That's interesting on the Zelda price, that said I'm not getting it. It'd just sit on a shelf mockin me with others. Will sit tight yet. Hopefully by the time I have time to play it it'll be 20euro!

On Injustice, if anyone wants a fighting game I'd strongly recommend injustice in particular for a tenner. I play it the odd time for something different between story games if you know what I mean. Very enjoyable in short bursts.

Had the brother over for a games night last night and was the first time I played Injustice competitively; hell of a lot of fun and better than Tekken for sure.

Loads in Coonagh Cross in Limerick, if that's any good to you.

Bleh why are all the good games nowhere near Dublin although I did get two copies of metroid prime trilogy so there you go.

Not sure if it was mentioned but Mass Effect 3 for the Wii U in HMV Liffey Valley for €10

ok now lets not be getting carried away here.

Tekken 3 and old Tekken Tag for me are two of the best fighting games to this day.

Imo Injustice is good alright but it doesn't hold a candle to those Tekken games.

I haven't played a recent Tekken game so I can't comment. They look nice though.

Comparing a new 2D American-made fighting game designed for console release and supported by later DLC, to an old 3D Japanese-made fighting game designed for arcades (with a later console port) is a bizarre discussion neither of you guys are going to win.

It's like saying the new Mario game was not AS good as my 1999 summer holidays.

Ah in fairness you're right. And to be honest these days I'm of the opinion just play what you like. You like Tekken play Tekken. You like Injustice play Injustice.

We're spoilt for choice really.

Not on the Wii U but on other consoles. I play most of my fighting games on PS2 to be fair with an old namco arcade stick

Anyone know of a tesco that still has zelda Oot for a 5er.. in tipp but will travel

Slim hopes of that at this point, but never say never - while there was nothing stellar, there was new stock in my local over the last few days for Wii and 3DS (Monkeyball 3DS, Splinter Cell 3DS, the first Skylanders for 3DS, Donky Kong Jungle Beat and Alone in the Dark for Wii) that weren't there the first couple of times I went through the racks around Easter. So just because you've checked your local doesn't mean you shouldn't take a 2nd or 3rd look.

Ugh, don't say that. I'm sick of Tesco's at this point & was hoping this was the end of all the madness

Wait a minute, isn't Pikmin 3 included in that list? That's what I was going to choose. It's definitely in the American promotion.

It is I just checked that link.

Clever Nintendo....

Banjo

Holy crap!

Wind Waker here I come

Although, I already own 6 games on that list... I may have a problem...

mayordenis

Did nobody hear that the Wii U is dead in the water?

Anyway wind waker is locked in for me, never game that game the time it deserved.
