Nice, Hope ye find them at low prices.
TBH Im sick off going into every shop and searching bargain threads month after month.
I just went mad and bought em all, Im done now, now more stressing. Its a relief

Ill wait for Zelda Wii U/NX and that be that unless they announce something decent for 2016.
In Fairness of 30 Wii U games I have they are all fab, what a great but limited library it has.

Wii U may have the best Zelda(s) yet, best Smash bros, best Mario Kart. Love Splatoon and Mario Maker and such.
Only thing I dont think we have this generation is a killer Mario 3D Game. Heres hoping of larger scale Mario game for NX near launch.

I'll have him whipped and dragged behind my horse!

You didn't like 3D World? I thought it was as good as any of the other 3D Marios.

What we missed out on this generation was a Metroid Prime or F-Zero game.

Other than them, yeah, it had a fantastic library of games.

I agree with that but it's not the only franchises we've missed.

I loved SuperMario3DWorld, it has some amazing little touches to it. It might be one of my fav Wii U games. It always put a smile on your face.

But felt like enhanced 3DS game or NewSuperMarioU with enjoyable but forgetble little levels compared to Galaxy1&2, Sunshine and mario64. I dunno it just didnt have that scale that ZeldaWiiU will have or likes Uncharted4 etc...

Each Nintendo generation deserves 1 Mario game thats a system seller on its own. Like ZeldaU cud have been if it had released 2 yrs ago & not end of platforms lifetime. I just hope get that Mario64 hype again once MarioNX is 1st demo'd where no way its not day 1 purchase.

I would have loved a Metroid update, sure enough, but the other once Ninty exclusives would have been great to have seen, Super Monkey Ball or a new Eternal Darkness episode would have been sweet.
Battalion Wars 3 would have been well suited to the Gamepad, as would a Luigi's Mansion or Pilotwings.
Even a single player Splatoon title, or even a vehicular combat game around the same paint/ink ruleset would have been fantastic.

Banjo

And a proper Animal Crossing.
I'd have loved to see PES build on their groundbreaking Wii games by introducing a kind of "pundit" control on the Wii U where you can circle players and draw out your plays. (alternatively, expand PFC to Armchair Football Club!)
And no Pokemon Arena battler? Boooo!
Given they own the Diddy Kong character, is there anything stopping them from making a Diddy Kong Racing sequel, and then destroying it with Amiibo-based DLC?

Ah well, fingers crossed for MarioKart Maker on the NX...

CiDeRmAn

The lack of a proper WiiU Animal Crossing game is beyond understanding, unless you think that at the point when it might have been developed Nintendo just said "bugger this" and decided to hold it over for the NX, repurposing Mario Party into an Animal Crossing board game instead.

MilesMorales1

It seems to me (this is my baseless opinion with no evidence) Maybe Ninty realised the Wii U wasn't coming back relatively early on, and decided to cut their losses sooner rather than later and started shifting development to a new platform.

Starfox Zero is £22.99 (+£1.29 P+P) at base.com

works out at about €30

I'd wait unless you're in a rush to play it. Those games will go lower in price, more so SFZ. Base were charging £29.49 for Star Fox Zero, then it was £25 on Monday, 3 days later it's £23. I think that game has some way to go before the price bottoms out. It's been a commercial failure and it didn't review very well either. The game's only 3 weeks old and it's down to €30 delivered already.

For a laugh. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is only €80 from everybodys favourite retailer, Gamestop.

No that's not the Fortissimo Edition, just the regular game.

I'm still waiting for the Fortissimo Edition to be available anywhere. It's silly that you want to buy something but Nintendo seem to have only printed about 100 copies.

The reason I asked, I rang Dundalk and asked them to send it to another store for me. Got a bit of a lecture from the girl on the phone, and told to ring my local store, ask the manager to request it.
I did that, and the manager told me to ring Dundalk. After I explained to him, he said he'd request it and ring me back.
I never heard back so rang two days later to see if it had been possible, and received a telling off from the manager saying it will be done this once, but I'm not to ask ever again. It costs too much in shipping etc..
I haven't heard anything since. That was Friday to the beginning of this week.
Felt like a scolded Schoolboy.
If I don't get it after that.... :mad:
I also bought another game "brand new" from the site, collected it yesterday and it's not brand new. no sealed wrapper, opened box.

Gamestop normally take there games out of the box into a plastic pack and use the case to display unlike argos they dont display so leave them sealed.
You should contact head office and report the manager you dealt with no need to be treated like that.
Also if doesnt cost him anything to send it to a local as the post is paid by head office for them to ship on a tuesday and thursday weather its one item or 50.
I have never had a problem getting a store to send an item to another ive even had a game down to 1cent sent from i think sligo to kilkenny with no problems.
If you dont get the game and if you want ill ring them i like dealing with ignorant people like that i wouldnt be long putting them in there place ha.

Andrew76

Aye, no way you should have to put up with behaviour like that from staff. Get the game and make a complaint. Feck giving them your money again.

Allyall

Hoping to get the game during the week, then I think I'll give them a wide berth.

Ya it nose dived off a cliff. I don't think it even placed in the UK chart. I picked it up on Paddy's Day for €21 posted on Amazon.

Splatoon is on Amazon.co.uk for €21.
