And it is a really beautiful game loving it so far although a little hard for my 4 year old though the piggy back system still works.

cloud493 · 21-02-2014 8:39pm

Well I already had a Wii U, I wanted it for someone else

I got donkey kong from gamestop, since theres one right next to my work.

DARK-KNIGHT · 21-02-2014 8:40pm

Donkey kong is all kinds of awesome... it plays fantasticly well..

Another massive title for a failed console...

Fair play to ya!:)
You seemed to have gone/checked everywhere, I thought it was for yourself, epecially when i saw you contemplating Navan.

A friend of mine reckons that the price drop is limited to a certain amount. Currys/PC World had extra UK stock, and were able to sell them. It's not likely Harvey Norman will get the go ahead from Nintendo to drop price also, but Argos might.
Deluxe edition is going to replace Premium in stores, but price is expected to remain below €300 (Poss €250) which is a great price, with two good games, but price is obviously not confirmed.

I was keeping an eye out for another since you had done a lot of leg work.

cloud493 · 21-02-2014 8:53pm

Well he said 'if you can get a Wii U for under 200 I'l play it'

iamtony · 21-02-2014 9:56pm

Very challenging game! Which is great for me but not so much for kids they don't stand a chance.

I wouldn't say it's failed just yet, It's a shame it's not doing very well, it's the most played console I've had since my snes days and I've had them all.

Ah in fairness, DK (he was actually destined to love Donkey Kong it seems!) is a big Nintendo fan. It was more sarcasm towards a certain thread in the main Games forum and a few posters, 1 in particular imo, who seem to take joy from it not doing well.

I downloaded the Demo of Wonderful 101. For the first 5 minutes I thought there was way too much on the screen, I didn't have a clue what was going on, just randomly running and firing. Then I started interacting with the different "wonders" on the game pad and thought I knew what I was doing, then it took me 10 minutes to get into the Public Toilet

.
Thought I was figuring out the game and I am now realising I know nothing about it.
Over an hour has passed! This game has me HOOKED!!

I still only barely know what I am doing, but I can now morph into a fist/Gun/Sword :cool::pac:

How have I never heard of this game before! :eek:

JUSTICE MISSILE!! BOoooOOOM!

If you enjoy the demo, you really need to get the game. It's excellent. The demo's poor in comparison. It's also completely bonkers, although that's expected from Platinum.

I was going to buy it from Amazon, but don't think I want to wait. Going to buy it somewhere here.

Just reserved it in Argos

Goodbye Saturday and Sunday.

There are a few on Ebay. I just bought this and realised as soon as i did, that there's no game in it. :mad::mad:

Every other version of that brand new I've seen is over €80
Ebay
Amazon FR, UK, DE, ES, IT, COM and CA

So i should have copped on before the purchase was completed.

:(.

How could it be "Brand New" if he has opened the box, removed all of the items, and taken the disc out?

I've just sent a cancel request. I hate ebay.

cloud493 · 23-02-2014 8:11pm

Picked up for windwaker for a reasonable sum today. It really is lovely, only a few things give away its a ten year old game.

petes · 24-02-2014 10:07pm

Stuck four hours in to Donkey Kong this evening. Really enjoying it, some fairly hard parts in it!! Can see it being tough to collect everything!

If Donkey Kong is anything like the previous one, which I'm playing through on the 3DS at the moment, it's going to be a ball of frustration after the first world!

It's excellent so far. I'm on World 4 and have loved every minute of it. The K levels are deadly though.

I looked at my email this morning and Donkey Kong is being dispatched from hd wow.

I still haven't gotten around to finishing Mario 3D world and ive bought the following games in the past month that remain unopened.

Mass Effect 3
Deus Ex
Injustice
Batman Arkhan City

I also need to finish Rayman and want to go back to get the extra levels in NSMB wii u.

So many first world problems it is genuinely hard to know where to start! Lol.

Oh and to top it all Mario Kart is coming very soon!!!
