visor he is in fact Luigi!
    The Arbiter to be played by Bowser!
    Warthog to have Red Shell guns as standard, can also drop bananas!
    Dropship pilot now Lakitu!



    I would probably play that :(
